Gucciardi also adds that many of these gun deaths occur in gun control capitals like Chicago, where lawful citizens cannot own guns to defend themselves.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Gucciardi points out that\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1023\/A%3A1007588410221#page-1\">900,000 plus potential homicides are prevented<\/a>\u00a0each year by the use of legal firearms in self defense.\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nsc.org\/Pages\/Home.aspx\">The National Safety Council also notes<\/a>\u00a0that guns are used some 2.5 million times a year in self defense against criminals, meaning that firearms are utilized to protect innocent lives in 250 times more cases than they are used to end lives.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Asked, \u201chow many people do you think are killed by knives each year?\u201d the gun control fanatic responds, \u201cWe need to ban knives too,\u201d before arguing that government scientific bodies should \u201ccreate a kitchen utensil that can serve that purpose but not kill or wound a human being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Asked if nails should be banned, the fanatic responds, \u201cIt\u2019s something to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Gucciardi then asks, \u201cDo you think we should ban everything with a sharp edge?,\u201d to which the fanatic responds, \u201cAnything that can hurt anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Gucciardi then lists all the objects that should be banned \u2014 glass bottles, nails, knives, even forks \u2014 and the fanatic agrees that all of these objects should be banned \u201cif we can find an alternative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Raising the point that hands and fists kill more people than rifles every year, Gucciardi asks if they should be banned too, to which the fanatic responds that education is the preferred method of reducing violence.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The fanatic indicates that he is the head of a charity involved in violence prevention in schools.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">It is important to stress that this is not a satire skit, this represents the viewpoint of a significant number of Americans.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Previous videos have documented how some Americans would agree with repealing the Second Amendment and allowing the government to go door to door to confiscate guns belonging to \u201cwhite people\u201d to ensure \u201conly the criminals have the guns and get them out of the hands of law abiding citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">*********************<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/infowars.com\/\">Infowars.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/prisonplanet.com\/\">Prison Planet.com<\/a>.
