I have a gun.  Actually, I own more than one.  I also own many pocket knives.

No sensible person is calling for a ban on all guns.  What we want are assault weapons bans, better background checks, raising the age from 18 to 21, etc.

Gun control does not mean taking away people's guns.  Guns should be available for purchase, but that doesn't mean it needs to be anywhere near as easy as it is currently to purchase one.  We are pro-2nd amendment.  Military grade weapons shouldn't be available; AR-15's shouldn't be available; background checks should be more extensive; people with mental illness shouldn't be allowed to purchase; an 18 year old high school student shouldn't be allowed to buy one; there should be some kind of training required or some way that you can show you know how to respect, handle, and operate a firearm.  There's more steps you have to go thru in order to legally drive a car.

Seriously, what does your side not understand about this?
Because there are many peaceful, decent, law-abiding people of all backgrounds and walks of life who own AR-15s (and weapons of similar caliber), and they've never used it to kill anyone in the manner that these shooters do.  Why punish them?


For the same reason that tens of thousands of people who safely drive 130 miles an hour on the highway harming anyone car, as you put it, punished by limiting the speed limit to 75 or 80 miles an hour.

About 1.3 million people die in car accidents per year, with speeding being a factor in about 30% of those.

Compare this to about 30,000 people who die from guns per year, the majority actually being from suicide (about 60%). The numbers are much smaller when it comes to murders, and even smaller than that when it comes to mass shootings.

Not to mention there's other factors at play that increase the risks of an accident and death while speeding that can't even be compared to guns.

Your comparison is bad and you should feel bad.



Now compare the ratio of car owners in the country to the number of gun owners in apply your same facts. And yes, suicides are a factor there as well.

Your comparison is bad, and what you feel or shouldn't feel is irrelevant as this is simply another day that ends in y for your posts.

Your point still holds absolutely no merit, and you've offered nothing to suggest it does.

But hey, good job proving yourself to be what just about everyone already knows: a Democrat who is just into whatever the party thinks is cool to parrot and ignores facts and real solutions because the end goal (even though it's bad and solves nothing) makes them feel good Smiley


Nope. Still more Republican activist than you ever have been my bloated little keyboard Warrior.

Tell me is there even a single issue you agree with the Republicans on.

I mean if there were a few issues you disagree with them on(For example I disagree with them on Obamacare , military spending, and some social issues) you could still call your self a Republican but if you basically disagree with them on all the issues than that basically means your not a Republican.


I mean

-you oppose Tax Cuts but at the same time dont support spending cuts

- you said you dont even believe Tax Cuts targeted at small buisness will help the economy more than spending increases do

- You are totally opposed to their foreign policy

- You oppose deregulation of buisnesses
