Oh so NOW you guys want to pretend to care about Americans being killed.
Guns account for far more deaths than illegal aliens. What do you propose we do about that?
We'll meet you halfway and offer you thoughts and prayers.
Vehicles kill more Americans than guns. So what?
Want to see what America will look like without guns? Do this: Get a huge sign made that says
WE HAVE NO FIREARMS IN THIS HOUSE and hang that on your front porch. Get back to us in a month or two (if you're still alive) and let us know how it worked out.
So then multiple deaths isn't an excuse for legislation. Got it. Next time try saying that rather than your obvious bullshit attempt to appeal to emotion.
"
Oh no, people are dying! We need to do something!!!! (Except when it comes to cars and guns, because we like those things and we don't want to change those things, regardless of how many people die from them. **** those people anyway.)"
Legislation is fine if it's proven to solve or reduce a problem. However we have empirical evidence that such laws don't. For instance CA and Chicago are renown for gun deaths, yet they have the strictest laws on the books against guns.
Can you explain why you think California is renown for gun deaths?
Well we can't ignore the huge population of course. Same thing in Chicago. But the point I'm making is that guns are not the problem and taking them away is not the solution. On the right we always point out how high gun violence is in these liberal cities or states, and the left points out how violent some conservative states are that have favorable gun laws. The bottom line is it's not the guns, it's the people.
Each side wants to expand their bases. On the left, the two largest groups of people are victims and government dependents. By removing guns from the good people, we all become victims because the party leaders on the left know damn well the criminals will always be able to get guns. Once our guns are gone, what do we do about crime and violent crime? We beg government to do something about it.
The Democrats don't hate guns, they hate the idea we have the ability to protect ourselves; take care of potential problems. If we can take care of ourselves, then who needs government around?
