Food for thought ...

It's only good for thought if you have a brain to feed BO and the anti gun lobby certainly lack that

Yeah, good one, BO.

300 deaths by a specific class of gun... 8,583 gun murders for the year though. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it

It's America Box, not here ....don't let it worry ya. Australia's gun laws are adequate it's just the left wing paedophile judges with their soft penalties that are the problem

A lot of those are suicides (I specified gun murders).

I saw that after I posted it ... i think they also had 'justifiable homicides' in there .... over 600 in 2013, as well as gun deaths where the cause was undetermined or unintentional

Some of the "unintentional" ones are good for a laugh (if it's not one of your family getting shot in the heart by their toddler).

I quite liked the one where the toddler pulled the gun out her mums handbag whilst shopping and shot the mother (dead) .... serves her right for leaving a loaded handgun somewhere a toddler can reach, leaving it loaded with one in the chamber and leaving the safety off ...

it's a pity that the child now has to grow up now blaming him/her self for killing his/her mother

Didn't a couple of people accidentally get shot at a gun appreciation rally not long ago
