How Many People Are Killed By Guns Each Year?

Post by ADF-Dave »

In Australia: 65

In United States of America: 11,127

It's a obvious question, but what is wrong with this statistic? Gun control?

I've had it with people whining about
'guns kill people,' guns don't kill people, death kills people.
Ask a doctor, it's a medical fact. You can't die from a bullet.
You can die from a cardiac arrest or organ failure or a major
hemorrhage, small piece of metal ain't the problem. Besides, I
only use my machine-gun in the safety of my own home and car. I
ain't hurting nobody. And countries that don't have guns ain't
American."
Lazlow: "Y-you know that's a really good point. Countries that don't
have guns aren't American. You know, if more people had guns,
we'd have less shootings in this country.
Evolution is just so unlikely to produce complex life forms.
