I see. If data does not support the thesis you're ranting about, then it's irrelevant. You know what's really irrelevant in the topic of gun control? You.
http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2015/11/open-carry-mass-shooting-colorado-springs have to wait for someone to die first from a shooter under the open carry law? a legit question i think both sides agree on
Has to be disconcerting for even the most fervent NRA member to see someone walk in (legally) with AK47? I don't care if you think your Rambo, That doesn't send a chill up your spine?
If there had been someone there carrying, they could have taken down the jerk. But because no one was armed but the bad guy, tragedy occurred. That bad guy wouldn't have followed gun laws no matter what they were. He was intent on murdering innocents.
Tragic article below. No outrage by the media, no outrage by Futurecurrents. Perhaps that's because it's illegal gang violence, so it's not important. Go after the circus events the media puts out, not the real problem that is responsible for the vast amounts of murders. But hey, they're just gangsta's offing each other, right Fraudboy? Of course, this one is also a school child, but not white. So maybe Fraudboy isn't concerned. 9-Year-Old Chicago Boy Shot in the Head Near Grandmother’s Home A 9-year-old boy, who was shot and killed in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood, may have been targeted, Chicago Police say. The boy, Tyshawn Lee, was playing basketball at a park next to his grandmother’s home late on Monday afternoon when a group of unidentified people began having an argument nearby. The child had joined the group at some point, but it is unknown if he knew any of them. As the argument grew, someone pulled a gun and fired several shots, at least two of which struck the child. Police say that the shooting occurred around 4:15 PM. The boy was struck in the head and neck and died almost instantly. Police also say they can’t rule out that the child was the intended target. “It’s unclear if this was a targeted incident or a tragic case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time,” Chief of Detectives Dean Andrews said. The boy was on his way to his grandmother’s house where he was to be picked up by his mother after school. His grandmother Bertha Lee told the media that she saw the boy’s body. “I saw the body in the alley. He was lying in blood,” Lee said. “But I didn’t see his face.” The boy’s mother said that her son had dreams of playing for the NBA and that he had been taking his basketball to school for some time. “He’s a good kid. He didn’t deserve that, he didn’t deserve that,” Karla Lee said. “Emotions? They’re gone. I don’t have my baby no more.” Already, though, one group looking to pry more tax dollars out of the state legislature is using little Tyshawn’s death to push its budget and spending agenda. Emily Miller, Director of Policy and Advocacy for the group Voice For Illinois Children, told Chicago’s WLS radio that Republican Governor Bruce Rauner and the Democrat-led Illinois legislature are at fault for the boy’s death because the two parties haven’t come together to pass a state budget that pays for after school programs. Miller, though, admitted that she had no idea if Tyshawn Lee was ever enrolled in any such programs or if there were even any offered at Joplin Elementary School where he attended.
The point is how can you know who is legally carrying that AK47 around and who's not legal? How can you know their intention til someone dies?
Because the vast majority of people "carrying around" an AK47 are doing so illegally. As for how can you know their intention, you obviously cannot. But in looking at past data, those with illegal weapons do 9/10ths of the violence related to guns (if not more). So banning those who are responsible for the 1/10 does nothing but forcing the rest of us who have guns to defend ourselves to give them up and leave the 9/10ths with weapons. It's stupid and ineffective.
Ah, yes. When you can't debate the argument, those responses are typical. I don't own a F250 or a truck. My IQ is probably double that of your own, so your attempt to paint me as some redneck is amusing.
