Simple logic is apparently beyond yours.  What part of guns will never shoot anyone by themselves, do you not grasp?  Go ahead, try and pick up a cobra and see if it won't bite you.  Now, guess what?...You can pick up a gun a gazillian times, and not once will it ever shoot you.....unless of course you're fully ignorant of a firearm, and decide to pull the trigger while pointing it at yourself.  Thankfully, 98% of law abiding gun owners grasp that concept, and only will point it in a safe direction or a specific threat

More Americans are killed with their own guns than with their own cobras, and that is a FACT.

It is mostly due to the American Cobra Association has had difficulty finding sponsors, whereas the madness that is the NRA has to beat off gun manufacturers and ammo peddlers with a stick.

And more americans are killed in car accidents than gun gun accidents.  And that is A FACT.  Not to mention Cobras aren't a common item found in this country.  Severe lack of manufaturing centers, I would opine.  Maybe if cobras joined a union

Any more irrelevent moronic idiocy you wish to spew on this subject?

The more people who have cobras, the more people will die of cobra bites.
The more guns there are, the more people will get shot.

Simple math is beyond your abilities.

This is simple like 2+2=22.

It may be true that where there are no guns at all no one would get shot, but the last time we had that situation on this planet we still had plenty of violent death, it simply required a little more personal effort.

The real situation is that practically any gun has potential to be a murder weapon over and over, so the situation is worst when there are only a few guns , and most of them are in the wrong hands, this is the situation most gun control proponents work their best to make happen.

If there were no guns at all , the situation would simply return to the way it was earlier than King Henry IIX. Having guns actually reduced the violence overall, unless the reduction in overall violence from that time is merely a coincidence.

There has never been a King Henry IIX..  Henry 8th was Henry VIII.   I,II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, etc. subtracted numbers are never more than one. Added numbers can go up to III.
You need to review Roman numerals (aka Superbowl numbers).

Oh , thanks.

   I mentioned Henry Number eight because he was wont to wander the streets of London bearing a staff that had a heavy spiked head with a three barreled firearm in it.

   Henry was even arrested for being such a suspicious character...

King Henry VIII is mostly known for his many unlucky wives, but while he had a love for women, he also had a taste for exotic weapons. According to the stories, one of his favorites was “King Henry VIII’s Walking Staff”—a staff with a morning star at the end that concealed three matchlock pistols. One night, it even supposedly landed the king in jail.

Legend has it that King Henry VIII would sometimes walk around the city with his staff at night to check on his constables. One night, a constable stopped him to question why a man was walking around in the dead of night with such a vicious-looking weapon. The king, unaccustomed to being dealt with in such a manner, struck him with it. The constable promptly arrested him and threw him in jail.

The next morning, the constable was informed that he had arrested the King of England. He was terrified and expected to be executed, but instead King Henry VIII commended him and even gave him a gift for his dedication to duty. Aside from that, the king also allotted a generous allowance of bread and coal to his former cellmates, since his night in jail had been spent without a single candle. Whether or not that actually happened is a matter of conjecture, but it’s a very common story. King Henry VIII’s Walking Staff is currently on display in the Tower of London’s Tudor Room.
