The post that was quoted here has been removedA nut job with a gun may kill a handful. A nut job running a country with nuclear weapons can kill hundreds of thousands in one act. If people cant have guns we have holocausts. If countries can't have nuclear weapons we don't have Hiroshimas and Nagasakies. An interesting tid bit is that the only country that has proven itself irresponsible with nuclear weapons is the one trying to keep others from attaining them.

-Each day, nearly 7 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms for electrical shock or burn injuries caused by tampering with a wall outlet.
Each year, there is an estimated average of 60 electrocutions associated
with consumer products. The three most common product categories
associated with electrocutions are small appliance, power tool, and lighting
equipment.
60 per year
would you like to compare that with something?
