We've never attempted deporting people back to Africa, either.

 

Of the two solutions, mine actually has a chance of lowering gun violence rates in this country.

 

Well, have to give it to you, this is the first honest counter-argument — just plain old-fashioned racism. It's going out of style, just like the attitudes of most of the old baby boomer white men that populate this board.

 

 

How do we "improve" gun control, LA? As an aside, what is your position on marijuana legalization?

 

 

What is gun control to you? Bullet points would be nice. Aaaaaaaaaaaand GO!

 

As much as I appreciate the attention, this is not about me specifically. My goal in this situation is purposefully broad in an effort to reach agreement, even if its tenuous. I'm not going to take the bait of offering my solutions so you can be like "psssh" and dismiss them and go back to feeling like you're right because you out-shouted me on the Internet. A LOT OF PEOPLE are calling for stronger gun restrictions. I am not the only person wanting this change. I would at the moment settle for additional research and consideration instead of such entrenched positions of "IT'LL NEVER WORK!" I've said this multiple times already but I think if people largely agree guns are a problem and there are possible solutions, then we'll get there. Admitting the problem is the first step. You guys still refuse to admit guns are a problem.

 

Instead, I think you should just consider the point. Just go do some reading that you might not otherwise do.

 

Here's some reading to consider the enormity of the problem and the obstacles in place. What can be done about it? Nothing? All possible preventive measures are stupid?

Here's your response:

"HAW!! See, tolja, he ain't got no solutions. Just another wacko libtard idiot. Pay him no attention."

 

But then again that's your response to everything. Try curiosity for a change.

Oh and BTW I just want to point out the LA Grant referred to guns as:

 

Portable Death Machines. :lol:

 

Carry on.

 

Careful observers will notice I am sometimes intentionally funny even in the midst of argument. I appreciate someone pointing this out.

Was he referring to the AK-47s or the SUV?

Just checking....are Tom and the NRA still responsible now that we know it was a coordinated Islamic terrorist attack? Or do I need to address this in the terrorism thread?

However guys with little tiny penises and monsters under the bed will fight even those types of limitations, which are just common sense.

 

I never bought into the concept posted by others here that you have the mental capacity of a fourth grader, but then you have to go ahead and prove them right with childish idiocy like this.

 

Is it any wonder you gravitate towards someone like LA Grant.

Nope. You've gotten that 100% wrong. I've never ever referred to anyone as a libtard. Nice try.

I think we need to outlaw plumbing supplies because pipe bombs were found.

 

Maybe that's ISIS goal? Move everyone back to the 7th century.

I would like someone to tell me what law is NOT on the books in California that would have kept this couple from buying their guns.

 

We'll wait.

If you don't offer solutions and how you'd implement them in US, why bother? You keep repeating yourself over and over. Just because there are like-minded individuals who believe gun violence sucks, doesn't mean they have any realistic way to curb it.

 

If you have a solution, present it. Let's talk about it. Let's discuss its merits, and its flaws. You aren't engaging in intelligent discourse, you're proselytizing. You don't want to formulate an argument or change someone's mind with a rational, logical argument, rather convert folks to scream at the top of their lungs that something must be done, even if no one knows what that something is. You want mindless drones who have no thoughts other than non-productive outrage. You are a contributor to some of the biggest problems in the West today.

Must be why our country is on such an upswing lately.

Oh come on, you would be ok with us having the same gun laws as most European countries?

 

Sure. Let's go with Switzerland's laws: they give semi-automatic rifles to people.

 

Or maybe, just maybe, it's not as simple as "Let's do what somebody else does!"

How else will little thoughts get inside gator's head then?

Probably not. They had indoor plumbing back then.

They also provide training before they give them out, an important distinction! Not any fool can get one like in our country.

So the problem with gun violence is the use of the gun and not the person using the gun?

 

Are you saying the people yesterday should have been better trained so they would have been more effective in their mission?

Posted

If only the killers yesterday were better trained, huh?

Hahaha, knew this was coming. I would say that it seems like we may agree that not everyone should have a gun. Crazy idea!

Not according to history as told by Mel Brooks.
