RC> Unlike their mandate of passenger side airbags - which the most
RC> recent studies show kill 1 child for every 10 adults saved. Can
RC> you imagine the governemt OK'ing pediatric use of a vaccine
RC> that killed one child for every 10 adults saved?
JO> Does gun control keep popping into your head like it does mine
JO> when they talk about this?
RC> In respect to flexible standards, yes.
Incrimentalism at its finest. And you know they will never be
flexible. It's already hard enough to defend your home and family,
now you have to fight a gunlock too. My dad didn't have gunlocks, and
he didn't keep the guns away from us. I was a lot more scared of my
dad than I was of anything else. We didn't have any government-run
1-800-SAV-MY-BUTT numbers to call, cause Daddy's gonna spank me, like
they flash on Oprah these days.
JO> Percentagewise, the deaths are really quite low, but you
JO> wouldn't know it to hear them talk. But airbags? Nah, that's
JO> "different"...
RC> Given Kleck's figures and those of National Safety Council,
RC> there's approximately one child handgun death for every 3,000
RC> lives saved. Compare that to the 10:1 ratio of airbags. Why are
RC> airbags then a tool to be kept, but handguns a "deadly" threat
RC> to be disposed of?
Amazing, isn't it? I get so furious at those lying ads where they
say 20 kids die of gunshots a day...yeah, right!
But then, who'd have thought a 50 year old politician could carry on
a disgusting adulterous affair with a 21 year old and most people
would say SHE was the culprit?
I worry about this country and where it's heading. It's getting
awfully warm around here, and it's not coming from El Nino!
... What was Clinton's excuse this time? "I didn't impale"
