The culture of violence within the inner cities would be a far better concern.

The gun..... is the anti gun nuts scapegoat to avoid the real issue.

There are many problems, 393,000,000 guns on the street makes them all that much worse.

Guns can't hurt anyone.

You failed.

Address the culture of violence, and you just might have something to go on.

Not really, because over all most people with guns in our country don't have these issues(Hint)

Say what ever you like, but you are the ignorant one concerning the issue here.

There could be a 10 billion guns in the USA

The shootings would still be where they are now.

Evidence suggest otherwise.

See curve. See curve go up?

Feel free to find some proof that it does not.

And when planes crash, victims sue them and win. Obviously, the baby wasn't the target. Are you saying the gun wasn't used for the task it was designed for?

They sue the people responsible, which is almost always the airline company, not the manufacturer of the plane.

The task the gun was used for was not, obviously. It was designed to fire a projectile that hits an intended target. It did not. But not due to a design failure...

Which means the product is being used for the purpose for which it was designed.

Right. So, by the OPs logic, people should be able to sue the airplane manufacturer.

At least try being honest enough to credit your graph and provide a link.

But, I know that would require a little honesty on your part.


There were fewer guns in 1991 and more guns now.

The murder rate isn't any higher than it was back then.

why did gun deaths go down during the period from 1993-2018-the period that saw the most firearms bought in US history

gun banners want to harass gun owners and gun makers as much as they can. Ask any gun banner to justify suits against say Bushmaster when one of their guns-which was sold pursuant compliance with all federal, state and local laws-was stolen and used to kill people.

Boeing isn't being sued for the Max37? They are. You are incorrect regarding the gun design. Hitting an intended target requires user action, and does not involve design.
