Oh for Gawd's sake, I AM A FARMER. The biggest pests are those who feel, my crops of peas, beans and corn are there for the taking. Birds, or even raccoons are the least of my problems. Birds don't cart of sacks of veggies.
My wife is a farmer .... a REALISTIC one even.
Bears can and do make off with sacks of animal food, produce, etc. around here. There have been instances of bears going through kitchen doors to get into kitchens here. In the case of those who do not have guns here, they phone the CO and the CO sends an officer out to track and trap or shoot the bears. One bear in one night completely rubbed out one of our neighbor's method of income. It killed every single chicken and mowed down an entire field of corn. A cougar killed almost every pig of another neighbor.

Besides, there are noise making machines that do a better job than a single person with a gun!! The macho solution is passe, the intelligent one is in.
Yeah, right. Guess you've never seen a flock of crows or ravens devastate the crop of a cherry orchard. They get used to the compressed air bangers and ignore them. Bear bangers don't work on some of the bears around here either.

And what's more is that gun control does little to discourage crime. Not much of anything discourages crime. So in effect, gun control IS useless.

You pick and choose your stats, like most others looking to prove their point. However, there are too many of us who know how stats can be skewed to suit!! On the whole we are intelligent, reasonable people who are capable of looking at all angles of a problem and can see beyond the stats issued by those invested in a particular outcome.

Once again, as it appears you didn't read it the first time:

I went looking to isolate two populations, as close as possible in population make-up, culture, etc, with the ONLY difference being gun control laws. I settled on the west, the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta in Canada, and the three American states that border them, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota. These seemed to be the best examples, as they are the two areas of Canada and the United States that are the most alike in population culture, etc., yet most different in gun legislation.

Who wouldn't, all but colpy I guess.
Based on your cognitive skills, that would be an uneducated guess, lol.


I own two guns and support gun control.
I support gun control that keeps guns out of the hands of nutters like you.

What can I say, some nutter that is so mentally deficient that he's obsessed with a web forum, as you are, and challenges entities on the net, to fights, screams "We need better gun control laws".

The usual one liner specialists are out in force I see. A lot of gas signifying nothing. Guns are produced as with the main objective of killing. AND no matter what other uses some really creative individuals come up with does not change that fact.

If production was not so lucrative, make no mistake, mass production would have ceased long ago. The local gunsmith would once again return. Perhaps, those having a love affair with a piece of metal occasionally mixed with wood, might consider this.

Outrageous

Unbelieveable....in over 13 minutes, Lott is not allowed to make a single point.

Dershowitz should be sued for libel, Lott has already won cases against people denigrating his research and motives.

I would probably have told the interviewer STFU!!

This is what CNN call fairness in broadcasting????

No WONDER FOX is the leading newscasters....

The original use of knives was for killing......a reason you can't bring one on a plane....
Are you willing to give up your butter knife???

Actually it is not the leading newscasters anymore. The poll left out PBS news.
PBS is now in the lead with Fox in the same class as NBC CBS , ABC etc

Dershowtz has taken a page from Fox and like their broadcasters, does not allow any untruths to last but drowns them out. That clown Lott was relying on his own bent stats. Stats can be slanted in all sorts of ways, and he was asked the way they were collected. He finally admitted, they were is own collection. He then points to England's stats but does not allow for population growth in the time period. The difference between 39 and 8000 plus are still way out of line.

By the way, what if there had been a few gun lovers in the movie theater at the time, how many more would have been wounded or killed?? It seems the return of the wild, wild west is what people of this ilk are aiming for.

Take a good look at the definition of cyber stalker and the one for trolls. You and several others here fit the bill. I guess it is easier to beat on people on the internet. If this type of behaviour was used face to face, you wouldn't have one left. No wonder children stalk and inflame on the net. Look at the examples some adults give them. You and others of your ilk ruin every single thread you post in. It is creepy having the same people slinking in and spewing garbage over everyone who dlsagrees with you. Pollution of another type in my opinion.

First of all, Lott's stats are not bent. He was careful in his research, his papers have been peer reviewed, and his methodology has never been successfully challenged.

Therefore, the idiot Dershowitz (who is a supporter of torture, BTW) was being libelous in his claim that Lott's results were bought by the NRA. If you watch the piece, you will see him realize he had stepped over the line, and try to backpedal, arguing he hadn't said what he clearly did say, while saying it yet again.

The point, however, is not about either the ignorant moron Piers or the lying, torture supporter and libelous jackass lawyer, but about DEBATE. They invited Lott to appear, and then tag-teamed him. They NEVER allowed him to make and defend a single point. Not once in thirteen minutes.

That is not debate, it is ambush.

Lott should have said to Piers: "Will you STFU and let me answer?" and if Piers did not, he should have simply stood up, said "I guess I don't need to be here, you two can scream nonsense at my empty chair............." and left

A clear case of "I"VE MADE UP MY MIND< DON"T CONFUSE ME WITH THE FACTS"

Something like some people here who shall remain nameless.

Can't be. Only right wing media outlets do that sort of thing.

I did. You're a troll, and you don't understand what cyberstalking is, or how a forum works, nor do you understand that you can't dictate who reads or replies to your posts.

You and several others here fit the bill.
Like you and Koko.

It is creepy having the same people slinking in and spewing garbage over everyone who dlsagrees with you.
I agree, you and Koko are creepy.

LOL I am dark haired, I have a smile on my face and my teeth are in better shape than hers. My whole life has been dramatic enough. No need to be a queen, although more than one would worship me given half a chance LOL
