    You may as well have produced the " Gin Club " card and told him twice , that Your 1 of his kind & that the spelling is the correct edict of " Gun" albeit in English'.

    Oregon that is just an absolutely crazy statistic isn't it?

    I think it's also true that on an average day 96 Americans are killed by a gun.

    Yet many friends and colleagues of mine in the US are absolutely adamant that their guns keep them safe.

    I'll be honest I love guns. Holding a gun gives you an amazing sense of power. Firing a gun, which I have hundreds or more probably thousands of times, is a thrill.

    But the thought of every one else being able to have one fills me with dread.

    Guns don't kill people, people do. But a lot of people are complete cocks.....

    Correct about 62%.

    Making it the 10 leading cause of death.

    7/10 White males deaths are suicides and most of them with a gun....
