How many dead innocent children is your right to own guns worth?

[Hard_Rom]

Zero!

 

[BotanyBoy]

We have a serious over population issue, need to put some commas up on that poll....and pass guns out to everyone, worldwide.

Everyone should be more M'urican it's the green thing to do.

In fairness, i think we've fairly well established nobody believes there is a connection between the two. When nothing happened after sandyhook, and no electrical changes came in the following cycle, the 'gun debate' ended.

I don't recall the initial source for that observation, but s/he nailed it. We can whine or cheer at our individual whim, but once the country demonstrates it can handle an elementary school being shot up, the point is settled.

Planned parenthood and an office party? We'll forget about them in a week.

It is

Zero.

7-year-old girl killed at MI soccer practice after ‘paranoid’ man with concealed carry license opens fire

7-year-old girl died at soccer practice Thursday night and a family friend who had been experiencing paranoia is accused of shooting her in the head before taking his own life.

Emma Nowling and her mother, Sharon Watson, were shot after the little girl’s soccer practice session at the Taylor Sportsplex in Michigan. Watson is listed in serious but stable condition, while Nowling died Thursday night after suffering head injuries, MLive.com reports. Authorities describe the suspect, Timothy Nelson Obeshaw, as a family friend who had a concealed carry permit and a legally-purchased gun.

Police say a 9 mm pistol recovered from the shooting scene was registered to Obeshaw.

The man had recently been experiencing paranoia, thought someone was out to get him and believed someone was trying to control him through mind control, Taylor police Chief Mary Sclabassi told MLive.

Maybe they should have a PSA about Paranoia and other Mental Health problems?

1 is too many, but for every child killed by a gun, 100 will be killed in their mothers car. Women must be banned from driving, to stop the carnage of blood & steel on the highways, ease congestion and save the planet by removing the 1/3 of cars off the roads that continue to flagrantly hog the left hand commuting lane (formerly known as the passing lane).

How many children's lives are worth a woman's right to drive?

Can we start with something easier? Like standing in a circle and shouting elements. As the black guy I claim Earth.

Annual United States Road Crash Statistics

Over 37,000 people die in road crashes each year
...
Over 1,600 children under 15 years of age die each year

Comes close to gun deaths.

BTW: Germany had 3377 road crash deaths in 2014. By a quarter of your population, and no speed limit on the highway.

You need bigger numbers.

Go hide under your bed and pray the cops keep you and your kids safe.

With gun locks and quick entry safes there is no excuse for a kid firing a firearm.

Yeah. I am unrepentant. I and millions like me will always have firearms even if we have to make them ourselves.

The ONLY way to stop us is to kill us. Other than that we are law abiding citizens when the law lets us...

We are going to start electrocuting people????

The gun debate never ended. It just went silent until "the next big thing" happened. It's the way it always is. Our legislators are funded by special interest groups - they are bought and paid for before they are even elected.

The American Dream, I guess.

History has proven that to be true...

So you're only law abiding citizens when you feel like it....LOL

 

[FGB]

Is not everyone?

What I was referring to is the thousands of unnecessary laws, rules and regulations that the average citizen never knew when they were created .

Not my fault you have the mind of an outlaw...

You don't have to hide under a bed just because you are not armed. To go about your daily life and not have to worry about being armed to be safe has a lot to be said for it. You don't pray the police keep you safe, you PAY the police to keep you safe.

You do not need guns to be safe from criminals or the government. I live in a country that is living proof you can have be relatively safe from both. All the other Anglo nations are free democracies without massive levels of gun ownership and enjoy much less crime associated with guns. There are no numbers which prove that gun ownership means safety. In fact the opposite. Accidents and suicide risks go up significantly.

With no guns there is NO chance of a kid firing a firearm.

"With no guns there is NO chance of a kid firing a firearm."
I think this is one of the best anti-gun arguments that I've heard.

Texas alone is twice as big as Germany.

Idiots are so easily willing To take away the rights, that are founding fathers gave to us. teach your children properly and keep your guns in a safe place away from children. there is no perfect world, but you take away our guns, then the only ones that will have guns will be, your criminals, your government and the idiots that want to just kill people, because their head isn't screwed on right. Our founding fathers Created this country, with their visions. America is like a wife, love her or leave her.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Then why did they leave us the ability to institute our own after they had gone?

Says what?

We got more than 3 times more people than Texas. Says what?

Berlin got as many inhabitants as Kentucky. We got 35 people dead out of guns, Kentucky got 116.

Says what?

They figured that sooner or later people like Obama would come along and we would have to get back on track.
