Arnie: It depends on how you define killed. Yes, there are a lot of gun deaths each day. There are suicides, murders, accidents, self defense, and others. Millions of lives are saved each year through self defense uses of firearms. Hundreds or thousands are killed each year by suicide and murder. But if they didn't have a gun, they'd just use a different weapon, like a bat, crowbar, knife, or whatever else they could get their hands on.

Example: in 2005 there were 14.860 homicides in the US (got this from wikipedia). In 68% of the cases firearms were used (14.860 x 0.68)/365=27.68 deaths every day. That does not include suicide etc.
How many people do you think Cho Seung-Hui could have killed if he only had a crowbar, a bat or a knife? Fact is, killing is much much easier with a gun. If you end up in a fight and you get out of control people a more likely to get killed if you have access to a gun than other weapons like bats, crowbars and knifes.


Hey Arnie I know you want to be a good hippy and all, but you sound like a complete retard.

1. "Getting rid off all of the guns" is a silly and laughable fantasy which is not only juvenile, it's impossible. Guns will ALWAYS be available to criminals no matter what laws are in place. Technology simply cannot be erased, that's a fact. This particular fantasy is no more realistic than getting rid of all "sharp things". If you would like some historical perspective on this read a little bit about prohibition.

2. You do not have the right to decide whether or not I have the right to own a firearm. In theory, the constitution should completely protect me from your abounding fagginess and six year old intellectual capabilities.

And machine guns have been illegal in America since sometime in the 70's. The other semi-automatic rifles that you might see from time to time are just that, semi-automatic.

There's a shooting range in Nevada (near Las Vegas) where you can shoot an Uzi, but to my knowledge, you can't own an Uzi in any state. I may be wrong on that though, living in California tends to make one think that anything "bad" is banned everywhere.


Yeah, you're completely wrong. In most other states you just need the proper transfer fees and other requirements to own an automatic weapon. You dipshits from California seem to have a tendency to provide information based more on the goings on in your own ridiculous state than actual facts.

You assholes will never get within 50 feet of burning celebrity hotness. Take a close look at the photo below and try not to drown in your tears. That's right dipshits, that's a picture of me and the finest leading man to ever grace the silver screen. When that picture was taken I was saying "We can get you a stunt double for this shot Mr. Selleck." As I'm sure you would expect he replied "Stunt double...stunt double...what the hell is a stunt double?" Man he is the full package, dead sexy and funny to boot.
