You are confused Moon Bat.A plane isn't a weapon.

irrelevant. A plane is not designed as a weapon
but they were used to kill over three thousand people in one day nevertheless.
Secondly, when I show that ARs were used in six out of the ten worst mass shootings, you seize on this as an "AHA!" moment. However, it only means they were used in slightly more than half of the worst shootings.
Exactly it's not designed as a weapon. guns are. Assault rifles are specifically designed to kill a lot of people.
One time... 21 years ago. Compared to Guns, that kill 43,000 people every year. That's like 14 9/11's every year.
But to compare. When we had ONE TIME planes being used like that, we started x-raying every fool who walked into an airport, we covered them with bomb smelling dogs, we make people take their shoes off because one idiot lit his shoes on fire. We strip search people with Islamic sounding names, because. We put armed air marshalls on the planes and we put steel doors in the cockpits.
Yet the carnage goes on and on and on, because unlike the Airlines, who lost money as a result of 9/11, the gunmaker keep making money of the carnage. Heck, they WELCOME the carnage, because for every mass shooter or thug who commits a crime with a gun, you get 10 small-dicked white people who rush out to buy guns because they are scared, and no one will tell them a gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a household member than a bad guy.
I guess, if you cherry pick only the worst 10. But removing six out of ten, that's actual progress.
The guns aren't killing anyone. Also, I find it interesting that you're always pointing out how American gun crime is so much higher than most other countries yet you cite worldwide gun crime statistics.
I'm all for making it harder for criminals and people with no respect for the law to circumvent the lawful process to possess firearms.
So? The fact remains that the "10 small-dicked white people" are not the ones murdering people with them.
Nope, 43,000 is the stats for the US.
Sure you are, buddy. Sure you are...
actually, they kind of are.
Of the 43,000 gun deaths, most are suicides and domestic violence, because a gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a household member than a bad guy. The Drive-by gets all the press. The guy who shoots his old lady because she burned the pot-roast doesn't.
I stated Gun Deaths, not gun murders...No, it's not. The stats say 43 per cent of gun deaths are murders (54% are suicides). The actual stats for gun murders is 19,384, not 43,000. Moron.
Well, you guys are invested in the Gun Culture, aren't you?Why would I want criminals to more easily get guns?
Yup, the default of the racist... it's just BLACK people dying, so we shouldn't be bothered.The drive-bys get all the press but that's only half the story. Below is a graph from a CDC article from October 2021 showing firearm murders per 100,000.
I stated Gun Deaths, not gun murders...
Well, you guys are invested in the Gun Culture, aren't you?
Yup, the default of the racist... it's just BLACK people dying, so we shouldn't be bothered.
I'm not invested in any culture but I am invested in the firearms I have. I'm also invested in looking at gun crime logically and realistically and realistically, so called "easy access" to firearms is not a factor or at least, it is not the only factor.
If you think I should be bothered by black people dying in excessive numbers by gun crime then why did you call me racist for pointing it out? In order to deal with a problem we first have to acknowledge there IS one, yes? How do you expect this problem to be solved or alleviated when people are fixated on "small-dick white people" all the time as if they are the only ones responsible for gun crime?
Blacks commit more gun crime per capita than anyone else (Hispanics aren't far behind) and that is the truth. You don't have to be racist to acknowledge it or even to point it out. Like I said before, the numbers speak for themselves.
Sure it is. If you sent the ATF door to door and confiscated every gun, you wouldn't have any gun crime. Obviously, we can't do that, but the guns are the start of the problem.
It's the small dicked white people who make the guns so easy to get...
If you put the gun laws up to a vote in the Hood, we'd have gun control.
When the big cities vote to have gun control like Chicago did, the TDWP rush off to the Supreme Court and get a ridiculous ruling like Heller that overturned 200 years of previous precedent.
Your racism speaks for itself. If it didn't, you wouldn't fight big cities on their gun laws.
Guns are a tool, nothing more. The question we should be asking ourselves is: Why are so many in this country willing to commit murder?
Do you mean to tell me the "Hood" is not voting on these issues? If not, why not?
Manufacturing a firearm is incredibly easy.
All it requires is some basic knowledge of how the machining of tool steel is done and basic physical engineering.
And with today's newer epoxies and ceramics...you can print one in a computer prototyping printer. No steel needed.
The knowledge and skills required to manufacture a gun are elementary at this point...which is why the public school system is in the state it currently is in.
They can't take away what you know. They can take away the largest gun manufacturers...but that leaves tons of small manufacturers.
That's a mischaracterization (and incongruent) parallel.So by your logic, we need to stop the war on drug because anyone can put a meth lab in their house.
That's a mischaracterization (and incongruent) parallel.
Guns are legal. You just don't like them.
ABS systems in vehicles...you like them. But exactly the same techniques and technology that makes them can be applied to manufacture firearms.
We like having good brakes on automobiles...we don't like people who abuse brakes by brake checking others.
That's a more accurate parallel. And it's congruent.
Um, human nature... You don't think there are just as many murderous Brits or Canadians?
The reason we have so many murders is because a murder machine was RIGHT THERE. Which is why so many situations that normally would results in someone just getting a well-deserved beating end up with someone ending up with bullet holes in them instead.
Take our boy Rittenhouse. If the little Flop-Sweaty chicken shit didn't have an AR-15 to make him feel "manly", he'd have stayed the fuck home in Antioch,
and the Kenosha demonstrations would have been a footnote in the TRUMP RIOTS of 2020.
Actually, the VAST MAJORITY of Americans, not just the "hood" support tighter gun laws.
And when they pass a sensible law, the gun industry finds ways to undermine it or challenge it.
Take Chicago. We passed some decent gun laws, and the gun industry just set up gun shops in Indiana and the Surrounding suburbs to sell to the gangbangers. One shop in Indiana sold 800 guns recovered in Chicago crimes.
This is why we need to give the victims of gun violence the ability to sue the gun makers. THey know exactly what they are doing. They just don't care.
So you're saying Trump's rhetoric and actions sparked the riots and not human nature?
Through illegal sales practices. Something you failed to mention the first time you brought that up.
Bombers, Fighter Jets and so on.A plane isn't a weapon.

UmmmmGuns shouldn't be legal. There's no good reason for a Kyle Rittenhouse to be able to buy a military grade weapon, go to a riot and shoot people because he wet himself.
