Socialism kills alot more...
Only two months until the UN tries to Ban the Private Ownership of Firearms!
Name them....
How many people die of bombings every year? SOME gun deaths are the result of protection/self-defense. ALL bombings are a deliberate act of violence.
Bedwetters.
Let the UN try to make Gaza gun-free first.

Then we can be certain that the people who need to be killed won't be
Ms Peters urged the United Nations to impose global regulations on arms distribution and set minimum guidelines for national rules on gun control.
Ms. (how seventies!) Peters can #$*! my pasty white free American *&$#.
IANSA estimates that there are about 640 million small arms in the world, 59 per cent of them in the hands of civilians.
Good lord! Whose stupid idea was it to let governments hoard 41% of our guns?!?
Get rid of totalitarian leftist governments globally, and the “gun death” total will shrink tenfold.
Stupid European Barf Alert
it doesn't break it down into defensive or offensive, a conspicuously absent statistic
If people would just stop shooting back at the people who are trying to kill or enslave them, those numbers would drop dramatically.
1,000/day x 365/days=365,000/year killed by handguns. Now divide 365,000/6,616,000,000(world population)= 5.515 or .05%. So we are going to get upset because .05% of the worlds population dies each year. Disease and Communism kill more each day than guns do.AWB
So? Victim disarmament kills 30,000 a day.
Yawn...

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.
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!
