OK, so we have approximately 12,000 people year dying from guns .. I guess the libs are right. I mean ban the guns and all the children the world over will be safe. In fact getting rid of guns will save so many lives it just makes sense. Ahhhh, as Columbo would say “There’s just one more thing” If the guns are gone then how do you explain this…

China stabbing spree hurts 22 school children.
Knife-wielding man also attacked elderly woman in central Henan province

A knife-wielding man injured 22 children and one adult outside a primary school in central China as students were arriving for classes Friday, police said, the latest in a series of periodic rampage attacks at Chinese schools and kindergartens.
The attack in the Henan province village of Chengping happened shortly before 8 a.m., said a police officer from Guangshan county, where the village is located.
A Guangshan county hospital administrator said the man first attacked an elderly woman, then students, before being subdued by security guards who have been posted across China following a spate of school attacks in recent years. He said there were no deaths among the nine students admitted, although two badly injured children had been transferred to better-equipped hospitals outside the county.
A doctor at Guangshan’s hospital of traditional Chinese medicine said that seven students had been admitted, but that none were seriously injured.
Neither the hospital administrator nor the doctor would give his name.
Children likely between 6-11 years old
It was not clear how old the injured children were, but Chinese primary school pupils are generally 6-11 years old.
A notice posted on the Guangshan county government’s website confirmed the number of injured and said an emergency response team had been set up to investigate the attacks.
No motive was given for the stabbings, which echo a string of similar assaults against schoolchildren in 2010 that killed nearly 20 and wounded more than 50. The most recent such attack took place in August, when a knife-wielding man broke into a middle school in the southern city of Nanchang and stabbed two students before fleeing.
Most of the attackers have been mentally disturbed men involved in personal disputes or unable to adjust to the rapid pace of social change in China, underscoring grave weaknesses in the antiquated Chinese medical system’s ability to diagnose and treat psychiatric illness.
In one of the worst incidents, a man described as an unemployed, middle-aged doctor killed eight children with a knife in March 2010 to vent his anger over a thwarted romantic relationship.

Well right here and now I demand we sign petions and hug a tree and sing Kumbyeffinya and demand they Ban the Automobile (Start with the Dolt). I mean it sounds safer to hand your six year old a loaded revolver, and he has better odd’s. Well it can’t get any worse can it?.
Funny you should ask.

Well last, but not least we have
Now this one is kinda shocking.
In Hospital Deaths from Medical Errors at 195,000 per Year USA
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/11856.php
So we have 195,000 medical and 40,000 Automobile a year which is 235,000.
Then we have 12,000 Gun and 2,000 knife for 14,000.
In conclusion every 16 yrs guns and knives kill the same ammount that Doctors and Automobiles kill in one year. Next time some one wants to talk about gun control may I suggest you do it while your driving them to the hospital.
Me thinks the debate is over.
