Re: Gun Control

I mostly travel to Florida, Arizona or California on business or vacations.

I seem to get most of my threatening posts from Mississippi so consider it a polite push back.

Well I have to admit there servicesaleguy. You are really starting to piss people off here.

We get it.

Amercans are FAT, Amercans are trigger happy , low IQ's . Plenty more if you think about it.

I'll tell you something. Yes we have guns in this country and some people get killed.

Go ahead and insult us some more.

I don't know why he is so adamant about all of US ( especially here in Mississippi { or " Land Mass " as the media so fondly refers to our state } being so FAT ....

I understand that some people live in a world filled with crime filled paranoia that motivates them to purchase firearms for personal safety. That is their right and no one is trying to take that right away.

For example, Mississippi, has the 4th highest annual firearms death rates per 100,000 in the USA at 16.8. and the 8th highest % of households that own a gun at around 53%. The National average is around 45%.

Maybe we just look fat 'cause we carry more weapons ( some of us do this for self-defense ) than anyone else in the whole United States.

I doubt that he has actually been to the Great and Beautiful state of Mississippi ....
He has probably only asked Mr. Google about us .....

Mr. Sales & Service Guy ; Just remember that a lot of us do not live in ' YOUR EUPHORIC LAND ' ... so , we try to do the best we can ; and ; some of us are proud of what we have accomplished .

I found that link about DHS stock piling ammo.

A Republican senator, Tom Coburn, from Oklahoma investigated and seemed OK with the answers.

I'll tell you something. Yes we have guns in this country and some people get killed. But you up in Canada can say thank you for YOUR country being free. If the U.S. was not here. Lets just say it's a ocean where the bourder is then you folks up north would be speaking russian or something. 20 million people in your country. How big of a military do you have. Think it's big enough to go to war with Russia? Most of the folks in Canada live within 20 miles of the U.S. boarder. Look at the food on your dinner table. If it wasn't for the U.S. then you would be starving .

Go ahead and insult us some more.

Kinda full of yourself aren't you.
I am not trying to insult anyone here, but, your country pokes its finger in everybody elses pie, death squads in South America, installing dictators, training terrorists. It is a little scary being beside you. lol

Re: Gun Control

Fox News Network video interviewed a US Republican senator last night who challenged the Dept of Homeland Security's recent large purchase of ammo. I apologize, I can no longer find the link.

In summary,

1) It is not actually a purchase of ammo. It is a Gov't RFQ offer to purchase that much ammo to establish a significant discount.
2).The Dept of Homeland Security projects that its actual purchases of ammo will be less than previous years and has been consistent with many years levels of actual purchases.

At the end of the video clip, the Republican senator expressed satisfaction with the answers.

Re: Gun Control

The Communist News Network? The most liberal and leftist news outlet in the US? Self-admittedly biased, and stocked with liberals 10 to 1? And you really think you're getting even part of the real story? You're dumber than I though.

The shortage in ammo is partially caused by DHS buying up ammo by the ton... and just what do you think they need all that for?

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but when the department of our government charged with security within our borders begins buying more ammo than the army, etc. who are charged with securing the country as a whole, you gotta wonder what they're preparing for. Hence the other cause of the shortages: the conspiracy theorists stocking up.

Re: Gun Control

Thanks "fixthecopier for" that previous post.

In essence, it states that there are no wrong or right answers to gun control in the USA. There are always answers/ counter answers.

For example, this article

10 Pro-Gun Myths, Shot Down | Mother Jones

somewhat disputes what your article says.

This makes me question the bias of both the editor you propose and the editor I counter with. Are they both pandering to lobby groups who might fund them money. There are a lot of dollars at stake.

It is a very complicated subject that I have been following daily for months.

For example, today CNN reported, although after trying hard to to find the link, I cannot find the link, that employment in the gun ammo industry has spiked due to shortages in hardware and ammo. This run on demand has created increased employment in northeastern states that have seen heavy industry leave them. Albeit these jobs are not permanent as employers do not know how long the current boom in manufacturing will last but politicians cannot refuse to ignore come next election cycle.

Re: Gun Control

Another unnecessary death.

Read more: Homeowner fired warning before fatally shooting teen intruder, sheriff says | Fox News

If all the homeowner had was a Louisville Slugger, then the teen would have died of blunt force trauma. The weapon is immaterial - the boy was clearly in a deranged state, entered someone else's home in a very suspicious manner, failed to respond to any warnings, and was headed toward the man's family. I agree the teen wasn't dangerous, just drunk and stupid, but he could easily have been hopped up on other drugs, and extremely dangerous - I would have defended my family as well.

I would call that a lesson in drug/alcohol abuse.

SalesServiceGuy, posting stuff like this, and not answering simple questions is losing you credibility by the second. Stick to something you know.

That's a shame, it really is, still that's what you get when society tries to prevent stupid people from experiencing any harm.

Re: Gun Control

How does everyone having a gun reduce gun violence?

Deterrence. The areas with the strictest gun laws also have the highest crime rates - look at Chicago. Areas that started issuing CCW permits saw a very notable reduction in home invasions and muggings, etc. - look at Florida about a dozen years ago.
