It also correlates with dinner.I was quite clearly being sarcastic.
Let me out forward a hypothesis...I surmise that kitchen ownership corrolates with stabbings...

hahaIt reminds me of that golf joke. Watching the hack dribble slice. "Standing to close....after you hit it."

Yes, you need it bad.I am without glasses, no long reads today. I need it bad?
And dinner corrolates with "delicious" so...cannabalism?It also correlates with dinner.
I don't think that writing laws ever leads to increased justice. In fact if I have ever suggested such a thing, it would have been a very long time ago.So long as you do not suggest or imply that the study can or should be used for forming public policy.
...you're looking at this thing backwards, gun owners aren't the ones trying to force their way of thinking on others so you're only hearing from pro-gun rights folk because we refuse to quietly surrender our rights.I don't think that writing laws ever leads to increased justice. In fact if I have ever suggested such a thing, it would have been a very long time ago.
Let me restate, I do not seek bans.
However, gun culture is a regrettable thing. Why must people glamorize ownership of guns? Why is there cultural currency to be derived from it? I do not begrudge scared people their defense. I begrudge them the right to make everyone feel like they need a gun. I wouldn't suggest the gov't as a solution to that either, but I'm definitely free to argue against them.

The study was fucking ironclad. A four year old could tell you that more guns = more shootings. You're the one with some irrational fear born out of the Turner Diaries and your argument reveals that quite plainly....you're looking at this thing backwards, gun owners aren't the ones trying to force their way of thinking on others so you're only hearing from pro-gun rights folk because we refuse to quietly surrender our rights.
...and it's the anti gun rights assholes who make everyone feel unsafe so your argument is spurious at best.
...and that 'study' you posted at the start of this thread isn't worth shit, statistics can be used to prove whatever you want them to prove.
You live in Canada, right? How many murders were committed by handgun in that country last year" 200, maybe? That is the body count in NYC ALONE. Do you think it has something to do with ease of access to handguns, or are the people in your country just nicer?Why allow the police handguns but not all the other civilians? All ... or none.
Also, why deny that a handgun is the only firearm suited to concealed carry?
Finally, i disagree with your judgment of the Founding Fathers. I counter that their intent was "if the Government has it we civilians have a right to it." "Bear arms" is generic, from a Swiss Army knife to an aircraft carrier.

Why would I need a gun?Either we all (with moderate restrictions) get'em, or none of us do.
Your kidding right?In Canada there is more forced entry, assault, home invasion brutalization, etc.
Why would that be the question?Why would I need a gun?
There can never be such a thing.Total Security Solution
I agree. ..There can never be such a thing.
Then you admit, you own a gun simply because you like guns.I agree. ..
No.Then you admit, you own a gun simply because you like guns.
Just ponder the above suggestion for half a second before you reject it, and acknowledge that while it may not be true for you, it is for some.
Florida and Texas are #2 and #3 in murders by handgun. So apparently the states allowing more people to carry hand guns legally, kill more people than your average bear (pun), meaning Texas and Florida in particular, where the right to carry is not to be infringed upon like to shoot people But I guess all those death's were just citizens protecting their homes and families, etc.I live in the USA.
What does that number actually mean?
Consider that folks in the country are very probably not nicer. In fact they are hard targets; they're likely to be packin. That is to me the #1 reason why inhabitants of the "maximum gun control" cities get shot so much. The ones who have the guns have already rejected the social contract and have less to lose. I think it has to do with difficulty of legal access to handguns. The guns go to the thugs in and out of uniform.
