Lessons from carrying a gun for 8 years......

[Vastator]

Well, except the army thought I was fine to carry a gun for 11 years.
My MOS was 76Y. I was entrusted to keep track of all the guns...er Rifles.
This is my rifle, this is my gun... this is for killing, this is for fun.

The government has hardly been a reliable judge of competency, and character...

Yeah like I trust the the government

Tell me how many times has the government trusted unhinged people?

And I watched that movie too big deal.

I saw that same movie liar.

We have 29,000 gun suicides and 800 gun accidents a year... Yes, yes, they do.

Just saying.

So I'm all for keeping guns out of the hands of non-normal people. Let's have psych tests before we sell anyone a gun, and have required psych tests before you can keep your home arsenal.

I don't think that's going to work out for the hard core ammosexuals.

Suicides are not a gun issue, since most of Europe, Japan, South Korea and China, as well as Canada, have higher suicide rates than we do, almost every year...........

No, we do not have 800 accidental gun deaths a year....2020 we had 535.......and most of those happen because the criminals that the democrats release from prison, keep their illegal guns where they can get them, so the children living with their baby momma get those guns......

 

[JoeB131]

Yeah like I trust the the government

You mean how many times did the government give unhinged people guns because the NRA has made it impossible to protect us from them.

Suicides are not a gun issue,

Yes, they are...

Stop lying traitor. People commit suicide not guns, troll.

 

[JoeB131]

Stop lying traitor. People commit suicide not guns, troll.

Still not adding anything to a conversation.

People without guns have a harder time killing themselves with people with guns... it's just simple math.

And you're a liar. There is no discussion with scum like you. All you do is spew lies. Traitor.

A new report by Unicef contains a shocking statistic - New Zealand has by far the highest youth suicide rate in the developed world.
A shock but no surprise - it's not the first time the country tops that table.
The Unicef report found New Zealand's youth suicide rate - teenagers between 15 and 19 - to be the highest of a long list of 41 OECD and EU countries.
The rate of 15.6 suicides per 100,000 people is twice as high as the US rate and almost five times that of Britain.

Point was, you lied... The US actually is higher than nearly all those other countries you listed except South Korea.. where we were just slightly below.

The US has one of the highest suicide rates in the world...because guns are too easy to get.

No...I didn't lie.......every single year they have a higher suicide rate than the U.S.......except one year.....you have to explain the decades of their having a higher suicide rate than the U.S.........and our rate follows the Chinese Flu as the democrats shut down our country.......

 

[JoeB131]

No...I didn't lie.......every single year they have a higher suicide rate than the U.S.......except one year.

No, guy, you lied.

Let's look at some years that aren't 2019. Note we are higher than Japan or Europe.

 

[marvin martian]

Or she just deluded until thinking a gun makes her safe.

Hopefully, no one in her life will shoot themselves with her gun, as happened to two people I've known.

Stop hanging out with scumbags and disturbed people.

 

[JoeB131]

Stop hanging out with scumbags and disturbed people.

We have 44,000 suicides a year in this country. They aren't scumbags and you probably can't get through life without knowing of someone that's happened to.

The two suicides I know of.

My terminally ill neighbor shot himself.
A coworkers depressed son shot himself.

Not sure why you spend so much time being an awful person.

If they'd hanged themselves instead, you wouldn't care.

 

[Mr Natural]

I've carried one for 27 years.

How about a crash helmet?

Body armor?

Lightning arrestor?

It’s a dangerous world out there and shit happens you know.

 

[JoeB131]

If they'd hanged themselves instead, you wouldn't care.

If they hanged themselves, they might have had a better chance of being saved.
