According to the CDC, the number of accidental shooting deaths in 2006, the last year they have numbers, was 642. They do not seem to keep track of how many of those were the result of a registered firearm being used. You're making a different distinction, 'killed by someone with a permit'. This would exclude, for example, if a man has a permit and his son plays with the gun. However, if that happens, it's a death caused by the policy of letting people own firearms, so I think it's still meaningful. Please explain how you can only find one death in the space of years, when the CDC can find 5,150 from 2000 to 2006 ( I'm making some assumptions on your use of the word 'years', their data goes before 2000 ), and doesn't seem to track which guns were registered. What's your source of data ? Knock yourself out[^]

The data for that probably just doesn't exist. Most states do not require firearms to be registered. If I buy one from a dealer they will run a background check and have me take a little true/false test. Most the questions are along the lines of "Are you crazy?", "Are you stalking someone?", "Are you on drugs?" etc. If I buy the gun from a private party, none of this happens. Permitting issues really only apply if I want to carry a gun concealed in my pocket, etc. Most every place you can carry a gun concealed with a permit you can carry the gun openly without one. Open carry just tends to raise a lot more eyebrows.

In a free market system, it is still illegal to violate other people's property and to commit fraud.

No it isn't, because they are paying off and infiltrating government regulatory agencies. This is what happens when you give power over the markets to the government.

Government regulatory agencies = Government having power over the markets Companies infiltrating these agencies = Markets having power over the government So let's see... Regulation is against the free market, right? But without regulation, there's no way to prevent fraud, which you're also against... Make up your mind. Your opinions are self-contradictory.

No, it is illegal to commit fraud in a free market system, just as it is to steal or kill people. Get it? Got it? Good. Fucking dumbass shit. You are either really stupid, intentionally ignorant, and or a jackass.

Making it illegal doesn't mean anything, if you don't enforce it. Enforcing it requires some form of regulation, to detect the wrongdoing and react to it. And once again, you're resorting to insults when you find your position untenable.

No it needs a police force and court system. You really are stupid, you don't know anything about how any type of government operates in theory, and you don't know anything about how it operates now.

Nah, he's the first one with with his hands in the air, playing no actual role in the outcome, just like here!
Oh, okay, sounds good. Funny thing is that that movie showed a bunch of kids grabbing hunting weapons and making due, they only start using military hardware when they loot it off of enemy soldiers.
If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)No they would be enforcing the law, not manipulating the markets and downing them in bureaucracy.

The law is REGULATION. Why you are incapable of seeing something so basic is beyond comprehension. Bureaucracy is the result of the need to document people following the rules. Feel free to resort to insults when your programming hits

Enforcing laws = Making sure people follow the rules = Watching them to be sure they're following the rules = Regulation If you can't get that through your skull, then this entire conversation is pointless, and you should go get therapy QUICKLY.

No the law is not regulation. The law makes it illegal to steal, the law makes it illegal to defraud. The law could be written as one sentence. Regulatory codes takes volumes upon volumes of text for just a single entity, such as a car tire size, crash testing, mileage, and emissions. The bureaucracy requires even more resources and all of this only causes the economy to crumble.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)You started trying to sell me more nonsense regulation, but you have squirmed down to a level where basic property rights, personal liberty, free markets, and so on is the regulation.

Excuse me? Where did I say that? Link? I've been trying to explain to you that any form of fraud prevention, which you merely term "enforcement," IS regulation. I think you understand that now. Now if you're assuming that by "regulation," I meant price fixing, inflation control, etc... Well that's you reading into it.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)You are trying to redefine words. A law is a law, a regulation is a regulation. There is a difference between the two. I know your puny little ass has a hard time understanding. You effeminate NYC turd life growing up domesticated and enclosed in a compact highly survailed with terror police with sub-machine guns in the subways. You don't have a car, and you spend your free time in a lonely apartment writing fairtales of Xen and shit. :doh:
