    Ridiculous thread... Asinine... Micheal Moore pretty much proved in bowling for columbine that guns WEREN'T the problem! WTF movie were you watching? He went to Canada every SOB up there had a gun and they didn't have the problem!

    As to the stats those are BS the majority of SUICIDES in the US are with guns. Take those out of the equation and see what happens! Or maybe add in the suicides via other means from other nations.

    I'm pretty sure micheal moore has never "proved" anything except his willingness to bend the truth for the sake of entertainment.

    He is pretty much the poster boy of bad journalism.

    I don't totally disagree with his conclusions, I just happen to think a bad argument is even worse than no argument.

    accck....what does anyone need a gun for.,.....killing or the threat you can kill?

    Is this the way everyone wants to lead their life?

    Want to kill animals, want to kill humans,......want to kill your girlfriend, .....want to kill your family,...your dog, your child, your wife?

    What the hell do you need a gun for?

    Protection? Get a good dog.

    I don't want to live that way, but the world is not a safe place. As long as there are bad things that threaten good people, good people will need to be able to protect themselves and have a willingness to fight.

    Protection? Get a good dog.

    A dog? What a joke. And besides, what is the moral difference between shooting someone or having you're trained attack dog rip their throat out?

    None.

    Dog vs any handgun in trained hands: Dog= 0, gun= 1

    Dog vs any crossbow in trained hands: Dog= 0, crossbow= 1

    Dog vs any knife in trained hands: Dog= 0, knife= 1

    Dog vs any pepper spray in trained hands: Dog= 0, pepper spray= 1

    Dog vs any weapon at all in trained hands: Dog= 0, weapon= 1

    Dog vs any bare trained hands: Dog= 0, bare trained hands= 1

    BA- Verdict- Dog NOT really that good at protection in real life.

    Michael Moore is an idiot. Bowling for Columbine was way off base.

    Are you kidding? First off, you can't take your dog everywhere. Second, there are FAR more maimings, killings, and injuries caused by dogs every year than Guns. ESPECIALLY children. Ask anyone who works in an ER.

    Gun stats..

    Dog stats

    http://www.dogbitelaw.com/PAGES/statistics.html

    Say there's 105,000 gun injuries in the US every year serious enough to warrant medical attn.

    Know what that stat for dog bites is every year? 800,000, and that's just the ones serious enough for medical attn. Dogs BITE 4.7 MILLION people in the US every year. I say we ban dogs.

    I love dogs. Ban dogs and only outlaws will have dogs. Where will the law abiding, poop scooping citizens be then?

    Seriously though, there isn't much point discussing guns with some people. Some have what amounts to an irrational fear of the inanimate object itself: hoplophobia. You can't argue with a phobia.

    Okay, then ban all dogs except those used in hunting, etc. You know, single action dogs. Semi-Auto and Automatic dogs should be banned.
