Groom shoots bride dead.....

[Jogeephus]

Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year—or about 6,850 times a day. This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives

Accidental Deaths yearly (six causes)

Falls 13,322
Poison (solid, liquid) 12,757
Choking on food or other object 4,313
Drowning 3,402
Fires, flames 3,377
Firearms 776

Looks pretty clear to me. We need to pass a law making it illegal to fall or drink poison.

Right, and dihydrogen monoxide is a lot more deadly than firearms. Need to get rid of it...
I think there is more to the story, like Hsire said insurance or alcohol.

Yeah or maybe she just needed killing. ;-) :lol2:

Pretty interesting numbers user1. Not likely to see information like that very often in the media though.

Well raised children could cut those numbers drastically. Easier to make more laws and create more government.

User 1 your numbers are wrong....Right wing BS...sort of like weapons of mass destruction...

Angus limm x you should not be so pointed with your questions, you might not like what you hear......

These figures were taken from the National Safety Council, Injury Facts: 2003 Edition, at 10, 19-20, 129.
So my figures are a fact , instead of leftwing bs propaganda drivel.

Need anymore, I can always get more



As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse. Kleck and Gertz, "Armed Resistance to Crime," at 185

74% of felons polled agreed that "one reason burglars avoid houses when people are at home is that they fear being shot during the crime." U.S., Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice, "The Armed Criminal in America: A Survey of Incarcerated Felons," Research Report

Even anti-gun Clinton researchers conceded that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self-defense. According to the Clinton Justice Department, there are as many as 1.5 million cases of self-defense with a firearm every year. The National Institute of Justice published this figure in 1997 as part of "Guns in America"—a study which was authored by noted anti-gun criminologists Philip Cook and Jens Ludwig.

Need any more................

Seems like user 1 pretty well nailed that one down.

Guess you are right on that one. Drivel so far.

I think the point is that the man (supposedly) did not identify his target before shooting. He shot at a sound. That is contrary to everything I was taught.. Man in Austin shot a burgler who was trying to kick in a locked door. Man is really shook up,burgler will to steal another day.

Are you saying he wasn't using enough gun?

I missed a word: "burgler will LIVE to steal another day"
Homeowner had a little ol' pistol sted of a shotgun.. There something about a shotgun being cocked that causes thugs to vanish.. Magic?
