Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 On 7/18/2014 at 11:25 PM, Bob in Mich said: Not everyone with a gun will fire it daily in anger. But if you are honest, you would have to admit if almost all adults are carrying weapons we will have more shootings of people than we have today. Stats to support this hypothesis?

As an example, the several colleges that permit open carry, rather than opperate as gun free zones, have the lowest rates of crime in the country.

The local high school here has a sign that says it's a drug-free zone. So it clearly this is true!

So, you really feel that if the entire population carried guns at all times, we would all be safer? Are you sure that you are considering shootings of jealously, rage, betrayal, mental illness, drunkeness, etc?. Consider the recent nights in Missouri for a moment. I have no link or stats to back this up but I feel there would be more dead if every person there was armed over this last week. You don't?

Bob in Mich, proponent of "data" when it comes to medical marijuana; feelings when it comes to gun control.

Bob in Mich Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 The link takes me to an article about gun shootings in Chicago. what is your point?

You're arguing that if more people in Ferguson had guns, morepeople would have been killed over the weekend. Chicago has, far and away, the strictest gun laws in the country, and routinely has more shootings, murders and youth killings every weekend than virtually other city in the country. People with guns isn't the problem. The wrong people with guns is the problem.

The big cat, who lives in Chicago, says, and I quote-"Every weekend unmarked vans with Alabama plates park in the middle of the road and unload crates of weapons" If that's true is that not the fault of local law enforcement ?

Wacka Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 gatotman, you provide us Republican conservatives with hours of rip-roaring laughter. The only way you could be more partisan is to have your lips sewn onto Obama's member. I have a reason for being silent the last few months, I washout of action with a stroke. Bob in Mich- the guns might not be so scary if people with medical marajauna "permits" were not allowed to have them.
