One thing I wish ... ( 1 day ago by Shadyac21)
One thing I wish they would ban is religion and fireworks. I'm sick of hearing both outside my window.
Finally someone ... ( 1 day ago by Shadyac21)
Finally someone whos read a history book. They won't tell you this stuff they just show you pictures and videos of people in pain who say if only we had more gun control my baby whould still be alive. You can't let that stuff blind you of the truth.
No problem, I don't ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
No problem, I don't think its that ppl don't read the constitution though...I think its that America has sadly become overrun with a bunch of filthy dogs who would like to take everything this country was built upon and the rights therein and throw them out the window...To say that these people must only be ignorant I think is being too kind
Oh yeah, I know a ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
Oh yeah, I know a little history but its not the stuff they want to teach in public school usually...They've only become government puppets for indoctrination...No, people gotta look pretty hard now to get any kind of real truth..Its sad...Oh, and I hear you about all the sensationalized news stories about the few kids every year that get hurt or injured with guns...
Why don't they ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
Why don't they report the 1.5 million (thats a conservative estimate, too) times per year that peoples lives are saved or criminals are deterred with home defense guns, rather the 1000 times per year accidental death by gun occurs...Oh yeah, thats not the liberal media's agenda...It makes me sick
are these guys ... ( 1 day ago by Stefanoitch)
are these guys serious?? of course gun controll will reduce murders. Fucking conservaitve idiots
please never throw ... ( 1 day ago by JigsawMaster)
please never throw statistics at me, they can be interpreted many ways.
think about it, maybe it's the opposite
this city has a high crime rate, therefore it needs gun control.
What are you ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
What are you talking about? Of course any one statistic does not stand out and can not be used as a stand alone, but the fact is is that when statistic after statistic and study after study show that not only does gun control not reduce crime, but it also directly precedes rising crime rates, then you can not ignore it...
We use numbers, ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
We use numbers, statistics, and studies in every arena of life to guide efficiency, safety, & a host of other things...except apparently no one wants to to measure the effectiveness of gun control because everyone would rather live in denial of the fact that its not a change in gun laws that we need to reduce violence, rather its a change in PEOPLE
Here's another FACT ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
Here's another FACT...Not even a statistic, though I'm sure you could get one on it...100 years ago FAR more people had guns in this country by virtue of the fact that it was such an integral part of their lives with respect to hunting and tradition and NOWHERE near the amount of gun crime was committed...Hmmm...I wonder why...Funny how none of the facts point to law abiding citizens owning guns for protection as the problem
LOL...Gun control ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
LOL...Gun control will reduce murders? LOL...You give me the statistics showing that because I can show you a whole bunch of statistics and studies released by the Justice Department year after year to the contrary...How about this one released by the Clinton administration (& i give u that one bc/ it was done by a liberal, PRO-gun control administration). 1.5 million times in the year home defense guns used to defend lives & deter crime compared to only a little over 1000 accidental gun deaths
ok so why doese ... ( 1 day ago by Stefanoitch)
ok so why doese over elleven thousand people get killed by guns each year in the US alone.
And how come kids are able to get guns and go to their school and kill other kids??
You have to try not ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
You have to try not to look at the issue so simplistically...There are ALWAYS going to be gun deaths...of all the gun deaths per year, almost ALL of them are either committed by criminals who would never obey gun control laws anyway or by law-abiding citizens defending themselves against criminals...Don't you understand, guns will always be easily obtainable, either on the black market or otherwise, so instituting gun control laws ONLY takes guns away from law abiding citizens
The reason crime ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
The reason crime rates soar every time gun control laws are passed in given areas is that it then becomes a free for all for criminals...Criminals prefer unarmed victims...The less guns law abiding citizens own, the more free criminals are to do their work without fear of resistance...It is simple logic...Look up Kennesaw, GA...Or google "its the law in kennesaw"...THat town passed into law that all households must own a gun & their crime rate fell by 89%...The numbers don't lie
i live in norway ... ( 1 day ago by Stefanoitch)
i live in norway and we are not allowed to own guns, so it is in almost every other country in the world. You can look at the statistics yourself, the crime rate is very low here so is it in the rest of scandinavia.
You also asked why ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
You also asked why kids are able to get guns & go to their school & kill kids...They were able to do that bc/ they were evil people & no matter what they would have found a gun to commit their crime...NO gun control laws EVER could have stopped those ppl because gun control doesn't limit the supply of guns & it sure as heck doesnt deter criminals from deciding to get one...if gun control laws helped criminals decide not to get a gun bc/ of the law then they wouldn't be criminals in the 1st place
Violence in ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
Violence in cultures is not dictated by their availability of guns...It is dictated by a huge host of other things such as media and family unit cohesion & stability, racial divisions within the country which can lead to gang violence, etc to name a couple...If a culture is violent, it has problems, but guns are not it...EVERY credible study & statistic shows here in the US that when we disarm the ppl thru gun control, crime rate rises & more innocent ppl end up victims
Oh and by the way, ... ( 1 day ago by muckem09)
Oh and by the way, its nice you guys have low crime rate...thats wonderful, but you know the greatest reason down thru history for owning guns and being armed is to deter tyranny in government...A short history lesson will show you that countries who fall fastest to tyranny are those with an unarmed people...Tyrants prefer unarmed victims, thats not my opinion; its historical fact...The right to bear arms has always been the defining difference between a citizen and a subject
Right on muckem09, ... ( 1 day ago by Uwiluz60)
Right on muckem09, Thugs will always be armed..We don't need any type of gun control..Anytime anyone talks about it gun sales sky rocket...Right now even because Obama won..Try to find a AR15...Sold out.
