Should ice cream be banned from the United States?

If you compare the statistics more people die from ben and jerries (eating ice cream) compared to the people who die from a smith&wesson (getting shot). Maybe we should have a national ice cream registry and make people take NCIS background checks before they pick up a bucket of ice cream and limit the amount of popsicles to 6 per box. Using liberal logic it doesn't sound that bad.

    "If you compare the statistics more people die from ben and jerries (eating ice cream) compared to the people who die from a smith&wesson..."

    Show me those statistics. Is this something you've actually seen calculated, or are you making assumptions?

    Having a coronary when you are 80 from Ben & Jerry's is a good bit different than having to gun toting fool whack you at any given time.

    LOL I'd like to see you make that happen. There is nothing wrong with eating ice cream as long as you manage portion control. It's the overeating of it that causes problems.

    I Ice cream doesn't make you die.

    1 bullet shot or a couple of them can you make you die.

    When was the last time someone went into a school and threw ice cream at kids to kill them?

    Yeah people eat too much, but that is self inflicted gluttony.

    Lol its a choice to eat ice cream, and besides we all have to die, die happy. You want to ban something ban automobiles, they kill more than anything else.

    Yes, because just like guns, ice cream was specifically invented as a tool to aid in killing people. Wait, no it isn't. Never mind then.

    Source(s): NCIS background checks? WTF? What has the Naval Criminal Investigative Service got to do with this? Unless you mean the TV show, which makes even less sense in this context....
