Okay, what about an M80? that's pretty loud and could be mistaken for a gunshot. Communities have asked their neighbors nicely to NOT set off fireworks because it might trigger the PTSD of veterans.
So what? Poor people are paying taxes, shell games aside.
Because it's irrelevant. Poor people pay sales and payroll taxes to support people like you... you pay taxes to support them. It all balances out. The point being that we spend 2.5 TRILLION on Middle Class entitlements and less than $500 billion on poverty relief.
You first, Welfare Ray.
83% of homicides are domestic violence of some sort. i.e. victims know their killers. Restricting gun ownership would reduce a lot.
But beyond that, you take a look at your spree killers, most of them had no criminal record before they started shooting up schools, theaters, shopping malls. Yes, the people in their lives knew they were crazy, but they were able to get guns, anyway.
Manufacturing guns is a lot more complicated than making drugs. If you stated holding gun sellers liable, damn straight they'd start paying attention to who they sell to.
Again, 83% of gun deaths are domestic. you take the gun, you don't lock people up because the jails are ALREADY overcrowded.
And they've been crowded since the commie judges made them lowlife play grounds. Hey, if you commit this crime I'm going to give you five years in a place where half your friends and family are, three squares a day plus snacks if your family or friends donate to your prison account, a workout room, a pool room, an outside field to play sports in, limited internet and cable television. So don't you dare commit that crime.
You must have a lot of friends and family on your streets since people are gunning each other down by the dozens every week. The main driver are drug sales. As for what I collect, I paid into the program all of my life so nobody is supporting me. If you want to remain ignorant about taxes that's up to you. The rest of us know how things work in this country. An M-80 sounds like a gun. But I shot guns before in the make believe military.
