    We don't have a DUI problem either, but liberals never talk about that.

    Nah, you can look up forty years, I'll just give you last year's

    Before you start comparing it to auto deaths, keep in mind that autos primarily purpose ain't to kill something, also, the auto is used quadruple times in one hour more than all the guns in America are used in a year, probably forty years not counting wars

    And if you are next going to tell us next gun deaths have declined while gun sales has increased, forget that also, you can't prove causation, especially considering there exists an array of variables that explain it better

    I've never once compared gun deaths to auto deaths. But clearly you are channeling your inner Donald Trump, which is rather ironic, in claiming these high murder rates. Murder rates have dropped dramatically in this country

    "never talk about it?"

    Every visit a high school right before Senior prom, kids are pounded with drinking and driving, and last I knew teachers aren't home listening to talk radio

    And just as I told the other poster, autos primarily purpose ain't to kill something, and the auto is used quadruple times in one hour more than all the guns in America are used in a year, probably forty years not counting wars, and some of the drivers are stupidly drunk

    I was just anticipating the two "arguments" most often employed by gun lovers, and you did hit on one

    "Dramatically, no, continuously, yes, but it has nothing to do with the increase of guns in America, as I explained above, and especially since the total number of guns has increased but the number of gun owners has decreased

    there are over 20 thousand gun laws in this country. no more, dumbass.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    anything can be used as a weapon, so automatic dismissal based upon intent of the item is copping out and not wanting to deal with the real issue, that of simple human nature of agression and violence.
