criminals that don't give two shits about your libtarded laws

THey don't have to give to shits. If guns get harder for criminals to obtain, then guns get harder for criminals to obtain.

Even if it was just a matter of the price going up tenfold over a period of a few decades (inflation adjusted dollars) - that is, for guns bought on the black market.

How can anyone in their right mind not realize that will cause less teens shooting each other in inner cities.

40% of illegal gun trafficking is done by 1% of gun shops! due to the NRA

rolling back inventory clauses!

look, professor, 100% of gun crime is done by criminals that don't give two shits about your libtarded laws. Armed citizens that follow the existing laws against murder are not your problem, they are the criminals problem. NEXT!

It seems to me that if 40% of illegal weapons are being obtained from a small number of places, making it so that those small number of places go away will result in it being harder for bad people to get guns.

The truth, of course, is that the NRA doesn't give two shits about 'bad people' obtaining guns. They want anybody to have any weapon at any time, because the NRA represents the interests of firearms manufacturers.

It's the same group of people who push the "OMG THE WORLD IS SO DANGEROUS" meme. "You'd better buy more guns so you can protect yourself when a home invader tries to kill you. Which is something that happens to everyone all the time!"

Over a million more background checks in 2012 which means more firearms were purchased in 2012, but murders are down...

How do you explain that Einstein??

Gun ownership in 1990 was 54%. Today it's 47%. In 1990 the gun murder rate was 2.5x what it is today.

As I've said before, these things have nothing to do with each other. It isn't the guns killing people, it's the culture that teaches that guns are both necessary and proper ways to solve problems, that there are "others" trying to harm you, and that the big, bad government is going to take away your freedom.

There's this bizarre mentality that says that if somebody does something to offend or harm you, the appropriate response is to KILL them. No concept of appropriate responses. You wrong me in any way, I kill you, end of story.

Two teenagers fighting over a girlfriend turns into gunshots. Some poor kid finds the weapon his dad bought for "protection". Some guy sees someone he doesn't know in his neighborhood and decides to follow him with a loaded gun. An ignorant dipshit decides that he needs to shoot up a religious group that he doesn't understand.

I know, facts don't matter...

Wtf ?

Comprehend my argument that your quote came from.

40% of guns are sold without a background check. Yes it's partly about enforcing existing laws (sometimes legislation is aimed at that), but it's also about loopholes.

Address this with facts: If nation wide, we were to have background checks for gun purchases to increase from 60% eventually to approaching 100%, then guns would be harder for criminals to get ?

No, not impossible. But for impoverished children ? You don't think we can make it harder for them to get guns, if currently 40% are currently sold without any background check?

Bring me some of your facts to address this.

Here we go with meaningless percentages... what was the total population in 1990 versus what is the total population now. Give us the actual numbers for your percentages and you will see a higher number of people own guns while the murder rate went down.

How could that be??

All of these are per-capita numbers, you stupid fucking moron. The TOTAL NUMBER of murders has gone down as has the TOTAL RATE OF MURDERS.

This is because the TOTAL RATE has gone down by MORE THAN POPULATION HAS GROWN.

Using your logic, here are a bunch of other things that are true:

- There has been a dramatic increase in people born with two penises!
- The number of cars, houses, and t shirts are completely out of control!
- Consumption of food has MORE THAN DOUBLED! No wonder why we're so fart!
- Basically everybody graduates from college!
- There are more jobs than there are people!

Living in a reality-based reality is a good thing. You should try it some time.

Answer, they're not.... but we need NEW laws banning "assault weapons" (whatever they might be) and 30 round magazines, like this will make a difference, since 80% of all murders happen in the inner cities with handguns...

80% of gun murders happen in cities because EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE POPULATION LIVES IN CITIES. Do you even read the shit you write?

A few examples where the existing laws don't work because the criminals don't give a shit about them... how about Chicago, how about Oakland, how about Stockton, how about Camden... how are the strict laws working out to minimize shooting deaths in these areas??

Hard to say. Chicago had the highest murder rate in the country when they started enacting strict gun controls in the 80s and 90s. They're squarely in the middle now.

Like every US city, crime rates are down dramatically overall. There were 940 murders in Chicago in 1974 and about 500 in 2012. Population has been relatively constant.

It's worth mentioning that chicago's murder rate declined by more than any other city since they started enacting strict gun control. How much of that owes to simply starting from a higher peak and how much owes to the gun control is extremely poorly researched.

42 nope 2013 Jan 19, 11:36am

Strict gun laws and background checks already exist in many states. In fact, in the recent CT. school shooting, the owner of the guns used had passed all required checks and the guns were legally owned. Also, Adam Lanza had tried to buy his own gun and was turned down. So, now what.

Looks like the background check system worked in that case, didn't it??

But, Lanza stole the firearms from a legal owner and went on his rampage, so all the background checks in the world wouldn't have prevented him, since he was hell bent on breaking the law.

See, this is everything that's wrong with this logic.

NOBODY is suggesting that gun control eliminates all murders. ZERO PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS.

Yes, there are plenty of situations where a bad person could obtain a weapon.

The whole point is to make it more difficult.

The only way for it to be impossible for a bad person to obtain a firearm would be for firearms to not exist.

You can definitely argue that gun control laws don't have the intended effect, but starting with the premise that they're only effective if they eliminate bad people from getting guns entirely is completely wrong.

If I were arguing that ALL gun murders would be prevented by making guns harder for criminals to get, then you might have an argument here that was worth making. Do you understand this ?

Show me the facts and data that says criminals bought their weapons without background checks? I haven't seen any of that data yet from the anti-gun crowd.

"anti-gun crowd ?" Again 89% of republicans, and 75% of NRA members are for universal background checks.

The data says 40% of guns are bought without background checks.

The simplest part of background checks is the part that checks criminal record.

So let's see people with criminal records are getting guns, and 40% of gun sales are made without a background check.

Do you really need me to connect the dots for you ?

I'm sure more will have to be done. But you have to start somewhere.

Oh, and I wouldn't use Cory Booker as a reference... he is the mayor of the garbage, sewer city of Newark... and NJ has extremely strict handgun laws...

Booker can't even clean up his own town of gun violence, but he wants to go on the national stage and rant about gun laws... he's as bad a Rahm in Chicago!!!

He talks a lot about how criminals get their guns. That's his obsession, how to curtail illegal or black market gun traffic.

And he's right, it is a false debate. Over 90% of americans are for universal background checks. I don't think universal background checks will be nearly enough to significantly stop illegal or black market gun trafficking. But it's a good place to start.

There is no reason behind limiting access to any weapon by any legal American citizen. None. It just makes liberals feel empowered and self-important. Much like man-made-global-wraming bull shit EPA laws, gun control is just the now-in-power dopehead generation's way to feel like they make a difference when making a difference is too much work.

3000 babies are murdered by abortion each and every day in America. If you made that harder to access it would save more lives than all the gun murder of teens, in all innercities, combined. Fact.

yes ... just like fist fights happen when little punks get drunk.

Lets try this: If the penalty for commiting murder (with any weapon, no weapon, whatever) was a nude public hanging with the body left hanging in public for a month while the birds and critters ate at it, then fewer people would be willing to commit murder .. with a weapon or not. So, lets make murder really unpopular. I'm all for that.

Now, someone will say that the threat of getting hung nude in public, with your body being ate by nature, is not a deturant to murder ... but, having to go through some bullshit to get a good weapon -THAT is just enough to curb a murderers desire!! come on man, that's just horseshit.

a very good point. as I sat at coffee this moring, each of my fellow coffee drinkers agreed with me on the gun debate. We had 2 farmers, 2 construction workers, 2 small business guys, me (public worker of sorts), and 3 retired guys (1 air force, 1 dairy, 1 insurance broker). All have weapons, some have cc permits, 2 had their weapons on them. Of the 10 guys I am the youngest at 44. I would say they average 65. My views on here match my views in life (pretty much), and they all are more "right" than me, and some are more "libertarian" than even me.

Productive people are not the drug dealers main end user. Unproductive people are the majority drug user in America. Most people that access and use illegal drugs are also relying on some sort of public assistance, either directly or through an enabler (baby mama, mom, granny, family, sister, -- someone else on full blown aide). They may not rely on the cash, directly, but rely on the Section 8 housing, WIC food, EBT card, clothes, toliet paper, medicne, transportation, stuff that comes free and easy to them .. all of which will allow them to use whatever cash money they may get from fencing stolen property on Craigs list, or from their part-time job at the car wash, or painting curb numbers, or mowing yards - on drugs. All of it on drugs. In my opinion, if the free cash lever is removed then the drug dealers take a pay cut. Besides, my example is given in the light of a major issue making food scarce ... and if at that time you don't think it will be them taking your last (fill in blank) away from your dead body, you are nutso.

A fetus is a precursor to mammalian life. It comes after an embryo and sperm, but before birth. Surely you paid attention in 5th grade sex ed classes?

All human children were once embryos, sperm and eggs, proteins and lipids, minerals and amino acids, free molecules, and energy.

Now, to restate: A fetus isn't a human being. I'll grant that it's not "nothing", and is a more important life form than a non-sentient animal (being the precursor to a human being), but it isn't the same thing as a living human child.

I don't necessarily draw the line of "life" at birth like some people -- I just don't believe that a fetus that is not fully developed is a human life any more than a sperm cell is.

lmao .. so, the pro-dope-smokers that pushed through legal dope did so how/why again?.. umm, the big reason was "everyone does it and they are not hurting anyone!" .. but, wait, there was ALREADY A LAW AGAINST SMOKING DOPE ... and, yet, here we are.

Ending prohibition is about the negative consequences of prohibition, not about changing rates of use.

And, yes, the "pro dope smokers" don't believe that they're hurting anyone, because they aren't. Prohibition was stupid legislation brought about by a gross misunderstanding of substance abuse founded in belief rather than science.

Was there a law against smoking dope? Did it stop the scum that smoke dope from doing so?

Yes, indeed it did. It stopped plenty of non-scum from doing so as well.

Ah, I forgot, you're one of those stupid fucking morons who thinks that a law is ineffective unless it completely eliminates some bad behavior.

So, once again, with emphasis:

NO LAW CAN COMPLETELY PREVENT SOMETHING FROM HAPPENING. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT A LAW IS INEFFECTIVE IF IT PREVENTS SOMETHING FROM HAPPENING 100% OF THE TIME, YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON.

The language you're choosing to use pretty much says everything about your whole stance on this. I get it: You don't like poor (black) people. Why not just say that instead of coming up with all of these indirect ways to say it?

They may not rely on the cash, directly, but rely on the Section 8 housing, WIC food, EBT card, clothes, toliet paper, medicne, transportation, stuff that comes free and easy to them .. all of which will allow them to use whatever cash money they may get from fencing stolen property on Craigs list, or from their part-time job at the car wash, or painting curb numbers, or mowing yards - on drugs. All of it on drugs.

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.

The most commonly abused substance amongst poor people is one that is widely legally available at most convenience stores. We tried to ban it once, and while abuse rates went down, the negative consequences were horrifying.

In my opinion, if the free cash lever is removed then the drug dealers take a pay cut. Besides, my example is given in the light of a major issue making food scarce ... and if at that time you don't think it will be them taking your last (fill in blank) away from your dead body, you are nutso.

On the rare occasions that I visit an ATM (people who live in places that matter don't use cash, silly man), I'm not afraid of anybody coming up behind me.

Things are pretty well lit in seattle, so we don't have a lot of dark alleys, but I definitely walk down alleys at night on a regular basis, and I've never once felt unsafe. I've had a few awkward encounters with drunk vagrants, but they're relatively harmless.

By the way, to answer your non-sequitur, Call It Quits, the murder rate is way down in California, so apparently gun control laws DO work.

Any chance murder rates are down in CA because more people are armed, which eliminates violent crime and attacks??

There are more firearms in the hands of CA residents in 2012 but murders are down...... how could that be if more "guns kill more people"??

*

Over a million more background checks in 2012 which means more firearms were purchased in 2012, but murders are down...

How do you explain that Einstein??

awesome

lol .. go play. Nobody can force you to read, nor understand what you read, so you are free to go play. Adios.

So then you still don't have a point, I see.

Um, no there aren't. As Kevin said, gun ownership rate is down. Also, sales are down:

Were there more guns sold in 1989 or after 2000? Hope that question isn't too tough for you.

not a human life?? it is life, and it is made from humans and it is required to create more humans, but you say it is not human life? A sperm cell does not split. Life is splitting cells. A fetus is life. A human fetus is human life. Going backwards in time from your age now, tell me when it is that you stop being a human life.

Cancer is also "human life". So is literally every part of my body by this logic.

No, a fetus is not a human life.

I became a human life when I could viably survive outside of my mother's womb. Since it's hard to definitely draw a line for when that occurred, I'm just going to say it was when my mother pushed me out of her vagina.

Abortion is murder of a baby. Fact.

Opinion, actually, and one that the Supreme Court of the United States disagrees with.

hmmmm ... wait, when did you jump over to my side?

Never, but you don't seem to grasp any point being made. I don't know why I bother with you.

but you fear an armed white conservative Christian because Rosie O and Lord Barry said you should?

I don't know who Rosie O is. I assume you're talking about President Obama with "Lord Barry". I've never spoken with either of these people so I don't see how they could have told me anything.

But, no, I'm not really afraid of anybody. I don't know why you got that impression.

To be fair (and I'm not sure why I should be), he argued about an increase in sales in 2012. There was a slight increase, it's true, because of fear mongering dipshits telling everybody that Obama was going to take away all of their guns.

He's ignored every other year where gun ownership was higher and murders were higher, since there's one data point that vaguely supports his religious belief. You won't get anywhere arguing with him.

whoa whoa whoa ... so you suggest we abandon every special needs kid, and every invalid adult that suffers from stroke, or MS .... wow .. do you realize Dr. Hawking has never been able to be human in your view? Amazing. Truly amazing. Your view cant possibly be correct. You do realize that, dont you?

Cancer is a cellular creation, no doubt. And there are new forms of life created by mutated cells. No doubt. Cancer is not human life, it is a mutation of a cell. Now, when you have a HEALTHY male sperm cell (a lone, single, only live once, never splits, cell) introduced to a female egg cell (a lone, sinlge, only live onve, never splits, cell) the two blend, join, merge, gell, and - almost like magic - become a NEW cell that is a singular, lone, individual, (not independant, but unique) cell -- and inside that very first cell is the entire DNA and instructions for each and every cell that has yet to be created by the SPLITTING of this very first cell ... and it splits, each cell matching itself the EXACT same numbers of times before a new form of matter is created. The cell that splits to make the eye splits exactly the same number of times as the cell that splits to make the knuckle in the right big toe. Now, when does the mass of billions of splitting cells seperate from being eye to being big toe? Never? But, it happens, obviously. Your eye and your big toe came from the same split cell. And at the very instant the first cell was created the size and color of your eye, and the location and size of your big toe were programed into the dell created by the sperm and the egg. If you can make me believe that at some point in time, that set of splitting cells had no idea what they were to create, and how many times to split before starting the next creation of matter, then maybe you will have a point. But, from my understanding of things, there is only one possible healthy life form that can come from the meeting of the sperm cell and the egg cell. Only one. It seems the cells are smart enough to know there is a human getting built by their efforts, but a few humans dont crasp it.
