From the Chattanooga newspaper http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2012/dec/21/drews-views-chattanooga-free-press-editorial/?opinionfreepress HEADLINE: Connecticut school shootings focal point for gun debate THE RECAP: Friday's slaying of 20 first-graders and six teachers and staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School struck horror and fear into the hearts of parents everywhere, rallied gun-control advocates and shook even some staunch gun-rights advocates. DREW'S VIEW: Was there any doubt that gun control advocates would exploit this tragic story to try to push their impossible goal of eliminating guns in America? The bodies of those poor children were still being counted when the hysterical and illogical rants of the gun rights adversaries began. It does little good to state obvious truths -- such as many more people would be robbed, raped and killed if would-be criminals weren't deterred by the fear that the would-be victim might have a gun -- to unreasonable people. Instead, I'll bring up a less recognized fact. Only 88 people died in mass shootings in America this year -- and those numbers come courtesy of The Nation, one of America's most antigun publications. Yes, it's heartbreaking that 88 people died. But that's out of 315 million Americans. That means one in every 3.6 million Americans died in a mass shooting this year -- about the same portion as the number of Americans that died each year from lightning strikes. Four times more Americans die in shower and bathtub accidents every year than die in mass shootings, according to the National Safety Council. A 2010 study published in the academic journal Thymos revealed that 117 baby boys die every year in the U.S. from circumcision complications. Even though more Americans die from botched unnecessary penis surgeries than mass shootings, talking heads don't rush to the nearest TV studio to condemn circumcisions. When mass shootings occur, rather than trying to stoke hysteria and strip rights, maybe anti-gun nuts (not to mention the media) should grieve the victims and then celebrate how rare such events truly are in the United States.

They must not have cut too much off of you.  Those others kill because of feelings of inadequacy. ;)

 

However, seriously, they ARE trying to outlaw circumcision in Germany for the past few months.
