We have added 86,000,000,000 (Not including the illegal aliens spike in population)....


More of just about everything is being produce due to the increase in population sport.

Oooooooh.

Now do total violent crime since ‘86. Maybe even graph the two so the results are little more dramatic.

Then come back here and tell everyone how stupid you are.

Your argument sounds good on paper. Problem is the facts aren't on your side. Check the murder rate in the 80's and compare it to the murder rate since 2000.

So you have chosen to blame an inanimate object for human behavior?

What are some other inanimate objects you hold to a similar accountability?

Also, question for you about society at large. With the overwhelming onslaught of various media and it’s influences; would you censor thought? Facebook? Twitter? Movies? Music?

To what extent are you willing to relieve individuals of personal accountability?

Research Saturday night specials of 60s and 70s. This line of reasoning is old, tired, and incorrect.

Accessibility has nothing to do with murder. Evil, fame, and mental deficiency is the cause. Gun free killing fields offer the opportunity.

My family to my grand parents have over 555 armed-man-years and 0 murders. That’s over 200,000 days with guns and not one murder, accidental death, or suicide.

Do you want to ban automobiles too genius?


Well, no. But we recognize them as potentially dangerous and mandate that insurance is part of the deal. Can we apply your same standard across the board, since you think the two are so clearly comparable?

Are you fricking retarded?

We don't insure an automobile because it's dangerous like weapon. It's insured, primarily, because it doesn't belong to you - it belongs to the bank and they demand it's coverage in the event a retard - like you, does something retarded.
We carry insurance after the automobile is paid off because those same banks lobbied the legal system and demanded that when a retard like you, in his paid off car, does stupid shite - you pay for their car.

But mass shootings are going up.

Which even the most rudimentary logic will conclude that guns aren't the issue.

The ‘root cause’ has nothing to do with the volume of firearms. The problem is the end-days/nihilism that is fed by both the media and social media. You want to reduce these events? How about giving kids th peace of mind of not being traumatized by fake panic chicken little bullshite every minute of every day?

We need less people with no connection and no hope. That’s the solution.

I own a dozen sniper rifles ranging in caliber from 308 to 338 lapuas and none have been used in a crime. It isn’t the weapons it’s the people using them
