I debate lines of thinking less than political parties.  I'm more amused by people saying "Why are we worrying about guns when our diets are more likely to kill us" righter after complaining that Michelle Obama is a transvestite tyrant for worrying about our diets.  This meme just seems laughably self-serving in the sense that (traditionally) the same people who are against gun control (myself included, in a sense) have been against the regulations that aim to reduce the other deaths.

Let's see....

Heart disease, cancer, tobacco, obesity, stroke, respiratory disease, diabetes, kidney failure, drunk driving, and prescription drug overdose can all be related to things that this country attempted to regulate or change with no small amount of opposition.  It's not a right-vs-left argument, but for right wingers to make the argument that gun deaths aren't a big deal because a lot of other things they don't want to regulate ARE a big deal is just laughable.

It just doesn't seem like a coherent argument unless you say (as I would) I'm against regulations so I don't care if people kill themselves with booze, food, guns, or drugs.  You don't say "Guns shouldn't be regulated because they cause less deaths than a bunch of other stuff I don't want to see regulated."
