Not always young Spock. When you are looking at it from the perspective of society - It is always a cost benefit analysis. I had a well known leftist torts professor. And a bunch a lefties in my class but many of them loved baseball and softball. They always agree with her until she said they should put nets up around the entire baseball stadium. They finally got to arguing about cost benefit analysis. At the time George Will said you could prevent most major car injuries by banning left turns and forcing 3 rights. Is that what we want to do. We could also make all our cars heavier but they might make global warming worse... do we want to do that?
You're an uninformed ignorant useful idiot. Guns in the hands of law abiding citizens save more lives than are lost to nut case school shooters and the like. Do you want to save a few lives or one life? Or do you want to save many lives?
kinda funny. I live in FL. There are 20M people living here from EVERY walk of life. More people died in swimming pools here last year than at the end of a gun barrel. Since CCW's were made much easier here for law abiding people to obtain, violent crime (home invasions, hold ups, etc.,), has plummeted. Even violent trash is smart enough to avoid people with guns vs the disarmed... Futurepennies won't acknowledge that as he's a communist, and a lunatic who wants to see America transformed into Europe so he can run his cock sucker even more among other lunatics. Sadly, he'll also be the first wave to be shot dead in the streets when (not if), the shit hits the fan here. He's not part of a legacy where only the strong survive. He's a weak piece of shit. He'd run out of ammo, and say no fair if people still want to shoot him while he tries to STEAL ammo to reload.
Very recent gun violence in America, on the eve of the State of the Union Address⦠One University of Maryland student was shot and killed and another shot and wounded before the third, their roommate, shot and killed himself last night in College Park, Maryland (link). Yesterday, a man in the New Castle County Courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, opened fire and shot and killed his daughter-in-law and a neighbor and injuring two court officers before dying from either police bullets or by his own hand (link). A man in Oakdale, Minnesota, opened fire randomly at passing vehicles yesterday, shooting and killing a 9-year-old boy, and shooting and wounding his mother and another woman (link). Five people were shot and one was killed in shootings in Vallejo, California, last night (link). A mother and her 2-year-old child were shot and wounded by gunfire at 6 a.m. this morning as they were getting into their car (link). A man was shot and killed in Youngstown, OH, last night (link). A man in Miami Township, Clermont County, Ohio was found shot and killed in his home this morning (link). On Saturday, a man in Paducah, KY, shot and killed a 3-year-old boy accidentally, one of several accidental shootings over the past few weeks (link). Also on Saturday, an 8-year-boy in Eastvale, California, found a gun and accidentally shot a man in the head (link). Accidental shootings could make up a whole thread on their own.
FAIL! Insufficient numbers to warrant scraping the 2nd amendment or penalizing millions of gun owners.
FC is on this 'save one life' kick. I can only assume he has stopped driving his car and using electricity to help prevent traffic deaths and coal mine accidents.
You're quick to quote criminal and accidental gun incidents, but have you ever challenged your conventional thinking by looking up the other side of the coin? You'll have to dig, because the propaganda machine (MSM) has no interest in telling you those tales. I suspect you have no interest in hearing them, either.
If you are concerned, maybe you should invest in a bomb sniffing dog! Your apartment could have C-4 planted anywhere. Be sure to look under your bed before going to sleep every night.
