Is it time for gun control in Washington?

dickhead ..... him not you

 

ROFLMAO

That was awesome

 

There was a thread in P & R about this a couple of months ago.

I participated. It didn't end well....

It helped me understand what the P & R section really is.
It's not so much "not for the faint-hearted" as "not for anyone who isn't a gun-totin' redneck nutjob"
The funny thing is, that's supposedly the area where you can say whatever you think.
It's actually anything but.

Frankly it makes this part of the forum look like it's for grown-ups, and that's saying something.

 

As I've said here before, the U.S. is still the Wild,Wild West. And I'm afraid it's getting worse.
I'd move to Canada if it wasn't so damn cold.

 

Move to Australia.

If you can cope with the ludicrous cost of living, or have a ready high paying job to go to its awesome.
Otherwise if you haven't inherited a large wad of $ and actually have to work for a living it can be a tough gig.

But overall, best country in the world, for sure.

 

I've always had a blast when I have visited!

 

I told you at the time I had deleted P&R from my profile after many years of arguing with idiots.

Guns make cowards feel like men when in fact they are the opposite.

And saying this section is for grown-ups can get you thrown out

 

Glad you guys left the grown up section.

Here's one little bloke that will never have to read your countries' terrific stance on gun control.
Please read what the police chief has to say,as well.


US boy, 3, shoots dead 1-year-old: police

 

The real shocker is that the gun-nuts consider that to be an acceptable consequence of their "freedom".

 

Watch this please.

No, sorry. I wasted a couple of minutes of my life on that laughable rubbish when I made the mistake of venturing into P & R.

Frankly, I wouldn't be putting such embarrassingly bad fake claptrap up to support my argument if I was on your side of it.

 

I really don't see what your anti-guns laws accomplished.

Australian Institute of Criminology - Homicide statistics

 

So you are commenting on something you didn't watch and I should be embarrassed? Bill Whittle is a thoughtful and accomplished political commentator.

 

From your very own link, check this image:

Homicides involving firearms as a percentage of total homicides, 1915-2003


That is a continued downwards trend. It was started before the gun control measures, but it also continues following the gun control measure.

Now, of course, correlation is not causation, but the gun control laws did not see an increase in deaths by firearms, we continued to see decreases. Thus if you are trying to say that the gun laws caused negative change, you're wrong.

Also, raw numbers are a bad datum to solely rely on. If you consider the rate of homicide per 100,000 persons (the far more superior statistical measure that allows for direct comparision, excluding cases where there are very low figures which cause wild variations and outliers), you'll note that Australia has a far lower homicide rate than the USA and has shown significant decrease (the raw number of incidents may look similar, but our population has increased thus the rate is lower).

Please note, I have not said a single "anti-gun" thing in this response.

 

Won't matter, the pro-gun ****wits are as dumb as you can get

 

ChickenKievBalls is amazingly dedicated to not thinking rationally.

 

You make the mistake that he can think

 

Try reading what I wrote. I have watched it, previously.

I stand by my judgment of it.

He may be a "thoughtful and accomplished political commentator" (no doubt because his views align with yours), but that is a pretty lame way of getting them across.

A "Virtual President"? Give me a break.
Constant take aways to other people in suits supposedly listening to him and looking very serious and then nodding along...
Laughably bad.

The fact that the whole thing is obviously fake detracts massively from the argument in my view.

That's not going to convince anyone with the ability to think for themselves. Sorry.

 

Nup,no reason for gun control...'specially when it only the second death within a month,in the area.
