Gunman at DC Navy Yard shoots at least 7

[koshergrl]

Australia isn't the US.
Sorry, fail.

 

[Spoonman]

Australia isn't the US.
Sorry, fail.

and it.s not like they had mass shootings before the laws

 

[Brain357]

Australia isn't the US.
Sorry, fail.

Neither is the uk.

 

[Brain357]

Australia isn't the US.
Sorry, fail.

and it.s not like they had mass shootings before the laws

Yes they did.

 

[koshergrl]

It doesn't matter, completely irrelevant. They don't have the gun culture, the gang culture, the border issues, the population or the huge cities that we do.

 

[Brain357]

and it.s not like they had mass shootings before the laws

Yes they did.

What was it, one?
Just the sparse population could explain that.
It's an island, no porus border, no nearby land masses providing ease of smuggling.
UK, has more in common with the USA, density, open borders etc
10 times the number of mass shootings since gun control was enacted.
What is most likely here when you fanatics get your ban?

They had several that is why they enacted gun control.

Uk isn't an island?

We are actually closer to Australia in population density per square mile. You need to check your facts
Australia 7
United Kingdom 650
USA 84

Yet what percentage of that population in the USA reside in large metro areas?
90%?
So the population density has mor in common with the UK when you look at it honestly.
Correct?
Most concentrate on the two coasts in dense cities( where most crime happens).
The rest are sparsely scattered around the center of the nation.
Be honest, you know I'm right.

So your saying Australia's population is nice and evenly distributed? Really?
Population of Australia, Demographics of Australia
Given how often you are proven wrong I think it can be assumed your wrong about guns.

Yes they did.

And they have had them since. Or doesn't the shooting up of the police station by the biker gang count?

The Senate Bill lost because the NRA is good at terrorizing congressmen.

Now we need to take every Congressman who voted against that bill and get in his face with Aaron Alexis.

The Senate bill lost because you there aren't enough scum sucking pigs for you to get your way.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

The Senate Bill lost because the NRA is good at terrorizing congressmen.

Why would they be afraid of the NRA if 90% of those that vote were in favor??

Does not compute

-Geaux

You mean why would they be afraid of an organization that has shown a willingness to dump millions into races with no regard for the truth?

Hmmmm....

Why would I be afraid of Bloomberg, he lost big time in Colorado.

Yeah but that's different because , because , because. , mass shootings are ok after guns are criminalized!!
The people who are killed in post gun ban mass shootings are less dead !!!!

Here you go douche nozzle.
Mass Murder - Spree killers - Michael Atheton - Derick Bird - Michael Ryan - Thomas Hamilton - Murder UK

Okay, let's look at your list.

Kills Years Name


17 1996 THOMAS HAMILTON

12 2010 DERRICK BIRD

So let's just look at the last year or so in the US.

Sixteen US Mass Shootings Happened in 2012, Leaving at Least 88 Dead | The Nation

March 31, 2012—A gunman opened fire on a crowd of mourners at a North Miami, Florida, funeral home, killing two people and injuring 12 others.

April 6, 2012—Two men went on a deadly shooting spree in Tulsa, Oklahoma, shooting black men at random in an apparently racially motivated attack. Three men died and two were wounded.

I see how it works now, it only counts as a mass shooting it it is in the US.

Yeah, nothing terrorizes these assholes more than losing their jobs.

But why would they lose their jobs if 90% of voters wanted B/U checks?

Illogical

-Geaux

Stop being obtuse.

10% can throw a politician out if they are really serious about it and you know it.

All they have to do is distract the other 90% with bullshit.

Is that how Obama won?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

[

90% of the populace wants the kind of background checks that would have kept Aaron Alexis from buying a gun last Saturday.

he passed a background check

ANd that proves that the backgournd checks aren't thorough enough.

It's why we don't put a bicycle chain on the front doors of Fort Knox, guy.

It took the media less than a day to figure out how crazy this guy was.

Yet someone who was selling him a gun really didn't care.

How does it prove background checks are not thorough when he had never been convicted of a crime and had never been adjudicated as mentally ill? Isn't your beef with the fact that he got away with doing bad things and being crazy? Why blame guns for that?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Stop being obtuse.

10% can throw a politician out if they are really serious about it and you know it.

All they have to do is distract the other 90% with bullshit.

Now, that is genuine

No, guy, it's an accurate description of everything wrong with American Politics.

The wealthy have too much influence and the electorate is too dumb to notice.

People keep saying that, yet the numbers keep proving you wrong. For example, Bloomberg and the anti gun nuts outspent the pro recall side in Colorado by 3 to 1, yet they lost. If the wealthy really had all that power they would have won. Perhaps the problem isn't money, perhaps the problem is you picked the losing side.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Should I use the city with the highest homicide rate to represent the US? Obviously no. So why does Scotland represent all of the UK? That's not honest.

Yet you continually do.

When? Your responses seem to lack any substance now. Guess your losing.

Polls show that support for gun control went down this week, how am I losing?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Yes clearly racist against all races equally. You clearly think very little of this country which explains why so many right policies are making us closer to being a 3rd world country.

Obama has us on the fast track to a third world economy.

The stock market is hitting new highs, isn't that all the right cares about?

It is all Obama cares about, is he the right?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Yes they did.

What was it, one?
Just the sparse population could explain that.
It's an island, no porus border, no nearby land masses providing ease of smuggling.
UK, has more in common with the USA, density, open borders etc
10 times the number of mass shootings since gun control was enacted.
What is most likely here when you fanatics get your ban?

They had several that is why they enacted gun control.

Uk isn't an island?

They had a single, really bad, year. That is a statistical anomaly, not a trend.

By the way, assaults have increased by 40% and rapes have increased by 20% since the gun ban.

 

[Brain357]

Yet what percentage of that population in the USA reside in large metro areas?
90%?
So the population density has mor in common with the UK when you look at it honestly.

Be honest, you know I'm right.

So your saying Australia's population is nice and evenly distributed? Really?
Population of Australia, Demographics of Australia
Given how often you are proven wrong I think it can be assumed your wrong about guns.

Did I say that?
I guess honesty is beyond you.
The USA is a large landmass with a population in excess of 300 million.
The UK a tiny landmass with a population of 60 million plus.

The majority of people in both the UK and the USA live in densely packed metropolitan areas.
None of the above really apply in Australia.

Yes actually you did.
So you must mean the % of population living in urban areas.
Australia: 82%
United Kingdom: 80%
USA: 79%

Well look at that Australia actually has more of it's population packed into cities. Go figure. It seems you don't bother looking at any facts or statistics before speaking. That is pretty typical of the pro-gunner.
