Strong additional point to add to mine.5) Dismiss how government fails to enforce fully the existing firearms acquisition and possession laws already on the motherfucking books. How's about we give that a try before we pass some more specious bullshit "feel-good" handjob legislation.
The answers suggested by the federalies and the Zukerburgians are not good sort of like telling us the bar is doing a good job policing lawyersDo you support social media policing?
Give me a one word answer....yes or no?
So non answerThe answers suggested by the federalies and the Zukerburgians are not good sort of like telling us the bar is doing a good job policing lawyers
Depends where you are. Public transit in Singapore was wonderful. Clean. On time. Polite. Crime free. A large part of whether these things work well or not are cultural.Public transportation is not only an eyesore, but it depends on peace to function. Any conflict targets infrastructure and once public transit is destroyed or disrupted, any society which depends upon it for goods/services will soon fall.
All tools make jobs easier, that's why they exist.And you dismiss that guns make it easier for mentally ill people to kill others
1. William English Study (2021):
- Title: "Defensive Gun Use in the United States"
- Published by: Georgetown University
- Key statistic: Estimated 1.67 million defensive gun uses annually
- Additional details:
- 81.9% of defensive gun uses did not involve firing the weapon
- 50.9% involved handguns, 56.8% occurred in or near the home
2. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Report (2013):
- Title: "Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violence"
- Key statistic: Estimated 500,000 to 3 million defensive gun uses annually
- Note: This wide range reflects the uncertainty and variability in different studies reviewed
3. National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) (ongoing):
- Conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics
- Key statistic: For the period 2007-2011, estimated about 235,700 defensive gun uses per year
- Note: This survey consistently produces lower estimates than other sources
4. Violence Policy Center annual reports:
- Title: "Firearm Justifiable Homicides and Non-Fatal Self-Defense Gun Use"
- Key statistic (from 2019 report): In 2016, there were 274 justifiable homicides involving a private citizen using a firearm
- Additional context: This report focuses on cases that resulted in fatalities, which represent a small subset of all defensive gun uses
5. Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology (2015):
- Title: "Defensive Gun Uses: New Evidence from a National Survey"
- Authors: Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz
- Key statistic: Estimated 2.2-2.5 million defensive gun uses per year
- Note: This is an update to their original 1995 study, which has been criticized for potential overestimation
6. National Firearms Survey (2021):
- Conducted by William English at Georgetown University
- Key statistic: An estimated 25.3 million adults have used a gun defensively in their lifetime
- Additional detail: This equates to about 1.67 million defensive uses per year
According to studies, there is anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of examples of people using guns defensively annually. And this is just one metric of personal self defense, never mind other positive aspects of gun ownership and usage.

"but but knives!"
"but but cars!"
"but but Australia!"
"but mah freedumb!"
"but but confiscation!"
"but but teh Nazis!"
blah comma blah comma blah.
Ammosexuals can rationalize anything related to their beloved steel peener substitutes.
We all know wat's wrong.
Yes I stated exactly what was being shown.Q.E.D. Thanks for being a perfect example.
You forgot the "law of the land.""but but knives!"
"but but cars!"

Yes, we do. Fucking idiots like you that:
1) Dismiss how poorly mental health issues are dealt with in this country.
2) Dismiss how obvious it is that criminals do not and will not follow gun laws, no matter how many or how strict you make them.
3) Dismiss the failings of law enforcement in handling people, children included, that have exhibited signs of potential violent behavior. Especially those they have had prior dealings with.
4) Dismiss that the overwhelming majority of law obeying gun owners are not the problem.
Funny, I heard politicians and government buildings already have armed security to deter and deal with threats like would be shooters.Maybe what we should do is everytime we have a school shooting, throw all state politicians names in a random draw, pull a name out for every child killed and string the politicians up as a sacrifice to the gods of political correctness. Bet they'd come up with working solutions in a few days.
No member here represents the power of Russian propaganda on Americans better than you. I wish there could be a surgeon general warning to almost everything you post.You forgot the "law of the land."
Exactly. My solution brings the risks home personally and encourages them to be personally accountable. Last minute resignations NOT accepted.Funny, I heard politicians and government buildings already have armed security to deter and deal with threats like would be shooters.
Strange how they have no problem arming those around themselves for protection, but gosh darn, can't figure out how to protect children at schools.

Mine's actually a Ruger 9mm but himself has a bit of a collection of 1911's that I get to play with on the range.Jealous Canadian here.
I actually wanted to get a Smith & Wesson 500 back when I was doing my licence (after getting my more practical guns of course).

Except for Deckard. He's to busy jerking off thinking of Melanie! I mean, for goodness sake, Deckard. Pasty white girls? How could you? You need to adjust, dude. We all know who the best are :O
And some make it easier than others.All tools make jobs easier, that's why they exist.
And guns kill more effectively that other weapons.I showed that guns are used defensively hundreds of thousands to millions of times a year.
I don't only highlight the negatives. You just ignore an aspect of guns that you don't want to admit is true. That is your issue, not mine.If you only highlight the negatives of any technology but ignore all positives, you're being completely dishonest and making a flawed argument. Here, let me remind you:
The World: Why does this persist?
America: … because, unfortunately, unserious people seem to find a way in on the solutions to serious issues.![]()
Unfortunately I didn't have time to take advantage of my brother offering me one of his 1911 pistols before bans came into effect.Mine's actually a Ruger 9mm but himself has a bit of a collection of 1911's that I get to play with on the range.
