It does matter.

Have you ever fired a firearm?
Why does it matter??? And what has whether or not I have fired a gun or not has to do with gun control. And yes I have, but I am not all that good at it. SO>>>>> can we get back to the topic. Oh....I bet a gun fight of that size with only nine dead and 18 injured, I guess, they were not very good either.

Anyway, lunch time and I have better ways to spend my time even when the weather is not good. bye bye.

Your opinions have no validity without reality.

You just nailed it. That many dead and injured with how many shots fired? How many died or were injured without firearms?

I am not sure how many of the 18 injured or the nine dead were injured
18. Unless you consider death an injury, in which case it was 27.

and why does it make a difference.
Well, accuracy in reporting, y'know.

It was a GUN fight with bullets going everywhere in such a melee.
Actually it was a gun/knife/chain/bludgeon fight. The knives and chains and bludgeons just didn't make much of a difference.

Also, do you know how many of those guns were illegal?? With Texas loose gun laws, they were probably all legal. So, does that make it alright??
Probably about half of the ones the bikers had, none of the ones the cops had.

Even with Texas' loose gun laws, felons aren't allowed to own guns.

Here is something for our resident medical secretary to ponder instead of railing and ranting about guns....

Deaths by medical mistakes hit records | Healthcare IT News

and in Canada

https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/do-no-harm
Well, those who cannot tell the difference between ranting and raving and pointed discrepancies between what some believe and actual facts, is their fault not mine.

I have no intention of entering a discussion of the health system of either Canada or the US. That has nothing whatever to do with the subject of gun control.

Northern Ontario,
Anti gun people are such hypocrites, they can compare registering guns to registering cars....and it's OK as long as they make the comparison but should you make a comparison that shows their side in a bad light, they don't want to hear about it....
I've always said about such people.....You can't teach a dill pickle nuthin'........... or an anti-gunner.....

LOL....We do know exactly what a gun was designed to do and it does it very well indeed. However, humans are made with flaws and the human body is not a machine. What will cure one person could very well kill another. One does not pull a trigger to effect a cure in either animals or humans and contrary to the beliefs of some, being in the health system does not guarantee perfection. No human is perfect but they have managed to build some pretty well perfect machines.

A gun is a machine, just as a car is. Comparing health care deaths to gun deaths is more than a bit off the wall. I am NOT the one who introduced car deaths, swimming pools deaths nor health care mistakes resulting in deaths.........No matter how many times I point out that GUNS were invented for one purpose....To KILL more efficiently. Now, please do NOT point out that the electric chair or the guillotine has killed more people over the years than guns.

This whole thread exists because some, want the right to own and keep handy.....without very little restraints ....ie gun control as we now have in Canada a machine, the sole purpose of which is to kill.

So, exactly who are the hypocrites here???

Sooo.........Do you have so little faith in Canadian politicians, and our system of government??

Armed Woman in PA Detains Two Thieves at Gunpoint For Police, Police Praise Her



Fearless, armed women are certainly making a statement so far in 2015. Case in point, when an armed Pennsylvania woman found two men breaking into a car in her driveway she quickly took action.

According to local media reports:

Ephrata police already had been alerted by a 911 caller that two men were entering cars along Misty and Creek lanes at 2:30 a.m. Monday, according to criminal complaints. But the woman took action when she saw the man trying to break into a car in her driveway at Meadow View and Overlook drives.

“She was an alert, lawfully armed citizen,’’ Ephrata police Lt. Chris McKim said. He declined to identify the woman.

Police arrested Robert Joseph LaFleur, 22, of Denver after the woman turned him over.
It wasn’t easy: LaFleur resisted, and an officer had to use a Taser on him before taking him into custody, according to Ephrata police Sgt. Matthew Randolph.​

A second suspect was arrested nearby. The pair is suspected in numerous thefts in the area.

This incident is the most common type of defensive gun use. That is, one in which no shots were fired and no one was hurt. Despite this being the most common type of defensive gun use, these incidents are often not included in statistics about defensive gun uses. Many of these statistics and studies focus solely on justifiable homicides, which represent only a fraction of total defensive gun uses.

This is the 42nd defensive gun use we’ve documented in the state of Washington and the 1,385th defensive gun use we’ve documented overall.

I get your point......every argument you make is valid an every argument against you is invalid....that way you can have a nice discussion by yourself....

Yes guns are a machine designed for putting food on the table . A secondary but useful benefit, is that it makes getting rid of useless humans easier , all the better .

The fact that there are twenty plus million guns in Canada and gun related murders average in the hundreds in a year is kind of lost on you .

You want to restrict and limit a woman's ability to protect herself from brute sized felons that can smash her head in and rape her. Isn't that a little cruel of you?

Yes, exactly...But hunting for food is not necessary in Canada, these days. It is attitudes like yours that scares the bejeezus out of me. Who gets to decide who is useless and who is not?? I prefer the law to choose, not someone who just happens to be fondling his/her gun when a perceived "useless person comes on the scene"

James, Don't keep making stupid comments.

Surely, after all this time there are some around who actually read and understand my points.

However, I will once more state my position. I do not care if you own a gun, go hunting, do target shooting, or want to protect the young sweet virgin on the next block from getting beaten or raped. All most moderates want, is not to change CANADA's type of gun control. There is a reason why gun deaths are so much higher per capita in the US to Canada.

Frankly BOOmer, I don't give a rat's *** if you want to live in a country with more access to guns and bullets than you have here. Why not just move to one of those 10 best countries for Gun Owners. Personally I prefer a country whose aim is a little broader.....like laws that make it safer for the majority of it's citizens.
