I realise as you say theres a vast number of morons with guns. thats th ewhole problem. ....for evil to thrive all it takes is for good men (and women) to do nothing, the good people, the moral clever decent peace loving people must get mad and fight tooth and nail using their love of peace and pacifism and good moral law and order to reduce the guns and weapons available to joe public...this is an enormous problem and frankly it must be addressed now. otherwise you and all americans may as well leave tonight because that great country will go to hell in a handbasket

and why are you focusing on gun shots? does it honestly matter to you if your family member was killed by gunshot, or knife, or rope?? the facts are that the US is one of the safest and least violent countries in the world, and actually the UK has higher violent cfrime rates than the US. Why are you so obsessed with gun shot homocides, if you compare Europe as a whole with the USA it's about the same, so no, this is not a US problem, Europe is just as violent and has similar rates of homocide as the USA.
IF i have to choose between getting shot or stabbed, i'd choose getting shot.
The point is that it doesn't matter how tyou kill someone. You are selectively usaing statistics to be anti-gun when in fact having guns has nothing to do with it.
South America has some of the strictest gun laws in the world, they also have the highest number of murder rates, so wtf does guns have to do with it??
Once again you have proven that yur username is ironic.
