Zolgar: Cars, by the way, kill more people that every weapon combined. There are more vehicular deaths every year, not counting DUI related, than their are homicide deaths. There's almost as many DUI related deaths as there are homicide deaths.
Should we ban cars? No..
No, because their primary purpose, unlike that of guns, is not killing living things.

Zolgar: Historically, most of the time when ruling powers sought to disarm their people, it was to ensure their people could not rise up against them because of mistreatment. The present regime may or may not have that mentality.. but nothing saying that the next, or the one after that won't, too.. Which is, of course, the purpose behind the Second Amendment.
You know... There is a name for people who think that a poorly armed group of civilians can be made into a force capable of overthrowing the reign of an oppressive government. They're called "Polish" ;).

Neither!!


Given the current circumstances concerning guns...here is a little something for you to think about...

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.

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

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

Statistics courtesy of FBI

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

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, BUT Almost 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!!!!!

Is it true that your new navy was built with glass bottom boats so that you could see your old navy?

We have a navy :D ?
EDIT: [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Widok_prawej_burty2_ORP_Iskra.JPG]we do.
EDIT #2: I've just found articles from about a year ago where people say we're not gonna have one. Too expensive. We barely have anything as it is, not gonna invest into getting more.

I once shot my grandfather in the ear with a nerf gun. he was watching tv, and i posted over by the other chair, stalking him. when he least expected it, i popped him one, and he got pretty angry so i hightailed it before he could realize who did it. he may have guessed who it was anyways.

I only know one thing - if I owned as many guns as I do video games - that would be dangerous.

Actually bread kills people. Most people who killed other people have consumed bread in their lives. Ban bread!

Yeah, it's true. There is a statistic to prove this.
