‘CDC: More Children Killed by Fire, Drowning Than by Firearms
According to the 2010 Death and Mortality numbers released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more children under the age of ten are unintentionally killed in fire or water-related incidents than are killed in accidental gun deaths.
Gun scholar John Lott pulled together various CDC tables showing that thirty-six children under the age of ten were killed in firearm-related accidents in 2010.
The number of children under the age of ten killed in “unintentional fire/burn deaths” was 262, and the number killed in “unintentional drowning” incidents was 609…’
Ban fire and water. Register all barbecues and garden hoses.

    The numbers would be considerably more favorable in Australia. Regardless, the gun owners of this nation are whipped dogs. Their “don’t rock the boat” mentality is detestably ingrained in their psyche. So mny call our gun laws “stupid and unfair” yet they still chant the mantra “law abiding gun owner” as though it’s a badge of fucking honor.

    I’m a Libertarian. The “gun owner” part is incidental to being a man and not a fucking dog, and in no way is it beholden to being “law abiding”, but you can’t talk like that to most of the peasants down at the pistol range or the shooting forums. :roll:

      First, well said on the current topic. Second, I now understand where you are coming from on your previous post in an unrelated topic. The truth of the matter is that the “right” has always only existed within the heart and mind of the individual. The principles of Jefferson, Madison, and Washington either find a home there or they do not. The American Constitution enshrines these ideas by limiting the prerogatives of government. Like the founders, I do not trust the government. I instead recognize it as a necessary evil, and the less power that it has the better, but I also realize that some power is a necessity for it to do it’s job. Had I been around, I likely would have supported the Articles of Confederation and would have been wary of the Federal, like so many of the founders as I believe that the ultimate defender of liberty is the individual and not the government.

      Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me. It is much appreciated.

      *Keith – I apologize for the off topic comment, but the comment feature was unavailable to me on the correct topic, and I believed it to be of importance.

        No need at all to apologize, William.

        Cheers, mate.

        Government small and humble enough is like a mild cold. It has a minimal effect on your lifestyle but it keeps your immune system on the boil, so it’s existence is defensible.

        Unfortunately the bastard has a tendency to mutate and murder the host.

        I forget (and can’t seem to find) which founder said it, but he gave his fellows a warning at the Constitutional Convention to the effect of “if we dally here too long the people of this land may realise that they don’t need us at all.”

    My State went open carry without a license.All manner of bloodshed and ills were predicted to occur should that happen and not a single one did.Infact as I predicted the violent crime rate fell yet again.

    I was in the local Supermarket the otherday and spotted a young lady with a Glock compact .40 on her hip.Nice gun on a nice hip :grin: and nobody was even batting an eye.

    My attitude towards gun ownership has evolved to the point where I believe Guns and Ammo can should be sold inbetween the candy bars and tabloid mags in the Checkout line at Walmart.More guns will only reduce crime and make society more polite.

      Wish there were more women like her, that’s what the west needs, more women to understand the true price of freedom and what really ensures it. The rest would easily fall into place.

      Instead, thanks to lefties we have a world where more women than not think that freedom stops at the right to kill off your unborn and trying to be like an oaf.

        To right,we need more women that have the attitude and spine of those that came before them.There were no second chances on the sailing ships that brought then to the new lands they were to call home and reality was all to clear in the early settlements and frontier.

        There is hope,I see more and more women and girls at the local shooting ranges and they aren’t there learning needle point.

      That reminds me that as a teenager my wife belonged to a rifle club and sometimes competed with Marines from a nearby base in target shooting. More often than not she beat them. Her father, then about 50 and a former armourer, would also compete against them whereby you would run and shoot, run and shoot, over several stages (sorry, don’t know the technical term for that form of competition). The final score involved both time and accuracy. Invariably, he and other “oldies” would beat the Marines by pacing themselves then shooting prone with a slow heart-rate, ensuring high accuracy. The Marines, of course, ran like fury and then couldn’t hit a barn door. Hare and turtle stuff I guess, although decades of shooting experience probably helped.

        One of the things I remember from pistol shooting in the military (during the “kick down the door and shoot the baddies, but please don’t shoot the hostages” phase of training) was that you always have more time than you think to get off the shots.

    If someone were to show lefties how you can defend yourself with a barbie or a garden hose, that’ll be the day they’ll call for control on them, at the very least some sort of tax on them. That’s the point of gun control, the control bit.

    This is really worth reading, it starts a bit slow but soon gets into the meat of things:-

      From the link:
      ‘..So in the year 2013, in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we stand with our eyes averted, burning with humiliation, while our spouses or children are groped above and below the waist by blue-gloved government prison guards—only we are in an airport in a free country, and not in a prison!

      Or are we? A virtual open-air prison, where government security agents can pat down ordinary citizens at will is the accepted “new normal.” Did that happen often in East Germany, I wonder? In the Soviet Union? Does it happen today in Cuba? Officially sanctioned crotch groping in the name of “security?”…’

      How far has the Republic fallen..and in so short a time.

        Maybe they need to rethink the ‘land of the brave’ bit as well. :roll:

          I can’t tell you the cold reception I get when a Yank admonishes us Aussies for “giving up our guns” when I reply, “I’ll remember that when I don’t have to watch my children being molested at the airport.”

          It never goes down well, but I’m sure it gets the point across. :|
