other figures - 93 deaths per day in USA due to car accidents, perhaps we should ban cars first?
Cars are also the #1 killer in Australia, how often do you see people driving dangerously - every day, peak hour, hundreds of onlookers, no shame, so lets legislate that only low powered electric cars be permitted on the road capable of driving no faster than 30km/h in case some twit decides to plough into a crowded bus stop. Lets deal with the biggest killers / threat first, then work our way down the list to guns.
Knives are ahead of guns on the list of weapons used to kill people both in USA and Australia, people just view guns as evil, probably because the only real experience they have with them is seeing them be used to kill people on TV. never mind the hundreds of thousands of registered firearms already in Australia in the hands of licensed owners that you never even know about - your brain has been programmed through repeated exposure to only know about the illegal ones that are used in crime on the news (um you need a car to perform a drive by) or those used to kill people in the movies.
