So how do you explain 48 gun deaths in the UK, vs 30,000 in the US?
Adjusted for population, its about 250 vs 30,000.
- logic, numbers, and facts do not apply to gun owners.CanHasQBN
- 30,000. That is just digusting. 3,000 people died on 9/11 and the country went insane over that. Um.... wtf?!CanHasQBN
- just because there are so many more is irrelevant, even 1 in each country is too much, guns are not the problemalbums
- uh, albums. did you not see these numbers to the left? how can we make this any more clearer?CanHasQBN
- Guns are banned in UK = 250 gun deaths. Guns are not banned in USA = 30,000 gun deaths.CanHasQBN
- I don't know how much simpler the evidence can get. Obviously, guns ARE the problem.CanHasQBN
- You can keep saying your line "people are the problem". Let them be the problem then...CanHasQBN
- I would rather have an UNarmed "person with a problem", than an armed "person with a problem".CanHasQBN
- What about a crazy armed person with a knife? You want to ban those too? It wont fix things.CygnusZero4
- Better a person attacking with a knife than a gun. MUCH better. You think 12 people would've died if he ran after themCanHasQBN
- ..trying to stab them?? Hell no.CanHasQBN
- Besides, as said before, a knife has a separate function. Food & Cooking. Guns were solely invented to kill.CanHasQBN
- You could use anything as a weapon if you hit someone with it hard enough. I'm not saying ban every object in the world...CanHasQBN
- But I draw the line at guns. They are far and away a more effective killing machine than any knife.CanHasQBN
- Cyg, I LOL at your "it won't fix things" line. It OBVIOUSLY fixes things, as can be seen in the stats to your left.CanHasQBN
- 2011 homicides by guns was 8,775. I'm not saying that's good number; I'm saying factual errors affect people's perception of your argument.melq
