So? Victim disarmament kills 30,000 a day.

A former supporter of gun control; "These two reports were done with essentially the same criteria and methods, and they clearly show that while selected violent crime rates rose 100% in the UK, they fell 65 % in the U.S. During this time, Britain outlawed private ownership of firearms, while over 70 million additional civilian firearms were sold in the U.S. (4) At the very least, a reasonable person is forced to conclude that availability of firearms to the general public is not a contributing factor to any increase in crime."

Take the AKs away from the Sudanese and you will cut that number down to just a couple a day.
Wish I'd said THAT!
First,
365,000 a year sounds like a lot but it's only 0.000056% of the worlds population. I think the common cold kills far, far, far, far more people then that world wide.
Secondly, when did guns start killing people on there own?
If guns have indeed started killing people without anyone pulling the trigger I for one think those guns should be brought to justice and to a research lab pronto!
While I find that number hard to believe, I can say alot more definitively that EVERY DAY, about 25 to 60 (numbers are all over the map) of innocents are killed or maimed at the hands of Islamofascists around the world, and in this case, the numbers are well documented: thereligionofpeace

The U-nited N-azis encourage the killing of the unborn.How many is that per day??HYPOCRITES!
Would they mind recalculating those "statistics" after removing any/all gang-banger hits and drug dealer related incidents?
I didn't think so.

Anyone know why Martins' post was pulled? His pic and comments seemed relatively harmless.
Good question. Wasn't even off-topic.
"By law abiding citizens, I am sure. Right???"
Blue-haired ladies at church bingo games, no doubt.
Yeah, an Historic Moment for ol' Marty.
I didn't get to see the T&A pics! NO FAIR!! Put em' back up just a little bit.
Socialists in Asia, Europe and Africa have been responsible for the deaths of more than 100,000,000 in the twentieth century alone. That works out to about 2857 deaths per day, easily drawfing the 1000/day claim by these liars.
As other posters will surely observe: Should these freedom stealers try to disarm us, there were be a momentary increase in "gun violence".
