By contrast, there were only 323 murders which involved a rifle in the US last year. You are 10,000% more likely to be killed by a bad driver than by a rifle owner. You are more likely to be killed by a hammer, club, fist or knife than by a rifle.

I have been hit by cars several times riding my bicycle and have close calls every week, but have never felt threatened by a rifle. The safest place in the world is a gun shop or a gun show.

In December 2010 alone, 548 pedestrians and cyclists were killed by cars.

    More evidence that Americans can’t be trusted with modern technology?

    Let the Progressives confiscate your firearms, and your carbon fuel gobbling means of transpiration will go next. What makes any of you think that a true Progressive want’s any progress except for regressive ‘progress’ back to the Dark Ages or at least the dark ages of pre-Thomas Edison.
