If you read those statistics, you find that the unintentional shootings numbered 730. Since gun deaths account for .65% of deaths in the United States, 730 is 2% of that .65%. In other words, 2% of .65% is 1.3 × 10 to the -4 power, or 0.00013% of all deaths in America.

For argument's sake, let's say Gary Kleck's numbers are rediculously inflated. The numbers really aren't nearly so big as he says. Subtract a million from that number. So now there are only 1,500,000 uses of firearms to save life and limb. Versus accidents totallying 30,000? Dividing it out, this would mean that there are fifty defensive uses of guns for every one unintentional death. 50:1. I'm sure we could find that just as many accidental deaths occur by automobile versus the number of cars used safely. You didn't answer that argument from my previous post.

||The interpretation of this statistic isn`t simple, and many things are missing. But, subjectively - many of those "self defence" situations aren`t "clear". For example, in many countries incident where shop owner shot dead, say, 20 years old junkie who tried to rob the store - this is not self defence on the court...
Yeah, the clerc had the gun behind the desk and murdered the kid for $100...but is it the right path for the society and for the individual persons?||

I must respectfully ask, how in the world do you know this? What is missing? Which SPECIFIC examples of self defense are not "clear"? What about them makes them unclear?

||Anyway, number of the death from firearms use is scarying high, even for the big country like US - 30 000 dead per year is more then in many wars!||

And our crime rate is the envy of the world.

When I was a kid in school, most fights were bare fist. On special occasions, a knife or two might come out and at worst, you end up with some knife wounds and a bloody mess. To kill someone with a knife, you really have to mean it. You have to roll up your sleeve, get in there down and dirty, and have the persistent to finish the job. Usually, after the first cut and the sight of blood and screams, the knife-holder backs off. But guns are oh so efficient; you don't get a chance to change you mind.

I find the argument of "guns don't kill, people do" to be correct but flawed. Take that logic to the extreme of "WMD's don't kill, people do". No need for war. Just train Iraq on responsible use of WMD instead.

Gar.

-number of deaths (all cases) = 2.448.288 or 100%

-death by accidents (unitentional) = 109.277 or 4,46%

-deaths by firearms = 30.136, or 16.907 suicides, 11.920 homicides, accidents 730, interventions 232+347. This 30.136 deaths from firearms are actually 30.136 / 2.448.288 = 0,0123 or 1,23% of all deaths in USA - NOT 0,65 %!
Then, 730 deadly accidents with arms is 730 / 2.448.288 = 0,0003 or 0,03% of all deaths, NOT 0,00013%! Yes, someone cynical can say that 0,03% is a small number, but we`re talking about 730 dead people too many, or two per day.

-interestingly, death by firearms is 30.136 / 109.277 = 0,2758 or about 27,6% of all various accidents, and homicides 11.920/109.277 = 0,109 or 10,9% of all "accident" deaths, and 11.920 / 2.448.288 = 0,0049 or about 0,5% of all deaths in US!

WMD ? "what good is a secret weapon, if you keep it a secret?"

Off to work, be back later to answer the math question. I note that none of you are giving a response to the logic and reasoning of why we should ban guns but not all of the other objects which can be used constructively, but which also cause far more deaths than guns do. Baseball bats and cars can be used as murder weapons, impliments of suicide, or to cause unintentional injury. Did'ja have an answer for that, Bucko?

However, to answer to the "cars" analogy...this area (traffic) must be covered with various laws - you must have driver exam, a licence, fasten the safety belt, respect the speed limits, no alcohol, and various other regulations. Of course, IMO - similar laws/limitations must exist about possessing, carying, using, etc. of various firearms.
But, I noticed that this is a hot right/left political question in USA, and I can`t be a part of this. I only can say my opinion that I hate to see the statistic where`s more then 30.000 dead from guns ab(use) every year. I live in the town big like that...
