[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally know of two people who were in terrible car accidents, but survived because they were not wearing seatbelts. True.

But try pinning that statistic on any sort of policy or even psa to discourage folks from wearing seatbelts.

Why? Because the exception isn't the rule.

and people should have common sense.   Using a seat belt is the smart thing to do.

The chance that I would stop a violent attack with my gun versus the chance that I would kill myself, or accidentally hurt someone else.   It is just idiocy to think that a gun reduces violence.

Rivara and his team discovered that having a gun in the home is associated with a threefold increase in the risk of a homicide — they released this information in a series of peer-reviewed articles that appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine. The CDC both funded Rivara’s original research and stood by the findings.[/i]

So congress has stopped CDC from doing research on gun violence.

Gun Lobby is so scared of the results that their pawns have outlawed common sense research.

A bunch of scared impotent cowards is the NRA.[/quote]

Strong words from a little lib. Listen I know you don't like facts unless they are spoon fed to you by michael Moore, but you're wrong.

Since 2007, the number of concealed handgun permits has soared from 4.6 million to over 12.8 million, and murder rates have fallen from 5.6 killings per 100,000 people to just 4.2, about a 25 percent drop, according to the report from the Crime Prevention Research Center.[/quote]

Concealed carry permits are a small fraction of gun owners.

The murder rate started declining eighteen years after roe v wade. [/quote]
