Funny that you chose to reply to the one post that did not address your statements point by point.

"Is it an NRA talking point when I say that "far more children are killed in auto accidents_then by guns."

It's an NRA talking point and straw man argument

"guns don't kill people un-aided by some one who pulls the trigger."

yes this is an NRA talking point


Do SUV's kill people? Or is it the drunk who is behind the wheel?

This is one of the NRA's dumber talking points. Guns when used for the purpose designed kill people SUVs when used for the purpose designed do not

Do gun's kill people? Or is it the mentally ill person who pulls the trigger?
The bullet fired from the gun killed the person

"I feel we are missing the cause of the problem when we blame an inanimate object for the actions of the person wheedling it. "

Your feeling is wrong. Without the inanimate object in question no one would be shot.

The guns and the bullets are to blame. period. end of story.

Take your NRA talking points somewhere else

MOre NRA talking points. No wonder your post was hidden.

We have laws against drunk driving and unless you can prove otherwise, they have done well at reducing the number of deaths behind the wheel.

Enjoy your stay.

Up front, I oppose guns and I am one of those people who is disgusted by the comments you made.

Secondly, how anyone, gun-owner or not, can argue against gun control after losing those 20 children, as well as all the children who have died before and since, is beyond me.

You people put your guns above humanity. The automatic weaponry should never have been allowed to be owned by the public. Now, you see the result.

The NRA has become a terrorist organization, in my mind. I don't care if you agree or disagree. I hope it is dismantled for the mess it has made of our country.

BTW, I asked to be dismissed from the jury on your flag. Why? Because there wasn't enough room to express my disgust.
