16. Yes- Alcohol & cigs kill 1000's of people for every gun death
If anti-gun people really had hearts, they'd go after those 2 monsters
first. Then why not fatty foods- must kill 100's for every gun death.

Then a long list of other unhealthy behaviors. Guns are WAY, WAY down further on the list.

While the blatantly antigun media does it's best to hype one psycho hunter killing 5 people for days on end, 100's have died from alcohol and cigarettes since that incident with no NY Times coverage.

When you add up car accidents, drowning, chronic health failure in hospitals, domestic violence, etc... Alcohol and cigarettes are a
free roaming demon in our society.

Antigunners- If you have hearts, try saving 1000's of people instead of one. Focus on booze and cigs first. After you've banned those, then you can start attacking smaller freedoms that harm a fraction of the population.

I'll see you then.
