Amount of deaths by cars in the USA in 2011 were 32,367. Number of gun homicides was 11,493. Basically, you're 3 times more likely to be killed by a car than by a gun and yet you'd have us believe there is a gun-violence epidemic.

What you would like is a country where only the government have access to guns. And that's also what the government (both in the US and UK) would like. It has nothing to do with protecting us or keeping us safe and everything to do with them just wanting to be the group that has a monopoly on the guns. When it comes to the government, the name of the game is power and just about everything that they do is done to enhance it.

I like your trying to spin 11,493 homicides into a good thing, thats still 11,493 people who were killed with a gun in one year.

Point being, nobody ever talks about car deaths or proposes to do something about car deaths. Would you give more weight and importance to the lives of 11,493 than to 32 thousand?

Because car deaths are usually accidents, gun homicides usually aren't.

majority of car accidents are preventable so I see car deaths as a greater problem than gun deaths.

Anyways, say what you will but if it wasn't for the right of citizens to own guns, the US might well still be a British colony. It serves as the last and ultimate check against authority and government that has overstepped its bounds.

As opposed to deaths caused by guns that are not preventable? Actually, how are car accidents preventable?

Weapons have advanced to such a stage that if every citizen in America had guns, the government would still be able to kick your asses. Obama is droning the **** out of other countries. I doubt he's scared of a guy called buck, in Nebraska, clinging to his guns and religion.
