This murder was a horrible thing.
The fact that a firearm was used reinforces the fact that irresponsible use of many things can cause death
Propane tanks
nailguns
circular saws
automobiles
Four nice solid examples of things that are mis-used and cause death
Let's take the car example for a minute. Compare the deaths per year from automobile accidents and the number of deaths per year from firearms
Where's the outrage and the lobby for banning the automobile?
In the year 2000, almost 4800 pedestrians were killed by automobiles
There were nearly 42000 deaths on US highways that year
In 2007, there were less than 1000 fatal shootings in the USA
The facts are clear:
Firearms are much safer than the US highway system. Ban Automobiles Now.
