    No one has suggested gun deaths are okay, or that it isn't a big deal or calling it a "big whoop" or that guns dont really kill or anything that those who don't like the answers are saying. Its very simple, a question was asked and was answered. Sorry for all of those who don;t like the answers.
    I'm with tempo, why do I keep coming back here when that is the resposne?
    Who said we didn’t like the answers? I just find them irrelevant, particularly when Tempo cooks the books.
    I messed up one... The car deaths.

    Feel free to "use the google" to find all the others are right on par.

    Speaking of "cooking the books" where did you get 45,000 gun deaths per year?

    I'll just use this one as it is still far off.  It shows 38,000 in this one where as I have 36,000 in 2016 in most other places.  If I used a pro gun site it is much lower but I'm not using that.

  • Gun-related suicides and homicides in the United States, 1999-2016[1]
    Gun-related homicide and suicide rates in high-income OECD countries, 2010, countries in graph ordered by total death rates (homicide plus suicide plus other gun-related deaths).[2]

    Gun violence in the United States results in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries annually.[3] In 2013, there were 73,505 nonfatal firearm injuries (23.2 injuries per 100,000 persons),[4][5] and 33,636 deaths due to "injury by firearms" (10.6 deaths per 100,000 persons).[6] These deaths consisted of 11,208 homicides,[7] 21,175 suicides,[6] 505 deaths due to accidental or negligent discharge of a firearm, and 281 deaths due to firearms use with "undetermined intent".[6] The ownership and control of guns are among the most widely debated issues in the country.

    In 2012, there were 8,855 total firearm-related homicides in the US, with 6,371 of those attributed to handguns.[8] In 2012, 64% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides.[9] In 2010, there were 19,392 firearm-related suicides, and 11,078 firearm-related homicides in the U.S.[10] In 2010, 358 murders were reported involving a rifle while 6,009 were reported involving a handgun; another 1,939 were reported with an unspecified type of firearm.[11]

    Firearms were used to kill 13,286 people in the U.S. in 2015, excluding suicide.[12] Approximately 1.4 million people have died from firearms in the U.S. between 1968 and 2011. This number includes all deaths resulting from a firearm, including suicides, homicides, and accidents.[12]

    Compared to 22 other high-income nations, the U.S. gun-related murder rate is 25 times higher.[13] Although it has half the population of the other 22 nations combined, the U.S. had 82 percent of all gun deaths, 90 percent of all women killed with guns, 91 percent of children under 14 and 92 percent of young people between ages 15 and 24 killed with guns.[13]

    Gun violence is most common in poor urban areas and frequently associated with gang violence, often involving male juveniles or young adult males.[14][15] Although mass shootings have been covered extensively in the media, mass shootings in the US account for a small fraction of gun-related deaths[16] and the frequency of these events steadily declined between 1994 and 2007, rising between 2007 and 2013.[17][18]

    Legislation at the federal, state, and local levels has attempted to address gun violence through a variety of methods, including restricting firearms purchases by youths and other "at-risk" populations, setting waiting periods for firearm purchases, establishing gun buyback programs, law enforcement and policing strategies, stiff sentencing of gun law violators, education programs for parents and children, and community-outreach programs. Despite widespread concern about the impacts of gun violence on public health, Congress has prohibited the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) from conducting research that advocates in favor of gun control.[19] The CDC has interpreted this ban to extend to all research on gun violence prevention, and so has not funded any research on this subject since 1996.[20]

    I stand corrected on the annual gun death number but why is it that we're not allowed to study the issue?

    Interesting you say 'honest'.

    Because if you were being 'honest'... you'd fess up to using the examples as part of the feeble argument against gun control. These same examples are littered about this thread at various times by various people in various contexts as some sort of point that guns are no different than any other item in life.

    Of course logical people don't like the answers... because they are not answers. They are deflections. A tool designed specifically for killing and working exactly as it was designed cannot be compared to a tool designed for transportation that results in an accident.

    Come on, man. You're smarter than that.

    In 2012, there were 8,855 total firearm-related homicides in the US, with 6,371 of those attributed to handguns.[8] In 2012, 64% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides.[9] In 2010, there were 19,392 firearm-related suicides, and 11,078 firearm-related homicides in the U.S.[10] In 2010, 358 murders were reported involving a rifle while 6,009 were reported involving a handgun; another 1,939 were reported with an unspecified type of firearm.[11]

    Firearms were used to kill 13,286 people in the U.S. in 2015, excluding suicide.[12] Approximately 1.4 million people have died from firearms in the U.S. between 1968 and 2011. This number includes all deaths resulting from a firearm, including suicides, homicides, and accidents.[12]

    Compared to 22 other high-income nations, the U.S. gun-related murder rate is 25 times higher.[13] Although it has half the population of the other 22 nations combined, the U.S. had 82 percent of all gun deaths, 90 percent of all women killed with guns, 91 percent of children under 14 and 92 percent of young people between ages 15 and 24 killed with guns.[13]

    Gun violence is most common in poor urban areas and frequently associated with gang violence, often involving male juveniles or young adult males.[14][15] Although mass shootings have been covered extensively in the media, mass shootings in the US account for a small fraction of gun-related deaths[16] and the frequency of these events steadily declined between 1994 and 2007, rising between 2007 and 2013.[17][18]

    , Congress has prohibited the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) from conducting research that advocates in favor of gun control.[19] The CDC has interpreted this ban to extend to all research on gun violence prevention, and so has not funded any research on this subject since 1996.[20]

    I stand corrected on the annual gun death number but why is it that we're not allowed to study the issue?


    24,000,000 active drinkers and 88,000 deaths  .37% Should be .0036.

    Shouldn't you move the decimal over 2 places?
    I must be stoned. You should see my check book! And no online money management for me and I still lick the stamps.

    Do you remember that time you were licking stamps and the black one got stuck on your front tooth right before the Pearl Jam show? Remember all the people that thought you only had one front tooth? And they shouted, "Yee haw! Make American great again!" to you?

    That was weird that accidental 'immersion experiment'.

Despite widespread concern about the impacts of gun violence on public health, Congress has prohibited the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) from conducting research that advocates in favor of gun control.[19] The CDC has interpreted this ban to extend to all research on gun violence prevention, and so has not funded any research on this subject since 1996.[20]

    I went back and triple checked and it is .37%

    On a calculator you would type 88,000 and divide by 24,000,000 and have .003666.  You then move the decimal pt over 2 places to the right and round up .37%

    No one has suggested gun deaths are okay, or that it isn't a big deal or calling it a "big whoop" or that guns dont really kill or anything that those who don't like the answers are saying. Its very simple, a question was asked and was answered. Sorry for all of those who don;t like the answers.
    I'm with tempo, why do I keep coming back here when that is the resposne?
    Who said we didn’t like the answers? I just find them irrelevant, particularly when Tempo cooks the books.
    If the answers are irrelevant, then why ask the question to begin with?

Its very simple, a question was asked and was answered. You don't have to be pro-gun to answer the question.  Sorry for all of those who don;t like the answers.
    I'm with tempo, why do I keep coming back here when that is the response?

    Interesting you say 'honest'.

    Because if you were being 'honest'... you'd fess up to using the examples as part of the feeble argument against gun control. These same examples are littered about this thread at various times by various people in various contexts as some sort of point that guns are no different than any other item in life.

    Of course logical people don't like the answers... because they are not answers. They are deflections. A tool designed specifically for killing and working exactly as it was designed cannot be compared to a tool designed for transportation that results in an accident.

    Come on, man. You're smarter than that.
    I'd agree with you on on previous comments. But this time it wasn't brought up as a deflection, it was brought up by the anti-gun crowd as a question, and then was answered.
    How many times do we see people ask a question then fire back when there is no answer. The question was asked what other things kill as many people as guns and we continue to use as a society. We gave answers. 
    I just don't see how it can be brought up from the anti-gun crowd then be said it was used as a deflection? I haven't seen anyone say anything about gun deaths not being a big deal or anything of that sort in this current discussion. It was simply just an answered question.

    Its like when you look at the Trump thread and someone mentions how Great Hilary would have been, then someone else responds with why they don't agree. Then the original person who brought up Hilary replies with "Bu...bu...bu.. emails, stop bringing up Hilary man." You don;t have to scroll back very far to see multiple examples of that on that thread.

    Seriously. A question was answered. Now it is suddenly juvenile and defensive for putting forth honest answers?
    No one has suggested gun deaths are okay, or that it isn't a big deal or calling it a "big whoop" or that guns dont really kill or anything that those who don't like the answers are saying. Its very simple, a question was asked and was answered. Sorry for all of those who don;t like the answers.
    I'm with tempo, why do I keep coming back here when that is the resposne?
    Who said we didn’t like the answers? I just find them irrelevant, particularly when Tempo cooks the books.
    If the answers are irrelevant, then why ask the question to begin with?
    I’ve explained it as have others. Every example given has resulted in attempts to limit negative impacts.

    I had a possum in the henhouse this morning and I kilt it with a gun.
    That's a true story.

    Now can we please get some fucking common sense gun laws in this country?

    And don't give me that horseshit about "what's common sense?" either!
