11000 killed by guns last year. not that many by knives


Making up numbers as we go along? There were 9,369.

aw, gee. the numbers are highly variable. they've been as high as
17,000 in the last 20 years. and as low as around 10,000


Most murders? South Africa. They have gun control - competency laws.


tell you what. when the US becomes a 3rd world country you let me
know.

People with common sense and a sense of history realize why
prohibition failed.... this is no different.....


yeah. the US isn't a 3rd world country. although the NRA is trying
hard...
