...you're More Likely to Shoot a Loved One

A complete lie


Tell me where I have claimed that






It might be if it were TRUE, which it isn't


The gun owners to sink to any level of dishonesty to keep their toys.

Did not you claim to hold a CCW Permit?
 
Nope I can spell just fine.

They're debunked EXCUSES.

Naw, they are attacks upon the idiotic belief that the way to stop criminals is to punish those who don't commit crimes
 
The USA has too many gun deaths and wounds...because it has so many guns.

The gun control lobby's argument in a nutshell




More firearms = more gun deaths and injuries.

10,000 gun related homicides and 70,000+ injuries per year doesn't sound like the USA is as safe a place as you pretend it is




How else would you deal with the problem ?
How would you stop violent or stupid people being violent or stupid ?

Take away their guns and they're not as dangerous.




No more than a car, unattended, is going to run me over




No we have a problem with gun use

10k homicides, 70k+ injuries and mass shootings at almost one per day isn't a problem ?




I'd make them safer
Stay on topic




How many Japanese v Americans survive suicide attempts (I'd be willing to bet it's the Japanese)





If you're suicidal, and have a gun in the house, it's easier to attempt suicide and harder to survive an attempt





It's hard to think of a country with LESS gun control than the USA




That may be true
Are you suggesting that if violent and stupid people in the UK had guns, there would be less violent crime ?

If gang members had guns instead of knives ?




So bans the guns found to be responsible for gun deaths and injuries as well....then do your study





Are you arguing for legalizing cocaine (and for that matter meth, LSD and heroin) ?

Sounds like you accept guns are a "social problem"

But banning guns is a lot easier than banning alcohol when booze can be imported and even made in the back yard with a crude still. Try making a gun in your back yard or illegally smuggling a lump of plastic and metal into the USA




Excuse 3.1

They wouldn't be "law abiding" if they refused to obey a law to hand in their guns though.

I would imagine quite a lot of people would refuse and they'd face stiff fines - fines that'd go a long way to paying for the police/ATF operation to search and seize guns.

Guns would also become more and more useless as the supply of ammunition is turned off.




More gun deaths, not necessarily a violent country overall with so much peaceful rural/nature areas





Syria is a war zone - or haven't you heard ?




Move to a war zone ?

Would you tell, if you could, the 1776 founding fathers to move to another country if they didn't like the conditions here? If not why not? Then rethink your advice for the gun control lobby to relocate.




You mean evidence from English speaking, predominantly Anglo-Saxon countries like the USA that have recent experience in banning guns

Like the UK and Australia ?



There's a very low survival rate, like maybe 10%, of suicide attempts by firearm. Overall, 90% of suicide attempts are survived.
 
Nope I can spell just fine.

They're debunked EXCUSES.

They’ve never been debunked. The best the anti-rights crowd has done is pull a cranial anal inversion and say Nu-Uh then incorrectly claim victory.
 
Naw, they are attacks upon the idiotic belief that the way to stop criminals is to punish those who don't commit crimes

Banning Guns will prevent people from getting them as effectively as banning Herion has prevented people from getting that.
 
Nope.

But whats your point? Do you contend that prisoners don't escape US prisons?

But you said the laws dont apply to the cartels in the US. So clearly el chapo will be able to tunnel.out like he did in Mexico.


This is too easy. Lol
 
Why...

YOU are the one that keeps making a big deal that the US have more "gun deaths".. than the rest of the world..

Well.. you are right.. Syria has less gun deaths than the US... so when do you plan to move to Syria to be "safer".

Do you actually think Syria is safer than the US?

IF not.. well then.. it pretty much proves how useless your statistic of gun deaths is.

Dumbest post ever. Lol
 
Why would that be of interest to you ?

well I would find it hard to believe someone would go through the expense of getting a CCW and not own a single gun. You denied owning any firearms
 
There's a very low survival rate, like maybe 10%, of suicide attempts by firearm. Overall, 90% of suicide attempts are survived.

So if guns were banned/confiscated in the USA more people attempting suicide would survive.
 
I do hold one.

But you said I claim to own a gun. I have never claimed this. I do not claim it.

ok interesting semantics-do you own a gun-I think it is reasonable to assume someone who has a CCW has owned a firearm
 
No, they've been systematically debunked as false.

No they haven't at best the anti-rights crowd form a circle jerk am try to pass that off as debunking.
 
No, those excuses have been shown up as exactly that.

Excuses. All have been proven as false or "debunked".

By who and when did this alleged debunking take place?
 
In the gun control debate and by those arguing for gun control ?


Are you aware of a single valid reason to own a gun ?

Yes peraonal protection, recreation, exercising a right are all valid reasons. Can you find a single valid reason to bam guns from law abiding citizens?
 
No and no.

I have handled quite a few firearms in the past as part of my service in the British army.

you might be the only person I have ever encountered who has an active CCW license and doesn't own a firearm
 
In the gun control debate and by those arguing for gun control ?


Are you aware of a single valid reason to own a gun ?

yeah, because I like to shoot. and any reason why government agents are issued guns, is a valid reason for those to own them. Plus, the existence of those who want to forcibly take firearms away from honest people is a good reason to own them.

Beta O'Dourke is a good reason to own an AR 15
