I hope if you read any part of this post, it will be this part, where I apologise for accusations of a "pro-violence" attitude towards any of you. It's a passionate topic, but that was out of line.
Are you kidding? Most americans will take the accusation of "pro-violence" as a compliment. There are tens of millions of americans who are anxiously and joyfully waiting to vote for a president who gives a weekly go-ahead to assassinate nearly random people (including fellow americans). Don't even get me started on america's "pro-torture" stance.

Do you have any support for that assertion?
No, but when Obama shares his secret criteria used for selecting his targets of assassination, I'll make sure I share it with you.
Until then, we'll need to adopt Britney Spears' mindset:

Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens.
Edited by dronester, : completed Britney's incomplete quote

The second, and more general issue, is whether the prevalence of guns in a society increases the number of deaths - by murder, defence or suicide - above what it would have been without that prevalence.
Shouldn't your list also include by "accident". I would guess there are a lot more accidental deaths by guns versus knives or ropes or unlit stairwells. The prevalence of guns would effect that number, yes?
There are about 100-500 child deaths a year due to accidental shootings, yes? Umm, . . . hooray for living in a gun society, . . . hooray, hooray, hooray.
