Right, look at your posts, Younigue's posts, and my posts. You're both full of insults and passive aggressive comments that have no substance. I'm at least talking real numbers and explaining my pov. Anyway, carry on. Your piddly childish comments are the equivalent of thoughts and prayers.
I encourage anyone and everyone to compare your posts to mine and then let me know who is offering a discussion on the topic of this thread and who wants to talk about anything but.

Just to get you to understand, how many out of the 330,000,000 in the country are adults?
Then realize that out of that number you get 37% own guns, it’s not 100,000,000. It’s 37% of households, not population. How many in a household? It varies. Then 3% own 50% of the guns, that shrinks the number even more. Understand?


I don't think this is a point of contention with anyone. Gun ownership in America is somewhere around ~100,000,000 people.

Sorry but couldn't the same be said of anyone who supports alcohol being legal?

Not really. We tried banning alcohol and the cure was worse than the disease. Other countries have been highly effective in banning guns, which indicates the same does not hold true for guns. As always, just really a utility function here that guns fail on.

Was the cure really worse than the disease? Today alcohol kills 88,000 people a year. I wonder if prohibition would lower that today?

And for the record, I am in no way arguing for further restrictions of alcohol (or guns).

yet in this thread its been stated, as well as a call to cull gun owners
Well they can be "culled" in ways they don't involve violence but 2A nuts are incapable of rising with out their guns because they are a disease.

Considering after an initial decline alcohol consumption actually rose under prohibition it seems likely the answer is yes.

You bring nothing of value to the table. Your mind and soul are tainted and you believe conversations can be had from your starting point. Nah brah, get you some decency then try again.

I just watched a really funny European video making fun of American's gun obsession. They call the NRA~Nonsensical Rifle Addiction. The video is named: NRA Sunday with Lubach on YouTube. Very funny! Too bad the world is making fun of you gun nuts hey?

Number of registered weapons in the U.S.

I was thinking that living in a house filled with junk food might be more dangerous. Guns don't tempt me but snacks and ice cream are another story.
Depression affects people differently, but it affects everyone at some point.

So what do you want then?

I've already said this many times, I would go for a near total ban of all firearms, regardless of type with potential exceptions for say, shotguns stored in the home for home defense. I think we talked about that earlier in this thread when the primary concern was the bear patrol wasn't up to snuff at protecting our children's delicious faces.

most gun owners are open to discussion, and even some more restrictions

the problem is no matter what we suggest, all we get it

"its not enough! ban them all!"

once ant's are open to a logical discussion, we can continue
What I find particularly funny in this forum is that NRA members and pro-gun people are willing to talk about and make compromises to aid the safety of Americans, but the lefties and the anti-gun clueless in here refuse to make common sense decisions that will save lives. Instead they just spew hatred and lies and insanity. They act like rabid animals.

30 minutes for police to arrive?

2:21 p.m.


Cruz went into Building 12’s east stairwell with a rifle in a case, before he emerged from the stairwell with the rifle no longer in it, according to the timeline.

It accused him of firing into classrooms, and said he proceeded to use the west stairwell to the second floor and shot someone in another room.

2:53 p.m.
Deputies responded to reports of a shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a tweet.

Sounds like you are describing yourself.

I know this is pointless but can you not see how someone could read the 2A and think they have a right to guns without infringement? I understand you don't agree, but can you not see the other side based on the wording?
Oh I can see it I just think that those who interpret it that way have small, weak, pathetic minds. They are ruled by fear, paranoia and insecurity. Those are definitely not the kind of people who should be heard in a gun debate.
