The fact is that the fucking government cannot protect you. Not from a bomb, not from a criminal, not from a rapist etc.
If you think it can then you are the one who is mentally ill.
Nor do I really expect it to, but I know I live a better life with a police presense that is 90% effective than one where everyone is on their own.
You expect it to and you will be disappointed.
A gun in the household is 43 times more likely to kill a member of the household than a bad guy. You might as well fill your yard with rattlesnakes and hope one doesn't bite little Sally.
people use guns 2.5 million times a year in self defense. See I can quote statistics too.
Klecks survey also included gun uses against animals and did not distinguish civilian uses from military of police uses. Klecks Interviewers do not appear to have questioned a random individual at a given telephone number, but rather asked to speak to the male head of the household. Males from the South and West were oversampled. The results imply that many hundreds of thousands of murders should have been occurring when a private gun was not available for protection. Yet guns are rarely carried, less than a third of adult Americans personally own guns, and only 27,000 homicides occurred in 1992.
Consider the responses to a national random-digit-dial telephone survey of over 1,500 adults conducted in May 1994 by ABC News and the Washington Post. One question asked: "Have you yourself ever seen anything that you believe was a spacecraft from another planet?" 10% of respondents answered in the affirmative. These 150 individuals were then asked, "Have you personally ever been in contact with aliens from another planet or not?" and 6% answered "Yes."
By extrapolating to the national population, we might conclude that almost 20 million Americans have seen spacecraft from another planet, and over a million have been in personal contact with aliens from other planets. That more than a million Americans had contact with aliens would be incredible newsbut not the kind actively publicized by reputable scientists. Yet the ABC News/Washington Post data on aliens are as good as or better than that from any of the thirteen surveys cited by K-G as supporting their conclusions about self-defense gun use.

Fortunately, this gun bill is about ready to be shot down.
For one thing - if the target was the marathon - why was the bomb detonated three hours after the leaders finished?
Please enlighten me as to how many gun owners, even those that own a so called although mislabeled "assault" rifle are, as you say, nuts?
It is nuts to WANT to own assault weapons. It is nuts to get off on going to the range and shooting assault weapons. It is nuts to think that introducing more assault weapons into the mix will result in fewer incidents of gun violence.
Oh so what 1 thousandth of 1 percent of gun owners?Please enlighten me as to how many gun owners, even those that own a so called although mislabeled "assault" rifle are, as you say, nuts?
All the ones who go out and mow down lots of school children, mall shoppers, and movie goers, right? They're all crazy. And the ones who call firefighters and then shoot them.
The other gun nuts are people who just haven't gone over the edge yet and taken their guns to town. But they may: that's what their guns are FOR, for killing lots of people.
For one thing - if the target was the marathon - why was the bomb detonated three hours after the leaders finished?
Obviously the target was the marathon, but that's a very good question. Security had lapsed after the big leader finish? But crowds still around to target?

2.5 million huh?
You will believe anything.

Since there is absolutely no difference between what you sheep call "assault" rifles and any other semiautomatic rifle are you saying that anyone owning a semiauto .223 ranch rifle is nuts?
And rifles of any kind were only used in 2.5% of murders in 2011. Therefore the percentage of murders committed with so called "assault rifles is even lower

How many times do you need to be told. A weapon that is designed to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time without a high degree of skill needed is an assault weapon. If you enjoy shooting one of those, you are nuts. I can see once to get the experience of it.....but to own one and play with it regularly, you need to be a little nuts.

So ALL semiauto rifles are "assault" weapons?
I do not own guns to kill people with. Most people who own guns will never even point one at another person. So who here is really the paranoid nut?

It's no more bullshit that any other stat especially Joe's 43% stat that he masturbates to.

I hope you won't ever shoot people with all your guns. But it's not a good sign that you have so many, and how do you know what you'll do when you get senile? A LOT of the gun nuts who go off are elderly.
I don't own more guns than I need. So I'm not the paranoid nut. The paranoid nut is the guy who collects vast numbers of guns and then finally decides he'll just do what he's been fantasizing doing all these years, while he sits alone in his apartment with several glasses of rye whiskey looking at the Weather Channel.
Guns are not a good substitute for a life. They tend to cause a lot of people's deaths.

Does that mean that you posted it knowing it is bullshit?

If a weapon is designed to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time....especially if little or no skill needed to achieve that goal, it is an assault weapon.
Why get bogged down in semantics?
