The number of Americans who die in terrorist attacks is omparable to the number crushed to death by their televisions. -The Atlantic. (Barack Obama: The next time someone gets smooshed by a TV, the media is going to ask if we did everything possible to prevent it.) (Woman: As you know, Mr. President, we've made Tv's illegal.) (Man: We fire killer robot planes at houses believed to contain TVs.) (We've also built a multi-billion-dollar spy computer that tracks every communication everywhere so we can find any mention of TVs.) (Barack Obama: Cool. So I'll have a good answer.) (Woman: No, sir! You can never admit you did all these wonderful things to keep them safe!) (Man: It'd be immodest.)

Wouldn’t it be the gop blaming him? And pretty sure I read it was toddlers shooting others that was at higher rate, but I guess both is possible.

“Could you show one instance where a gun made an independent decision and shot someone on it’s own?”
Conservative Second-Amendment proponent: “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
Me: “Fast and Furious.”
Conservative Second-Amendment proponent: “Oh, THOSE guns killed people.”
You’re welcome.

“@Radish
The parents of those toddlers did not belong to or take safety classes from the NRA.Could you show one instance where a gun made an independent decision and shot someone on it’s own? People without NRA common sense kill people, not guns."actually a sheriff’s deputy toddler killed with his dad’s gun. guess the deputy wasn’t a member of the NRA or took gun safety seriously.what I find most interesting is that so long as you have a way to rationalize the gun deaths as being caused by “lesser human beings” it seems that you believe they don’t count.sorry to feed the trolls.

Maybe we should outlaw vending machines since more Americans are killed by them each year than by terrorists? But seriously, while I do have problems with the drone program, I would rather use them than send our military on suicide missions, or rely on the Pakistani military to hunt down the terrorists they sponsor.

The phrase “common sense” is overused on all sides, especially in the gun debates. “Common sense” does not mean “thinking exactly like me.” If one’s opinion were common sense, then we’d all think the same way.
Some examples of “common sense” are,Water quenches thirst. Rock hurts head. Fire burns skin.
