I'd also like to point out that a person who claims to be a connoiseur of paper-thin tomato slices yet believes that ginsu knives are worth the paper-thin tomato slices they can allegedly cut cannot be trusted. What is your postition man? Do you believe ginsu knives are truly capable of said feat?

I saw it on TV, so it has to be true. TV wouldn't lie to me, unless it was tuned to CBS.

I'm glad you stopped a rape. But, was is really necesarry to have a gun to do so? I don't have guns, but if i saw some dude attacking a woman, I'd jump on him and beat his ass. I don't need a gun to intervene.
PS- the info in that link is 10 or more years old.

Dudes, not dude.
And thanks, my sister was pretty happy about it too.
So in 10 years you think the accadent ratio went up...or what? I don't really follow that last bit.

No, but i can't rely on old data, nor data that looks unprofessional in manner. Meaning, look at that site. Last update in 1997. C'mon, there has to be more up-to-date accurate data out there. NRA website or what?
Not to be rude or anything, but how did you just happen to be with your sister with a gun when dudes were trying to rape her. sounds like a very strange incident.

Wow. You have got to be kidding me. "Bullets kill people"? LOl. Bullets are part of the gun. They go hand in hand. One is useless without the other.

Again, patently false. Go into a gun store. Purchase a gun. Open the chamber/magazine. Take a picture of it, and post it here. You will have demonstrated that bullets are NOT, in fact, part of the gun. Bullets have to be purchased SEPARATELY from the bullet-delivery system (gun, for short).
They do NOT go hand in hand, they go hand to magazine, and magazine to gun.
You are EXACTLY right that one is useless without the other, but the fact remains that the gun does not do the killing. The bullet is what does the damage that causes death, ergo, the BULLET, Watson, is what kills people.
If Roger Clemens were to throw a bullet at you, he could probably kill you with it, eliminating the need for the gun. The gun would not have killed you, the BULLET would have killed you.
Guns don't kill people, bullets kill people.
Someone get shmokes a bucket, he's got some kind of bug, and bad.

So if i get run over by a car, I guess the tires killed me, not the car or the driver, right? lol

TERRIBLE analogy. The tires are, in fact, a part of the car, unlike the bullet, HOWEVER, the tires can be removed, slid over you and your torso so you couldn't move your arms, have you tossed into a lake, and since you couldn't move your arms, the tires, in fact, would have killed you in that case.
