    How weak. What about the Golden Corral too while you're at it?

    Don't forget about old age.

    Why is that weak?  A question was asked about what else causes so many deaths? Smoking is very high on that list, and does kill hundreds, even innocent of people who don;t even smoke. 
    No one was saying gun deaths are okay. Just answering the question. Just like my answer of "fast food." I'm not suggesting we ban fast food, but it is linked to the #1 killer in America.

    I haven’t been to one since I was a kid.  It was awesome then, what 6 year old wouldn’t love endless ice cream :). I’ve heard they are pretty gross now, though.  I’m not sure why Thirty is so obsessed with it?

    Lol

    I'm just kinda irritated with the juvenile arguments put forth in defence of guns. Some fat f**k's decision to eat a ton of fast food doesn't directly impact other people's lives like an AR15 does.

    If it wasn't obvious... I'm poking fun at your obesity epidemic. It's hand in hand with the problematic attitude that is becoming prevalent in the US.

    Nobody was making a juvenile argument in gun defense. Someone asked what else kils 0.015% of users, and there were some answers. That was all it was. In all reality, fast food probably kills 20% of it's users, but nobody was saying that in defense of guns, just answering the question.
    Seems like people get called out all the time for not answering a question, but now are juvenile when they do? That isn't the case.

    Halifax asked and people answered.  But on your note, smoking cigarettes and second hand smoke directly effects plenty.  Fast food and obesity indirectly through higher premiums...and so on and so on.

    I get that. But again (and in a slightly different context)... they have been served up as counter arguments to the logic supporting gun regulation. These examples are the same examples trotted out there routinely when people are asking for a ban of certain weaponry in the wake of things like a Las Vegas concert or elementary school massacre.

    Have you wondered where your next national massacre is going to be? You know it's coming right? There are no ostriches with their heads stuffed in the sand thinking the threat is gone around here are there? There's a bunch of individuals going about their day as we speak that are on destiny's path where they will meet their end at the hands of some f**king lunatic armed with a weapon that you constantly defend the right to own.

    Don't worry though. As the math was done earlier... it's likely not going to be you or anyone you love so big whoop!

    Wow. You got me. Second hand smoke is as lethal as bullets (obviously if you can't walk away from the smoke and are exposed to it for years).

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • Where else can you point where that rate of failure results in the deaths of thousands of innocent people?

    Automobiles- 222,000,000 licensed, 1,300,000 deaths .59%

    Drugs-25,000,000 users, 72,000 deaths .29%

    Sky Diving-3,500,000 people, 21 deaths .006%

    Cycling-17,400,000 sold, 800 avg deaths a year .005%

    Amazing to see so many people wanting to put their efforts into trying to prove that guns don’t really kill that many people, compared to things like illegal drugs and skydiving.

    :weary:
