We'll just keep having more incidents like Cafe Racer where innocents are gunned down by "lawful gun owners," ...until they're not. Sensible gun control laws are all over the books. Look at Chicago and tell me how well they're enforced. I do find it amusing that guys like JPS rail on for years about the handful of "lawful gun owners" who shoot someone but are strangely silent about the 11,000 illegal gun owners who kill people every year. Then he blames it on the lack of more gun laws. I suppose the government could just ban guns. That worked so well on drugs. Hell, why don't we just pass a law that makes murder illegal ... problem solved. 11,000 illegal gun owners who kill people. Cite please. Guns being sold in massive quantities without controlled distribution and stuipd owners who do not lock them up is half the reason why it's so easy for criminals to get their hands on a gun. Most of them are stolen from "legal gun owners" from what I understand. Your 'understanding' is bull****. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics firearms possessed by prison inmates at the time of offense only about 9.1% in 1994 and 7.5% in 2004 were acquired from theft or burglary. That's a far cry from your 'most' claim. Next tell me that prison inmates aren't representative of the population committing murders. In 2004 more than 25% of the firearms acquired by these folks came from drug dealers or others on 'the street'. Be sure and pass on to your buddy, Krause the gun nut in BAO's opinion, that in both years less than 1% of those folks acquired their guns from gun shows. Do you ever feel like you're just full of ****? If you wanted to respond to me, perhaps you could have addressed my question. Do you ever answer a question? I asked for a cite about 11,000 gun deaths a year provided by "illegal gun owners." Were they "illegal" before they shot someone or before? Nearly half of gun deaths each year are suicides, should we expect that'll be your fitting end when you've had enough? Hell, it is illegal to attempt suicide. We get lots of jumpers off the GG Bridge. So many, and they are not publicized to prevent more leaps of doom. Illegal to jump from the bridge. Works to stop jumpers? Maybe we need to make it easier for someone to off themselves with out the mess of shooting themselves or jumping. How many suicide via car are there? |
