    An interesting article about the CDC and research on gun violence, how gun-toting advocates are misinterpreting it, and how research isn't being done, although it doesn't actually say why in the hell it's not being done. Gun-rights folks say it's because of Obama, but actually I haven't read anything showing that to be factual. Could be, but it seems like just a guess.

    why are people bring guns onto a plane esp. on a carry on? do they think they will get the gun on the plane?

    Any time I start a sentence with that I already know the answer before I am done asking..."Well...people are stupid" is almost always the answer.

    it looks like it is a max fine of 10k. i would have thought that it would be more serious

    doesn't Florida have a stand your ground law? if so and this guy is shooting in his front lawn can't someone just shoot him stating that they were afraid for their safety?

    if you are so fucking lazy and can'5t go to shooting range why not put the shooting range in the backyard?

    that stat is true if you are talking about only rifles or shotguns (both separate categories). lots of people want to ban certain types of rifles because they look scary but in reality they account for less than 5% of people murdered.

    Yes, it's true if you count only rifles, but that would be ridiculous, wouldn't it? And GF said "guns", not "rifles", so presumably he was including handguns.

    I think it's funny that train members use names to discribe a group they don't agree with...and then justify it to them selfs LOL ! there are durogritory names for EVERY group of people and originazion
    sooooooo shal we use them freely ?

    Godfather.
  • I think it's great when they use names. they look like whiny little kids throwing a temper tantrum. oh boohoo you don't believe what I do so you're insane and stupid. wahhhhhh. all the things that kill in my life kick ass but you're a crazy wacko because you don't do whatever it takes to save lives by getting rid of guns. wahhhhhhh. I don't want the general population to be able to defend themselves against armed criminals. I want the same thing as murderers and rapists and it's all good because I want guns off the street and you're insane in the membrane if you don't believe that too.wahhhhhhhhh. jose gets a pass though because he believes everything about guns is pure evil. even an Olympian that shoots for sport is the spawn of satan. heheheh

    side note, a spade is a spade is racist. let's toss that saying in with the confederate flag and get it banned.
    if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.

    I would like it so a gun used in a crime can better be traced to the original owner and start holding those accountable that can buy legally and then sell to folks who shouldn't or couldn't otherwisee get a gun.

    In my state only the first purchase requires a backround check. Gun shows and other private sales aren't reported in the slightest.

    all too often whats missing from the conversation is HOW the criminals are getting these weapons. That IS the goal right? Keeping guns from the criminals? How about some legislation that holds those who sell to criminals or "black market " or dark sales accountable as accesories to whatever crime is commited..

    Please tell me where that is unreasonable.

    You think you don't participate in name calling? You think you're exempt? How many forms of 'Obama' have you amused yourself with in this forum?

    Funny thing is... I can't recall anyone getting sad over your remarks like Verona did a few posts back.

    It must be hard to cling to an absurd belief- denying the absolute truths that clearly define a reality one does not wish to accept.

    as a responsible gun owed and nra member I 100% agree with you. I have zero problem with background checks every time you buy a gun and registration of weapons. I live in new jersey and we have the 3rd strongest gun laws in the united states. Most of the weapons used by criminals are bought out of state.
