Every single day in America, an armed citizen prevents a violent crime.

They also ignore the fact that it's an island with a population less than our two largest (border) states.

exactly.

It's like living in MI if there were almost 70 million people crammed in

 

[berg80]

Irrelevant hypothetical.

There will always be swimming pools just as there will always be people who own guns

It's irrelevant that more guns results in more gun violence? Not to the folks getting shot.

Name of one of the books?

The Anarchist's Cookbook

UK: Youth Jailed for Owning Book

His “offense” was possessing a book freely available on the Internet to anyone who wants it. A FORMER BRITISH STUDENT who was given a suspended prison sentence and told to read classic literature after being convicted of the preposterous “terrorism offense” of owning a book has now been jailed.

What does the UK have to do with the US? Nothing.

So.......no crime in the UK?

Criminals with guns are the problem but we don't enforce our gun laws.

How many people would drown in a swimming pool if there were none?

How many would die in car accidents if the speed limit were 25?

 

[Blues Man]

So.......no crime in the UK?

Actually there's lots of crim in the UK. Even people who defend themselves from home invaders get arrested and charged with crimes. People who own the "wrong" books get arrested and thrown in jail .

Why on earth do you people want the US to be more like the UK?

 

[DukeU]

So.......no crime in the UK?

Plenty.

** British violent crime is now over SIX times the US rate

 

[berg80]

Criminals with guns are the problem but we don't enforce our gun laws.

The proliferation of gun ownership is the problem as illustrated by the data.

 

[berg80]

Why on earth do you people want the US to be more like the UK?

How on earth did you arrive at that convoluted conclusion?

 

[zaangalewa]

Wrong. If you were correct then all murderers would be deemed insane.

Whatelse than insane could be a murderer? You said by the way here on your own that suicide is a form of murder.

 

[Blues Man]

The proliferation of gun ownership is the problem as illustrated by the data.

Nope

People who own guns LEGALLY are not the problem and never have been.

In fact civilians with concealed carry permits are one of the most law abiding groups of people in the country

 

[Blues Man]

How on earth did you arrive at that convoluted conclusion?

People love to say we should have gun laws like the UK.

But be careful what you wish for

 

[berg80]

People who own guns LEGALLY are not the problem and never have been.

Once again, that's not what the data or common sense says. More guns = more gun violence (like accidental shootings) no matter whose hands the guns are in.

 

[Captain Caveman]

Nope

And they don't worry about gun regulations because gun regulations don't effect suitable people. See how it works!!!!!!!!

 

[Blues Man]

Once again, that's not what the data or common sense says. More guns = more gun violence (like accidental shootings) no matter whose hands the guns are in.

Accidental shootings are a red herring.

there are less than 500 accidental deaths caused by guns annually out of literally tens of millions of legal gun uses.

The entire idea that accidents can be100% eliminated is just plain stupid.

 

[Blues Man]

And they don't worry about gun regulations because gun regulations don't effect suitable people. See how it works!!!!!!!!

Yes criminals don't worry about regulations because they are criminals. AND we have chosen not to enforce the gun laws we have on the books

Why is it that guns are the only thing you want to get rid of when there are many things we use on a daily basis that kill people?

 

[TheReaper]

Why is it that guns are the only thing you want to get rid of when there are many things we use on a daily basis that kill people?

The same reason Hitler and Stalin and all authoritarian regimes want to get rid of guns.

The average democrat voter is a dupe and a moron and does not even realize the real motivations behind these democrat party policies.
