        @samharrisorg You're on really thin ice in your comparison of guns to cars. Hours of use per day? Speed/acceleration = accident?

        @vroum_ninou No. There is danger in just having them. Those who have guns "use" them 24 hours per day.

        @samharrisorg A car in a garage is as safe as a gun in a lockbox. Car gets out of the garage a lot more than the gun out of the lockbox.

        @vroum_ninou But the danger of a gun is the access to it -- for suicide, crimes of passion, children finding it, etc. 24 hours a day.

        @samharrisorg OK but you highlighted few ACCIDENTS with guns compared to cars. There would be a lot more if used 1h30 min per day like cars.

        @vroum_ninou No, I was comparing the fatalities on both sides. Cars are so dangerous that we can't help killing each other with them.

        @AtheistStoned there is a big difference between assisted suicide and having a suicidal episode after a break up.

        Whatever the reason, I think we should respect people's choices. Why do we always assume suicide is irrational? @davidowen_sd

        @SamHarrisOrg TY. I'm esp frustrated with anti-gun people who mindlessly repeat "ban" instead of endorsing a poss helpful specific policy.

        @BethAmberly I think there are a few things we could do, but gun nuts on one side and "ban them" on the other. Nothing will change.

        @BethAmberly There are really no politicians on the ban side. I don't think a single one. The ban people are screaming into the void.

        @BethAmberly or just directly contributing to gun nut propaganda. That's all they're accomplishing.
