If you really want to unravel stupid **** try not linking a CNN article. There’s generally nothing more stupidly ****** than a CNN article.
Umm, what was the Civil War, World War 1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam?
I watched a documentary about how those statistics were gathered and they are not correct. The method used to gather the data was bogus.
How much do you really think our homicide rate would really drop? We’re a violent country..
you know what?? ... your right ... if you can't stomach a school getting shot up or other mass shootings occurring on the reg then you clearly aren't American and can get the hell out
I will go back to my earlier point.
I can go to a car dealer and buy a car that will hit 180. I cant buy a rocket car that will set a record at bonneville.
Its not about need, its about want. If I work for it and i want it, its no ones damn business but my own so long as I use it for legal purposes.
Huge difference between a 5.56 round and C4 or an rpg. Lets stay somewhat grounded here.
I had a good friend killed by a drunk driver. Didnt make me want to ban cars and booze.
The thing about these threads is that gun grabbers will never change their minds. And I damn sure wont change mine.
Same purpose as my assault car I described above. It’s a blast to drive now and then. Not comfortable enough to drive daily or take on long trips, but looks cool and is a great conversation object. Sometimes after a stressful day, it’s a blast to take the cover off and go out on the open road and go.

So many desirable places to move to...
Politicians have made marijuana illegal. Illegal to buy, use, or possess. Yet somehow, a few people on our Husker team found a way to get a hold of some. How could this happen?
Care to give us the numbers for countries to the south?
Interestingly they don't put any of our neighbors to the south in those statistics. I seem to recall thousands of people getting hacked to death by machetes in Rwanda a few years back. Where's Rwanda in the list. Taking guns away from people will only make them resort to other means to carry out their fantasies. Any kid worth his salt can figure out how to make pipe bombs.
Wondered where the source was posted on that page... CNN?
VERY tiny print? Color me a skeptic...Sad... can’t trust media. Tired of reading some reporter’s opinion. Started w analysis of politicals speeches on TV years ago and has grown to fill their 24/7 news.
I ‘waste’ so much time reading EVERYTHING to get a glimmer of the truth. Found myself down a rabbit hole reading about the Kardashians, dang it!
Personally, I don’t care about guns. Whether you have one or not, love them/hate them, I don’t mind either way. I enjoy shooting them, but I don’t own any. But let’s not forget the sole function of a gun is to kill. I’ve seen the argument of “well a car goes 180mph, should we ban cars??” That argument is an incorrect comparison, as a car is a mode of transportation, and it’s function isn’t meant to kill things.
Just know that for every right you have to have guns and to shoot them off at cans and animals, it’s the same right for a crazy person to use that same gun and shoot up a country music festival. If you want to use an AR to shoot a deer from high up in a tree instead of going after it with a knife like a man, then so be it. Let it be clear though that a gun’s sole function is to kill.

I want the AR over the spray & pray AK. I want accuracy although the AK wins for being damn near indestructible.
So you’re back to arguing rare occurrence shootings in America? Our numbers certainly aren’t high because of school shootings. Want to stop school shootings? Arm the damn school and that problem disappears. We’re willing to use armed guards for our money but not our children?
That idea is perverse as ****. Sure, turn schools into places that need armed guards. THAT makes sense.
If all gun and ammunition sales were made illegal in the United States tonight, do you think this generation would stop shooting up their classmates?
No, but do you think that would go a long way towards solving the problem of frequent mass shootings at some point in the future?
And I am not advocating for that, by the way, I'm just asking a question in return.
My opinion is that it would not. But it's my opinion only.
Given today's reality, I'm very glad that our school district has armed sheriffs in the schools full time during school hours. I believe that is one very common sense measure to take among many others, given the fact that kids seem to be increasingly likely to attempt to send large numbers of their classmates home in body bags.

True, Fox has become complete brain fluff. I read both, plus about 5 other news feeds and between all of them you can get one or two useful nuggets...
That is very wrong. That absolutely does not work.
Case 1: Parkland. The armed police officer fled and hid.
Case 2: The garlic festival: Police actually responded and killed the shooter within 1 minute of him opening fire. He still killed three people. In ONE minute.
I could go on. That idea is a dipshit, ******* crazy NRA talking point and it needs to be destroyed. Now, I am understanding of the idea that sportsmen and women wants guns for target practice, competition, heritage, and for hunting. I think reasonable accommodations can be made for that kind of thing. What needs to be eliminated from the dialogue is the notion that "controls" are "more guns." No, they aren't. Controls need to be restrictions on guns.
Start with universal background checks. Start with a national database of gun owners. Start by a federal buyback program on certain categories of weapons. Start by restricting access to guns. Start by suing the living ******* **** out of gun manufacturers. Oh, and start by dismantling the current version of the NRA and turning it back into a sportsman's organization with almost zero political agenda other than a mild interest in protecting the rights of gun owners and enthusiasts in certain categories of activities, like hunting, which is what it was for years.
After these things happen, I would imagine our statistics will start to become a little less crazy, and law-abiding gun owners would notice almost nothing different in their gun-owning lives.
Again, you support the idea that money is more important than our children.
Ban guns so then those who don’t give a **** about legislature are the only ones to have them..
Gun free zones are the answer...
Those stats they use are cherry picked statistics that should never be taken seriously..
