You jump in here and start behaving like I was talking to you when I posted. I wasn't.You jumped into a discussion I was a party to, without being invited.
I don't give a crap who you were talking to.
That should clarify things for you a bit.
Uhhh... did you not bother studying the issue in the OP?No, of course not. I'm an idiot.
Now, is anybody around here advocating a ban on FIREARMS?
Will studying the OP provide me with the answer to that? I guess it might. The answer would appear to be NO. Are you seeing something different?
Prosperity and education are far better solutions than bans.So is the magic cloak of invisibility; nobody'd ever get shot if nobody could see them, right?
And of course no prosperous educated person ever uses a firearm to cause harm. Hahahaha.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/thatcher_colin/It took almost 16 months for Regina police to gather enough evidence to charge Colin Thatcher with first-degree murder in the killing of his ex-wife, JoAnn Wilson. She was beaten and shot in the head in the garage of her home on Jan. 21, 1983.
That one was a very wealthy, rather powerful politician up on this side of the border. Quite well educated, I'm sure.
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/11/02/helmuth-dies.htmlOntario multimillionaire Helmuth Buxbaum, convicted in 1986 for arranging his wife's murder in one of the decade's most lurid trials, has died. He was 67.
... The Crown's case focused on money, saying that nearly $2 million had disappeared from Buxbaum's bank account and that he had recently taken out a $1-million life insurance policy on his wife.
She was found shot in the head three times on July 5, 1984, on a highway near London.
That one was so rich and powerful that he got the local municipal council to expropriate my uncle's house so he could expand his nursing home empire on the property.
Just two that come to mind. When all else failed in their attempts to get rid of their wives, guns did the trick.
Meanwhile, back on planet earth, what would you be saying to the people getting robbed and intimidated and having their children killed in the crossfire between all those unprosperous uneducated people while they wait for prosperity and education to descend from the heavens?
Suck it up, I imagine. Prosperity and education are just around the corner. The gun lobby is going to make sure that the political party who will bring them to you gets elected this time. Meanwhile, join us in wringoug our hands and shedding crocodile tears about the dreadful things all those unprosperous and educated people get up to when they have ready access to firearms. And don't ever stop for a minute to consider how things might be if they did not have ready access to firearms.
Other than that, you have a serious comprehension problem.You wish.
