That's fine. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
But please know I won't stoop to your level of anger and insult. It is a sure sign of an angry old man rotting away from the inside with little to say except for an incoherent screed of typo laced silliness.
You should take some p***e in the English language sparky.
It's how Americans speak and correspond.
For the record I am a republican and do not believe in gun control, which renders your rant about liberals moot.
As far as statistics, I like to keep it simple.
30,000 dead by gun every year, with 20,000 of those suicides.
Of the remaining 10,000 deaths, 2,500 were white.
This is public record, easily accessible for you to view.
300 million people. 2,500 gun deaths.
Probability of getting k**led: 0.0000083% or essentially nil.
I also avoid blowing my brains out by suicide, eliminate the potential of "accidental discharge" (500 per year), and don't contribute to the pool of 225,000 guns stolen every year from legal gun owners and avoid the 84,000 people badly injured every year from firearms.
This is also public record and easily viewed.
Those are the statistics.
That is what I base my choice on.

Professor-of-psychology know-it-all, guess you didn't get the memo . . .
I belong to the Constitutional party Republicans and Democrats are almost virtually one and the same on all but a few issues.
If you want to change the law especially, the Second amendment do this by legal method and not by Executive fiat action as Obama is doing.
The liberal agenda on gun-control is doing in this country any favors, and is just polarizing the liberal base and putting fear in the American people to purchase more and more weapons every time Obama speaks . . .
It also does not help to have an administration with a pro-Islamic immigration policy, that does not adhere to vetting of foreign individuals, not controlling the U.S. borders and or expelling foreign nationals that have extended their stay here in America.
Just see how Republicans v**e for in Congress, spineless . . . Neo-cons.
Unfortunately, "You have no skin in America" you said that you no longer live here in the USA.
Your still dictating to Americans how they should live their lives, in respects to weapon-ownership and Gun-Control in this country.
Talking about statistics, your on the same CDC death statistics page as myself, rounding up and down in some areas. (See Image)
As far as homicides 80 % are gang related 20 % are not all white deaths.
And the number is 1,712 is actual CDC total's in a country of 312 million and not 2,500 white homicides per year.
The real tragedy is the senseless cost of injuries by gun violence by criminals and terrorists perpetrated on innocent by-standers. This is caused by criminals, terrorist and psychologically demented people that should have been institutionalized.
But this country the AMA, the APA and the government believes in the self medication preferred method of mental health care.
jasfourth401, You will never control mentally deranged people, criminals and terrorists they will be always be outside the law, constitution and human morality.
So the bubble called life that you surround yourself will some day will have contact with these people, ally do is mitigate your exposure to these three personal elements.
FUBAR comes to mind in a perfect world.
Suicide is also a national and world tragedy and guns it appears to be the preferred method in the United States and world wide.
Gun-Control, is never going to stop the 20,000 weapon suicide or suicide in general, period.
Human self-violence is a personal issue, the weapon is a means to an end.
There are many other ways to commit suicide, weapon suicide is the most sensational and gets the most media headlines attention.
So are you saying that if you owned a weapon that you could take your own life ?
The OPP post article begs to ask the question, "Does America Have A Gun Problem ?
Or is it a world-wide societal psychology mental health problem ?
And what are the solution to gun-violence, suicide, homicides ?
Defiantly it is not in the confiscation of weapon's by our government and by other worldwide governments
That appears to be the issue at hand, human violence and mental illness.
That is the thin-line between the two.
One is overt and the other is introvert.
And can governments stop the violence.
