ChiGoose Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 2 minutes ago, KDIGGZ said: Thank you for including that last sentence which blows up your entire argument. Most gun deaths are self inflicted and have nothing to do with what I'm discussing. I'm talking about the exact situation we just saw in CO where someone walked into a place knowing nobody there had a gun and it was like target practice unfortunately. If the bouncers were armed do you think he even gets in the door? Bad guys will always have guns. Laws only stop good guys from having them too. #1 for gun deaths = Chicago which has probably the strictest gun laws in the entire USA. NY has the 2nd strictest gun laws of any state and that didn't stop someone from driving from 3 hours away and going into Tops and shooting up the place. And the latest one in CO where strict gun laws and mag limits exist and they admit that the red flag laws didn't work to stop anything except for the good guys from having a gun of their own for protection. I have a gun on me at all times even as they are trying to ban them from every single business and make it a felony to carry which is unconstitutional. And because of NY laws I would not be allowed to use it unless I could prove in court that my life was in danger and there is absolutely no way of me getting out of the situation otherwise. So even if I did need to use it I would be in jail for months for doing nothing wrong and then be on trial for murder. Better that then be dead I suppose, but these laws are just not common sense. Bad guys have guns so good guys need guns. It's not hard to understand Once again, the good guys with guns scenario almost never happens even in a country with guns everywhere. And thanks for bringing up Chicago, which actually refutes your argument. Most of the guns used in crime here come from Indian, Wisconsin, and other states. What Chicago proves is that we need effective national gun laws or else criminals will just buy guns in lax states to use in stricter states. There are potential solutions that don’t involve taking away everyone’s guns but we’ll never be able to implement them because “responsible gun owners” will continue to oppose them. So we’ll either just go on being a final embarrassment or it’ll finally boil over and the government will end up confiscating guns. All because the “2A” people simply don’t care if their fellow Americans are gunned down. 1 minute ago, Chef Jim said: Would this point towards we have more of a mental illness problem than a gun problem? Nope, still a gun issue. People who survive suicide attempts rarely end up dying by suicide. The attempt occurs during a drastically awful moment in their lives and if they get through that, they generally end up living a productive life. Non-firearm methods of suicide like pills or cutting end up in death something like 5-20% of the time. Firearm attempts are closer to 95%. Bottom line: if the person in crisis doesn’t have access to a gun in that moment, they most likely will not die by suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not pro-life, they are pro-death. Forced Birth? Absolutely hilarious how creative the Left has gotten with language. Wouldn’t suicide then be a solution to “forced existence”?

I'm not just talking suicides. 16 minutes ago, BillStime said: You’re right Jim - it’s too big of challenge for us to take on so let’s just sacrifice more lives because it’s too hard. F that Billy. I'm looking for a serious adult conversation from you. I'm not saying we don't take on the challenge. Your solution is to get rid of all guns. Yes this will solve the problem.

Big Blitz Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Is this another leftist circle ***k before they have all the facts? To the surprise of absolutely no one. Remember folks - it went from just “assault rifles” to ban all guns. The logical conclusion of legit every single leftist policy is 1984. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Step 1) Blame Ultra MAGA White Supremacist Christian Nationalists. Step 2) If as facts reveal themselves if killer is white go back and repeat step 1 if not go to step 3 Step 3) Transition focus to the gun not the shooter and go to step 4 Step 4) Blame the availability of guns on Ultra MAGA White Supremacist Christian Nationalists 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aren’t you the brilliant one. 🙄 How about we’d reduce mass shootings is we did something that we actually could have happen. Increasing the ability to see these red flags and get people better access to mental healthcare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increasing the ability to see these red flags and get people better access to mental healthcare. The thing that’s really frustrating about these discussions is that they only occur after mass shootings, which, while awful and far too frequent, represent only a fraction of gun deaths. If we truly valued lives, we’d have a discussion on all gun deaths and how they can be prevented. There are steps between “take all the guns away” and “muh freedoms” that would actually save lives. But it requires us talking about the actual issue and not scapegoating mental health as if we are the only country with mentally ill people.

Lol just like they did with drugs? I can get drugs faster than I can get a Happy Meal. You are living in quite the fantasy world. There will always be bad guys with guns just like there will always be bad guys with drugs and bad guys with knives etc etc. There are bad people in this world. Knowing that don't you think good guys should be able to protect themselves? Or should I go to jail on a felony just for carrying concealed into a Walmart?
