We know who the real snowflakes are

lol! I must be a globalist in tune with species extinction issues, would prefer to let the bear live if given the choice ;) only a few thousand bears left versus a few billion humans

Sad when you have to buy a vest to feel safe. Had a friend, He shot an unarmed man attacking a women who he told him to stop. He charged my friend 2 shots as trained the person who was choking a woman who charged my friend when he told him to stop is dead. YEAH! I testified for him in court too! Not Guilty! Glad he had a gun! But think the mods will not allow this in their echo chamber. I have been wrong lately. So maybe some have grown a spine and are not cowards anymore? Then I applaud you all! We will see! Some may even say BS! This is 100 percent true.

How about we just make too hard for most folks to have one? Meanwhile in the rest of the country that you dont care about

Many situations such as home invasion, A person attacking another person, Recently had a situation around where I live where a person was attacking his wife at a dental office where she worked. A man pulled out a gun and told him to stop. He did not and was shot.

yawn... its also irrelevant to gun control, no one is saying law abiding citizens willing to take a safety test, go through strict background check and willing to wait 10 days for delivery should not have a gun

Ok I agree on that. Some states are doing away with a gun permit. I disagree on that. I want a person to have basic knowledge of laws AND be able to hit a target.

My niece's girlfriend was just brutally murdered. I wish she had a gun.

What was the murder weapon?

Many victims of murder wish their assailants didn’t have guns.

Im not going to go into detail because 1, it's brutal, and 2, you probably wouldn't believe me.

I understand. I also hope you understand why im deleting the comment.

My condolences. It happens, but it’s not nearly as common as firearm-related murder.

We need to base policy on statistics, not anecdotes.

Thank you

Ok, statistics, 2019 Vermont vs Chicago.
Vermont has the least strict gun laws (besides Alaska) and Chicago has the strictest.
Vermont had 54 homicides by firearm
Chicago had 503 homicides and over 2000 shootings.

First, hey, it's been a while, I've missed our discussions, you've always been respectful.

Ok, Houston vs Chicago. Similar population, not sure of the different demographics but Houston had pretty lax gun laws. 2019 Houston had 210 homicides. I cannot find anything that breaks that down by weapon, but say it's all firearm related. Still much less than Chicago's 503

Lmao understandable

Something we agree upon. UV 4u
No gun laws do not work. Why? Criminals don't follow laws.

The issue most conservatives fail to bring up about Chicago gun violence despite the strict laws is the easy access to guns just over the border in Indiana. A state with very lax gun laws. It’s the same in New York City. Almost all guns recovered in crime scenes came from states with lax gun controls and then sold at a high mark up on the black market in cities that have stricter laws.

It’s not that strict gun laws don’t work, it’s that there isn’t a consistent gun law on the books that is enforced.

I too am not anti-gun, but it’s the morons the worship guns that will end up getting them banned. It’s a shame because while I don’t hunt, my kid does (mostly on my land, but he just bought a nice chunk of his own) and we are teaching his daughters how to shoot safely right now because guns really aren’t the problem, the culture is.

I completely agree with your statement. The issue I have is that most people who call for strict gun laws have absolutely no knowledge of guns. They call the AR-15 an "assault rifle" when it's just a glorified .22LR. And only because it 'looks scary'. I agree that a blanket of gun laws should include background checks, and waiting period (cool down). But limiting the types of firearms should be regulated by those who know about them.
