Frying Pans And Hammers More Dangerous Than Guns: GA Politician Wants Them Banned

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Yesterday, Georgia state senator Bill Jackson (R) addressed his colleagues by attacking sensible gun regulations. During the climax of his speech, Jackson implied that frying pans and hammers are as dangerous or more dangerous than guns:

JACKSON: In the meantime, the gentleman from the 22nd, my colleague he’s worried about guns, and you know insinuating guns. They killin’ people with frying pans. They killing people with hammers. There’s more murders with hammers last years than there was shotguns, pistols, and ak-47′s. Let’s help the people that need the help. That’s the end of this story. Thank you very much.

Watch video of Jackson provided by Better Georgia:

      Since there is some intentional deception going on here by the author let me explain what is going on here. About 500 people might have been killed by hammers and clubs in 2011….only as VICTIMS OF CRIME. The true number killed as victims of crime by guns is something like 100 to 200…….NOT over 9 thousand. The extra deaths are in there because the author is purposefully misleading people by throwing in criminals killed in lawful defense by the law abiding citizens AND criminals killed by police.

      Now that you know the truth, Bill Jacksons joke makes much more sense. Since frying pans cause more sinister deaths than guns, perhaps they should be banned. Of course, not, since they really aren’t a legitimate problem. Neither are guns.

      The joke doesn’t go far enough in my opinion because it doesn’t bring up an important fact. That 500 people killed by criminals would almost certainly be far higher, if guns were banned, forcing the 9 thousand firearm deaths lower. In other words, fewer criminals killed in self defense and many more successful criminal murders. That is…..immoral. It also is the exact intention of the gun grabbers.

      Not that it matters. No one is giving up their guns….no matter what Obama might have to say about it. This issue will break Obama…..minimum, impeachment.
