You have argued some legitimate points in our exchanges, but much of what is given above (and in your prior post) is just a partisan rant.
I accept that anti-gun arguments can go too far, and that crowded places are part of that which contributes to violence. You need to accept that another...
I've pasted only a part of one of your many paste-rants in which you present an unbalanced selection of evidence which is not aimed at objective truth but at singling out problems in Democratic Cities and States. ALL big cities have problems, red, blue and otherwise. Get your head out of your...
What a load of crap.
Six oversized post laden with paste in what, nine minutes? You assessed the "exactness" of all that in less then ten minutes? One more time, who the **** do you think you are kidding. You are playing games and I'm wise to it.
Your purpose isn't to engage honest...
Yes, proximate assault weapons might have been avoided in some cases, in other cases, a more thorough background screening might have kept weapons out of the wrong hands. Prudent people are willing to pursue the possibilities.
Cities with their denser populations bring greater attraction for...
Who the hell do you think you are kidding with your rapid-fire avalanche of paste?
I'd like to add a sample of my own, and do note that it is just a sample, a citing of a half dozen of lengthy dips into paste.
At 10:40 you gave post #742, at 10:41 post #743, and at 10:43 post #745. All of...
Care to compare California's per capita violence to the other 49 states?
Does California make mistakes. Yes their shit stinks just like wherever it is that you hail.
I'm going to try a different approach. I'll suggest to you that there are no absolutes. Regarding gun violence, do you...
So you say, but can you point to the evidence that this is the complete causation? I accept that part of what you say is correct. You need to similarly allow that lax gun laws are part of the problem. We will not solve the problems without taking a broad view of its nature.
So, you are suggesting that we should raise taxes and build more prisons? Don't we already have more per capita incarcerations than any other country?
Blaming the Democratic Party is bullshit. The other side has control of the country half of the time.
I won't bother looking as that was not my point. Further, I can't quote something that exist only in faith claimed by mere mortals.
I simply reacted to one of those mortals pulling the God Card.
The fallacy you employ in directing your argument at me is that I do not seek to disarm you. I seek only to interject an element of common sense to who, where and what manner of firearms are possessed.
As for Native Americans, many died as you state, others died because we wanted their land...
You worked hard at this post, but I must protest that a small sample, does not carry the day. The issue isn't whether some gun owners have stopped some violence. The issue is whether that undefined positive justifies the carnage arising from the millions and millions of guns circulating in...
I find legitimacy in numerous of your remarks but suggest that the problem should not be reduced to lesser (or greater) evils. Whatever the Europeans killed has little to do with whether or not we need more restraint with firearms.
Btw, if we are going to go down that path, how many people...
Wasn't there a reference to God?
I have no general objection to religion - but I do not appreciate a counterpoint made on merit of what God has supposedly said. There is a distinct difference between viewing something as common sense, natural right verses something offered as ordained by...
