I'm going to put my foot in your mouth when you visit... whoops, wrong chat. :wub:
We should ban all cars. Or only limit them to 5 gallon gas tanks and 10 mph.

I'm sorry , I just don't believe that more guns is the answer to less gun violence. Im not an anti gun nut, nor am I a card carrying NRA member. Both sides have their arguments. Jay said numbers don't lie, but they aren't black and white either they can be spun in favor of either side.
That is all I am going to post on the matter , I like most of the people here and don't go down that worm hole.

"And statistics can be skewed to support whatever argument you want. Examples"
Reading comprehension. First point- I said statistics can be used to prove anything which was my admission of cherry picking. So big thumbs up on reading comprehension.
Second point. Again I said statistics can be used to back up any viewpoint. I randomly chose some. I didn't make any deeper remarks on the fact that concealed carriers in Texas occasionally threaten people illegally with their guns. Infer whatever you want. I don't really care.
As for the suicide bullet. Another big thumbs up on reading comprehension "reducing firearm suicides by 74 percent without affecting non-firearm suicides." translation suicides by firearms went down without other types of suicides increasing meaning people didn't successfully find another way as you imply. Maybe they tried and failed? Certainly possible. Suicide attempts with guns are far more successful than other common methods (Cutting, Overdosing, ETC).
Anyway. Playing devils advocate has been fun. I'm not actually all that passionate about the gun debate because I don't think its a problem with a solution that's as easily solved as the left or right thinks it is. I do find a lot of the right's arguments ridiculous though.
I am curious as to your thoughts on evolution and what happens to you after you die.

What percentage of car deaths are intentional vs accidental? What percentage of gun deaths are accidental vs intentional?
I'll answer it.
99.4% of car deaths were accidents in 2013
1.8% of gun deaths were accidental. (Something like 65% were suicide)

It varies, some say 500 miles of stop and go, others say 1000.
I went WOT after ~400 miles of city driving. I'm over 15k miles on my clutch with no problems.

Thanks mang. After messing up horribly my freshman year first semester I've taken it very seriously. Got my GPA back up to a 3.5 which is the best I've ever done in school. I used to do that stuff in high school tho.
