Make your argument to the parents of the kids in Newtown. I wanna see you stand there in front of them and lay out that line of crap.

Absolutely, don't forget automobiles. 32,367 automobile deaths in 2011. It has been much more than that in prior years. Ban automobiles! LOL And, let's not forget the 1,000,000 plus babies killed through abortion every year.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence!

Talent will not; nothing is more common than an unsuccessful man with talent.

Genus will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb!

Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts!

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent!

Its not the behavior , but your interpretations of it, that generate your emotional response. We can even feel two emotions such as pleasure and regret simultaneously."

I think this says enough about you.

Now think about this:

Guns

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is
80,000,000.

(Yes, that's 80 million)

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths
per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is
.0000188

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, statistically, doctors are approximately

9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUTAlmost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.

We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Out of concern for the public at large, We withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention

Respectfully, this is a false comparison and adds nothing helpful to the debate.

I think sarge was trying to have a little fun...he is delusional...but I like his delusions.

I am a gun owner but wont debate this issue...My opinion is that anyone who needs an automatic assualt rifle to hunt deer or go the shooting range is simply a crappy shot...
