Law-Abiding Citizens Have More Than 600 Million Firearms in America

33,000 gun deaths a year. That's not a problem?

No. You can't stop people from killing each other. If you really wanted to help it, you should push your party to stop it's assault on the common man in favor of the corporations. Desperate people do desperate things. Give people a reason to flourish and they'll flourish. Beat them down until they lose hope, and they'll lash out at what they perceive as the reason for their misery.

Nope. You can just make it way easier to kill people. But let's not split hairs here.

It isn't hard to kill someone with a knife, comrade. What are you going to do, ban all guns? The more you ban guns, the tougher you make it for the weaker members of society to defend themselves. There's a reason for the quote:

God created men and Sam Colt made them equal.

A 1000 rounds is a few hundred bucks. Let's say $300 for math's sake, which works out to 30 cents per round. 25 trillion times .3 is 7.5 trillion.

You're right, the number is much lower, but your 30 cents per round is too high also.

The annual revenue of the gun and ammo industry is $13 billion. We need to get to $7.5 trillion. The math doesn't add up.

Don't forget reloads, pennies on the dollar.

33,000 gun deaths a year. That's not a problem?

2/3 of these deaths are suicide. Take the gun away and they just hang themselves instead. You'd be crying about rope violence then.

Ah, the old knife vs gun argument. You know you're losing when you trot this out.
 
When have I said the original claim was wrong? While the math is wrong and obviously a hyperbole, the premise is spot on. And you still don't know shit about guns and ammo.
Except for the 33,000 deaths each year. But yeah. Beyond the super bad math and ignoring of the thousands of deaths caused each year by guns, the meme is spot on.

Like the fact that you used "gun deaths" instead of "illegal gun deaths?" Just like you refrain from commenting on where most of those illegal gun deaths come from and who is responsible? Don't try to pretend that you aren't trying to manipulate the numbers for your own benefit, comrade.

That's all you have, the number 33k. Of course, that's a number that you're manipulating to make it look worse than it really is. You've been called out a few times in this thread for it now.

Legal gun deaths?

I have that and a calculator.
 
Agreed. Cars are one of the most dangerous forms of transportation. Wish we could use trains instead. If only one specific party wasn't getting in the way of that...
Yet one is a right. One is a privilege.
 
259 of them in 2012. Yep, you're doing great

You don't even get it. You're trying to take this 33k number and make it sound like these were all violent crimes committed, and if we just banned guns, we could save 33k deaths a year.

Does your 'study' talk about the chances of one legal gun death saving five illegal gun deaths? I doubt it. It's a propaganda fluff piece used to get gullible people like you to hand over their rights.

5 deaths? Some 12,000 non suicide deaths happen every year. It would have to be closer to 50 illegal gun deaths.

You know, there's probably a calculator on your phone. You won't blow up if you use it.

It's a lot more than that according to the FBI's numbers.
