which situation will likely lead to more deaths?
100 guns in a city of 1 million people, or 100,000 guns in a city of 1 million people?
dont even answer with a post. just digest this and answer it honestly to yourself. it's undeniable that the proliferation of guns (among other causes such as rampant poverty and broken homes) has led to the situation we are in right now.
like I said, I'm a gun owner and have never advocated for confiscation, but i'm also not going to be willfully blind and act like there's not a problem.
We could have the strictest gun control in the world, and we still wouldn't be Australia or Europe. We would be Mexico.

Interestingly you're admitting here that gun control does work, it's just that the cat is too far out of the bag in the USA so any attempts will turn it into a lawless war zone.
And while Mexico has its problems, other Latin American countries are pretty good on gun violence due to effective laws, even if they struggle in other areas.

This is a fair point laws are pretty useless if they aren't consistently enforced. I'm certainly in favor of using whatever laws we have in order to get violent criminals off the street.
Then why do you keep favoring Democrat policies? Because getting violent criminals off the streets are exactly the opposite of what leftist DAs are doing.
In my view, Democrat DAs are doing an excellent job of showing compassion and giving people second chances (especially in non-violent cases, cases with a juvenile defendant, etc), while at the same time going after the violent criminals.
Sure sounds like a gun owner.barbacoa taco said:

If you are a Christian, or even if you just have any morals, you should be all for getting guns off the street.

Yes, but it took about 30 years for that decay to reach the point of lawlessness.BuddysBud said:RGLAG85 said:It's also the only developed country too have a constitutional right to free speech and right to assemble and..... Why do you think the founding Fathers put the 2nd immediately behind the 1st? The decay of society is what l leads to more gun violence, a problem relatively new to our society. Why do you think that is and who has caused the greatest attack on that? We didn't have this problem until, about the 90's. Hmmm!barbacoa taco said:i'm not. stop being obtuse. more guns lead to more gun deaths. that is a fact. you can cope and seethe about it all you want, but it's why the USA is the only developed country to have a catastrophically bad gun violence problem, and only one side of the political aisle refuses to admit that.American Hardwood said:I can't believe that there are people out there that blame inanimate objects for the actions of living beings.Quote:
there's only one party who is pushing for as many criminals on the streets as possible and the elimination of all just laws, and it's not the Republicans.
The problem started in the 1960's when LBJ and the Democrats created massive areas of government funded poverty and hopelessness to ensure that certain groups need to vote for a particular political party.

How do you get guns off the street?
So far 3 people have been detained for it. I highly suspect this was a terrorism thing but will eat crow if I'm wrong.Pylon Cam said:

Far more likely to be either gang related, or one person dissed another, which in urban black culture is basically a death penalty offense. Either way, the result was one or more idiots pulling their Glocks and blasting away.waitwhat? said:So far 3 people have been detained for it.

Don't go blaming republicans for perpetuating a victim mentality.
Gun control works, but only if it's applied everywhere. Guns are trafficked into states with stricter gun control from states with weaker gun control that's why we have this issue.
