The gunners here on DU keep reminding me that hammers kill more people

And for concealed carry I've got one of these!

Just call me Mini Thor . . .

But as bullets are 'nails', death by nail includes hammers and guns.

Original intent invented guns as killing tools. They do not get the 'hammers' exemption.

guns and certain other personal attributes aren't related. And that size doesn't matter. That's why I selected the concealed carry hammer I did. That concealed carry hammer is just a effective as . . . well, never mind.

That’s a valid comparison.

A bag of them is smarter than a MAGA gun nut too.
Another valid comparison.

not lately. Usually by the same people who tell me that AR-15s aren't a problem because handguns kill more people. The thread usually dies when I agree and suggest we ban all hand guns . . .

Has the 'truth about guns' changed?

And yeah, I know all about Sandy Hook, but we're still safer than all the pro-gun states. And I'll live here in CT and gladly pay my
taxes to live safer and healthier lives. OR JUST TO LIVE AT ALL, for god's sake! Those people make me sick
