Re: Gun Control

I would agree that I do not loose too much sleep over what Yoko Ono says.

She must have got that stat of 1,057,000 US citizens dying from gun violence in the USA since 1980 from somewhere.

That is more than the equivalent of every current citizen of Boston and Tulsa.

SalesSerivceGuy since she got that stats from somewhere

Appearing on MSNBC Thursday, Rep. Charlie Rangelassault weapons," citing numbers that fall far short of the numbers reported by the FBI, The Blaze reported,

According to FBI crime statistics, 12,664 murders were committed in 2011, a tiny fraction of the "millions" cited by Rangel. Of those murders, 8583 involved firearms and rifles were used in 323

"Using the 2011 total gun-related murder rate, it would take more than 116 years for one million people to be killed by a firearm. Additionally, it would take more than 2,793 years for one million people to be killed with rifles, or what Rangel calls 'assault weapons,' according to the 2010 FBI data," Howerton explained.

Apparently you don't lose much sleep over what anybody says, you just keep on blathering like an idiot - Example: From the article regarding a study by American Green Berets stating that swapping magazines in a handgun or assault rifle takes approximately 6 seconds for the unskilled - less with practice - and that nearly all the mass shootings were conducted with low capacity magazines and plenty of spares to swap out.

Yes the Colorado shooter stole an AR15 - it has been confirmed (though not widely reported in the liberal media) that it WAS NOT used in the shooting. In fact, approx 30% more people are killed each year with hammers than rifles of any type - this includes single shot squirrel guns and deer rifles which hold no more than 5 rounds - weapons which FAR outnumber "assault rifles"

Now once and for all, DIRECTLY answer the question: How does limiting the rights of honest gun owners do anything to prevent the violence of criminals?

If you can't do that, shut the hell up and concentrate on the problems in your own country - you know nothing about the American gun culture.

Yes lot's of Professional Wrestlers have that many followers there too. Who cares?
And who knows if that number exists in realty?
I can tell you if you watch the mainstream news you will think there are high noon gunfights all over the country.

It's male bovine fecal matter. Most of the press have their head so far up the President's posterior it would snap their necks if he turned the corner quickly.

Re: Gun Control

It is kinda funny how some people think the solution to rampant gun violence is more guns. Makes you wonder.

Have you any idea how rampant gun sales are just simply because the govt. wants to limit them?
If they want less of them they need to shut up about it. Because people know they have the right to own them and if they feel threatened....whther you think they should feel that way or not....they will try and defend themselves.

Re: Gun Control

"Since Dec 1980, when John Lennon was shot to death outside his New York apartment, 1,057,000 American citizens have been murdered with firearms!"

Yoko Ono?

Ok......I'm sorry.......

Yoko Ono?
RIP John Lennon and I feel for her there but she is one of the last people on this planet whose advice I really want on anything.

Re: Gun Control

Winning a crackdown on gun traffickers may be the best that President Barack Obama can get in his faltering efforts to have Congress pass gun control legislation.

Lawmakers are scaling back the White House's ambitions for sweeping gun control measures after a planned ban on assault weapons was effectively ruled out in the Senate this week.


Two senators involved in the gun debate said on Wednesday that a bill to tackle trafficking looks like it is the gun control measure with the most chance of success.

Trafficking crackdown may be Obama's best chance on gun control

"Those will pass," Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Reuters. "Trafficking firearms is a serious problem," he said.

A push to impose a limit of 10 bullets on high-capacity ammunition clips is also likely to die in the Senate through lack of support from both Republicans who traditionally oppose gun control and pro-gun Democrats, some of whom fear being targeted by a National Rifle Association lobbying campaign.

Maybe the US gov should look at it's self to crack down on gun trafficing.....Can you say Fast and Furious?? Eric Holder and Oblama just want to cut down on the competition.......

Re: Gun Control

Colorado governor John Hickenlooper signs new gun control legislation

New legislation makes background checks mandatory for private and online gun sales and bans sale of large magazine rounds

"...and ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds."

Colorado governor John Hickenlooper signs new gun control legislation | World news | guardian.co.uk

Hickenlooper said large-capacity magazines "have the potential to turn killers into killing machines." He also said he realized some gun owners may be inconvenienced but that "the potential for damage seems to outweigh, significantly, the inconvenience that people would have," he said.

Hickenlooper also signed requiring buyers to pay fees for background checks.... $10.00 .

Re: Gun Control

Pretty funny I have to admit. Potentially just sheer coincidence but an interesting fact none the less. With only 2 majour parties in the US it's reasonable to assume a 50-50 chance of being either Dem or Lib. Granted those aren't quite the figures if you include fringe parties etc...

Sorry Akitu there is no blurry line between Dem and Lib, They are one in the same...wolf in sheeps clothing....

PS. good thing that I have an Ausie shepard to keep them out of the herd.

Re: Gun Control

Some one out side of your country with limited knowledge should not be making waves in a situation that has no bearing what so ever on their own way of life.

I wouldn't say no bearing what so ever necessarily. There's always a trickle down effect.

Re: Gun Control

I just find it amazing that someone who doesn't live in America would think they know more about my country than I do.
