AR 15 vs Lawnmowers
 
Here’s another statistic from the New York Times article on AR-15s we told you about earlier. According to the Times, “Since 2007, at least 173 people have been killed in mass shootings in the United States involving AR-15s, according to a New York Times analysis.”

70 Americans are killed EVERY YEAR by lawnmowers. That's over 700 in the same time period.

"Constipation" — 2,167 deaths (since 1999)

"Fall involving bed" — 10,386 deaths (since 1999)

"Fall involving ice-skates, skis, roller-skates or skateboards" — 1,139 deaths (since 1999)

I'm pretty sure no one has used constipation as a weapon to kill others....well, except that guy with the all you can eat persimmon buffet.

Irrespective of one's beliefs, since none of the types of death you cite are a person intentionally killing another person, the data are totally irrelevant and nonsensical.

There you go ! "person intentionally killing another person" We need to outlaw this right away! I think we already have. Argument gets confused when you include objects that can accomplish this.

Besides, a good lawyer can prove just about anything.

Lawnmowers are dangerous over powered cutting machines that can kill. Outlaw them

Cheese is a dangerous food engineered to seize up your intestines. See ya

Beds are too high and kill, confiscate all, henceforth all mattresses must rest on the floor.

Do lawnmowers get blessed and prayed over....

Worshippers clutching AR-15 rifles hold commitment ceremony - The Morning Call

Crown-wearing worshippers clutching AR-15 rifles drank holy wine and exchanged or renewed wedding vows in a commitment ceremony

The church, which has a worldwide following, believes the AR-15 symbolizes the “rod of iron” in the book of Revelation, and encouraged couples to bring the weapons.

Ever heard of renewing your vows with your Toro at your side ?

We know they did not buy at Dick's !!!!!

Historical holy cheeses

Cheese blintzes, cheese kreplach, cheesecake, cheese sambusak, atayef (a cheese-filled pancake), a seven-layer cake called siete cielos (seven heavens) and other dairy foods are traditionally eaten on Shavuot, and have various symbolic meanings all connected to the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai celebrated on this holiday.

A lawnmower has been used to murder someone, at least in a fictional story. The Lawnmower Man - Wikipedia

Nope, just comparing various causes of death. Actually, when you remove suicides (60% of gun caused deaths) guns are not a leading instrument of deaths or murders.

You can outlaw anything, including lawnmowers, but people who want to kill themselves or others will find a way.

While obviously meant to be facetious, there will be those gun nuts that will jump on it and scream...Heck Yeah! :oops:

Good thing not too many lawn mowers find their way into classrooms.

We should just ban intercourse because life is a fatal sexually transmitted disease.. We're all going to die.
