The racial divide on gun deaths in America « Hot Air
About half the victims of gun homicide are African-American. Gun violence has wreaked absolute havoc on communities of color.
While white people complain about sex education and argue about evolution, PoC just hope their kids can get to school without being shot by a police officer or a vigilante.
Is it too much to ask to give up the right to own 16 different firearms so that maybe communities of color can be a little more safe?

roughly 90% of those guns were either stolen or purchased illegally, not through the legal channels where background checks and others precautions apply
You post some of the stupidest **** I've ever seen. The title of this thread alone, should be nominated for a Darwin award. :roll:
I agree with this statement....but it won't happen because people can't see the big pictureA better solution would be to end the war on drugs.

"they see through the glass darkly"
but it would impact gun violence in a positive way, yes

HE apparently has started two threads with the same title
Was it any less stupid the second time?
Is this not a complete duplicate of the thread you just made?
as well as massive profits I fully agree with thiswell you seem to be on the right page concerning the war on drugs. the silly war on drugs has created a massive black market which in turn leads to massive turf wars by rival black marketeers fighting each other. That, and the costs of the illegal narcotics, fuels massive violence
this part too is true, I would be in favour of tight controls as I do not believe the average individual has the need for nor the expertise to have a personal arsenal of weapons in their homeyet your posts in the past suggest you want to ban or severely restrict legal access to firearms which would create the same black markets for firearms that we have for drugs
as well as massive profits I fully agree with this

Okay, rights are not based on needs. They are pre-existing fundamental liberties that exist in nature, they are not dependent upon any other factor except a natural order that cannot be granted, only taken away by force, I am not going to allow anyone to take away my rights under any reasoning or circumstances.as well as massive profits I fully agree with this

I can be more dangerous with a set of golf clubs. Last time I played we were rushing to finish because a tournament was starting at a set time and I was all over the place, missed some poor dude by a matter of feet on a miffed pull to the right, I was using new distance clubs and it would have royally ****ed his day up had that liner hit him. :dohwhat you think others NEED is not really relevant to a constitutional right
I don't play golf, dance or skateboard. so why do we clutter up nice rifle ranges with golf tees? and who needs kneepads or leotards?

Secondly, I have needed my firearm more than three times, and have had it for only three of those times due to following the rules and laws of our society, the times I didn't have it fortunately the other guy had a knife or fists and I was able to either diffuse or otherwise end the situation, but let me tell you from experience that when you NEED a firearm and don't have it, it is not a comfortable situation to put it lightly.
Lastly, since we already have the pre-existing right to arms, I am not concerned with the wish list of people who favor the opposite. I have the right, end of conversation.

I find that most dumb laws focus on symptoms rather than causes as a knee jerk reaction. It's like trying to treat an aneurism with Tylenol.Gun control would be an attempt to solve a symptom and not the underlying problems that lead to gun violence in many of these inner city neighborhoods. I think a better approach would be to improve things so that people didnt feel the need to harm others.
