It is pushback to the not-quite-right idea that handguns are only or specifically made to kill or wound people. Bad premises create bad policy.now you are just being stubborn. We were talking about handguns in general an not an oddball condition.
You can find an exception and talk about it you like but it's not a useful argument in any way.It is pushback to the not-quite-right idea that handguns are only or specifically made to kill or wound people. Bad premises create bad policy.
Am I being cheeky? A little. Am I being incorrect? There’s the rub.
It frees up the category from categoric treatment. That is useful.You can find an exception and talk about it you like but it's not a useful argument in any way.
Have you gone back to study why your original suggestion to apply maximum force on low income districts as a solution to crime is wrong?I think the better statement is handguns are made for self defense.....bears, people, dogs, brain sucking aliens or whatever.
Daily Caller was founded by Tucker Carlson. Its factuality is Mixed.Why is it wrong to sentence violent people harsher than some dude that grew a bunch of plants for profit.
Is it wrong or not an effective deterrent?
You need to go back and try to understand why criminal behavior comes to be before can understand the solution. There isn't one factor but many. Much of it stems from the conditions under which people are raised. The US locks up more people per capita that almost any other nation in the world and yet crime is still with us. Authoritarian suppression hasn't workedWhy is it wrong to sentence violent people harsher than some dude that grew a bunch of plants for profit.

Handguns not used for defense? If you include police shootings the use of a handgun in the defense of self or others is much higher than criminal use of a handgun. I dunno where you get your facts?
Gun control lobbyist just had the CDC remove data on defensive use of guns, because it spoiled the agenda they were trying to paint.
Link me something credible to back your claims.

Yes it is and I’ve wished I’ve had one a few times but a shotgun works too. So maybe legal only in the field possibly……just a thought.to play devil’s advocate, a large-bore revolver is handy in bear and boar country.
if the truth be known, I am unlikely to encounter a bear except the figurative sort at a brewpub.Yes it is and I’ve wished I’ve had one a few times but a shotgun works too. So maybe legal only in the field possibly……just a thought.
sad but true.Link didn't work for me, but I think I found it: DOJ article by Michael Shader. Very interesting read. So, it seems that these shithole communities are so far down into a negative feedback loop the only real option is escape. It's extremely sad really...they are pretty much saying your FFB (Fucked From Birth) if your born into that environment.
Guess the only option is to be the better person with self-respect, high motivation and promise yourself you'll do all in your power to leave as soon as possible, don't and good chance the negative cycle consumes you as well.
I don't know what you read. I do know that when in economic distress, moving somewhere else isn't an option unless you consider going homelss is an option. It is sad. But your solution is what? The one ancient Rome might use, which is to just kill everybody?Link didn't work for me, but I think I found it: DOJ article by Michael Shader. Very interesting read.
