How does scientific experiements work?
I'll exaplain: invent an experiement, do it several times. If results are too unstable repeat the experiment tons of times=
+- stable result.
My friend, who recently started playing TRPG (NowBob), has hunted every since he was 7. This person is currently 17. He has never once used a gun improperly because of education. He's a teenager. He's never caused an accident to happen. Wanna know why? Because unlike you European fark, us Americans don't leave ammo sitting around in guns for accidents to happen. He even sleeps with a rifle and ammo in his room locked up in a case for protection. See what I did there? I assumed something about Europeans being moronic like you assume about Americans. Great job dickface.
One example? Do you think 2 examples are enough, 3? not even millions.
I don't think I know anyone with a sane mind that can truly believe that giving a 5 year old is a good idea. Particle doesn't
think it, and any military guy I know...inculding my dad (who was in the army while arf was still in highschool.)
Ok somehow find the percentage of kids who use guns in the usa; compare it to percentage of kids who die with guns in the usa, result? Nothing not relevant. Gun accidents are all we care about.
yeah were so retarded...we got no clue how to use guns in europe...

what's an irresposible gunuser? I don't know...but people sure know how tot use a gun in usa XD
kids ehms?
There were 259 fatal firearm accidents for 15-19 year olds in 1995
That's nothing, you laugh about this, seeing all those parents losing their kids must give you a great feeling.
In 1993, there were 1,334 drownings and 528 firearm-related accidental deaths from ages 0-19. While firearms outnumber pools by a factor of over 30:1, the risk of drowning in a pool is nearly 100 times higher than from a firearm-related accident. From ages 0-5, the risk of drowning skyrockets to 500 times the risk from a gun! (16,17)
ages 0-19, yeah age 0 is included...19 too.
For every child killed with a gun, four are wounded. The rate of firearm deaths of children 0-14 years old is nearly twelve times higher in the U.S. than in 25 other industrialized nations combined.
USA parents who give their kids weapons rock!
# Over 6,000 students were expelled in 1996-97 for bringing guns to school. It is estimated that between 36% and 50% of male eleventh graders believe they could easily get a gun if they wanted one.
Yeah these days when you go to school you pick up 5 things; your bag, your homework,your books;your lunch and your gun XD
2 hours of detention when you forget the gun.
In 1996, more than 1,300 children aged 10-19 committed suicide with firearms. Two-thirds of all completed teenage suicides involve a firearm.
Enjoy!
Laws to prevent children from gaining access to guns have been passed by 17 states. These states hold gun owners criminally liable if children access their loaded weapons and hurt themselves or someone else. Research demonstrates that in the 12 states that had passed the CAP laws by 1997, accidental deaths of children from firearms decreased 23% in the two years after the laws went into effect.
I'm against this actually, but can understand it.
This surpirses you?
(old news)
A 5-year-old boy was killed Thursday on the Tohono O'odham Reservation when a gun he was handling accidentally went off, a Tohono O'odham police spokesman said.
A 5-year-old boy was shot and killed Friday at his grandmother's home in East Oakland, but police said they don't know whether the death was a tragic accident or the result of foul play.
omg so surprising, I must be stupid
Being honest about the risks. Advertising should not make claims suggesting that guns in the home enhance personal security. Guns are rarely used for self-protection. In fact, having a gun in the home increases the risk of homicide, suicide or unintentional injury. Advertising should also avoid messages that are likely to make the industry’s products more desirable to criminals or others prone to violent behavior. Some advertising, for instance, boasts a fingerprint-resistant finish. Advertising should not be permitted in publications with a substantial youth readership. All advertising should include warnings about the risks of having guns in the home.
Don't deny the risks, just don't ever do it.
You rly think living in a world withoug accidents is possible?
You're a fool if you think you can teach a 5 or even 8 year old what death rly is about. Even a 10 year old genius won't get it.
Let's consider that the impossible is possible. What's the chance of still having a gun accident? nowhere close to 0...
I wouldn't give one of my firearms to anyone I didn't trust.
Trust requirements:
- Be 16-18 or older...preferably older
- (or) Be a law enforcement officer [only had this come up twice]
- Be well known to me and mature
16 ehm? I guess he just makes this up out of nowhere...he's just not thinking...this is bullcrap!!!
Why kids shouldn't have guns is common sence for normal people.
More proof that 1/4 of Americans are at least mostly retarded:

This is not accurate, mesuring this is close to impossible. You would have to question thousands of americans all over USA to get an accurate percentage. I have encountered about 4 bigtime retards in my 7 years of forum reading and writing. (arf is the last on the list obviously XD ) Most times what happens is : They continue on with their 100% crazy demented argumentations. They never stop, others do on the other side. I've only had one times when a few were stupid enough to follow the retard. What happened? More normal people stepped in just to laugh at the stupidity. The retard stopped posting after that. I bet I'll have more of these in the future. XD After that whole useless debate I got send an invitation to a special debating group inwhich most admins of the site posted stuff.
See what I did there? I assumed something about Europeans being moronic like you assume about Americans. Great job dickface.
last 3 words maak everything worthless.
DO you think this is the first time I talk about guns with particle???
Why did I talk to particle about guns before?
Because I like guns too, and have used several (more than you for sure).
You assumed I'm a gun noob. I kinda am actually if you compare me to particle, but particle is a gun noob compared to my dad or a few friends I have. How many guns does particle own? Not as much as you think, and certainly not as much as most real gun loving guys.
redneck stop... I still like you, however here just started proving my view on most americans. Continue or stop? Your choice.
