49. Ok, I'll give you one point. I was wrong....
it wasn't you who posted that GUNS kill people. I didn't look at the names right. You responded to something I posted to someone else, my mistake.

As for this statement: "And now I shall explain to you how hurricanes don't kill people, and avalanches don't kill people, and dogs don't kill people. Flying debris and falling snow and loss of blood kill people."

You're starting to get it! Good work, keep it up. :rofl: We can run in circles all day if you want because I'm bored and this is fun.

You want to argue semantics? Your words are 100% true. How many people are killed by hurricanes that make landfall? How about by tornadoes that never come close to homes or towns? There's avalanches on snow covered mountains all the time that don't kill people. We had a rock slide near my house a couple of months ago that didn't kill anyone, though it could have if someone had been driving down the road and was in that exact spot at that exact moment.

Last summer, on my way back from the campground during a heavy storm, a tree fell across the road right in front of me. I just happened to look up and see it starting to fall and was able to slow down. Had I been going 3 mph faster and not paying attention, it would have fallen on my truck, possibly killing me AND my children. Should we ban trees and thunder storms?
