(433 posts)It should bother you to proffer such ill-informed opinions.
Let me provide you with a brief reading list

It has been well-argued by public health experts that we have a sufficiently high number of deaths and injuries from firearms that this is the approach we should take, similar to the public health focus that was made to reduce vehicular deaths by public health authorities.
Both were inanimate objects. You simply display YOUR ignorance.
Inanimate objects, such as firearms, are significant in the extent and ease with which injuries and death happen. Screwdrivers are inanimate objects, but they are rarely used to kill or intentionally injure anyone.
You have simply demonstrated your inability to think analytically; there is nothing about firearms being inanimate which precludes them being the subject of public health initiatives, or which suggests being a follower of animism.
Now I could read the research of people like this:

http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/means-matter/
http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/vprp/publications/
to list just a few.
OR, I could give credence to the low-information, low critical thinking products of what you pull out of your arse.
Clearly, the public health experts are much smarter and better informed and especially better at thinking than you are.
I'll take their side, not yours, because I have very low tolerance for stupidity
