114,650,000 people dead from being disarmed by their government and having a different opinion from that government.
1.16 million people per year for the past 99 years.
Compared to 18,252 homicides per year from guns; I think we're better off with keeping the guns.
but, but...they have f16's and nukes...panzer guy
ReplyDeleteI think some of your numbers are a little light... Mao was responsible for more like 80+ million dead. And there isn't a lot of reason to believe that if guns were banned in the US that there would be 18k fewer murders per year. Probably a lot of those would just be accomplished by another means... And even in countries with virtual 100% gun bans somehow criminals still get them. It isn't like they can easily be un-invented, and the government could never round them all up. And the government doesn't always do a great job of keeping tracks of the ones it has either. -swj
