No it's not, Micheal Moore makes up numbers, or he conveniently leaves out tidbits of important information in order to prove his points. I dont even thing left wingers will deny this.

Thats not the same thing. I am talking about ending a life, not repairing a tire.

No, we are not talking about the same thing. We are talking about saving lives.
Outlaw guns and only outlaws have guns. Now CCW laws are in place so gangbangers dont have access to CCW permits. If they are caught with one, they are prosecuted. Why prosecute the law abiding citizen who might be wary, or who already fell victom to a robbery?

I am through arguing about this. I am for guns, but I am not for killing ppl or animals.

How interesting you threw in the animals into the argument. Because you know, this is about the childrens safety.

After all, it's not easy to kill by clubbing, stabbing or hanging; these methods lack the super-ability and feasibility that guns provide.

Hanging should not be in there, it is a pre-ordaned and organized method.
Stabbing? Ask any police officer a knife is more deadly than a gun. Dont believe me? Ask one, you can be stabbed 7 times before you draw your gun. If you're halfway smart you twist the knife and you make a half-inch hole in the body it's almost 100% guarantee of death. You dont get that from a gun unless shot directly in the head, which is a lucky shot at best.
Clubbing? One knock to the head he's unconcious, easy prey for whatever you wish. So no, both of these do not require "super-ability"
Oh yeah, those statistics you pointed out are flawed because they dont look at the larger picture. The crime rate has continued to fall since the early 90s, this trend predates your statistical dates of CCW laws.
So, lets go over this one more time. Correlation does not equal Causation. Gun control laws do not affect national trends that predate them, just as having stealth bombers today did not affect WWII.
