You say people put words in your mouth but go putting words in mine. Classy. i didnt say it would stop suicides, it woild stop suicide by gun. Read the article i mentioned. The statistics show that suicide by ALL other forms also went down.
I put nothing in your mouth, I used sarcasm to show your point is stupid.
How is this relevant? In reagurds to gun owners and fisherman? Up here almost all fisherman carry for woods protection.
They are empowered to defend themselves and to attack others. It goes both ways is what I'm saying. Most will act as you describe but if you empower/arm everyone with guns there will be many that don't.There will always be good vs bad in this world.
There will always be the need for just men with weapons to rid the world of the wicked .
Just the way it is .
Americans just have lost their stomach.
How would they become empowerd to attack ?
This is illogical to me.
As a person that used to be pretty heavy in martial arts i always felt bad if i hurt someone in training. Or beat a guy up on the street (i thought i was going to get in legal teouble cause i beat the shit outa a guy who attacked me )
Just like most mma fighters will try to talk you down before they choke you out cause they know they can
Again i ask WHAT would "empower " a person to attack anyone unless they have mental problems already?
Arming them empowers them. The mentally ill are included in "everyone" when you follow the logic that more guns = more safer.
Please explain how my argument is stupid. How does your math work? How will fewer or NO guns not result in fewer gun related deaths?
I agree cause a lot of gun owners are "rednecks"
Lol, again, never no guns will result in fewer deaths. Not sure where you got that from.
Having read many of your posts on this particular subject across the various threads here I can confidently say that i do not think you are part of the problem. Additionally you have rational realistic resolutions or suggestions that may help. The question is how do we get this type of thinking across the board and make everyone safer, gun owners and non. At the end of the day a gun owner is just a susceptible to being killed by a gun as anyone else...you cant be looking in every direction every second and if someone starts blasting with your back turned you may not have enough time to draw before being hit.I agree cause a lot of gun owners are "rednecks"
But there are those of us who CARRY RESPONSIBLY EVERYDAY AND NO ONE KNOWS
First sign your a gun douche bag is openly carring your pistol like it makes people fear you
Im quite the opposite
As knowing several criminals growing up
I know that they just see it as a punk bitch with a gun that is easy to snatch. Off his side when hes not paying attention
No one knows i carry un less they give me a close hug
Sorry for my obvious stupidity but what are you saying in your first sentence here? My argument was that with fewer guns in the publics hands there would be fewer gun related deaths, accidents, homicides, suicides...and you are saying no to that? Just so we are clear and i can feel real dumb.
That's interesting, seeing how you seem to think its okay for you to be buying them to kill people by USA world domination occupiers.
Again, your stats are off. 3-5 homicides per 100,000 people doesn't equal 0.00000001% of gun owners doing shitty things.
If laws don't work, then shouldn't we repeal our immigration laws, murder laws, rape laws, etc.? Laws deter crime by making them more difficult to commit and providing an explicit punishment. Laws are stronger, more credible when they stand on the side of logic and morality.
So you agree the weapons are part of the problem and should be reduced. I would extend that to world conflicts, sure. At the same time, there is a reality to confront that makes that issue a bit more complex, same with gun laws.
Remember, you were the one that came to this thread to nit pick and dismiss the OP even when you mostly agree with what I'm saying and vice-verse.
