    I'm glad you both think it's funny that criminals have yet another loophole to buy a "gun". I won't ask you if a law should be passed making it illegal to purchase these kits because we all know that would infringe on the 2nd Amendment and the NRA won't make it an issue so it's dead. Laugh away. Stay locked and loaded because there could be a ghost haunting your life someday.

    It is legal to make your own, it is illegal to sell or buy them.

    So there is no "loophole letting a criminal buy a gun".  Fake news again.

    I wouldn't know though, never have seen a ghost gun.

    I seriously doubt that any survivors become indifferent after such an event, let alone 33% of them.

    When it comes to preventable deaths in the tens of thousands, trying to minimize them with a low percentage compared to the population definitely becomes problematic.... Thirty makes a good point in mentioning terrorist attack victims. The same people who reject gun reform also tend to be pretty gung ho about fighting terror, when in fact gun owners are far more dangerous than terrorists are if you're considering victim stats. It's a valid counterpoint.
    gun owners are more dangers that terrorists?  that's a new one.

    should I pull the typical question here and ask where are your links or data to prove that "the same people who reject gun reforms also tend to be pretty gung ho about fighting terror?"

    and the terrorist attacks were a god damn act of war, our gun issue is not an act of war.  Big difference.  
    I mean over 10,000 people die in drunken driving accidents a year, should we ban bars? Responsible drinker until they weren't right?
    Um, I think you missed my point here.

    Yeah, if you're considering victim statistics, gun owners are way more dangerous than terrorists in America. I don't know if it's new or not, but it's a hard fact.

    Obviously I have no links or data to prove that people against gun reform are gung ho about fighting terrorism, but I am comfortable saying that it's a very safe assumption that I've made after lots of observation and the attitudes expressed by politicians who express that sentiment and all the voters who vote for them.

    Hey man, you're the one who opened the door to what I'm saying. You're the one who quoted a statistic about death and claimed it meant something to your perspective. I'm not sure why you're now trying to say that this tactic doesn't work, because, in case you missed it, that is the exact point I was trying to make when you did it.


    Well it is the "America's Gun Violence" thread.
    I'm not sure why you don't like the word "dangerous". Can you explain?

    yes it is an "americans gun violence" thread but we do talk about other countries so the "in america" is pretty key.
    I don't like the word "dangerous" because I would say over 99% of legal gun owners in the united states aren't dangerous however all terrorists are dangerous.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/shocking-moment-householder-shoots-dead-burglar-ran-wife-sending-crashing-swimming-pool-095428890.html

    This is the shocking moment a man shot dead a burglar running at his wife, causing him to fall head first into a swimming pool.

    CCTV footage of the incident in Pocone, in the central Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, shows the burglar fall into the garden pool after being shot by the man he was trying to rob.

    Two men can be seen standing near the pool as a woman parks a bicycle against the garden wall.

    The scene quickly turns chaotic as the woman turns and shouts out at her husband, who was said to be in their bedroom, after she noticed an intruder coming out of their house.

    A man is then seen bursting out of the house and running up the garden – straight towards the woman who called out.

    However, the burglar then collapses into the pool as he passes after it, having been shot and killed by the husband.

    The man who fired the fatal shot was not seen in the clip and was not named in reports of the incident.

    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    A gun was used, there was violence, and it was not in the US. Seems reasonable. 

    And I don't recall reading  that it wasn't okay to post it.

    Has it been snowing around these parts lately? Awful lot of snowflakes around, it seems. And since you brought it up, I do believe Brazil has a lot of guns and as a result, a lot of gun related deaths.

    I would have thought you’d be able to find an example in the good ‘ol US of A seeing how we always hear about how the only way to stop a bad guy is a good guy with a gun.

    Seems odd to arrest the shooter for homicide. There’s always more to the story

    I am curious. Why do you refer to essentially every situation as a "responsible gun owner?" It seems like you're mocking the idea of someone owning a gun and being responsible? No one said 100% of gun owners are responsible, and most are for regulations that would help determine which ones are t and prevent them from possessing a gun.
    do you not believe that people can, and almost always do take proper precautions with their firearms? What is the number, something like 300 million guns in this country or something? And a couple thousand accidental shootings. 
    Not that we can't or shouldn't try to do better, but how is there no such thing as a responsible gun owner?

    I am curious. Why do you refer to essentially every situation as a "responsible gun owner?" It seems like you're mocking the idea of someone owning a gun and being responsible? No one said 100% of gun owners are responsible, and most are for regulations that would help determine which ones are t and prevent them from possessing a gun.
    do you not believe that people can, and almost always do take proper precautions with their firearms? What is the number, something like 300 million guns in this country or something? And a couple thousand accidental shootings. 
    Not that we can't or shouldn't try to do better, but how is there no such thing as a responsible gun owner?
    Because that’s how the NRA and you gun owners always present yourselves and when “accidents” happen, there seem to be little to no consequences of said “accidents.” I’ve posted a few news stories of people who were alleged to have been “responsible” gun owners killing and maiming innocent people minding there own business. I’ve also posted statistics about “responsible” gun owners who when they reported their guns stolen, didn’t even know the last place they had left it. Happens everyday in the good ‘ol US of A. So yea, responsible gun owner until you’re not.
    I didn’t say “there’s no such thing as a responsible gun owner.” Thanks for muddying the waters. Just like I’ve never called for a ban of guns or gun shows but you seem to use those terms together quite frequently.

    It's more than fair to say irresponsible gun owners emerge from the pool of responsible gun owners.

    Just as it's fair to say every gun used to kill something worked exactly as it was designed. Guns were not developed to aerate fields or as paper hole punches. They are outstanding tools for killing things.

    As I mentioned earlier... the people that trot this out there would be more credible if they suggested they were armed in the event of an 'invaders from out of space' event.
