Do you have any data that shows the rate of homicides committed by "gun nuts" is higher than for other people? There are a lot of people in the US who like guns, but as far as I can tell gun hobbyists are much less likely to kill people than the general populace.
- kroger 16y agoI didn't say that the homicides are committed by "gun nuts". Among the dangers of having a gun is that if you're robbed, you may be killed because you have a gun (you don't even need to react) or have your gun stolen and be used in a homicide. Not to mention accidents involving guns. "The Victim Survey (NCVS) estimates that there were 341,000 incidents of firearm theft from private citizens annually from 1987-92.": http://www.firearmsid.com/Feature%20Articles/0900GUIC/Guns%20Used%20in%20Crime.htm http://www.firearmsid.com/Feature%20Articles/0900GUIC/Guns%2...
