First off, sorry for the absence, I have really busy and have not seen a article that has really grabbed my attention.

About 12,000 Americans will be shot to death this year. I would like to know more about this figure. How many will be shot because of accidents?  How many will be shot because of self-defense? How many will be shot in cold blooded murder?

I find it funny and very dumb that someone thinks it is ok to sue a gun maker because a gun kills their loved one.  In what way does that make sense? Using that logic we should sue Ginsu because a knife killed someone.  

What I also trying to figure out is why do we need to turn to the gun makers to curb gun violence? What I think we need more is enforcement and maybe stiffer penalties for breaking the laws. Performance-based regulation is an absurd solution to this problem. Sen. Michael D. Enzi (R-Wyo.) thinks that we can use Performance-based regulation as a cookie cutter solution to all our problems. According to the article, he has put forward to proposal to help curb gun violence.  The NRA has been doing their part to curb gun violence and yet the antigun nuts do not like them. Do you know what the NRA has been trying to do to curb gun violence? By teaching gun safety.

Now, how can you get some of the international gun makers to curb gun violence in the US? I am will to bet if you ask The Izhevsk Machine Tool Factory (they currently hold the patent for the AK-47) to curb violence here and punish them if they do not. They will only laugh at you.

The two things I think that will work for curbing gun violence in the US are Education and Enforcement.

Also, if you want to be technical, guns do not kill people bullets do. I bet you can name a gun manufacturer, but can you name an ammunition manufacturer? Without using google.
