Repealing the 2nd

Not to mention NJ.

the politicians in NJ should be under sentences of treason for their blatant violations of the constitutional rights of their citizens
 
Awhile back here where I live a guy walked onto the tracks and stood there and the engineer couldn't do a thing about it except blow the horn and watch. The engine got a new red paint job.
Thing sometime after that a guy did a literal swan dive off an overpass by a train yard. Not sure if the train hit him,but he hit the rails from about I'm guessing 25 feet. And there have been others here. You are right if someone wants to they will.

I was actually once in a train that had hit a boy on a tractor. This was somewhere in the midwest, the boy had driven a tractor out onto the tracks and sat there in the tractor while the train hit it and totaled the tractor and him along with it. They suspected it was a suicide. I was a passenger in the train.

BTW this was out in the midwest which is very gun friendly and where guns are quite easy to legally get. And this was a suicide that wasn't done with a gun.

But when you look at the top ten homicides states 8 out of ten have lax gun laws. That is year in and year out. That is impressive evidence

The states with lax gun laws tend to have less gun homicides.

I agree, but how are we going to do that?
 
Unacceptable. I offer gun control
So rather say move out of those areas which affects nobody but the person/family moving out, you propose that we pass gun control which will affect every citizen in the United States.

Yes. We also did not tell black people to move out of areas they were being discriminated in

Wonderful, but who will bell the cat?

Do you propose to disarm all the gang-bangers yourself in fully gun controlled South Chicago neighborhoods?

Perhaps we can put a dozen armed police officers ("killer pigs" to the leftists) on every street corner as they have in the federal areas of Washington DC. Apparently guns have utility when used to protect the asses of the elites?

I have never heard gunfire in my neighborhood yet all of my neighbors are armed and many like myself carry when we are forced to go into town for one reason or another.

You offer nonsense.

Well I offer scientific evidence that gun control works. You have no plan at all.

No, you don't. Scientism and science are not the same:

sci·en·tism sīənˌtizəm/
(noun rare) excessive belief in the power of scientific knowledge and techniques.

Science does cover the question of whose life is worthy of armed protection and unless you have a "scientific" solution that eliminates 100% of all firearms (civilian, police, military) in the world you are spouting pure nonsense.

My "plan" is to pray for heaven in the afterlife, there are no socialist heavens, only various versions of hell.

Good luck with that plan. I'm going for gun control. Lol
 
I'm pretty sure everyone wants gun control, people just disagree with over how much control private citizens should have.

smart people want laws that target those most likely to cause harm with guns and want to punish those who actually harm others. Many gun banners want to pass laws that ONLY apply to those who don't cause problems with guns.

crap like waiting periods and the number of guns you can buy only harass people who can legally buy guns. Bans on "assault weapons" don't change the legal environment for felons and fugitives-they already are banned from owning any guns.

so we who want to cut down on crime committed by armed criminals want tougher sentences on those who use weapons to harm others. Many on the left want to harass lawful gun owners

This sort of thing is why you are not taken seriously.

UBCs will only be followed by non-criminals. Registration and penalties for non-compliance can only be required for non-felons.

So what's your take on gun control? How do we control it?

Cool. Like I say, I find the entire "discussion" folly, we as a society decided long ago we were ok with all the gun violence in this society. It's just that we have to do all the faux hand wringing and flag half staffing when another mass shooting arises. We must pretend for the world that we're really put off by it.

Well, some of us would actually like the feds to prosecute 4473 violators, and put actual straw purchasers in prison, and not allow violent criminals to cop pleas to dropped firearms charges. It's those people who are responsible for nearly all of the crime and all of the homicides.
 
No one really expects much from the likes of you but this nonsense, the sky is not falling, hasn't been for the 6 decades I've been hearing this crap.

Listen here slick...you people HAVE been ****ting on our rights for the past 6 decades and have tried to BAN HANDGUNS, RIFLES, AND SHOTGUNS of VARIOUS TYPES. So YOU tell ME...why shouldn't I act like the "sky is falling" when it is the AMBITION that we have CREATED to COUNTER ACT your ambition that has WORKED? See. You can pretend that we are the "chicken littles," but all that is is just a cover for the fact that all the garbage attempts to ban firearms have FLOPPED and left you losing election after election because people like you refuse to support the right of us "little people" to defend ourselves and our families.

we should compare my posts with your posts. and what I said is 100% true. Your conspiracy nonsense is one of the top jokes on this board.

Well if you want to actually do something about the people who commit those crimes...vote republican. Democrats believe in leniency on felons. You would get no second look from me if you gave mandatory death penalties for robberies and such involving a firearm.
