How Many People Are Killed By Guns Each Year?

Post by **ADF-Dave** » Sun Feb 20, 2011 2:47 pm

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.
