Re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]
And there's the problem - what liberals (and the governments and populations of every other first-world democracy on the planet) see as common sense - required registration, required safety training, restriction of firearms and magazines that have no purpose in the civilian community - YOU see as "harassment"...
...never mind that in EVERY first-world democracy around the world today, where that "harassment" is found, the society is MUCH less violent...and far fewer innocent people are murdered. Pick a first-world democracy - ANY first-world democracy - other than America, and what do you find? That it's a heck of a lot SAFER to walk down the streets at night than it is in America...
...and this holds true even in nations with significantly larger Muslim populations than our own (for those Islamophobes out there).
But I forget - going through even a little bureaucratic hassle to legally own guns is TYRANNYYYYYYY!!!!! But if thousands more innocent men, women, and children die because we've got more guns than people in America, well, THAT's quite acceptable, 'cause freedom, y'know!
complete nonsense. your numbers game is based on false premises that good people having lots of guns is a problem. and your calls for gun control are based on your dislike of the politics of the people you perceive to be gun owners. and when we ask you what would be "effective gun control" you don't answer with solutions to criminals or nutcases getting guns but you want stuff that harasses law abiding gun owners-which of course is the goal of those who push gun control for political paybacks
your comments about the NRA is the standard nonsense from ban guns inc-trying to pretend the NRA is a spokesman for the gun industry--this is both false and the standard talking point of the brady bunch etc
