Children Are Dying Because Of Americans' Denial About Guns [View all] sharedvalues Feb 2018 OP

Not all, but many, shootings had simple solutions. ManiacJoe Feb 2018 #1

No. Banning semi autos would have stopped Sandy Hook sharedvalues Feb 2018 #2

My M71/84 Mauser rifle was designed to kill humans, should that be banned also? Marengo Feb 2018 #3

Is it a single-shot rifle? If not, ban it. sharedvalues Feb 2018 #7

The Mauser would be legal sarisataka Feb 2018 #12

Lobbying for fewer dead Americans- killed with guns sharedvalues Feb 2018 #18

A very Noble goal sarisataka Feb 2018 #19

Interesting to think of this as a game. Permanut Feb 2018 #28

Game in the sense of sarisataka Feb 2018 #33

Well...I have my thoughts. Puha Ekapi_2 Feb 2018 #37

What about my M1884 rifle? That is a single shot military long arm designed to kill humans as well. Marengo Feb 2018 #29

Would you be so kind as to answer my questions in post #29? Marengo Feb 2018 #34

Do not expect an answer. The have only generalities and insults. n/t oneshooter Feb 2018 #35

"large numbers of unregulated guns" AzureCrest Feb 2018 #4

Regulate like Canada. Where there are fewer gun deaths. sharedvalues Feb 2018 #8

Still not "unregulated ". AzureCrest Feb 2018 #11

Children are killed because of weakly regulated guns sharedvalues Feb 2018 #16

"Thin-slicing language" AzureCrest Feb 2018 #24

To follow the logic of this argument, we would ban sober drivers. Hangingon Feb 2018 #39

Exactly. AzureCrest Feb 2018 #40

Poor timing with your pro-gun comments, sir. sharedvalues Feb 2018 #41

Suggesting that guns are the sole problem... discntnt_irny_srcsm Feb 2018 #26

Australia and Canada put the lie to NRA stats. Fewer guns, fewer deaths. See the chart. sharedvalues Feb 2018 #42

What NRA stats? I see no NRA stats in your pic. discntnt_irny_srcsm Feb 2018 #43

Reality: Australia, Canada: strict gun laws. Few DEATHS. sharedvalues Feb 2018 #44

re:"Let's be clear: if you support more guns in the US, you're complicit in American kids' deaths." discntnt_irny_srcsm Feb 2018 #45

Canada bans sarisataka Feb 2018 #13

Canada: hard to carry. Strictly regulated sharedvalues Feb 2018 #15

There is no doubt that gun sales have skyrocketed in recent decades. spin Feb 2018 #21

Those stats are flawed. You expect linear correlation? sharedvalues Feb 2018 #47

If more firearms equals more crime than why has the crime rate decreased? spin Feb 2018 #61

Before you use stats, go take a stats class sharedvalues Feb 2018 #62

Ill just stick with FBI and Bureau of Justice Statistics. ... spin Feb 2018 #63

Sorry: NRA banned gov't stats. sharedvalues Feb 2018 #66

Bullshit: The FBI's crime statistics are available online to all: https://ucr.fbi.gov/ friendly_iconoclast Feb 2018 #67

Doubling down on wrong. Straw Man Feb 2018 #74

This has been the world's longest running 'Gish gallop': friendly_iconoclast Feb 2018 #75

I agree. We need to ban handguns, and gun-fetishists have been Gish galloping. sharedvalues Feb 2018 #77

I don't doubt that you believe every word you write when you write it n/t friendly_iconoclast Feb 2018 #82

I don't believe you understand the actual meaning of what I said friendly_iconoclast Feb 2018 #86

I want to stop kid gun killings. And Im an optimist. sharedvalues Feb 2018 #87

We all do. The debate of the moment is how best to do that friendly_iconoclast Feb 2018 #88
