I'll take that.. as long as you're standing at the bottom of Half Dome, and I'm peeking over the top rolling rocks on your head.

A firearm is not dangerous without a person behind it.

Thankfully, access to firearms is strictly controlled and it is highly unlikely that a nut-job could obtain one.

Well, in some places.

All of the anti-gun liberals conveniently forget that the person IS the weapon; guns, knives, clubs, etc are merely tools the "weapon" choses to misuse.

The two worst homicides in NY were committed using petrochemicals (911~jet fuel, thousands murdered; Happyland Social Club~one gallon of gasoline, 100+ murdered)

As long as time, money and effort is NOT focused on the problem (the real "weapon") all of the "solutions" are just ineffective band aids which waste time and money.

Single incidents do not tell the whole story.

Please provide the number of the people killed by petrochemicals and aircraft in NYC over the last, say, 30 years vs. gun deaths. Go ahead and add other causes of death if you like.

Boy, I'm surprised this has stayed on This Side for so long.
As far as New York goes, the incidents of murder committed with firearms dropped considerably when Rudie Giuliani took office. One of the first things he did was to step up enforcement of existing gun laws.
Enforcing existing laws would go a long way to reduce gun violence, not new laws.

That's why I support legalizing ground to air missiles. :-)
