Title: Statistics Post by justin_o_guy2 on 02/26/18 at 14:28:21 n’t: There are 126 million households in the United States. In 35 percent of those households — some 44 million — there is a gun. There is an average of 2.8 people per household, according to the Census Bureau. This means that something like 120 million people in this country live with at least one gun in their homes. In 2013, 107,000 crimes in the United States were committed with a gun. There are 330 million people in the United States. If we assume every one of those crimes was the work of a different individual, then .03 percent of all those who live with a gun in the United States used that gun in the commission of a crime. 0 That’s not 3 percent. That’s not one-third of a percent. That’s three-hundredths of a percent. There are approximately 120,000 schools in the United States. If we use the term “school shooting” in the most capacious way, there have been 145 incidents since 2010. That means .12 percent of all schools in the United States have suffered the horror of a school shooting. |

Title: Re: Statistics Post by Serowbot on 02/26/18 at 14:34:53 The problem as I see it is,... the founders thought of guns as defenders of our freedom... gun nuts think guns are the freedom... They're just things... possessions... and mostly, if you're honest about it,... toys... Toys for grown-up men... Not worth all the dying... |

Not as quickly, but both have a much greater propensity, to destroy a much greater number of lives, overall. Are we factoring in shear numbers, or selectively targeted numbers to advance a agenda? On second thought, yeah, someone driving home from drinking in a bar, in the afternoon, could be stashing his beer between his legs, so he can light up another cigarette, and run smack into a school bus, carrying the children home from school. Its a possibility, just like any other, possibility.... I still wish we would focus on the greater health issue, to ALL, with the same sensationalism. Tobacco and alcohol causes much greater damage, and THAT'S what we can document. I AM NOT asking for its banning of use, no, just greatly putting forth more conscious effort, into the realities of the damage they MIGHT, bring to its users. If you can argue against that, I would love to entertain it. |
