@SamHarrisOrg I think most of us just feel your fear is irrational and your energy is misplaced.

@SamHarrisOrg some of your readers attach their atheism to their political views. As a result they view you as somewhat of a liberal icon...

@SamHarrisOrg. can we say then that cars are more dangerous than guns? The comparison is not valid at all. -
@rafeedikran Indeed we can. But cars are also much more important to have. -
.
@SamHarrisOrg I think the number of exposures to pool, guns, cars should be the denominator rather than their actual numbers.

@SamHarrisOrg wouldn't you say guns are worshipped in this country? I truly believe this is now bordering on a fully organized religion -
@WillemBruce Yes, and it is very disturbing. I even hear from people who think Newtown was a hoax to justify increased gun control. - 1 more reply

@SamHarrisOrg A child is >3x likely to die by gun than by drowning by age 19. Levitt only counts kids <age 10, when drowning is more common. -
@mark_hobbs But he also counts homicides + accidents. Arguably, he should only count gun accidents. -
@SamHarrisOrg Doesn't ready access to guns in homes contribute to these child homicides? Also, he doesn't consider that most have >1 gun.

@SamHarrisOrg Not sure, but clearly the most dangerous would be a pool of guns. - 1 more reply
