Dec 2014

how arrogant to assume that every other country in the world that enacts gun control has it wrong. Australia passed gun control measures after a massacre (even their conservatives were on side) and they haven't had one since.

but looking for biased studies paid for by gun lobbyists is your idea of 'rational discussion'.

i know you are emotional about the thought of having all your guns taken away. i know the thought the more guns mean more gun deaths must as more cars would mean more car accidents. duh - fairly logical.

give your guns a nice loving embrace

It's not the truth. It's a complete lie. pablo_marmol Feb 2015 #241

Actually, evidence demonstrates that you are the one blatantly lying. pablo_marmol Dec 2014 #205

to you 175 respondents scrares you that all your guns will be taken away samsingh Dec 2014 #209

So you think banning guns is a good idea, or even feasible? LOL! pablo_marmol Feb 2015 #242

your posts have convinced me that i'm being too moderate in my thinking samsingh Feb 2015 #239

Right -- because quoting award-winning liberal criminologists is such a horrible thing. pablo_marmol Feb 2015 #243

Most civilized societies have sensible laws when it comes to guns and healthcare, in these two areas NoJusticeNoPeace Nov 2014 #177

Define "civilized society". kioa Nov 2014 #184

you are right samsingh Nov 2014 #198

very immature indeed samsingh Dec 2014 #210

The things you mention actually have uses other than to kill. angstlessk Nov 2014 #9

Irrelevant. kioa Nov 2014 #10

you are right - it requires some level of critical thinking to grasp the difference samsingh Nov 2014 #41

Not true. ileus Nov 2014 #61

Do you think there are more killed intentionally by bicycles than guns? Thinkingabout Nov 2014 #31

If only there was a law against intentionally killing people, amirite? kioa Nov 2014 #43

There are laws against intentionally killing people but it does not stop this Thinkingabout Nov 2014 #74

very good question samsingh Nov 2014 #45

Good Point. Thinkingabout Nov 2014 #75

Yet more accidental deaths from even bicycles than from firearms kioa Nov 2014 #89

accidental is an important word - and how many in each incident samsingh Nov 2014 #96

WW2 had more deaths than WW1. kioa Nov 2014 #113

your words are full of hate and fear samsingh Nov 2014 #135

How so? I'm not the one insisting on taking rights from innocent people, nor kioa Nov 2014 #143

no, you just don't want to do anything to stop innocent people from being killed by samsingh Nov 2014 #147

California, Chicago & DC show that gun bans has nothing to do with lowering kioa Nov 2014 #149

selective picking there. In fact, around the world stats show the opposite of your viewpoint samsingh Nov 2014 #150

You do have the attitude of the 1%. kioa Nov 2014 #154

Al Gore did win btw - you're giving yourself away - the supreme court stoogers stopped samsingh Nov 2014 #152

Al Gore would have been President if he had won his home state. kioa Nov 2014 #153

again, he won the election. it was stolen from him by the repugs samsingh Nov 2014 #170

Again. Gore would have been president if he had won his home state kioa Nov 2014 #173

i would thought anyone believing in democracy would be outraged samsingh Nov 2014 #174

You started your post accusing innocent people of causing slaughters. kioa Nov 2014 #175

i really don't think you're reading my posts - seems like you have something to say samsingh Nov 2014 #176

Al Gore would have won if Katherine Harris hadnt iillegaly struck 90,000 NoJusticeNoPeace Nov 2014 #179

oh boy NoJusticeNoPeace Nov 2014 #182

There are no accidental deaths from bicycles. Deaths of bike riders are typically caused-- eridani Nov 2014 #151

i think that's true. samsingh Nov 2014 #171

and more people die from old age. what's your point? samsingh Nov 2014 #33

My point was specifically stated in the post you responded to kioa Nov 2014 #37

your point makes no sense and would fail in logic 101 samsingh Nov 2014 #38

I disagree. kioa Nov 2014 #52

No, they're not. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #83

Regardless those objects irrefutably cause more deaths. kioa Nov 2014 #85

No, it tells me you like misleading statistics. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #87

Lethality causes death. kioa Nov 2014 #88

My SD revolver is in use nearly 1/3 of a year each year... Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #119

If you're not touching it, with your finger on the trigger, it's not in 'use'. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #120

That doesn't fly. A gun is in use when a cop or civilian Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #122

Having something 'ready' is not the same as 'in use'. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #123

Would you agree that fear of OC sarisataka Nov 2014 #126

When SD actions are calculated, shooting a gun... Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #127

i don't think guns are scrary - stop putting words in other people's mouth samsingh Nov 2014 #102

Sure you are. kioa Nov 2014 #106

the fact that i think gun lovers are many times stupid samsingh Nov 2014 #137

Most civilized societies dont have these silly arguments about bicycles and guns.. NoJusticeNoPeace Nov 2014 #180

Yet I still own 2 bikes...knowing they're dangerous. ileus Nov 2014 #65

Let's see, according to the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center, SheilaT Nov 2014 #79

Accidental shooting caused 606 deaths in 2010. kioa Nov 2014 #80

The non accidental ones don't count, I take it. SheilaT Nov 2014 #90

There is already a law against murder & lacking a firearm doesn't prevent suicides. kioa Nov 2014 #95

But lacking a firearm tends to drastically reduce the suicide rate and other murder rates. SheilaT Nov 2014 #125

Not having a gun doesn't drastically reduce suicide rate. kioa Nov 2014 #148

You realize sarisataka Nov 2014 #11

I realize she was criminally negligent with a deadly weapon. Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #16

Stay on task sarisataka Nov 2014 #24

a kid was able to get a hold of her gun and kill her with it - you don't see anything wrong with samsingh Nov 2014 #34

See post #24 sarisataka Nov 2014 #53

No, they do not, just an irresponsible gun owner, the gun is totally innocent. Breathtaking. Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #62

Who has stated sarisataka Nov 2014 #67

innocent implies sentience. the admission is that the gun is not an inanimate object samsingh Nov 2014 #97

It was not a "gun lover" sarisataka Nov 2014 #111

What? Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #116

A terrible tragedy sarisataka Nov 2014 #13

Such attitudes are despicable, but they are intrinsic to their argument. kioa Nov 2014 #14

NRA talking points...freedom to own deadly weapons and to die freely by them is death, not liberty. Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #15

Death by ignorance sarisataka Nov 2014 #26

You win the prize for being the first to utter the "NRA talking points" meme first. GGJohn Nov 2014 #29

"NRA talking points" is a VPC talking point. Straw Man Nov 2014 #93

Scissors are fine, not designed to kill and can not kill easily. Killing is child's play with guns, Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #117

I see that you are dodging the central issue ... Straw Man Nov 2014 #140

Killing is child's play when the child has a gun, it is not complicated. Just twitch a finger. Dead. Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #156

The child's finger should never be on the gun. Straw Man Nov 2014 #157

LOL, any other "inanimate object" that a child can use to kill so easily? Name one, there is nothing Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #158

WTF are you L-ing-OL about? Straw Man Nov 2014 #159

Everything you mention does not involve the use of a deadly weapon, get it? Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #160

Credit for honesty nt sarisataka Nov 2014 #112

Speaking of innocent people... sarisataka Nov 2014 #57

I see lots of frustration sarisataka Nov 2014 #114

On your body or locked up....safety first. ileus Nov 2014 #23

Safety first, do not own a deadly weapon like a gun, no death by gun. Simple even for the simpletons Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #30

I don't, I own life saving devices, hunting instruments, and target firearms. ileus Nov 2014 #32

the basic point is being missed samsingh Nov 2014 #36

neither will a pool noodle. ileus Nov 2014 #46

unless you get shot at in the back samsingh Nov 2014 #48

But, ileus, you posted you only have target and hunting guns...showing your paranoia now, at Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #54

When and where did I ever say I only owned two of the four types of firearms? ileus Nov 2014 #59

Post #32, dearee, so now you are going to add to your arsenal to justify your illogic? Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #60

Life saving devices = personal protection/self defense firearms. ileus Nov 2014 #63

My mistake, life saving devices to me means things like a life preserver or fire extinguishers... Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #64

Wouldn't it be hard? Sleeping in fear? ileus Nov 2014 #68
