There is no catastrophe so ghastly that we will reform our gun laws

[bedowin62]

Ahh, the race card is out...I'm surprised it took you so long.

Harris County (the county that surrounds Houston) has 4 GOP Commissioners and a GOP county judge. Not sure who the Sheriff is but if demographics hold out, it's likely a Republican as well.

Somehow they are completely powerless to stop the carnage and bear zero responsibility?

Of course...blame everyone else...

you started the race card when you were too cowardly to confron the reality of gun carnage in liberal cities


ur a joke

ok continue drooling

Confron? Is that Ebonics? Hang in there slingblade....
It always comes down to race with you guys...always.

it's a typo; but i realize you're running on empty here leftard

There is no catastrophe so ghastly that America will reform its gun laws - The Week

Look, we've collectively decided, as a country, that the occasional massacre is okay with us. It's the price we're willing to pay for our precious Second Amendment freedoms. We're content to forfeit the lives of a few dozen schoolkids a year as long as we get to keep our guns. The people have spoken, in a cheering civics-class example of democracy in action.

It's hard to imagine what ghastly catastrophe could possibly change America's minds about guns if the little bloody bookbags of Newtown did not. After that atrocity, it seemed as if we would finally enact some obvious, long-overdue half-measures. But perfectly reasonable, moderate legislation expanding background checks and banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines was summarily killed in the Senate for no reason other than that a sufficient number of United States senators are owned by the NRA. It made our official position as a nation nakedly explicit: we don't care about any number of murdered children, no matter how many, or how young. We want our guns.

The answer is not more gun laws.
The answer is to change society.

Any recommendations?

Basically that is the conservative response to anything..."shit happens*". The asterisk is the following; "when it happens to people we care about, we take action."

Again, this is why I say that the only thing that will get Washington to move on this is if a powerful lawmaker's son or daughter is a victim of one of these "shit happens" moments. Then you'll see action taken.

sad, pathetic hypocritical loser

'shit happens" is what you morons say when you are confronted with the record welfare and food stamps on your watch; and the every day gun carnage on the streets of liberal cities

Houston has a murder rate equal to El Salvador. I think Phoenix has one equal to Honduras. Liberal cities? Hardly. Of course don't let facts stand in your way; you never do.

Phoenix is a very liberal City.

Yes, stop driving cars, stop smoking, stop adult beverage sales, and only sell plastic knives..... all of these KILL way more people than all the mass INSANE gun killers....Oh, how about we do something about the mentally ill!

 

[candycorn]

Harris County ( Houston ) is blue dumb ass. Come back when you know WTF you are talking about. You sure as hell don't need to be lecturing anyone about gun laws if your that foolish.

And each County Commissioner is a republican...wonder how that happened. Wonder how Dan Patrick (TEA Party darlin) came about from the Blue county?

Oh well, it's your fantasy...someday it will meet reality.

"blue" people committ murders and you look around for a republican to blame for it all

ur a damn comical loser

And of course, I haven't done any such thing. Only pointed out to you that red states and blue states have roughly the same crime rate as is proven time and again.

And you turned it into some sort of race-based scoring system that only a Conservative would endorse or pretend to understand.

That is the true sadness of your pathetic position...you see only race where I see humans. Humans are faulty beings but you cite blacks and Hispanics as the cause...how pathetic.

I point out where Conservative law-enforcement officials are elected and re-elected but your claim is that they have no bearing on the crime rates...as if they are innocent bystanders. I don't blame them wholly but somehow you exonerate them...wholly.

I'm sure you'll continue to call me names; it's your only weaponry after all.

Stop the Liberals who have ruined this country.
Before the Libs took over in the 70's kids were responsible with their guns. Gun laws were very lax in the 50's and 60's, no one was on mind altering drugs. Boys were treated like the young Men they were becoming. All of us were spanked when we were young. We had respect for life. We took responsibility for ourselves.

 

[Skull Pilot]

If you want to change the Constitution there are detailed instructions on how to do so.

So get started and stop whining.

of course you did exactly that and you're denying it

because at the end of the day you dont have facts on your side; and you are a coward

Your answer to gun violence is spanking?

I thought you might have something good

 

[bedowin62]

you are comparing the murder rates of inner cities packed with Democrat-voting demographics to third-world countries


how nice

the racist is you dear

 

[bedowin62]

you want to compare states as IF the crime rate in ANY state is uniform across the state

it's because you're a cowand and intellectually dishonest; and that is all YOU HAVE

 

[bedowin62]

guns are illegal to buy in 97% of chicago

they have one of the highest murder rates in the country

 

[Skull Pilot]

Tell me if we excluded say the 6 cities with the highest murder rate how would we stack up to the rest of the world?

We do not have a gun problem we have violence problems in several cities that skew the numbers.

So your only comment is to insult an entire state?

Some states place more value on our rights and the constitution than on nanny government. I say it's a good thing.

 

[dannyboys]

There are a few bat-crazy people out there who believe eating warm dog shit every day will allow them to live forever.
Some one who is mentally ill and decides to kill every one they see will do it some how, some way.
If they have excess to a gun they'll use it. Guns don't kill innocent people. Mentally ill people do.
I don't expect the LIBs to be able to comprehend such an obvious fact.
A LIB has a neighbour living on his right side with an NRA sign on his lawn.
On his left he has a neighbour with a 'Repeal the Second Amendment' sign on his lawn.
The lib is awakened by some one trying to break down his front door. He runs out the back door b/c he knows if he calls the cops they might be a hour getting there. (In Detroit probably never). Which neighbour is he going to run to for help? GOLD STAR!!!!!!! You got it in one!
No LIB I have ever asked this question to has ever said the neighbor with the 'Repeal' sign on his lawn.
