Originally posted by kittenOFchaos View PostWell, according to the NRA about 15% of firearms in private hands are semi-automatic rifles (They just say semi-automatic, but I think if it included pistols and shotguns it would be much higher than 15%).Originally posted by kittenOFchaos View Post
According to the FBI, rifles account for about 5% of firearm homicides. And that count for rifles includes all rifles, not just the semi-autos.
So, what's your point? That 15% of the guns cause 5% of the deaths?John Brown did nothing wrong.Comment

Considering handgun bans are unconstitutional, I'm not sure what any gun control measure that cannot legally restrict the gun that is used in nearly 95% of homicides would hope to achieve.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

And if you can't dodge handgun bullets, you deserve to be shot.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

It's proof that a specific individual civilian who was trained as a security guard and had his gun card and was with kids so didn't want to draw fire or miss and wound someone downrange wasn't a moron in that particular situation.

Remember that there was an armed police officer at Columbine High School the day of the massacre. The two attackers overwhelmed him and forced him to retreat. Maybe if he had had a grenade launcher....."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

My honest guess is it would be very low. I would think handguns were used in most homicides.Originally posted by kittenOFchaos View Post
Indeed so...
In 2005, 8,478 handgun homicides and 2,868 homicides by other guns. Knives accounted for 2,147 homicides. In some years (such as 1998), knives accounted for more homicides than all non-handguns.
The stats bear out the common sense. The vast majority of homicides are not these mass shootings by crazy middle class white young men. Most homicides are street crime and handguns are what criminals use."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
