If you can't take it, don't dish it out, troll.

I'm not going through your feed and trolling you

The evidence does not support that.

cool...now go back to your 2A echochamber moron, since you can't possibly concrie of using very moderate gun control measures to lower suicide rates here.

If people have a right to privacy that allows them to abort fetus’, don’t they have a right to privacy that allows them to commit suicide? I’m not in favor of suicide because it’s often a permanent solution to a temporary problem. But in my opinion, everyone has the right to end their own life in their own time in their own way.

And they talk about Florida LOL

Texans can now openly carry guns in public without a permit or training. Police say the new law makes it harder to do their jobs | CNN

A new pro-gun law in Texas that went into effect Wednesday allows most Texans who legally own a firearm to carry it openly in public without obtaining a permit or training, a measure that experts say will make it more challenging for law enforcement to protect the public from gun violence.

Police don't say that........police chiefs appointed by democrat party gun grabbing governors say that...actual police?

More than 91 percent of respondents support the concealed carry of firearms by civilians who have not been convicted of a felony and/or not been deemed psychologically/medically incapable.
A full 86 percent feel that casualties would have been reduced or avoided in recent tragedies like Newtown and Aurora if a legally-armed citizen was present (casualties reduced: 80 percent; avoided altogether: 60 percent).

This will turn out like all the other cries about guns.
They'll be blood running through the streets OMG,OMG,OMG!!!!!!!!!
And nothing happened unless you count the lower crime rates.

Crime went up in St Louis, MO when the same was done here.

 

[progressive hunter]

The evidence does not support that.

face it skank,, your just mad you keep looking like a fucking idiot,,

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

llowing anyone to run around with a gun strapped to their side without training is not responsible

Can you operate the mouse on a PC?

The concept is the same with guns. Point and click!

Nope...that is wrong....

Soros-Funded St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner Refuses to Charge Killer of 7-Year-Old Child Despite Suspect's Confession

Last week a suspect was arrested in the fatal shooting of 7-year-old Xavier Usanga in north St. Louis last Monday evening.

According to KSDK Usanga was shot and killed while playing outside of his Hyde Park home Monday, according to St. Louis Metro Police Cheif John Hayden. An 18-year-old man standing nearby was injured in the backyard of the Usangas’ home, in the 3500 block of North 14th Street, just after 5 p.m. Monday evening.

The suspect confessed to the shooting that killed 7-year-old Usanga.


But when they brought this confession and evidence to the St. Louis City’s circuit attorney’s office Kim Gardner threw it out.

Gardner said based on current evidence she was not able to determine who was responsible for the child’s death.

Again… The suspect confessed to the crime but that was not enough for this radical lunatic in the Circuit Attorney’s Office.

Rise in Murders Has St. Louis Debating Why

Jennifer M. Joyce, the city’s circuit attorney, or prosecutor, an elected position, complains that in St. Louis, the illegal possession of a gun is too often “a crime without a consequence,” making it difficult to stop confrontation from turning lethal.

At the same time, deeper social roots of violence such as addiction and unemployment continue unchecked. And city officials also cite what they call a “Ferguson effect,” an increase in crime last year as police officers were diverted to control protests after a white officer shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager in the nearby suburb on Aug. 9.

Now, an overstretched department is forced to pick one neighborhood at a time to flood with officers. Last month, Chief Dotson even asked the state highway patrol if it could lend a dozen men to help watch downtown streets; the agency declined.

When the police discover a gun in a car with several passengers, including some with felony records, but no one admits to owning the gun, criminal charges are often impossible, Mr. Rosenfeld said.

In addition, according to a 2014 study by Mr. Rosenfeld and his colleagues, a majority of those who are convicted of illegally possessing a gun but not caught using it in a crime receive probation rather than jail time. Gun laws and enforcement are stiffer in many other cities.

Violence down in St. Louis but homicides hold steady. Are tougher penalties for gun crimes the answer?

But many challenges remain, official said. The department is still down more than 130 officers. Witnesses to crimes remain reluctant to come forward for fear of retaliation, making it difficult to close cases. And a lack of state laws to deter gun crimes has forced the police to turn to federal courts to indict some suspects.

On Tuesday, Edwards made a new pitch: He wants to see the mandatory minimum sentence for armed criminal action raised from its current ceiling of three years to at least 15 years for nonfatal shootings, and 25 years for fatal shootings.

how come when they're interviewing these neighbors of the mass murderers they say they were perfectly normal people and never expected this of them. We are all only human, every one of us capable of going over the edge. That's why no one should have access to weapons capable of killing many in just minutes. At least it would limit the amount of carnage by guns.

What weapons would you outlaw? It seems to me you would advocate single-shot weapons that hardly even exist anymore except for kids!

I oppose abortion.
I oppose enabling suicide by guns.
I support Welfare System.

I am consistent.

You are a consistent moron?

Any weapon enabling suicide or murder.

Guns

All people's life is valuable.

Canada and West Europe give even lifers humane conditions.

Agree, suicide rate in Japan does seem higher…

But that is no excuse not to do what we can lower suicide rates here.

Suicide is a mental health issue, not gun control!

Suicide is a mental health issue, not gun control!

Most attempts without guns fail.

People in Japan do not understand the consequences of suicide.

Guns
Opium

Opium is not a common drug. That just proves your ignorance. The opium poppy is the key source for many narcotics, including morphine, codeine, and heroin.

If you cannot support the 2nd Amendment, please take the closest exit to Canada. Their military to about 100% plan to emigrate to the US as soon as their service ends, primarily due to gun control.

Guns
Opium

Knives, razor blades, axes, swords, cars, trucks, propane tanks, gasoline cans, how many more do you want me to list. Almost anything can be used as a murder or suicide weapon. In the sixties, Buddhist monks used gasoline to commit suicide in Vietnam to protest The Catholic president Diem’s actions. Do you want to ban gasoline as well?

 

[Colin norris]

By all means…

Let untrained and uncleared morons run around with guns

Huh. It happens all over America. Its not new.

 

[Man of Ethics]

Knives, razor blades, axes, swords, cars, trucks, propane tanks, gasoline cans, how many more do you want me to list.

These items are necessary and not as destructive as guns.

They do? So all of the people I know who committed suicide by drugs were the exception?

The only thing relative about you is the the fact that you are relatively stupid.
