Hey brah, from what I quote below from your link, nowhere does it mention that more guns are responsible for anything. Maybe you need a new link, one that supports your fartsmoke.School children have a 2nd Amendment right to carry at school. Why doesn’t the NRA support them?
No, actually, they don't. They are considered minors and do not yet have access to all of their Rights. You should really try harder before you post.
"A vote for any democrat is a vote to end the 2nd Amendment!
Gun Registration = Gun confiscation
17.25 million Americans carry guns. Gun murder in U.S. down 49% since 1990s.
17.25 million Americans carry guns. Gun crime in U.S. down 75% since 1990s.
17 .25 million Americans carry guns. Violent crime down 72% since the 1990s."
nonsense. some democrats want to ban all weapons but most don't. I know I don't. I have no problem with you owning pistols and rifles. I would even agree to your owning automatic weapons as long as you were properly trained and licensed. I don't know a lot of people these days but of the few democrats I know almost ALL of them have at least 1 weapon. 1 has just a pistol and another one has a bunch of hunting rifles and goes hunting for deer every few years.
Did you know that in 1936 the germans litigated gun control and confiscation.....but only for NON white aryan germans!.......Would you be more amenable to gun confiscation if a conservative government promised they would ONLY take guns from liberals and progressives?
What part of my information that you listed is nonsense...please, be specific.
Here .... let me start you out...
First... yes...any vote for a democrat is a vote to end the 2nd Amendment...since the democrat party leadership gains more power with each democrat party office holder, and the entire leadership of the democrat party wants to ban and confiscate guns.
Second...
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17.25 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
"What is Behind the Crime Decline?
Researchers continue to debate the key factors behind changing crime rates, which is part of a larger discussion about the predictors of crime.3 There is consensus that demographics played some role: The outsized post-World War II baby boom, which produced a large number of people in the high-crime ages of 15 to 20 in the 1960s and 1970s, helped drive crime up in those years.
A review by the National Academy of Sciences of factors driving recent crime trends (Blumstein and Rosenfeld, 2008) cited a decline in rates in the early 1980s as the young boomers got older, then a flare-up by mid-decade in conjunction with a rising street market for crack cocaine, especially in big cities. It noted recruitment of a younger cohort of drug seller with greater willingness to use guns. By the early 1990s, crack markets withered in part because of lessened demand, and the vibrant national economy made it easier for even low-skilled young people to find jobs rather than get involved in crime.
At the same time, a rising number of people ages 30 and older were incarcerated, due in part to stricter laws, which helped restrain violence among this age group. It is less clear, researchers say, that innovative policing strategies and police crackdowns on use of guns by younger adults played a significant role in reducing crime.
Some researchers have proposed additional explanations as to why crime levels plunged so suddenly, including increased access to abortion and lessened exposure to lead. According to one hypothesis, legalization of abortion after the 1973 Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision resulted in fewer unwanted births, and unwanted children have an increased risk of growing up to become criminals. Another theory links reduced crime to 1970s-era reductions in lead in gasoline; children’s exposure to lead causes brain damage that could be associated with violent behavior. The National Academy of Sciences review said it was unlikely that either played a major role, but researchers continue to explore both factors."
