What is better, no guns, or more guns?

I know what I’m going to advocate won’t happen...but what if.

What if we flayed the guy and broadcasted it? What if we did that....if you do this kind of thing we’ll flay you and leave you to die of exposure. I don’t know if that’d have a lasting impact considering most of the times the shooter lays amongst the dead, but I honestly think it needs to be tried....but it won’t be because liberals cry at the talk of such things. 

Put him on trial, convict him and since it is Florida, feed him to the gators, and I don't mean the one that posts here. A live broadcast would be nice and a certain ratings bonanza.

Why not just go full "Running Man?"

How much do attribute to guns vs culture?

 

GG, surely culture is in the equation as are a number of factors but the number of guns is the overriding reason that the US has far more gun violence.  Many similar cultures have far lower gun violence rates.

 

This video dives into the numbers better than I could.

But the point is, where do the concessions end? Did you know in China you have to register your kitchen knives? Is that the line in the sand?

 

But even if we did, there is still that thing called the Second Amendment. Concessions don't mean a damn thing if they are Unconstitutional. 

 

Please understand this about me. I’m not willing to give up my guns. But I want this to stop. 

 

Cinga, what I’d do is force schools to hire properly screened vets. 

 

Cops are a joke and they’d spend more time in schools harassing children than anything else. 

 

Give me $40,000 (per) a year to pay a few mentally screened, physically capable vets from combat backgrounds. Put them in charge of school security. 

 

Cops are cowards. Vets aren’t. Vets will run to the sound of gunfire; cops will find reasons to “wait for swat.” 

 

Arm our schools with armed vets. There’s nothing grunts can’t do, and vets are all about keeping children safe. 

 

Those are the ideas we need to bring to the table.

Has gone ownership gone up in tandem with rising mass gun violence in the US in the last two generations?  Or has gun ownership remained steady?

 

Has anything else changed?

If you've got a point, don't be shy.  Speak up

 

If you are asking me to look into this and report back.  No

My questions should be very simple to comprehend, especially for someone who's arguing that guns and gun ownership are the primary contributors to rising mass shootings.

GG, I am trying to avoid the insult exchange, believe it or not.

 

If you have questions, rhetorically, why am I compelled to research and answer them?  Did you watch the video?  Was that question not addressed in the 18 charts?

You have to remember, Bob is intellectually lazy, and rejects out of hand information which doesn't report to his (unresearched) confirmation biases.

 

Bob isn't interested in your facts.  He'll ask you to do all the work, and then reject your evidence.

Well, well..........what about the narrative ?

 

WASHINGTON POST: No, there haven’t been 18 school shootings in 2018. That number is flat wrong.

 

 

 

‘This is a LIE’! Media get BUSTED for spreading this BOGUS gun control narrative (again) .....Regarding last years "repeal"

 

 

 

 

Kamala Harris didn’t get a reputation for being vapid and self-unaware for no reason … she’s worked very hard for it.

This cannot be a political issue. We have to have smart gun safety laws - our babies are being slaughtered.

Because he wouldn't be wrongly convicted like Ahnold was.

But, the gambling and ad revenue for the states would be off the charts...

Far superior than just having a gator eat the guy, IMHO. :P

He doesn't need facts.  All he needs are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and he's fine...

You didn't answer me, are you an elementary school teacher?  That is the only way I can imagine this claim is possible.  Geez, please tell me you don't have that up on a sign in your toddler's classroom.  That would not be right.

Oh good, another fudd.  So in order for a rifle to be an assault rifle, it has to be selective fire.  How difficult is it to obtain a selective fire weapon?

 

"Assault weapon" is still a term invented by politicians.  Hence why it's different in different jurisdictions.

 

Don't bother - that's another one of Gatorman's alternate aliases.

Bob, your inability to form internally logically consistent arguments, to process new information, and even to read would be hilarious so long as you don't have the ability to pass any of your compromised genetics along to another generation.  Any shot your drug habit has down graded your ability to procreate?

 

No matter.

 

Your arguments, buttressed with a staggering unwillingness to learn and complete lack of coherency, are so poor that they serve as comparative illustrations in favor of the person arguing against you.  You bring an immense value to those holding opposing positions because you consistently help them make their case far better than they could make on their own.

 

You're an Abbott.  If you didn't exist on your own, I'd be tempted to invent you.

It's called the Socratic method.  :wallbash:
