Guns Don't kill people..

[Hangtime]

Oh horse crap we all know that guns do kill people...the democrats told us so. Guns can walk around and shoot at whoever they feel has "dissed" them and they get really pissy here in Birmingham, AL. So much so that guns alone have killed around 50 people so far this year in Birmingham, AL.

BTW here is the crime data comparing Birmingham, AL vs NY City for 2006. Note the differences in population and the crime rate on murders per 100,000 people. Now this doesn't happen in 99% of the greater metropolitan area of Birmingham; it is seriously limited to a handful of areas within the Birmingham, AL city itself.

I would like to see that data correlated with rounds expended.

I think, with a bit of encouragement, the ratio's could be improved.

I woud wager that of those 50 people killed in Birmingham none of the guns used were purchased legally by the murderers and in fact that 95% or greater were stolen.

I would not take that wager because I am almost 100% positive that you are correct sir. The word on the street here is whatever you need you can get cheap. Anything from Soviet or Chicom AK's to current US Military M4's, M9's, etc... Lots of corruption in the local city and county government and they "loose" weapons all the time.

The rate would be higher if they didn't hold the guns sideways.

Guns don't kill people, dangerous minorities do.

I don't know Lazs. It all depends on what part of the group you start shooting at and at what point you try to aim at as the car starts the turn onto the street.

I think guns are ok, it's the bullets that hurt. without guns ,think how much time it would take to insert bullets manuelly

oooo c'mon dude.....you have enough things around your shop to build a single shot gun in less than an hour........as do most shops

Guns Kill People Like Spoons are at fault for Rosie O'Donnell getting Fat.    

thing is.....if someone wants to kill people, they're gonna do it somehow. if no guns are available, then they'll just find more effective ways. like explosives.....

guns don't kill people, but Chinese firing squads do.
