"gun violence" is a misnomer

[lurchadams]

Never said it didn't,however I have a sense of self preservation that over rides anytime to be bothered if someone is out to kill me or a loved one. Apparently you don't.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I don't care about me or my loved ones. Way to twist my words. If you choose to be a lying drama queen when we talk about guns feel free.

I prefer to be real, not an emotional train wreck over guns like you are.

No, he had the French for that technical stuff. Until he won.

The fact of the matter is he did win and we don't want to be like your country.

Not twisting any words just saying how it is. Personally I would prefer alive over your "emotional train wreck over guns" you seem to be.

"Gun control that has passed" would typically refer to gun control passed by legislation, not by upheld by an appellate court. If the latter is what you meant, your terminology was non-standard and therefore easy to be misconstrued.

Gun control that has passed constitutional muster dude.

Get a grip.

Well George Washington would've had to have been a ballistic expert for the ballistics at the time, what with him being a general and all.

I said; with respect to the second amendment: Washington was out of the room at the time.

How many times have you had to repel armed instituters in your home ?

How many car wrecks have you been in where, if you weren't wearing a seat belt, would've been killed?

I've been in one.

I recall when I was a teenager at a carnival. One of the swindler carnies pulled out a gun on me. He didn't point it at me, but still I perceive that experience as a victim of "gun violence".

In the words of Ronald Reagan (who wouldn't even make it through a Republcan Primary today) -

My comment above was that I feel like I was a victim of gun violence. And then I get a deflected response. Sorry, but this wasn't "blunt instrument violence". It was GUN VIOLENCE. --- "If a criminal pulls a gun on you, or a knife, or a blunt instrument, he's not a person of good will. There is no reason to deny a law abiding citizen the ability to defend themselves both in and out of their homes."

If you get hit by a drunk driver are you a victim of car violence?

Hey, you provided the the Reagan meme; did you not think anyone would respond to it?

Was this carnie legally carrying? Was he a perwon of good will? I carry quite often and have never pulled a gun on an innocent person. Why are you conflating criminals with law abiding citizens?

I've been in one.

Me too-1983, well below Zero on the ground, rain coming from above freezing skies. Rain froze on contact. Driving a two seat lincoln. Roadway truck jackknifed when some drunk driver spun out of control. Hit the back of the Truck at over 60MPH

I would suggest because to many gun banners-the real crime is advocating and exercising gun ownership. That is what motivates so much of the anti gun movement-hatred of our political leans and the way we vote.
