Interesting argument there. I wonder how many people die from AIDs each year in the US compared to the number of gun deaths...
In 2009, 21,601 people with AIDS died. That of course doesn't breakout how many were homosexuals, but considering their infection rates (77% of of HIV/AIDS infections), I would imagine that a good portion of that number got it through homosexual activities. Additionally, 47,129 were newly diagnosed with HIV, essentially sentencing them to a long, extended, death.
In 2010, 11,078 were killed in firearm related homicides.
