I am beginning to think having 300 million +guns in the country isn't working out...

The simple problem is that the wrong people are always going to get guns if they want them! Are we really going to tell somene, "I'm sorry you cannot be a criminal --- give me that gun." That'll work............................ NOT!
 
Idiotic to think you can make school shootings more illegal than they already are. Guns still haven't started killing people and people still are no less dead when killed with any other inanimate object than with a gun. If you wish to cut down on violence just stop beating this dead horse.
Gun laws simply disarm potential victims which empowers criminals.

Ah, the good old arguments.

Guns don't kill people, people do.

Sure. But people with guns kill more easily than people without guns

Also, why do far more police officers die in the line of duty in the US than the UK? The unarmed police officers in the UK are just potential victims, whereas the armed police officers in the US can defend themselves, so they shouldn't actually die. Right?

"Sure. But people with guns kill more easily than people without guns."

Absolutely. Which is what makes it possible for somebodies' little old grandmother to successfully defend herself from a big burly ax murderer. Also makes it possible for armed employees to defend schoolchildren.Gun free zones only serve to attract crazies.

Also, why do far more police officers die in the line of duty in the US than the UK? The unarmed police officers in the UK are just potential victims, whereas the armed police officers in the US can defend themselves, so they shouldn't actually die. Right?

Somehow I suspect there are far more of both police officers and criminals in the US than in the UK and that there are far more lives protected with firearms.

The problem is, if you look at the statistics, it's better to not be able to defend yourself with a gun at the risk of being attacked by a gun.

3/4 of all murders in the US happen with guns. The US murder rate is 4 times higher than the UK murder rate. So the UK murder rate is about the same as the US non-gun murder rate. Coincidence?

Somehow you suspect?

So you don't know? So you're literally taking the facts that I've presented and ignoring them because it's inconvenient for your narrative and making stuff up to fill the gaps?

Oh, wow.

Far more police officers means what?

List of American police officers killed in the line of duty - Wikipedia

By the Numbers: How Many Cops Are There In the USA?

This guy estimates that there are at least 900,000 police officers in the US.

List of countries and dependencies by number of police officers - Wikipedia

Wikipedia estimates 913,000.

England and Wales has 198,000, plus 17,000 for Scotland and 7,000 for Northern Ireland. That's like 220,000 police officers which would be about comparible with the US per capita. They have 284 per 100,000 in the US and 302 in England and Wales though it's hard to define what is and what isn't a police officer and how much it impacts crime etc. So, we're almost in the same ballpark.

Are there more criminals? Certainly there are more locked up. But then you'd have to ask why the US has more criminals. I could give lots of suggested answers, like the US just doesn't give a shit.

But here's the reality. If guns save lives, why is the US murder rate higher, and why do FAR MORE police officers die every year?

140 in the US, this would be 28 police officers killed in the UK per year in order to be at the same level. You have to go back to October 1999 in order to achieve this level. That's 19 years. This means in the US a police officer is 19 times more likely to die doing their job than a British police office.
Also a US citizen if 4 times more likely to die than a UK citizen.

These are the facts. You can't dress them up with anything.

Having guns in society is more dangerous.

Somehow you suspect?

So you don't know? So you're literally taking the facts that I've presented and ignoring them because it's inconvenient for your narrative and making stuff up to fill the gaps?

Untrue. Most of the "facts" you've presented are no such thing. Lies, spin, irrelevant, invalid and/or unsupported comparisons, and begging the question.

"The problem is, if you look at the statistics, it's better to not be able to defend yourself with a gun at the risk of being attacked by a gun."

Lie. Which is likely the reason why you fail to link or otherwise support your alleged "fact"
You claim that guns attack people and still pretend to deal with facts. How idiotic.


"3/4 of all murders in the US happen with guns. The US murder rate is 4 times higher than the UK murder rate. So the UK murder rate is about the same as the US non-gun murder rate. Coincidence?"

Unsupported, off topic and pointless..

"England and Wales has 198,000, plus 17,000 for Scotland and 7,000 for Northern Ireland....""If guns save lives, why is the US murder rate higher, and why do FAR MORE police officers die every year?"

Fact: If you have far more police policing a far larger population it is altogether reasonable to expect more on the job deaths. And again you fail to provide support for your claims.

"Having guns in society is more dangerous"

Untrue unproven unsupported and (even if true) off topic. And who makes the claim that a more strictly controlled society is preferable to one that is more free?



So what have I said that is false?

I mean, you've not attacked a single fact of mine for being wrong.

No, I don't claim guns attack people.

The fact that you're saying this after quoting me having said

"Sure. But people with guns kill more easily than people without guns."

and then you go off and insult.

You're deflecting, not debating. So, until you stop acting like a child, we're through.

"Sure. But people with guns kill more easily than people without guns."

True. But that truth does not support the idea that there are too many guns in our society and I gave an examples of why that is true.

No, I don't claim guns attack people.

No? You didn't write?:
" ...it's better to not be able to defend yourself with a gun at the risk of being attacked by a gun."
As I said before that whole statement is a lie. What part of that did you not understand?

As also noted the comparison of the raw numbers of officers killed in the US to those killed in the UK has little meaning because of the great difference in the numbers of police officers on the job in both places.

"Statistics say" does not prove a point and doesn't even count as evidence if you don't provide a link or direct quote that can be checked. Claiming something as fact just because you say so doesn't fly.

gun-ownership-study-state-map.png


There are various factors which lead to a place having more crime etc, so you're never going to find a definitive answer, Alaska has the highest rape rate in the US and the highest gun ownership rate in the US too. New Jersey has the lowest rape rate and the 3rd lowest gun ownership rate.

Surely having a gun would prevent rape. Or maybe it empowers rapers.

Most other western countries restrict firearms a lot more than the US and have lower murder rates.

Again, lots of things point to the US having a problem with guns that leads to more gun crime.

Then you're saying it's all a lie. No, this is you using the English language badly. Just because you don't agree with something, doesn't make it a lie.

But then your argument isn't very solid, so you use such language to avoid having to make a decent argument.

How many shootings in schools is that 11 in 23 days? Great job!

The en'r'a' is worried guns may be getting over taxed and need a rest. They are offering gun safe zones where you can go place your gun in a velour cozy for a few days to allow the gun to readjust after a shooting.
It's not velour but they are less likely to get scratched or damaged.

They are comfortable and well maintained.

Less likely to want to jump out and shoot someone when I'm not looking.

How many shootings in schools is that 11 in 23 days? Great job!

Schools are gun free zones. Great job!
Whatever, dupe. There are shootings everywhere concerts theaters night clubs take a break with the brainwashing...

The 2nd Amendment was passed in 1791. Up until 1965, or, for 174 years, where were the mass shootings? Per capita, guns were more prevalent; including the school teacher who kept a gun in the classroom. What happened in 1965, someone shot up the University of Texas. For the next 50 plus years, school and other random mass killings have taken place. What changed? Why the shift? Start with personal accountability. There is none. Next, how about Hollywood and Arts glorifying gun violence? Failed gun free zones plus the increase of non-gun mass killings where knives and cars are being used.

Maybe your wet dream fantasy of guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens will prevail but the trend towards mass killings is a culture shift; not a gun shift.
 
Help me out here. We can’t deport 11 million illegal immigrants because that is too hard. We can somehow round up an estimated 300 million firearms from some 150 million people with little or no trouble. It’s just impossible, too expensive, and too hard to deport the illegals. But it would be cheap and easy to round up guns.

Is that an accurate summation?
For the billionth time, super dupe, no one is even talking about taking away anybody's guns... You people are out of your mind s. We're talking about background checks and bump stocks and automatic weapons kits.

Really? Because that isn’t what you said in the OP. You said 300 million + was too many.
Absolutely. But the number would come down slowly with better background checks and a democratic culture rather than this Reaganist Pander to the rich BS and so much poverty really...


Background checks, the current federally mandated background checks do not stop criminals from getting guns. They steal them or use straw buyers to buy the guns for them. Straw buyers can pass a background check which means that they would pass a background check for a private sale....

That being the case...what "Better Background Checks" do you think would actually work, considering the options you currently support do not work?

You've gotten a false rating on that one.
No evidence that the kickback scheme that defrauded Tenex overlapped with Rosatom’s efforts to buy Uranium One.

You are confused about this.

Hopefully Trump has the courage to do a real investigation and we can find out how come that shithead Clinton managed to get $200 million in her bank account and that the Russians got 20% of our uranium. We know that the filthy ass Obama administration didn't investigate it .,
There is no mystery, she got her money by speeches and writing books like the 43 million dollars she got for the last one. Zzzzzzzzzzz all investigated and not a damn thing.


Aren't you a dumbass? The only idiot left in America that thinks the Clintons are honest and they got $200 million legitimately.
Actually, despite 25 years of fake news character assassination by basically all our pathetic media, probably 40% of the country's still knows that the clintons have been investigated a million times and nothing has been found, super dupe conspiracy Nut Job lol.


They controlled the cops during each one of the investigations.....and had the power of money and pardons to ensure the silence of their minions.....
