<0.01% excluding the military. Even cops do not carry guns unless responding to a special situation. ----------- The simple fact is a knife is much less efficient than guns to kill people given the same condition & situation, that is undebatable. The tragedy in china is one of many examples, if that nutjob had a gun, the outcome would be much worse like in connecticut. The 2nd amendment was originally intended to arm citizens to revolt against the government if it ever becomes corrupt & keep the authority in check, with british ruling still fresh on everyone's mind. Back then the military only had similar weapons, so it's a legitimate & noble idea. Today it is a perversion of the original goal, to uphold the original intent then every citizen should be allowed to legally own guided missiles, tanks, and stealth fighters at an affordable price as the government's military has advanced so far beyond just men with rifles. But the whole point is we do not need to do that anymore as the government has matured to the point that "revolt" can be handled legislatively not through force. The only reason left to own a gun is to defend against home invaders, but i would think in the "best" country in the world, the citizens can rely on their police & government to protect them. And if guns were banned, then over time, those invaders wont have it either. I lived in some pretty ghetto areas around nyc while young and never felt the need to own a gun. If i have to choose between the fractional probability owning a gun might make a difference in saving my life vs a ban that will result in those wholesale changes across the country. It's a no brainer to choose the latter. It's all bullshit and mind boggling, but nothing will change because we have this phenomenal called lobbyist, and they always win.
I've got a couple, don't you? Ha ha. Just kidding. No need to send Obama over here to search my house. :eek:
I think I'd be pleased if you did fire one from your shallow hovel. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ouScnB-F-6k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
There will be 500+ homicides in Chicago this year. Most were killed with guns and most of those guns were handguns. It's illegal to carry a gun in Chicago, yet 500+ people are dead as a result of gun violence. Get the picture? Gun control doesn't work. I wish it were so easy. What we're seeing are the results of 40+ years of a society gone off the rails. 40+ years of radical leftism making a travasty of our judicial system. 40+ years of being told fathers don't matter. 40+ years of no right, no wrong, no accountatibility. 40+ years of the wholesale destruction of family values. 40+ years of violence being glorified and being shown more graphicly in so many movies it's has numbed our children to the sight of blood and guts. A music industry that pounds the sound of death and destruction into their young heads day and night. A gaming industry that has made killing fun. A social media that has all but removed any real life social skills. Decades of no leadership willing to make the tough decisions for fear of being on the wrong side of political correctness. So I must ask, just what the fuck did you dumb motherfuckers that advocate and support all this think was going to happen? Get used to the high body count, cause we ain't seen nothing yet.
As much as I appreciate the time you take to correct me and let me know how stupid I am, could I ask a favor of you? Please add a line or two again about how great your life is and how much smarter your are than me and how woeful my own life has been shoveling asphalt for years with no end in sight. Thank you in advance.
You are stupid. My life is great. I'm much smarter than you. You've shoveled asphalt for too long. You probably would have benefited from military service or some kind of education. You often get your facts wrong and almost never accept responsibility for your errors meaning you lack the strength of character to admit when you are wrong and instead martyr yourself as you did in the quoted post. You're welcome.
Yeah but it doesn't count if darkies kill each other: that apparently is okay with the lame stream media, leftist's and race hustlers.
