Needed Domestic Disarment, Not 'Gun control '

Where did I say there wasn't a distinction? If I had meant to say gun owner, I would have. I don't have a problem with gun owners. My beef is with guns nuts, who think their rights are more important than everyone elses.

My same philosophy with Muslims, I have no problems with Muslima. Only the ones that want to kill us and think thier religious nuttery over idea my constitution.

well you're selling yourself and the constitution short if you focus on an entire religious population as opposed to focusing directly on the source. trying to manage and track so many completely innocent americans is a waste of time and resources.

But proving that unemployment has fallen (or not fallen) won't prove that murder rates have fallen with rising gun ownership.

Numbers shouldn't be taken at face value. People who lost money in Enron would have learned that the hard way.

But gun homicides HAVE fallen over the past couple decades while gun ownership has risen. Can you dispute that?

Its not a debate either of us will win and I can't say I'm bothered about it either way. Just object to the comment that numbers should be taken at face value.

I don't understand that.

Mass shootings seem to happen an awful lot in US vs. Other places

has gun ownership risen or has the number of guns in circulation risen? everything i read says that gun ownership is declining. makes sense to me that more families are passing on gun ownership, but those that do own guns - don't just own one or two or fifty..

I guess you just dont get the point or don't want to. More laws will not stop people hell bent on killing others.

Not really. If you look at the rate per 100k people.

Stop getting your news from Obama.

That's why ATF and the FBI aka letter boys, should do their job

how could i not get that when the weapons used in san bernardino were purchased legally and the guy who shot up the planned parenthood wasn't allowed to have guns - but he did. ease of access is really the only factor we can control. the alternative is forcing every citizen to own and carry a weapon. and i really don't think that's what you want either.

and you ignore the fact that mass shootings don't happen so often ANYWHERE ELSE.

You're from England right? How many mass shootings can you name?

More or less than USA?
