Animal attacks, malnutrition, etc.
More people are killed everyday by: Knives, forks, broken glass bottles, rocks, baseball bats and similar things than by guns.
Drunk driving and even worse yet, texting and driving are very dangerous and they both kill more people than guns every day. Why aren't people complaining about rocks, baseball bats and texting while driving as much as they complain about guns? Those things pose a much bigger problem!
Also, video games don't kill people. Violent movies don't kill people either. They also don't encourage people to kill people. Psychotic people are responsible for their own actions.
There is no such thing as an "Assault Rifle". The term doesn't make sense.
Assault is a threat.
Battery is an act.
If you tell someone you are going to punch or shoot them, that is assault. Also, if you shake your fist at someone or point a gun at them, even if the gun only holds one bullet or a realistic looking toy gun, it is still legally considered: Assault!
If you carry out the threat and either punch or shoot someone, that is legally considered: Battery.
You can shoot the same amount of people with a pump action shotgun as you can with a semi automatic AK-47.
Guns are not the problem! The problems are the people who own the guns. Or people who have mental problems and shouldn't have a gun, but, they steal one.
Another big problem is bullies, kids that have bad parents and bad Teachers. Or even grown adults that have problems with other people. It's been proven time and time again that kids under 18 are not always the problem. Half the time it's adults committing crimes!
Hitler, Manson, Hussein, Bin Laden, Capone, Bonnie and Clyde and Bundy just to name a few.
A lot of shootings are gang related.
Most murders are not planned out. They are committed in the heat of the moment. Two people arguing, one gets mad enough at the other person, he grabs a pool stick, hits the other person then stabs him in the head with a pencil! (This is Second Degree Murder, not First Degree Murder.)
Most murders are drug and alcohol related.
You cannot take away people's right to own guns or drink alcohol. Those are both protected by the Constitution.
The 2nd Amendment gives people the right to own a gun.
21st Amendment gives people the right to drink alcohol.
Changing the laws on guns, banning certain types of guns, taking peoples guns away and all that is not solving the problem! Every time someone gets shot, people complain and tell the government to ban more types of guns and pass more gun laws. Then people go out in the street and protest against guns. PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN: NONE OF THAT WORKS TO STOP PEOPLE FROM SHOOTING OTHER PEOPLE!
GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE! PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!
A gun is just a tool. It takes a person to fire a gun. If you set a wrench on the hood of a car, it will not get up on its own and fix the car. Same concept with a gun.
I was in the Army and I've been to Iraq and I've never seen a gun get up on its own and shoot someone! That's physically impossible!
My point is: Guns are not the problem at all! Humans are the problem!
