Reply #180: Accidents: Car... No one is at fault?

[chknltl]

Um.... odd logic there PeterBrady.
I am not a gun enthusiast. I do not know the legal terms. Do I need a degree in law in order to post my thoughts on ANY topic here in DU?
Negligent shooting and accidental shooting, exactly what percentage of the general population do you suppose is aware of the difference?
I was not. So if you are among the minority who understands the difference is it safe to believe that you were perfectly aware of which I was referring to? Tell you what, ONLY for you and those few who may have been confused I'll change "accidental" shooting to negligent shooting. Does this mean all car accidents are really car "negligents" or some such?

As to unnecessary loss of life...however long the list may be, each item deserves to be worked with the hopes of reducing the tally. This stat seems fairly logical to me: Remove all automobiles and there will be no more deaths due to automobiles. Of course we can not remove all automobiles, they are a necessity for our society at this point. Handguns outside of the military and law enforcement on the other hand are NOT a necessity. The same logic again applies: remove the unnecessary handguns and "negligent" shootings will be reduced. PERIOD. (Same logic I used with R.P.Gs earlier)

btw welcome to DU. You are my fellow DUer. You are NOT my enemy. We may disagree on topics but please understand that I see you as a fellow American. I look forward to reading your thoughts here in the DU. It kinda sucks that we started off with a disagreement on handguns. I know that I am in a minority with my views.
Here is a toast to further discourse: :toast:
