Gun Control & RKBA

tortoise: allowing for 1/2 the gun deaths to be murder, we arrive at 3.75 million events divided by 80 million gun owners = 4.7%. Since I gave you a break last time, I'll do it again and call it 5%. Once again applying the 10% factor to account for illegal shootings, we come up with 0.5%.

You are getting more & more absurd. Why do you eliminate 90% of the shootings? beevul clearly is including the criminal element in his signature line, since he is saying to focus on the 0.1% who misuse guns: '99.9 percent of gun owners do not shoot or kill anyone. Focus on the .1 percent who misuse guns, and leave the rest of us who don't, and our guns, the hell alone. Member of the 99.9 percent.

What beevul is doing is claiming that the 0.1% who kill or shoot anyone, IS LARGELY THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT, aka illegal shootings. Geez, hope you don't go apoplectic, if you do, lie down & elevate your legs.

tortoise: The last time I looked, the CDC said that about twice as many Americans are wounded every year by guns as are killed.

The wounded figures are closer to 8 times higher than the number of homicides, which would be the appropriate comparison to 'battle'. Odd that 8x tends to hold true, +/- one or two.

tort: So basically your face is the only one that needs saving - AGAIN - Jimmy the Zero

No, jimmy the one with a clean face. You however, should wash yours.
