Makes you wonder why the 56% of the society are not murderous felons as the NRA suggests is the direct result of video games and violent movies. Somehow--only US citizens seem to be susceptible to the effects of violent media though.
What does this have to do with gun affordability?
Most countries that has poverty.....really do live in poverty and don't have access to video games....unlike the US
Europe doesn't have access to video games and movies? Canada doesn't? Japan doesn't? China doesn't? Australia doesn't?
As for the affordabilty question, you may as well make the absurd statement that "most houses can afford refrigerators so they can afford guns" or "most people have cars so they can afford guns".
Or perhpas you can insinuate I beat my spouse again--real classy.
Yeah...sure. Must admit I was surprised and saddened. Mans' game I guess.What does this have to do with gun affordability?

With my yes, no question, I was only showing how absurd your question was...not implying anything other than that.
You've done neither actually; just showing the price of a parallel purchase without considering things like bullets, licenses, etc... And the relatively single-ended purchase of an X-box versus the arms race (will a cheap .25 cal really protect you)?You were the poster who brought up the affordability of a gun....I just showed that a gun WAS affordable to most.
I guess I didn't understand your rabbit trail with the correlation between video games and gun violence with the youth. You might want to google that, interesting read that might surprise you.
8. There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people through vicious and violent video games.

It would have to be bigger than it is now, and it would require changing the 2nd amendment to do anything about it.
Right now 19k of the 32k are suicides, and I don't give a rats ass about those.
Yes...you covered that already.
Give us a number to where you think we should change the way we do business... 30,000? 50,000? 100,000?
Well?
What is the point where we change the way we do business? Is it okay at 25,000 deaths but 25,001 is too many????
Again, how many of those deaths occur among gangbangers shooting other gangbanger, criminals shooting other criminas, suicides etc.? Where they already know the other guy has a gun, and/or don't care about dying? For normal people in normal neighborhoods, universal concealed carry is and always has been the best route to safety... even though most of them won't bother, as I said.Guns have another purpose? What is it?
The usual liberals know the answer to this question quite well, of course. They're only hoping there's someone out there who DOESN'T know it, so they can fool him into believing the liberals have any kind of sensible argument to make.
If all law-abiding adults were allowed to carry a gun, most of them still wouldn't bother. But a few would.
And a criminal who's thinking about mugging somebody, raping them, robbing a store etc., knows that. And he knows that, even though most people don't carry, there's still a pretty good chance that someone in the crowd probably has a gun. And he has no idea who.
But he knows a bullet may come from an unexpected direction, at any time, as he does his robbery or rape or whatever. And he has no way to defend against it.
A few truly insane whackos might go ahead and do it anyway. But a great many of them will simply never bother to rob the store or whatever he was planning to do. Some might even eventually find a different line of work.
And all without a shot being fired.
The biggest advantage of universal carry by law-abiding citizens, is that many crimes will simply never happen, that would have happened if not for the universal carry. Even though most people still don't bother carrying.
They have CHLs available in Texas and Arizona, right? Yet you can still compare city murder rates in those states to those of countries. Doesn't seem as though the threat of instant death is much of a deterrent. Maybe it would be greater if it wasn't....
How do you plan to take guns out of "the equation"? You still haven't answered this question.Still if guns were not in the equation; it would be safer still.

makes you wonder why only .000024 guns ever commits a murder when gun grabbers tell us the only purpouse of a gun is to kill

Yet only American kids seems susceptible to doing violence after playing those games--and you guys are saying that the 2nd Amendment and almost laughable ease of acquisition of repeating arms has NOTHING to do with it?
Yes...you covered that already.

What is the point where we change the way we do business? Is it okay at 25,000 deaths but 25,001 is too many????
The number would be determined by the point you get 2/3 of congress and 3/4 of the states to repeal or modify the 2nd amendment.

He said "it would have to be more than it is now" before he thinks anything is wrong (he copped to over 10,000 deaths being not enough).. [MENTION=23094]martybegan[/MENTION] was asked how many and has gone away.

I detailed the plan like 4 times. Here are the bullet points.
Make guns more expensive to keep to drive up costs and lower demand. This will reduce the pool of weapons over time...one or two generations.
Sentence criminals to mandatory minimums if they use/brandish a firearm during a crime. This reduces crime which reduces the demand even more.
Create a government/industry partnership where responsible gun ownership and parental supervision is stressed. Similar to what we did with cigarettes.

the number of deaths does not matter because guns are not the issue. focus on the problem, not your agenda

It's called having a life shit for brains.
Someone else posted a good point below. If it comes to the point where the number is significant, it won't be the guns, it will be the breakdown of society. At that point laws wouldn't matter, and only idiots would not be armed.
