I wish just once bamaATL wouldn't run away. Claims he's all about saving lives but put forward tangible ideas and goals that will give results and he abandons thread.
Like the whole "prevalence of guns leads to high suicide numbers"*
*except when it doesn't. But those examples dont count.
Or the whole we need background and mental health checks on firearms but selling alcohol to a repeat domestic abuse offender Is perfectly fine.
Or the whole "think of the children and I want to save lives"*
*except lives taken from alcohol/tobacco/sugar. Those deaths don't mean shite.

The crux of the argument is that adding additional obstacles (in this case, waiting periods) to gun purchases helps to lower gun violence.
That study doesn't prove waiting periods to be any sort of obstacle. Waiting periods, in theory, are meant to be a preventive of crimes of passion and also to allow for all background information to come in. The NICS system has eliminated the need of the later and without relevant data, which that study does not provide, there is no evidence that it reduces crimes of passion either.
quote:
They used homicides, not shootings. Because there wouldn't be any appreciable difference between medical care in states with and without waiting periods that would bias it one way or the other - it's all in the US.
If that's your hypothesis, then there's no reason not to use shootings rather than homicides.
quote:
Very cogent critique.
That was the summary of the multiple responses I gave to the study. Once again, your reading comprehension is terrible (which is why this thread is so long).
There is zero evidence that waiting periods actually save any sort of significant number of lives and the study you posted doesn't prove that in any way.

You still haven't answered me
Do you agree?

Sigh. You guys bitch and moan about lives, but you don't give a damn about them when the rubber hits the road. So fricking sad.
So you agree that my friend's suicide using a car means that you shouldn't have the right to own a vehicle then
Do you agree?

Someone on this board previously said that if the press were forced to exercise, say, a 60-day waiting period before publishing any mass murderer's personal details - name, bio, photo, anything - we'd cut cut these incidents way the hell down.
I suspect this is true.

That's what I love about hacks like him. You present an example using their own logic then they disappear.
Reminds me of the guy on Tucker that said "you're the gender you claim to be". Tucker asked him if it was ok if he, who has the appearance of a man, applied for a Woman's SBA loan. The guy said it was a preposterous argument. Emotion is #1 for these people. Bama is a prime example of that.

What does that have to do with gun control?

The main thing that attracts me about 2nd amendment rights is the peace of mind that regardless how big and mean the threat bursting into my home may be, I have a somewhat equal chance to defend myself. 3 guys with baseball bats in a no gun society leaves little ole me with one baseball bat in a hopeless situation. The other thing is a national emergency situation would crop up with "every man for himself" scenario, I would stand some chance. Maybe, the outcome would be the same as if I had no gun, but i would sleep well throughout my life, and probably not ever need the guns.

Oh, so once again austintigerdad is incapable of sarcasm. I swear, it's almost a requirement for leftists these days.

Granted, less than 1% of gun murders are mass shootings. Yet these seem to get most of the attention.

I you couldn't grasp the fact that that was tongue-in-cheek, then there's no hope for you.

Bamaatl is just beyond simple. Access to guns causes more suicides! (Ignore all the countries with damn near zero private gun ownership with sky high suicide rates)
We should make sure the people who buy guns are mentally sound!
What? You're a habitual woman beater? Here's your pint of whiskey. Happy hitting! Oh you're suicidal? Here's your death juice to get the courage to off yourself!
We should focus on reducing needless deaths at the hands of guns (36,000 a year including suicide)
Have all the alcohol, tobacco, sugar you want! Who cares if over half a million people die as a result of alcohol/tobacco/sugar consumption.
In short... If you look up the word "hypocrite" in a dictionary, you get a one word definition. "BamaATL"

Just like all of their causes, they love the idea that it makes them feel morally superior to others because they "support life" yet conveniently ignore, and actually embrace and support, things like transgederism that end in a 40% suicide rate. If gun ownership resulted in those numbers, they'd be losing their fricking minds.

That's not the transgenders fault. That's the fault of us "cis" people who just don't get it

Yep.
Just like it's not the fault of Chicago's inner city population, it's the fault of Indiana citizens being able to buy guns.
