    • the comments on this article makes you think: "no. its not about to change. they REALLY love their guns. Its incrustated in the US society"Ben99
    • no americans with cars. and dr's with prescription pads...get your stats right.yurimon
    • I like the nit picked details to make it look like guns are the #1 killer. nice peace of propagandar.yurimon
    • yurimon, i see you didnt read the article...Ben99
    • I read it. I'm familiar with the stats. i dont know if I would count suicide. Cause over all suicide is a larger stat if you group gun stats with other methods.yurimon
    • Perhaps the bigger take away is that Americans are a bigger threat to themselves. 60% of gun deaths attributes to suicide is a pretty shocking stat.IRNlun6
    • nit picks to make it look like a bigger problem. leaves out a whole range of other issues. then uses the sc killing as the ribbon on the propaganda packaging.yurimon
    • Plus with the extremely low probably of terrorism, it's clearly not such an existential threat requiring massive amounts of resources.IRNlun6
    • Yawn. Big bro wants to protect me from myself, whats new. Come and take it.gilgamush
