| 1454019 | 2018-10-03 01:41:00 | Maybe it is just me but I fail to understand why people get hysterical about a few hundred gun deaths in the US last year but the around 72,000 killed by drug overdose get next to no publicity at all. www.theguardian.com |

At least, if you ignorethe pages upon pages of news articles, reports, studies, and other pieces of information on it. :devil Actually, let's ignore themfor the sake of argument. Obama was President for 8 years, how dare he comment on other issues but not this one! Oh. Wait. lmgtfy.com :lol::lol: Hmm, maybe it is covered as an important issue after all.... Also, I think you'll find the number of gun related deaths in the US is not 'a few hundred', but maybe a few more than that: www.vox.com [Edited - Mod's comment: you are making a habit of these sort of unnecessary personal comments. Please stop.] Next time try to get things right. :thumbs: |

| 1454024 | 2018-10-03 06:27:00 | My view on Clivos comments: Guns do not kill people, people kill people. I love guns have always said firing the .5" M2 Brownings at a towed aerial target from a ship is better than sex. I loathe, hate and detest vile people who take illegal drugs and have zero sympathy for any deaths resulting in their use. |

| 1454026 | 2018-10-03 08:06:00 | Lighten up Nick. I was merely making an observation not trying to start a political debate.Your so called 'observation' was wrong. While calling a spade a spade apparently isn't on around here anymore, I'm not sure even you actually expect us to believe it wasn't intended to push your views. Try to stick to facts instead of lies. If I say 2 + 2 = 3, that isn't an observation. It's bullsh*t and should be called out as such. | Nick G (16709) | ||

Your statement was 100% correct? That's absolute rubbish. Gun related deaths were far higher than 'a few hundred'. Don't double down on lies. | Nick G (16709) | ||
