Quote by: Sonart Well, my worthy opponent didn't like my exercise in logic and told me to prove it, so I actually went through the process, with links for each point... the number of automobiles operating in the U.S., the average number of times driven each day, the number of fire \arms in the U.S., the number of times firearms were used in defense (their numbers) the number of hunters in the U.S., the estimated number of times they went hunting, the number of firing ranges in the U.S. and the average number of people who used them, the number of firearm deaths and injuries, etc. etc. etc. And yep, it was pretty overwhelming... Guns were thousands of times more likely to cause death or injury than automobiles.

Don’t pat your self on the back so quickly I don’t like it either since you are not even close. You should leave it to the professionals. The odds of you being killed in a car accident is 1 chance in 247, the odds of being killed by a firearm is 1 chance in 5,808. you are 24 times more likely to be killed by a car than a gun. This is especially interesting since 1 out every 3 people in the US is a gun owner and those gun owners have 24/7 access to those guns. A car is only deadly when being driven. Another interesting fact since you are 24 times more likely to be killed by a car and there 100 million gun owners to even out this figure there must be 2.4 billion drivers in the US then….. oops that’s right there are only 300 million people in the US. Nice try…

Here is the link to the statistical odds. Odds of Dying - NSC

Quote by: Sonart AND YET, we must register our automobiles before we can legally operate them, we mush qualify for a license to operate them, and we must have insurance in case of an accident.

LOL that registration, and qualification really makes a difference…LOL

Quote by: Sonart But you say we don't have a right to drive, but we do have a right to own a deadly weapon. Ignoring the obvious, which is why don't we have a right to transportation. As to the right to bear arms... well, no, as of right now we do NOT have an individual right to bear arms. That's what the upcoming case is all about.

The individual right has already been decided. You do have a right to defend yourself, family and your rights though. You don’t have a right to a car do you?

Quote by: Sonart Sounds just like these two young men... ...country well-trained in firearms, they followed procedure and used their rifles exactly as advertised. From over 200 ft away they killed four fellow students, their teacher, and wounded 10 more as they filed out of the school building in compliance with Johnson's tripping a false fire alarm. And neither was a criminal until the moment they pulled those triggers. .

They broke the law the moment they took those guns. This case is isolated and cases like it are rare. It is just plain stupid to make laws based on rare occurrences. The responsibility lands on the shoulders of the parents of those kids not society.
