Way, way, way more people die because of mistakes by doctors than do by guns. And that is only the ones we know about.

Hunting is murder. And it's obscene. And it's funded with your taxes.
In 1971, there were about 500,000 deer in Michigan, but that wasn't enough to appease the hunting community. So the DNR decided to change Michigan's "old forest" situation by instituting the Deer Range Improvement Program.
DRIP clear-cut 1.2 million acres of forest to create a more accessible food supply for deer and further stimulate reproduction.
Add to this the disproportionate number of licenses issued to kill male deer and you have a major increase in numbers. Killing male deer increases the herd by causing the females' internal reproductive mechanisms to go haywire, resulting in the births of twins and triplets. Any wildlife biologist notpaid off by the "hunting" community will attest that this is a fact.
The DRIP program and buck-hunting caused the deer herd to reach two million last year, an increase of 1.5 million since 1971. That makes the hunting community solely responsible for the increase in deer-car collisions.
Here's what Dave Arnold, a DNR executive, said: "Don't lose sight of the purpose of the (DRIP) program. When the DNR decided several years ago to try and increase the herd to about one million animals, we knew the auto collision rate and crop damage would rise."

Your life has been threatened 3 or 4 times? I hope that is an exageration. I can only thank all that is sacred to me that I do not live where you live.
But where is all this freedom you thump your tubs about? Where is all this safety that your politicians promise you?
Hope you don't bring those freedoms here.

The cowboy culture of the gunlover needs to be excised from America.

It is no exaggeration but it also comes with the territory of having been a US Marine and moving around the country.
The 'safety' that the politicians promise is a pipe dream. There is no way to guarantee anyones safety unless everyone were to be placed in their own padded cell under lock and key. People who believe in those promises of guaranteed safety are victims in waiting. The 'freedom' you're wondering about....it's generally all about us, so long as you are free to move about your day, live, love, be happy, and produce what you want to without hurting someone else. Too many states tend to deny that nowadays.

Heller will be overturned. President Obama is perfectly free to appoint supreme court justices who will overturn Heller. Justice Stevens, in his dissent, called the Opinion of the Court "strained and unpersuasive" and said that the right to possess a firearm exists only in relation to the militia .

you have no respect for the judicial branch, you are anti american and you hate our constitution. if the court can simply just overturn an opinion because new judges are on the bench, you are destroyed the judicial branch...you have no respect for stare decisis and treat the judicial branch as merely a political extension of the white house, something that is unconstitutional. why do you hate the US and its constitution?
again,
do you eat meat?

wow, you can't even read supreme court decisions correctly. If you read both majority and dissents, you'll notice that ALL 9 justices agreed that the right to bear arms is an individual right. The dissent is about whether the 2nd protects that right or the 9th does.
also realize that by reducing the citizens last constitutional branch of protection from an encroaching central government, you're promoting the second revolution.
