While motor-vehicle deaths dropped 22 percent from 2005 to 2010, gun fatalities are rising again after a low point in 2000, according to the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Shooting deaths in 2015 will probably rise to almost 33,000, and those related to autos will decline to about 32,000, based on the 10-year average trend.

A person can find anything to support his or her view so take what is said with a grain of salt. Remember the old saying……….figures don’t lie….only liars figure.

I was thinking it would be congress cutting SS again and doubling the number of government employees. So it would be the end of my savings

Who’d a thunk it? The moral absolutist trolls all become wishy washy relativists when it suits their purposes.

America has 5% of the world’s population yet owns 50% of the guns. Makes a mockery of the saying “America, Home of the Brave”. More like America, Home of the cowardly conservative gun nuts like ConserveGov.

Calling posters names again?
Yeah, that’s a substantive rational response…

That was a description, not a name.

Guess what, so had the population of the United States. More people, more problems in general, so what. Why not try relaxing and enjoy life, it certainly works for me, and I am not even close to being wealthy.
Besides, being retired and also on social security (even also supporting my laid off son-in-law and his family) I have the great privilege of taking your FICA tax dollars for my enjoyment!
Heh!, Heh, Heh!
I used to fight this notion, but have decided it might be better to taunt such notions instead.
After all, it was one of the ultra conservatives here that called me a troll on another comic, glad to serve!!

Mayans. Oh yeah. Weren’t they the people who would run you up the steps of their temple, cut your still beating heart out, and then feast on your carcass?
The Mayans used sacrifice, but what you’re describing is specifically Aztec. Still, it’s child’s play in comparison to what was done in the name of the Church.
