And here is a question to you , smart ass - where is your statistics
how many people die an every fucking day around the globe from hands
of Islamic terrorists? 12,319 deadly terror attacks were committed by
the "religion of peace " since 9/11. How about that? How about the
freshest Islamist butchery in Mumbai?
The number of deaths from liberals sniffing and licking Barack Hussein
Obama's ASS HOLE will be far greater.
How about ONE DEATH from a gun? If someone's young son found their
Dad's loaded gun and shot himself in the eye and died, would THAT be
one too many?

"In 2001, 96 children ages 14 and under died from poisoning incidents.
Although household cleaners are a frequent cause of poisoning, kids can
also be fatally poisoned by iron, alcohol and carbon monoxide."
http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/bgiron.html
"Since 1986, poison control centers in the United States have received
reports of more than 110,000 incidents of children under 6 accidentally
swallowing iron tablets. Some of the children were hospitalized; more than
35 died."
Better lock up Mommy's housekeeping supplies and iron tablets too.
Mossad and CIA did it.

Would you also consider it one too many if it occurred with a penknife, a

"Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that

When you are reduced to the emotional appeal, you concede that you lost the
rational argument
FAR MORE kids die each year drowning in buckets and bathtubs, than shoot
themselves or another accidentally
Hell, FAR MORE are killed in car accidents and bike accidents too..
So Consider the following
1) Gun control does NOT work to reduce crime
2) Gun control does NOT work to make bad things NOT happen
3) The Law of Diminishing returns makes the cost of things INCREASE
EXPONENTIALLY for each additional target achieved as you approach smaller
targets
The fact that you are focused on guns instead of other objects that are the
source of far more children's deaths demonstrate that you do NOT really care
about how many kids are killed
You just want to have an excuse to ban guns
