for the record (re: guns thread)

It would prove my claim of all or nothing, so to speak, wrong. However, if there are 40 incidents a year, do you think that justifies reducing the militia's arsenal down to only hunting rifles and muskets? You seem to want to chop down the whole damn tree just to get rid of the couple branches weighing on the power lines.Also, statistics for involuntary manslaughter by other means than just guns would also be helpful in proving that the easy access to these guns is really behind it all. I mean, maybe guns are the least frequently used weapon for such circumstances.However, seeing as how you cannot produce even your original statistics, I doubt you will be able to produce those.JonEdited by Jon, : No reason given.Edited by Jon, : No reason given.

Errm... as has been discussed in other parts of these two threads, the whole purpose of the 2nd Amendment was so that people wouldn't have to wait for their government to provide them with weapons before they go to deffending their homes. Do you know how remote some of the border areas are? Not everyone lives down the street from an armoury. No, you said you couldn't find the exact place. Angla also said he couldn't find the stats you were talking about. So far, no one can locate exactly where your information is coming from, unless you did provide a link somewhere back that I missed. I'll go check.Jon
