The United States, One Of The Most Gun-Friendly Countries In The World

Like i pointed out, over 260 Americans a day die from prescription drug overdose, now that is a crisis, so where is the government or the media on that issue?

Where did your number come from? Everything I see puts it at around 100.

When I have the time I will try to find the source I used, but for arguments sake, lets use your figures of 100 deaths per day vs the 30 murders a day(including gang related murders) contributed to guns. Make the argument of which issue is more of a US crisis.

dog whistle rant. The romantic notion had nothing to do with self protection, it had to do with the notion that your weapons will save us all from government tyranny. Had you read my post in context rather than trotting out argument #21 describing to the stupid anti gun liberal why you need your weapon, you
could have saved yourself a shitload of time and bandwidth.

Let's be fair now...text takes almost no bandwidth.

You dishonestly focus only on mass shootings. Focus on all gun murders.

Total number of gun murders for the entire year of 2012: 9,146.
Total number of deaths from overdosing on prescription drugs in 2009: 20,000

You could make the argument that there are more deaths from wearing seatbelts, than guns killing people.

Voter ID or no?


How about an answer, and I appologize if you answered already.

Crisis is too grandiose for my tastes. Shit, if I'm being honest, my crisis meter isn't picking up either issue at the moment. Maybe it's broken. As to making your argument, maybe next time.

I forgot, was there a point there somewhere?
Not being rude honestly I'm stoned and can't recall.

Is it that we should have to show id to purchase arms?
Cause we do.
