One more reason why guns laws won't do anything without more information on what exactly they hope to achieve by passing them. I personally enjoy living in a city that bans knives and guns. I find it comforting to know that it's not likely for someone I pass to have a gun. I also can't go a single day without passing a dozen cops. However, there is plenty of data telling us there isn't enough data to make arguments o…

What city do you live in? I thought Chicago was the toughest city for knife laws and a blade under 2 inches is still legal there. Who took Chicago's crown? UPDATED: I did a little research and it seems that Pell City, Alabama has taken Chicago's crown: Sec. 13-25. - Weapons — Carrying off of one's premises.

Your whole premise is false: keeping and bearing arms is much safer than driving cars. I can go into details as to why I believe that's the case, but to start with, whenever I walk outside the door I put my carry gun into a holster, and then never take it out until I return home. So it's just sitting there on my hip under my shirt or vest, not much of a danger to anyone as long as I keep it away from an MRI machine's…

I think you might be arguing against something that I didn't actually say. The operative words in "concealed carry license" and "hunting license" is "license", which was exactly my point. The number of printing press deaths in the US, and likely worldwide is probably quite small.

A "hunting license" gives you the ability to take an animal, not to own a firearm. And in most states (outside of the most infringing states -- my home state of NY is a great example), a Conceal Carry license is "how" you can carry a handgun on your person - and not the ability to own one.

Heh, so out of the millions of policemen and militants in the world, that protect the billions out there, you found a handful that have gone bad. Sure, let's let anyone kill anyone then! Moral reasoning! Heh, I'm you advice, kid.

60 fatal gun accidents per day? Way way off. It's measured in the low hundreds per year, not around 21,000 annual. Cars however...30,000ish accidental per year. (USA numbers)

Wrong. Do more more research.
