I didn't respond because all of your words are useless when all of this gun violence keeps happening and your answer is more guns and more violence. We are probably the only country in the world that doesn't have to worry about our government, yet we act as if we are at war with them...
States with stricter gun control laws have fewer deaths from gun-related violence.
Last year, economist Richard Florida dove deep into the correlations between gun deaths and other kinds of social indicators. Some of what he found was, perhaps, unexpected: Higher populations, more stress, more...
Misdirection, and irrelevance. I never said not to pay attention to what they are doing or voting on. I said that it was their jobs. The danger in America is people not caring for other people, selfishness, greed, and misplacing blame... as I said earlier, a number of times, guns are not the...
Who had an idea? I criticized no one for a real idea, read the posts. I did make fun of stupidity. I started this thread to keep the conversation going about a real problem that we are having. I never said that I have all of the answers, but we all need to acknowledge that there is a...
The only reasons that the U.S. military ever looses any war, since Korea, is because we don't go all out. We could wipe out whole countries if we didn't care about politics and public opinion. I'm not even talking about nuclear weapons. You see I am not anti-gun, I'm anti-idiot...
First: You are right, only fools let the NRA tell them how to vote. (Congress, NRA members, etc...)
2nd: Both should not be regulated. We need to give them mental exams...
Our society is screwed up. We look at sex as being bad, and violence as being good...
You act like that's a good thing. It is not. There is no "real" good reason for that. Hunters usually only use one bullet at a time. Only killers, and survivalist clowns want more then that... not counting people that use it for "real" security/police/military duties.
You are wrong. All felonies are not reported to the FBI, they are put in a database that the FBI has access to. I know this because I once worked in an HR Department, and part of my job was to send to the FBI for backgrounds on employees in certain jobs. It took about 30 days to get back, and...
Ten days is only good for in state checks... It takes longer to check every county, state, and federal database. It is getting better, but we are not there yet... The FBI doesn't even have instant access to all databases... the bureaucracy is standing in the way.
Right now I can walk down the street, fill out a one page app, wait ten days, then go kill 100 people... in 10 minutes. That sounds to easy to me. Only a criminal background check, that really takes about 30 days to complete, so I get the gun before it is completed. No, check to see if you...
