[MisterRepublican]

YES, AND BAN SUVs TOO!

[wvobiwan]

Ban Democrats, they are much more dangerous.

[Conspiracy Guy]

undermining the notion that such weapons are harmless in the hands of young people.

Whoever said that? Young people raised by human parents are taught to respect all dangerous things, including things in the kitchen drawers.

[Sender]

If Kerry is elected: "These weapons are silent killers and leave no cartridge cases behind for law enforcement to track down criminals. They serve no sporting purpose in either duck hunting or deer hunting, so are not covered by either half of the second amendment. I am signing an executive order today to ban their sale and possession."

"You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"

[reagandemo]

Sorry the fault lies in the parents of these kids. You teach them a healthy respect for the gun and how to safely carry and use it. This is a sad fact that parents will give a kid a pellet or BB gun without doing this.

[AppyPappy]

Alcohol overdoses kill 1100 teens/college students every year.

[brewcrew]

God forbid we should actually teach them how to safely use 'em.

How many people a year die from butter knives, baseball bats, and skiing equipment?

[bluecollarman]

Ban Skates first!

March 2002, there were an estimated 50,000 emergency department visits and 1,500 hospitalisation among children and adolescence in the US per year with skateboard related injuries. Skateboarders are more likely to suffer more serioes injury than inline skaters and rollers. According to a study conducted by Osberg et al (1998) 50.8% had head injuries compared to 33.7% of inline skaters and 18% of rollers skaters.

According to the Injury Severity Score, injuries to skateboarders were eight times more likely to be severe or critical compared to roller skater¹s injuries, and skateboarder¹s injuries were more than twice as likely to be severe or critical compared to inline skaters injuries. Injuries include fatalities.

Don't even get me started on ski's and Bicycles.

[TC Rider]

Better get my full auto Drozd Bumblebee before it's outlawed!

[Steve_Seattle]

Bicycles kill hundreds and injure thousands every year (between 650 and 850 annual USA fatalities for most years between 1985 and 2002), but I doubt you'll see CNN advocate banning bicycles.

[Scales]

What about wrist rockets and those dart guns and and lawn darts. Dodge Ball. Did I tell you about the time I got hit in the head with a baseball?????

[newgeezer]

CNN? Hey, if it doesn't bother you to fund the left, go ahead and increment their hit counter.

[Prime Choice]

First they ban guns that are too small.
Then they ban guns that are too big.
Then they ban guns that are too powerful.
Then they ban guns that are too weak.

And ain't it peculiar how Democrats accuse Bush of "exploiting 9/11" when they themselves cite 9/11 in their push for more anti-gun laws?

Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat!

[forewarning]

My grandfather wouldn't let my mother have a BB gun -- said it was too dangerous. Waited, got her a 22 caliber rifle. Less dangerous, because she wouldn't shoot someone as a joke.
