We need psychotic people control, not more fucking gun laws. Title: Re: Despite Recent Massacres, Gun Control Remains A Pipe Dream. Post by: 1965hawks on 08 15, 12, 08:00:02:AM Each year there are around 30,000 gun deaths in the US. Your laughable argument suggests that all those deaths were caused by psychopaths. Your rationalisation is illogical, lakitss.
Title: Re: Despite Recent Massacres, Gun Control Remains A Pipe Dream. Post by: lakitss on 08 15, 12, 08:24:41:AM And somehow your irrational thought process concludes that these crimes and murders would subside without a gun.
If someone wants you dead, you'll get killed one way or another. Maybe you'd rather get stabbed 37 times, or bludgeoned with a hammer. Maybe have your throat slit from ear to ear. You can harp and whine all you want, but disarming good people with the mindset that bad people won't be able to get a gun is typical, liberal, pacifist mentality. Irrational.

Per the Center for Disease Control, latest figures (2005)show 30,694 firearm deaths (all races, all ages, both sexes) in the UnitedStates. Since a firearm is an inanimate object, it can not be the sole creator/ rootcause of a death as it must be handled by a person in order to be fired. A more accurate description is approximately 16,000 suicides using a firearm Approximately 12,252 murders by firearms 80% of which are caused byfelons/career criminals/gang member activities. USDOJ National Gang ThreatAssessment annual report 2009 Approximately 600 justifiable defensive shootings by both police and citizens. The remainder in accidental firearms discharges http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_gun_deaths_are_in_the_US_every_year Now go look up the stats on number of Americans killed in auto accidents and especially medical malpractice Title: Re: Despite Recent Massacres, Gun Control Remains A Pipe Dream. Post by: caserio1 on 08 15, 12, 11:37:15:AM stands to reason that if guns were harder to get there would be less killing
basic common sense Title: Re: Despite Recent Massacres, Gun Control Remains A Pipe Dream. Post by: lakitss on 08 15, 12, 11:44:20:AM Innacurate assessment. People kill people.
Title: Re: Despite Recent Massacres, Gun Control Remains A Pipe Dream. Post by: caserio1 on 08 15, 12, 11:58:22:AM yeah sure
the theater shooter could have beaten all those people to death before he beat himself to death Title: Re: Despite Recent Massacres, Gun Control Remains A Pipe Dream. Post by: dondc on 08 15, 12, 12:15:16:PM People with guns do a lot of that killing.
Gun laws are a hot rail in America, no one is going there. The ones we have have huge loopholes and are not enforced. Title: Re: Despite Recent Massacres, Gun Control Remains A Pipe Dream. Post by: lakitss on 08 15, 12, 12:47:03:PM Murder is murder and the methods are irrelevant.
The sick mind is the real problem. The sickest minds want to disarm everyone leaving criminals smiling. Title: Re: Despite Recent Massacres, Gun Control Remains A Pipe Dream. Post by: dondc on 08 15, 12, 02:26:16:PM In America it is very relevant.

it's governments duty to keep all it's citizens safe, even those that do not carry how many times has cas been threatened if he were to show up in someones driveway ? that attitude is the basic attitude that too many people are proud of thus, americans need an attitude adjustment |
