A study released in July by Everytown for Gun Safety estimated that gun violence produces “an economic consequence” of $557 billion a year, including long-term medical care, criminal justice system resources, lost wages, lower worker productivity, and diminished quality of life for victims and their families.

Guns have become a public menace.

No, and this is the problem with your generalization, guns in and of themselves are not a problem until some asshole, or mentally unstable person uses them illegally. The overwhelming majority of gun owners are law abiding citizens that practice safe firearms use and storage.

Yes we know that no one anywhere on this forum can make any statement about guns without you giving your oft repeated opinion.

Your opinion has been entered into the record. You may now refer to this or any other post of yours on the topic and say "see, I've already said this".

In the meantime, the rest of my post is not an opinion and is not up for debate.

That man deserves an extremely harsh jail sentence and to never own firearms again.

While there is no evidence whatsoever that even A majority of gun owners are law abiding and you're just pulling that out of your ass. The reality is that the guns ARE the problem. Some asshole with a machete is unlikely to kill multiple people. Can it happen? Sure it could but it would happen less. No three year old ever killed their parent playing with a gun, or their friend or themselves. From what we know about suicide it would save a lot of lives that way as well.

Why not stick to the truth, you don't care how many people die. You're just worried that someone on the Left will accomplish what Trump attempted and end democracy.

You're a one trick pony. Apparently facts are just too much for you to handle so the only thing you can do is argue.

In the meantime feel free to address any of the statistics I posted.

You've got nothing. You're just afraid of black and brown people.

The racists are using fear to arm the entire nation against an amorphous boogeyman, unleashing an irrational wave of gun violence.

I had you slotted as left-leaning.

You don't think there's a wave of gun violence? If there is, wouldn't it be rational? Maybe that's a typo.

It's irrational to stoke conflict and arm so many civilians with high kill-power weapons. The more we proliferate gun sales and fear, the more we kill each other and ourselves. Murder and suicide are not the basis for a sustainable society.

If "left-leaning" has come to mean seeking a society based on rationality, count me in. No typo.

 

[Lazaran]

The “republicans” facilitate the unregulated proliferation of guns, then say it’s pointless to regulate all guns and ban certain guns to address the gun violence epidemic because there’s too many of them.

Neat trick.

SAD!!!

You care about how many white middle class people die but don't give a fuck about inner city gun violence and deaths.

Aw, no response so you run and hide. Funny how you love the race card until your hypocrisy is shown.

I have common sense and nobody in the US is a law abiding citizen. That's a myth that we like to believe. You never watched a movie from when people would sneak camcorders into theaters? Never fudged the numbers on your taxes? Never jaywalked? Never went shopping and didn't realize you'd left your candy bar in the cart? Never pissed in public? Hell were you and your partner both of age when you lost your virginity? I think not.

I didn't say a thing about race you did. However getting guns out of the hands of Americans across the board or at least having better background checks (for all the good it would do), training and strict consequences for using a gun in a crime it would by definition lower the amount of deaths in the inner city. The harder something is obtain legally the harder and more expensive it is to get illegally. You NEVER hear about a criminal putting out mines or using grenades. And the scary part is we know they are out there because when I was in Recruit Training and we got to throw a grenade, which was the biggest disapointment of my life, we had to stay until all of them had been used because too many Marines were selling the extras. MAybe they are being sold to cartels or something but if someone set off a grenade in the States you'd know. But that doesn't happen. When was the last time you heard about an Uzi being used? You don't.

However when you pull your "I'm not a racist card" but you go straight "You only care about white people being shot and not "inner city" which is polite for black and brown people. Its super obvious. At this point I believe that not all conservatives are racists, HOWEVER knowing someone is just out and out racist isn't a deal breaker. Don't tell me about something Biden said decades ago that someone dug up. Not when you supported Trump.

Carrying a firearm while under the influence of alcohol is illegal, even in Idaho. So much for 95% of hunters.
