yes, and a big part of the problem you mention is the gun problem in the country, can't leave that out.
we are discussing 'violence' with firearms. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to have a intelligent opinion about firearms in a conversation like that.
I think most of us realize that there are certain people who can legally pack a gun for good reason,
this conversation doesn't refer to those people.
There are far too many loopholes in the system, and far too many who make big profits from manufacturing
and selling firearms that are 'for shooting people', and contributing to that violence.
Are you an expert in firearms?
We have hunting rifles and a shot gun locked up in a gun rack, those guns are used when the season
calls for their use, out in the bush, with a licence, hunting game.
Nothing wrong with that, it is a responsible use of firearms, that is not the subject here.
It is 'violence' with guns.
It is?
If you phoned me right now and said 'lets go shooting" I'd be packed up and have coffee made and ready to go blow away some coyotes within ten minutres. Why wait for game season, licenses and trudging through bush?
Open season on them and their cute little puppies and .223 is by far the best weapon option.
We can't have coyotes eating kids as they play at school can we?
I wasn't either, just about people who keep talking about "banning guns", I know there are nuts who should never touch a gun but it's next to impossible to put an end to it!-
And it took a lot of posts before it got derailed into an anti-gun rant by the usual suspects....I wasn't either, just about people who keep talking about "banning guns", I know there are nuts who should never touch a gun but it's next to impossible to put an end to it!-
oops sorry.......It all started at post #2
Really??
What part of "....the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" do you not understand???
Wrong. In two different ways.
First of all, the preamble about militia in no way modifies the declarative phrase of the Amendment ".....the right of the PEOPLE shall not be infringed". And the SCOTUS agrees.
Secondly, the US Code, which codifies the workings of the US gov't:
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard. (b) The classes of the militia are - (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
A Bill of Rights exists to impose restrictions on the State....not enhance their power.
The greatest restriction possible on a state is an armed population.
Fully automatic assault rifles are banned in Canada.
Give me 24hours and I can have a trunk load of them.
Banning only stops law abiding citizens from owning them.
Not effective or safe.
You keep repeating this. You must be trying to convince yourself as well as everyone else. You sound desperate.
Because it's true and some people need to get it into their heads.
Anyone capable of logical thinking doesn't need convincing.
He's not the one talking about gun owning members, members.
So give us a time frame, Risus, what year will the U.S. and Canada be completely void of guns? I'll give you the year.................same one as Armageddon!
Seems like the dill pickle analogy applies once again to the one you replied to:lol:
Drugs are banned and....
Isn't the War or Drugs lost and a big failure?
Like weed? Cocaine? Meth? They're banned. How is that working out?

You can't compare drugs and guns............sensible people use guns and besides drugs will only go away when all the head honchos get behind it..............crack is used by every profession. If you are going to get rid of the "rot" you have to start at the top.
