I thought 2a activists took constitutional rights seriously? I guess not. |
1000000%. This country IS sick and the gun issue will be one of the ones that destroys us. |
More Americans are murdered with clubs and bare hands than with all types of rifles, combined. Including ARs. The idea that civilian ownership of AR-15s will “destroy the country” is so ridiculous and hysterical. You are ridiculous and hysterical, PP. |
NP, but forgetting AR-15, most Americans are murdered by guns, not clubs or hands, where did you get that "fist" nonsense? All homicides: 26,031; firearm homicides: 20,958 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm https://www.statista.com/statistics/195325/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-weapon-used/ A significant number of firearm deaths don't have the weapon classified so the true breakdown isn't known. |
Exactly. |
When was the last time someone went into a school and within the span of 5 minutes murdered a dozen people with a club or his bare hands? I'll wait... |
No tyranny here |
Based on what definitive research? Let me wait for you to cherry pick one study to support your point while ignoring totality of (generally fragile) research findings. |
I'm not even the previous poster but I pretty much busted out laughing my ass of laughing at YOU, beta ammosexual. YOU are the little beta clinging to a gun for lack of a functional dick or any real courage, not the PP. |
DP, and also while you repeatedly ignore real things that are proven to have impact when comparing states with different laws. The problem is the major swiss cheese holes in Red America, where no matter what one state has, criminals easily make bulk straw purchases and traffic. You aren't serious about reduction in crime if you stick your head in the sand about how easy straw purchases and trafficking are in Red states. |
Might want to move? |
We will be because we have the means to. Others don't. Regardless, your comment deflects from the actual point which is that gun crime and knife crime are not the same in terms of bystander risk to communities impacted by violence and cracking down on straw purchase and trafficking in red states WOULD actually help on this front. Limit bulk purchases, require only one weapon purchase per time period (worked to reduce straw purchases in VA). Stop deflecting. |
Stop and frisk is like trying to close the barn door after the horses are already out. How about we MANDATE a hard requirement on background checks for EVERY transfer of ownership of a gun to INCLUDE anyone diagnosed with mental illness to include depression (given the millions of gun suicides) and including anyone with a history of domestic or workplace violence or anger management issues and that EVERY TRANSFER goes into a PERSISTENT SEARCHABLE database. And, any "lost" or "stolen" gun must be reported IMMEDIATELY along with facing consequences for not properly storing or securing your gun. And anyone not complying gets an immediate felony and jail time. From there on out, every gun used in a crime that is recovered on the streets is traced back to where it came from and the person who possessed it supplied it gets a mandatory felony and jail time. Doing that would shut down a HUGE percentage of the problems and stop a lot of the fcking around that's contributing to our gun violence epidemic. |

Constitution is flexible, right? |
