A (DU) minority view on guns.

[quakerboy]

151. Its a people with guns problem.

Its not unique to one or the other solo.

Take the people out of the equation, all you have is inanimate metal.
Take the guns out of the equation, and you have some angry people who may or may not do anything, and if they do, won't do it as badly or to as many people.

As to your specific points... The hypocrisy of it is a bit stunning. "some are using this tragedy to push a political agenda while the bodies of the victims are still warm".. That is exactly what you are doing in your post, as far as I can tell. This is my first post on this topic. Im gonna try to make it my last.

One questions in return for your two:

What percentage on non gun owners in the US commit gun Homicide, of the single or mass types?

I think you should take your answers a step further, if you want to be complete and consistant... What percentage of illegal gun owners commit gun homicides, mass or otherwise? I suspect even your average illegal gun owner is not "out to way waste to society".
Then you could reasonably take it even further yet. What percentage of drunken drivers kill people with their cars? Seems like most people who go out drinking are also not out to lay waste to society.

I'm not saying you are an NRA shill. Shills get paid for their efforts, I believe. That doesn't mean you are right, or that your opinion is fact based nor that it is in the best interests of our nation.
