Gun Control is Completely Useless.

Actually, the phrase "The government shall not" appears nowhere in the Second Amendment, nor anywhere else in the Constitution.
There seems to be some argument about whether "the government shall not" appears in the constitution when the second amendment clearly uses phrases like "shall not be violated". Such argument is mere semantics. Claim whatever victory you want to claim.
And you think Justice Antonin Scalia was a leftist?
I don't know who he is. I was responding to the tone of your post, so i guess the leftist is probably whoever inspired you to write what you did.
You are one funny Canadian. You should take your show on the road, like so many Canadians before you.
Clearly, you appear to have issues with me and many other Canadians.

Dear Dimwit;


The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age


The militia of the United States is "exactly (the) militia organization ....... these nutcases belong to"


Reading Comprehension is a wonderful thing. You should try it.




Hey moron - my question was how many of the shooters belonged to one of these militias. You keep on trying to convince me that the militias already exist; something I know decades ago. Perhaps reading is your problem.

how did the bullet enter the leg, sideways? or point first?
what made the bullet rifle? You do know what happens to a football if you don't give it spin?
The bullet didn't enter the leg. A fragment of the shell did and it severed a tendon at the wrist.

You are a blithering idiot.

clearly you are too arogant to confess your lies.

you told us about a hole in your canvas tent. shrapnel does cut pretty holes in a canvas tent then surgically cuts a tendon when the bullet doesn't even have enough energy to kill teddy bear at 6inches.

newton's 3rd law doesnt get temporarily suspended so a peice of shrapnel can fly with uncanny precision across a campsite, through a canvas tent, then into a tendon of the wrist.

And if you could read, you would understand that everyone in the USA as specified is part of the militia, which already exist..


Jesus man, did you suffer a blow to the head?

Logic has very little to do with the relationship of America's relationship to guns and it is more complicated than what a bullet or fragments of same behaves when exposed to flames or heat.


America is an exceptional country when it comes to guns. It’s one of the few countries in which the right to bear arms is constitutionally protected. But America’s relationship with guns is unique in another crucial way: Among developed nations, the US is far and away the most homicidal — in large part due to the easy access many Americans have to firearms. These maps and charts show what that violence looks like compared with the rest of the world, why it happens, and why it’s such a tough problem to fix.

1) America has six times as many firearm homicides as Canada, and nearly 16 times as many as Germany

"Among developed nations, the US is far and away the most homicidal"


Wrong.


As I have demonstrated over and over and over on these threads.


Once again, here are the tables for Human Development by country, according to the United Nations.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index



Considering only the countries on the Very High Development Index as listed in the article, five have murder rates worse than the USA, and one has a rate roughly comparable:


All numbers per 100,000


United States: 5.35


Lithuania: 5.25 (comparable)


Argentina: 5.94


Uruguay: 7.69


Russia: 10.82


Barbados: 10.91


Bahamas: 28.4


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate



And we haven't even bothered to consider those on the High Development Index, considering we blew your argument out of the water using only the very highest developed nations on earth.


Oh, btw, please note that every country on my list has gun legislation much tougher than the USA.



I call BS on your post.

This is perfectly possible.
The bullet doesn't go anywhere significant, the case fragments and goes like the devil.

depends on the rupture.

clearly, when the bullet doesnt go 6 inches, we do not expect the case fragments to be dangerous to 5 miles.

if newtons 3rd law didnt apply to the bullet, it is highly unlikely there was much energy in the fragment as well.

That's because you did not read the articles and never entertained any idea than more guns prevent more gun violence. Just how many mass shootings have there been since Sandy Hook for instance? Logic plays no part in your thinking on this subject whatever.
