Search Results: death and dying

Louis the 9th was the king of France
He fought in Egypt to liberate it from the Muslims hoping to also reclaim Jerusalem.
Then "shaggar el dur" who ruled Egypt in that time defeated him and he was imprisoned and tortured but then he payed to be able to leave.
He was known for not acting like a king and helping the poor. He even invited the poor to eat with him at his palace and he also traveled to Palestine and lived a poor lifestyle to help the Christians there
He prayed a lot and went to church and when he was dying. His last words were "Jerusalem, Jerusalem"
And after his death he was declared a catholic and an Anglican saint.
As someone who lives in Egypt, sadly I'm forced to study that he was an evil Christian who wanted to kill Muslims

Here are some reasons banning guns in the US is a bad idea

First of all, I am talking about all guns. Because if you ban only assault rifles, most mass shootings are with handguns, not rifles. And Glocks have a semi automatic mode, which is almost just as fast as your typical machine gun. Some hunting rifles also shoot faster than assault rifles.
So we are talking about ALL guns.

1) guns save a lot more people than they do kill.
In 2013, there where 33,636 gun deaths. About 21,000 suicides and 500 where accidental. And about 11,000 where homicides, meaning that most of the 11,000 where criminals shot by police in justice. About only 2,000- 3,000 deaths where innocent. There was an average of 30 deaths per year that where students shot in school shootings.

This means that you have 0.0000000923 % chance of dying from a school shooting in the us and a 0.0001032729% chance of dying from a shooting in general (whether you're a innocent or not ) but this number may be higher in more dangerous areas (like south side chicago)

Here is a list of things you're more likely to die from: lawn mower, furniture, stairs, falling out of bed, domestic violence, car accident

2) crime rates will SOAR

You might have heard that Australia banned guns and haven't had a shooting in years, but they do have one of the worlds highest reports of sexual assault. Venezuala also banned legal ownership of guns, and they are the country with the second most gun deaths in the world.

In Britain, its extremely hard to get a gun and there are 3x as more rapes than in the us.

black market still exists. Meth Is illegal but there are thousands of people who use it. Now imagine this scenario,

You have a firearm to protect yourself and your family. Now guns are banned in the us. A criminal robs your house with a gun he got off the black market. Now what?

Criminals will commit more crimes if they won't get shot.
