I can't imagine it myself but you and tibs just wallow in this stuff like a pig in mud. Lay blame, point fingers, even laugh, meanwhile little children, innocent children, have had their lives taken. You have no intelligent solutions only rhetoric. How many more innocent people need to die for our leaders to move on this issue? At this point - the people YOU VOTE FOR are holding up ANY MEANINGFUL legislation around gun violence. Since YOUR chosen candidates continue to slow walk any meaningful change - we are left to HOLD YOU responsible for YOUR VOTE. Own it - embrace it - WE THE PEOPLE. PS: Where are your solutions?

And most methods of suicide have a completion rate of 10% or less. Suicide attempts by guns are 90%+ effective. I never said that. I've lost two people to suicide. The point is, self inflecting gunshots should have a separate category. More people die (suicides) using other methods than a firearm. But looking at firearms, Texas has a HIGH number of firearms and a low suicide rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad fact is guns or no guns, Americans are a very violent people and our civil and social order are breaking down as a result of all the wars and conflicts brought to us by the Washington uni-party, Hollywood & video game industry violence peddling, and a general breakdown in family and civil order along with a failing educational system. Blame who you want but that's where it stands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be loop holes and an illegal market will develope because the business of gun production is big business. Drugs are illegal and every school is filled with them and many more kids die from drugs. Nobody cares. The Right creates courts that are too tough at times putting everyone in prison and lifelong criminals, and the Left too lenient on drug, guns immigration and gangs. This is far more complicated than banning a gun and a phoney background check. Consider the US has the biggest gun problem and drug problem on the planet... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hang up, let's explore your logic here My logic is that why should our government be allowed to produce massive amounts of weapons but keep them from us. How is that fair and equitable. So government can control ALL weapons and can put these weapons in the hands of who they choose, while us peasants are sent off to work to PAY for these weapons? It's apples to apples.

B-Man Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I agree with Ben Shapiro @benshapiro "Common sense gun reform" is in reality what the Left wrongly believes "thoughts and prayers" is for the Right: an empty phrase denoting "I care" but without any actual problem-solving content. Not one of the "common sense gun reform" proposals the Left proposes would stop shootings like Uvalde. They know this. So instead, they make absurd claims suggesting that the mere fact of action of any type will magically reduce shootings (see, e.g., Sen. Murphy). .

Of course our army, navy and Marines will have weapons to defend the nation. And while I understand guns are here to stay, it would be better if there were fewer guns. A lot fewer. I wish Russia had fewer weapons, too 6 minutes ago, B-Man said: I agree with Ben Shapiro @benshapiro "Common sense gun reform" is in reality what the Left wrongly believes "thoughts and prayers" is for the Right: an empty phrase denoting "I care" but without any actual problem-solving content.

I do own quite a few firearms (again, I compete long distance) and not one has ever hurt anyone. Well, I did get a copper jacket frag in my arm shooting once.
