Gun violence in the world

[bgr39]

"The key facts are:

• The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership - and even the number two country, Yemen, has significantly fewer - 54.8 per 100 people
• But the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate - that prize belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people"

Gun homicides and gun ownership listed by country News The Guardian

So we have the highest gun ownership in the world, but despite that NOT the highest gun murder rate. We're 28th in the world in fact.

So how is gun availability linked to gun violence? It isn't. Simple as that.

So how is gun availability linked to gun violence? It isn't. Simple as that.

Facts show that gun control has almost no effect on homicides whatsoever.
That is simply reality. Murder is much more related to social factors than to the availability of a means mostly because there is always a means available.

Facts show that gun control has almost no effect on homicides whatsoever.

it certainly does in Iraq since isil took over

isil imposes strict gun control on anyone who opposes them

followed by mass murder

therefore, we can expect mass murder of American citizens after all 300 million + guns in circulation in America have been confiscated?

How would you propose to get the criminals to turn THEIR guns?
Your idea would only leave the unarmed law-abiding citizens at the mercy of the armed criminals.
Criminals would only smuggle guns into America, insuring a constant supply of illegal gun to prey on the unarmed citizens.
???So how is your idea gonna make American citizens any safer???

France has very strict gun control. It did nothing to prevent the Charlie Hebdo killers from entering with AK47s and hand granades.

 

[LOki]

Americans have been fed the lie that gun ownership keeps them safe for so long that they refuse to believe otherwise despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

There is no such "evidence."

You folks are scared to death of terrorists but fail to recognize that you are in more danger of being shot by a friend, neighbour or family member with a gun than being killed by a terrorist.

Strawman.

Demonstrate, Pumpkin.

Nice try, but this post ^^^ didn't squash me.

Lul. There was no attempt to "squash" you, Pumpkin.

However, you should actually make the attempt to demonstrate that Dragonlady is not exaggerating--or just making up--my position before you attempt to school me on logical fallacy.

It's rather instructive (and hilariously self-indicting) that you couldn't.

If you remove minorities from the mix, if you take Whites only, our gun fatality rate is actually LOWER than most of Western Europe's

Just a fucking fact.

The vast majority of gun fatalities in this Country takes place in the Inner Cities.

Just a fact.

So, instead of a Gun Problem, maybe we have a minority problem?

U.S. Murder Toll From Guns Highest in Big Cities CDC

Rather than address that FACT, however, scum of the fucking earth dimocrap FILTH take every opportunity to push their disgusting socialist propaganda

dimocraps are the scum of the earth

It's just no more complicated than that

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yeah. I got my foreign policy ideas from Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinison

 

[Edgetho]

France has very strict gun control. It did nothing to prevent the Charlie Hebdo killers from entering with AK47s and hand granades.

Maybe not, but it kept an E-Vul Gendarme from defending himself (and French Citizens) from the innocent mooslum goat fuckers by making sure they had no guns.

dimocraps are scum

period

Apples and antelopes isn't a comparison of worth. Compare the US with other Western Democracies and get back to us.

And of course you fail to point out that Americans use guns to stop or prevent violent criminal attack and save lives 2million times a year on Average...that is 2 million fewer lives shattered by violent criminals.....

2 million crimes stopped vs.

Accidental gun deaths 2013...505

Gun murders 2013....8,454


Which number is bigger? Even you should be able to do that math...

I know a guy whose ex brother-in-law was attacked by 43 thugs in a back alley in Detroit, and with only a hand gun was able to fight off 41, kill two and one five year old when an errant shot escaped the alley and hit the child in her mom's minivan.

True story, sorry, I don't have any facts to back it up, but that seems to be the theme with many of the posts by 2aguy and his brethren.

Asshole, all of the stories I post are culled from news reports of the event...I don't make them up. I site the source of news story.....but keep trying.......

Tee hee, "news stories"? Yeah sure, post the source. I do, you and the rest of the hacks pass of the meme, and since it's written on the Internet it must be true.

Stupid....I post them from links on gun sites, but those stories are linked to the actual local and state news of the incident....moron..........try reading them some time.....you might learn something about actual defense with a gun........

 

[Wry Catcher]

We should what an Australian comedian says about us because..?

Progressives get their news and talking points from comedians

Conservatives for the most part are too dumb to understand that (Mark Twain, Wil Rogers for example - have you heard of them CF?) Letterman, Colbert and Stewart use humor, wit and even sarcasm to entertain and educate the people.

Conservative commentary, for the most part, eschews such rhetorical tools for severe criticisms and abject character assassinations (have you listened to Limbaugh, Hannity, Falwell and Robertson?) using lies, half-truths, innuendos, appeals to emotion (BENGHAZI!, SOLYNDRA!, FAST & FURIOUS, VOTER FRAUD, etc.) and the ever popular - in the set of the far right - a rewrite of history.

Sure, Honey Boo Boo. It's been hard for you guys since both Steward AND Colbert dumped you and left you without your daily news feeds.

At least you admit you get your education from comedians

Among other sources, I do. It's all about perspective, something absent in all of your Idiot-Grams. Don't you wonder why I believe you're a dolt? If you do go back and read your own posts - the evidence there is probative.

You admit to getting your news from comedians and then call someone else a dolt? Getouttatown!

I admitted gaining perspective, and this post ^^^ proved once again you're a dishonest dolt.

A hilarious Australian stand-up comic explains what U.S. gun laws look like to the rest of the world

In 2008-2012, guns were used in 42,419 criminal homicides and only 1,108 justifiable homicides (defined as the killing of a felon during the commission of a felony by a private citizen), according to the report -- a ratio of 38 to 1.

Tell me what makes an Australian comic qualified to speak for the entire world?

Let me guess you think the daily show is actually a news broadcast don't you?

It seems you don't feel safe now, would you feel less safe if your state required every person who wanted to own, possess or have in their custody and control a license?

And if an unlicensed person did own, possess, or have in his/her custody and control a gun, s/he would suffer criminal sanctions, such as:

• first offense, a fine and a period of supervised release with condition that s/he not own, possess, etc. gun, submit to warrant less search of person, home, auto and business;
• Second offense, one year county jail; 3 yrs supervised release under terms and conditions noted above;
• third offense State Prison; lifetime parole under same conditions.

Hint: It is already illegal for a convicted felon to own or possess a gun. How many convicted felons have turned their guns in? How many convicted felons are actively carrying guns?
Yeah your idea sucks.

No one takes The Daily Show as a hard news program. Stewart takes current events and provides humorous, sarcastic witty and honest commentary. His editorial on the Charleston mass murder was straightforward, honest and heartfelt. He used no other rhetorical tool than his own humanity.

therefore, we can expect mass murder of American citizens after all 300 million + guns in circulation in America have been confiscated?

"The key facts are:

• The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership - and even the number two country, Yemen, has significantly fewer - 54.8 per 100 people
• But the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate - that prize belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people"

Gun homicides and gun ownership listed by country News The Guardian

So we have the highest gun ownership in the world, but despite that NOT the highest gun murder rate. We're 28th in the world in fact.

So how is gun availability linked to gun violence? It isn't. Simple as that.

would could suppose

Facts show that gun control has almost no effect on homicides whatsoever.
That is simply reality. Murder is much more related to social factors than to the availability of a means mostly because there is always a means available.

Facts show that gun control has almost no effect on homicides whatsoever.

it certainly does in Iraq since isil took over

How would you propose to get the criminals to turn THEIR guns?
Your idea would only leave the unarmed law-abiding citizens at the mercy of the armed criminals.
Criminals would only smuggle guns into America, insuring a constant supply of illegal gun to prey on the unarmed citizens.
???So how is your idea gonna make American citizens any safer???

It seems you don't feel safe now, would you feel less safe if your state required every person who wanted to own, possess or have in their custody and control a license?

And if an unlicensed person did own, possess, or have in his/her custody and control a gun, s/he would suffer criminal sanctions, such as:

• first offense, a fine and a period of supervised release with condition that s/he not own, possess, etc. gun, submit to warrant less search of person, home, auto and business;
• Second offense, one year county jail; 3 yrs supervised release under terms and conditions noted above;
• third offense State Prison; lifetime parole under same conditions.

Hint: It is already illegal for a convicted felon to own or possess a gun. How many convicted felons have turned their guns in? How many convicted felons are actively carrying guns?
Yeah your idea sucks.

I have ideas, you are free to present your own but to be taken seriously you have to have one. Being a parrot and echoing the same meme over and over is quite comical.

I dont have to present anything. All I have to do is point out that your idea is an obvious failure for a very simple reason: Criminals by definition do not obey laws. Ergo any law you pass will not affect criminals, but it will affect law abiding people.
My solution is to make guns the equivalent of big screen TVs.

I know a guy whose ex brother-in-law was attacked by 43 thugs in a back alley in Detroit, and with only a hand gun was able to fight off 41, kill two and one five year old when an errant shot escaped the alley and hit the child in her mom's minivan.

True story, sorry, I don't have any facts to back it up, but that seems to be the theme with many of the posts by 2aguy and his brethren.

Asshole, all of the stories I post are culled from news reports of the event...I don't make them up. I site the source of news story.....but keep trying.......

Tee hee, "news stories"? Yeah sure, post the source. I do, you and the rest of the hacks pass of the meme, and since it's written on the Internet it must be true.

Stupid....I post them from links on gun sites, but those stories are linked to the actual local and state news of the incident....moron..........try reading them some time.....you might learn something about actual defense with a gun........

LOL - try posting the links, maybe then you won't look so foolish,

I post every link asshole...try reading them....moron....

Gee, I must have missed them. Please provide links to the posts so I might examine the source and thus determine their worth. A thread and post number of six ought to be sufficient, and necessary to provide evidence you're not a liar.

Europe has inner city ghettos with minorities in them. The only difference is that you can't run down to the store and buy a gun.

That is the only fact that matters.

You really are a stupid cooze

You solution lacks critical examination, of course every post of yours, at best, has been myoptic.
