Hey, I know you only spew and do not read and take in any information, but I never said anything about gun control and in fact have posted many dozens of times I oppose gun control. I also oppose righties who deflect and deny that there is a gun violence problem in this US and that promoting for more guns and for people to use guns to shoot others is NOT helping, rather, in fact it contributes to the gun violence problem.
Yet you say nothing about why you threw out the race card in a gun control thread. You certainly aren't denying what I posted.
I didn't throw out any race card. I replied to a racist.
There was nothing racist in his post. You threw out the race card instead of replying to his comments logically and factually.
Blinders do not look good on you.
You're the one who threw out the race card responding to a post about a large number of shootings in Chicago. Dislike me all you want, but you can't even delete your posts now to cover it up since I've quoted you every time.
Dude. This thread is about the top 10 state's with the highest rates of gun deaths. You and your fellow Rightys want to derail it because you want to deflect away from the truth. Ultra right wing states dominate that list.
Agreed about a thread on gun deaths, so why did you throw the race card out again and get all pissy when called on it?
That's the point, most victims of gun violence are criminals, with some victims. So many point out Detroit, but if you break down the numbers most are gang related.
Agreed. I doubt many dispute that the major cause of violence in Chicago is criminal gangs. The problem isn't law-biding citizens with guns, it's criminals with guns. They need to solve the gang problem if they want to reduce violence in Chicago. Simply passing a feel good law about "assault weapons" and high capacity magazines isn't going to fix the problem there anymore than it would have stopped Dylann Roof from his murderous rampage.
So what?
He's trying to present evidence that guns are bad and, therefore, should be banned or, at least, heavily regulated. By discussing the topic, people can poke holes in that over-simplified mentality.
I know -- I was being ironic. Two-thirds of all "gun deaths" (a term that promotes a lot of irony), are suicides and accidents. I've yet to run across a gun control advocate who can tell me how making it hard for the millions of gun owners who cause no problem and commit no crimes, will somehow reduce accidents and suicides. The only thing that would reduce firearms related accidents or suicides, of course, would be a total ban on firearms -- something those touting "common sense" gun control laws say they don't desire.
They claim that's not what they desire, but that is certainly the direction they are headed.
one would think that since I don't live there, I shouldn't care that the residents of those states kill their friends and family and themselves at higher rates, but I do care.
shouldn't you be out shooting someone?
here, have a hanky Boar
like in your city in Ohio.............LMAO
