Re: Sensible Gun Control
Surprising how many people still leave cars unlocked and home doors and windows unlocked. It’s the easiest way to become a victim as criminals usually take the path of least resistance. In the 80’s my parents home in a quiet part of Los Angeles County was broken into 3 times before they finally got a security system. After that, no more issues as the criminals move on to the next house. In the meantime, two vintage shotguns were stolen on the first attempt. Who knows how many times they were used in criminal acts or deaths instead of on their intended use, pheasants.

Re: Sensible Gun Control
You must have me confused with someone else because I don’t believe all guns should be banned. We need more reasonable control and more than anything a change in gun culture. I don’t want a general weapons ban. You must have me confused with someone else. For every cowboy that likes to play with guns, 85 ordinary citizens want some form of control.LandM wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 7:24 am TLD,
When the nut job with his brother used a pressure cooker (maybe we should ban them as well) and holed up on the backyard stored boat - all this live coverage with 100's of police officers my wife asked what would you do. Small little armament strategically placed, boat is gone but it saves the taxpayer allot of money. Would not surprise me if the kid gets out at some point, my brother made me do it.
BC had the opportunity to off OBL but rules of engagement - no kids get killed - well look who took after daddy? Thankfully he and dad got what they deserved.
Doc none of your proposals will survive - DMac is correct - do you honestly believe the Philly guy was using legal, properly stored guns, check out Chicago for legally, properly stored guns. Take a drive to Tijuana - gun salad and cheap. You are not gonna stop that but what you are gonna do is create a very large and hostile crowd who are responsible and rationale.
Nice to see that you support extra judicial killing in the USA.

Re: Sensible Gun Control
TLD,
You referenced Philly police bombing - I googled it - 1985, MOVE. All I said was there was a much easier method to avoid that situation. Used the example of the nutball who holed himself in a boat after killing at least 4 people, and injuring 264 others. Required how many hours of police time, court time and your tax dollars get to pay for said killer to have a life. Guessing he will be using the brother excuse before my lifetime is up.
Love to see your stat on 85 to 1 - all the polls said Trump was not gonna be President yet here we are.
You made a bad assumption about me on extrajudicial killing.

Re: Sensible Gun Control
Trump was pretty much always within the margin of error and the trend was in his favor late. I don’t rely on “headlines”. As for extra judicial killing, I may have misread your post about blowing up the boat in the backyard with the suspect in it. If I did, my mistake.LandM wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 10:51 am TLD,

Re: Sensible Gun Control

Re: Sensible Gun Control
That is, of course, a nonsensical analysis. The appropriate data to be examining is the firearm death rate. On that list, the United States is alone in the top 20 among economically advanced and developed nations. You won’t find any European nations or the developed nations of Asia in that top 20 list.get it to x wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 7:48 am USA is #1 in gun ownership and #104 in violent crime. Great Britain has virtually no private gun ownership (possession of handguns is illegal) and yet USA has less than 1/4 the number of violent crimes per 100,000 people. Correlation?
Many are calling for a sharp knife ban in England. Next we will have to bubble wrap everyone so 100% safety is assured.
Who else is in the top 20 firearms death rate list with the United States? Some US territories (US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico), but also Afghanistan, Guyana, Mexico, El Salvador, Colombia, Jamaica ... you get the picture.

That’s not a top 20 list the United States should be on. Those who support the gun industry and America’s idolatrous gun culture are morally complicit in the over 37,000 annual gun deaths in our nation.
