Yes and most of these anti gun types use the stereotypical argument that its safer if we ban guns. In fact on average in the US there are 12,000 - 13,000 gun related homicides every year. There are over 33,000 auto fatalities and over 30,000 deaths from the flu so your chances of getting killed in a car accident or dying from the flu are twice as likely as being killed by a gun.

As we all know ad nauseum the criminals don’t buy their weapons in the gun stores anyway so if you ban guns the criminals who commit most of the homicides will still be out there killing folks with great abandonment.

There is only one reason to want to take weapons from the hands of the average law abiding citizen and that is government control. We will be fighting to maintain the 2nd ammendment as long as we live. This fight will never end.

Actually, you missed the one about fatalities caused by doctors. If you interpret it the same way you interpret gun death statistics, Doctors are FAR more dangerous than guns and gun owners ...
