99. Nope he's not joking

And no - those 30k deaths per year is not a public safety issue. Removing the suicides (which are intentional acts by people who would kill themselves anyway) and the crimes (which are also intentional acts and a criminal issue) and you've got under 1000 genuine accidents which could be considered to fall under "public safety". 1000 accidents in a nation of 310+ million are statistically insignificant. Tragic for those involved certainly, but not even close to the realm of a public safety issue.

Life cannot be made 100% safe 100% of the time. You may not like this fact, but it is a fact. Quite honestly, even if we were to consider the whole 30K number as preventable (it isn't since suicide is utterly unrelated to firearms availability) you're still talking about ~30,000 out of ~310,000,000 or less than 1/100th of 1% of the population. For fuck's sake, we don't even stress over airborne diseases which would affect so few people.

At some point you have to apply cold hard ruthless facts and logic. Simply put ST, people die. They always have, they always will. Crying over 30K people you don't even know (the majority of which did it to themselves mind you) is nothing but crocodile tears to sway the opinions of those with no capacity for critical thought.
