Convicted felon in California has over 500 guns. California, the land of extreme gun control laws..

do you have a point or is this just more gun porn?

The point? Law abiding gun owners who break no laws with the guns they own are forced to jump through hoops and are limited as to what guns they can choose to protect their family, based on the lie that gun control laws will keep guns out of the hands of criminals.......

This "protect your family" bullshit is the same as the "protect our women" bullshit is. A .22 is all that is necessary to deal with a not-very-ordinary home invasion, not a military-grade, rapid-fire weapon. Name one instance in which such a weapon has been necessary to stop a home invasion. Stop trying to use the ruse of protecting someone to hide what you really mean: having these military-grade weapons to point at one's fellow human beings in order to get your spoiled way. I grew up with a revolver and a .22 rifle. No one in my family ever had to use them to ward off any sort of attacker. The rate of home invasion is very low, anyway.

You people are full of shit.

And you are just dumb. The AR-15 civilian rifle is not a military grade rifle...it has never been used by the military, and has never been used in war. It is no different from any other semi automatic rifle.....

That you use the "no one in my family has ever been brutally raped, murdered or tortured" doe not mean it never happens.......you have been lucky....there are 2.4 million Americans a year who use their guns to stop violent criminals from raping, robbing and murdering them.....that is according to the CDC, and not you, a very lucky human being....

I don't give a flying fuck about the distinction between rapid-fire weapons. The main point is that YOU DON'T NEED THEM FOR ANY PROPER PURPOSE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. You sick people want to have them around to point at other people. There is no other reason. We know that there are white traitors in gangs in some places in the US that are practicing military-style training in preparation for using gang violence to take over our free nation: "militias" and that sort of thing. They even give themselves military-style titles.

Your bullshit is not about anyone being "brutally raped, murdered or tortured." A situation in which this could happen only rarely arises, and when it does, a .22 will take care of it nicely. You want something else. Something that violates the laws of common decency in the U.S.A. Something that is, of itself, violent. Something that involves deranged individuals pointing these killing machines at their fellow human beings.

Really shows how bad our gun problem is.

No, it doesn't....our gun crime is confined to tiny areas in democrat voting districts. These areas are tiny....a few blocks out of an entire cities worth of territory.....they account for the majority of all gun crime and they are majority democrat controlled areas....

Meanwhile, law abiding Americans use their legal guns 2.4 million times a year to actually stop rape, robberies and murders, according to the CDC.....

And as more Americans now own and carry guns since the 1990s our gun murder rate went down 49%, our gun crime rate went down 75%, and our violent crime rate went down 72%.,.....that is not a problem...

Our problem is the democrats releasing violent criminals into our inner cities....that is the problem, fix that and our crime rate goes down even lower.

Analysis | The surprising way gun violence is dividing America

In the most Democratic regions, gun violence is more often committed against another, crimes that probably generate more news coverage and fear. In the most Republican areas, it is more often committed against oneself, suicides that may not attract as much attention.

------

As the below charts show, Democratic areas (measured by the party that controls the congressional district) are far more likely to experience almost all forms of malicious gun violence than Republican areas.

What happens with increased carry?
Violent Crime in U.S. Rises for Second Consecutive Year

You were shown the cause of this over and over, you then go on to post that.....as a lie about what happened......since the 1990s our gun crime rate has dropped 75%, our gun murder rate dropped 49% and our violent crime rate dropped72%....then in 2015, the Gentle Giant attacked the police officer and obama used the police shooting as an excuse to attack the police....they stopped proactively policing in response which is now called the Ferguson Effect....that caused a jump in gun murder in democrat cities as the police stopped aggressively going after known gun criminals....

You know this because you have been shown this over and over.... you are a lying doofus...

Hard Data, Hollow Protests

The reason for the current increase is what I have called the Ferguson Effect.

Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.

Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media, and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 AM, many officers are instead just driving by. Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.

Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.

Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization of the police—including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional athletes. The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.
