By the way, I am 4 times more likely to die in my car than by a
bullet...where is the outrage about all the car killings?
If you
think the gun lobby is bad try and take away someones car.
At least
with cars there is a test involved to drive one, plenty of restrictions on
where to operate one and what is street legal. With trees, lampposts bollards,
parked vehicles, curbs, walls... there are many places to escape from a car and
it's pretty hard to hide a car under your coat.

It is far to easy to walk into my local walmart, speak to noone, and
buy both
my weapon and some ammunition without speaking a word to
anyone.
Please, make that work differently, so my nutty nephew has to talk to
the
clerk before he purchases anything. And give that clerk the power to say
no,
my nephew is a nut and not do the sale, or make it on layaway
only.
well, no.
Actually, Walmart is required by law to do an
Instant Background Check on you if you want to buy a gun. Just like every other
gun dealer in the country.
Plus there's the whole "the guns are locked up
and require a clerk to unlock the case so you can buy one."
And the "you have
to pull out a credit card or cash and hand it to a clerk, just like any other
purchase" thing.
I find it interesting that you'd let a minimum-wage clerk at
Walmart have a veto on your Constitutional rights - does that apply to things
you post on Groklaw too? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Not by the CDC you
aren't. But all statistics are subject to misinterpretation, and these are
no exception.
Of course,
the latter link also asserts (without support) that firearm suicides would end
up suicides anyway, which itself is open to (considerable) debate. Caveat
Emptor.
