Gun facts: quelling the misconceptions

[RolandtheHeadless]

Hmm, I wonder why the US military doesn't go back to single-shot muzzle-loaders?

They didn't have computers, the internet, and forums like this one 250 years ago, either. The internet allows speech to be broadcast all over the world, as opposed to the hand-written letters and rare printing presses of that time. Broadly disseminated, unregulated speech via the internet is far more potentially dangerous; look at the terrorist sites with their bomb-making instructions.

So I guess we should revisit the First Amendment (free speech) also.

Sure it is.

The only bombs going off in America that I can remember in recent history was the Twin Tower bombings, the Atlanta Olympic bombings, the Oklahoma City bombing and the Boston Marathon bombing. And that is over a span of 20 years and three of the four occurred before the internet had really taken root. Less than 200 deaths, with 168 of them happening at Oklahoma City alone. Next highest death toll was 6 at the WTC. 3 in Boston and 2 at Atlanta not counting the heart attack death. And not to make light of those injured but it gets old digging up facts for you to ignore.

Meanwhile, a rough average of 12,000 are murdered by use of guns in America every single year!

And that is not including accidents.

Now I may have missed a bombing or two, but no way the number of deaths per year can compare with 12, 000. And the reasons are obvious and I have stated them many times. People just don't fool with bombs as easy as they fool with guns, particularly as they don't have to make their own guns but just buy them at Walmart.

I have made claims about your motives for all this turning of a blind eye to stark and obvious facts, and I feel no need to repeat the possibilities. But it sure would be nice if you would admit the ones that apply to yourself cause its horribly obvious that you have wool pulled over your eyes and its old, man...real old.
