And its even easier to run them over with a car, yet I don't hear you clamoring to ban automobiles. In 2009, automobile related fatalities accounted for 11.1 deaths per 100,000 people - http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main/index.aspx . What do you propose we do about that? Surely if the death rate from fire arms alarms you, the death rate from automobiles should be equally alarming. > > The idea that increased gun related suicides is a measure of increased gun > ownership in a state is not my creation.
