I hope that wasn't posted already. I couldn't wade through the whole thread, and I'm not articulate enough to come up with my own rebuttals...unless I'm screamin' mad, and then no one listens anyway...

Nobody here listens anyway, but we sure love to argue.  I say speak up; you won't get better at articulating if you don't exercise the skill.

Thanks, Hawker... been bird doggin' for awhile, joined just before my trip to the Clink for the beatdown on SF... I'll try to speak up more, but don't expect much...I'm really old (not so much, just seems maybe older than most here)

The issue is white kids getting shot. Black kids get shot in inner-cities and there's really nothing on the national news. So, lets just make sure no more white kids get shot and we all get to keep our guns. I need my gun, because although I think goverment should be reduced because its dysfuntional, I'm REALLY scared they'll come and get me. Goverment sucks, and cant be left to manage ANYTHING, not ONE THING, but they're scary.

How about the numerous public shootings and home invasions that are aborted by a weapon in service of the defenseless, or their deterrence by a criminal's mere knowledge that certain homes are armed? Background checks I'm perfectly fine with.

But it also says you can't think less guns for mentally unstable is ok, that's restricting freedom. No one is taking away your right to have a gun in your home. They are trying to make everyone take gun ownership more seriously, because lately its been treated like a priviledge, not a right.

The fact that there are enough people in this country who support the 2nd amendment means it's very unlikely to happen doesn't mean people don't want it to happen.

Do a google search on neo-nazis, see how many want the 4th reich to occur in the United States, too. There's "plenty" of those too. Should I fear that? Of course you cant see this, because you put me on ignore, because I wiped the floor with you're face.

I think it should be just like a driver's license; you can be denied because of disability as deemed appropriate, you have to take a test on safe use and storage of firearms, that you know the applicable state and federal laws; essentially prove you know the difference between responsible ownership and irresponsible. For fuck's sake how hard is it to pass a driver's test? Why should we take weapons less seriously than transportation?

Do you think guns (specifically AR) take 11,000 lives a year?

What is known is that they stop more than a million crimes every year, frequently without firing a shot. I'll take it.

500 kids die every year from accidental gun shootings. That's one number. Again, the goal from policy makers is not to eliminate violence nor gun violence. 11,000 people is a lot. We should be able to trim that number in half. This is 2013 people! SmokinHawk wrote: They might, actually.

I'm going to throw a party, knowing that there are 500 fewer potential Darwin Award winners out there. If we're trying to address violent crime, perhaps we should address what actually causes violent crime, and it's not firearms.
