Supreme Court turns away a 2nd Amendment challenge to blue-state bans on assault weapons

Rope violence
Airplane violence
Knife violence
Motor vehicle violence

"Racial violence" indicates violence inflicted on the basis of the racism of the violent person. "Racial" is not a noun.

"Gun violence" indicates conflating suicide, homicide, and accidents as if they are all the same thing, with the same cause and the same political remedy. At bottom, it's baby talk. You'll often hear the people mewling about "gun violence" also say that guns commit crimes.

I think I'll regard your claim that firearms commit crimes as the baby talk it is.
You should file that statement under "Things I should have learned"

I don't think you've convinced anyone that guns commit crimes. Did the Gun Control Industry fail you, or are you failing it?

Name the adjective and the noun in these phrases:
airplane travel
car accident
knife wound
racial violence
firearm violence
There is no such thing as firearm violence. Inanimate objects can’t commit acts.

There's the goalpost move.

Sorry. Guns don't commit crimes and they don't commit suicide either.

Measures to reduce suicide have to do with helping people get the mental health care they need. Making the means to which someone would do this illegal doesn't stop anything I doubt you're worried about a fine if you're ready to put a gun to your head.
 
Into my 30s I was self-medicating for Bipolar Disorder with alcohol and drugs. I did many incredibly stupid and dangerous things. I visited places that were not exactly safe. 🙄 And I was in frequent contact with ex-cons, soon-to-be cons, gang members, South American coke dealers, also gentlemen from Harlem, Spanish Harlem, Washington Heights, Trenton, Camden, Newark, etc.

Never once in all that time did I think having a gun would make me safer or improve my chances of survival. I knew some of these people had guns, but I never saw a gun and was never threatened with a gun. They knew I wasn't strapped... I just wanted to trade money for drugs. I got ripped off a few times, not many. But I never felt my life was threatened.

I think this is because of the gun laws in NY and NJ. Honest citizens can buy and own guns in NJ and NY. But you get a background check and need permits. The laws for carrying a guns illegally are almost Draconian. The system works fine. Just check the violent gun crime stats compared to other states.
First I am not too concerned with the thought process of someone choosing to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Second so you are saying those criminals you were dealing with that were armed passes that background check?
If not then how exactly did the nyc law help with any of that.
So basically either those criminals carrying guns passed the background check which seems odd if they are ex cons, or your claims that the system works just fine are BS.
 
Yup, in the U.S. Some other court, hopefully, will interpret the Constitution differently. AND if such ever occurs, the bleating from the Right will be staggering. Everyone applauds a court's ruling when it suits them, but if a court rules otherwise, the applauders become complainers.

By here is a finer point: Just because you can, ask yourself why you HAVE TO? I am allowed to drive a big truck also. I choose not too. I can hoard my money and never give to charity. But I opt to not think that way. I have the "right" to be a bigot and call black people the N word, and that is protected speech, but I would never do so. You might not believe this, but I actually know some hunters. NONE of them own a AK-15. That is the truth. NOT ONE. If you need an AK-15 to shoot game then you aren't really a hunter, just a wannabee one.
More BS and lies.
How unsurprising.

Firearms are irrelevant to suicide rates.
 
Your credentials on Canadian law and traditions is vaporous.

I like to copy this shit and publish it as humor on other sites. Truly it is ****ing out of this world in the stupidity department

Americans are a ****ing riot!
An even bigger riot is how butt hurt Canadians get when they have reality pointed out to them.

As you prove over and over
 
Present your evidence to support that opinion.
It's already been presented you are just obstinate.

But I'll go ahead and do it again.

The survive rate in Japan is higher than in the US despite ownership of guns being extremely lower.
 
Present your evidence to support that opinion.
I haven’t offered an opinion.

Japan has no private ownership of firearms. Their suicide rate dwarfs the US rate.

What suicide rate would Japan have if they had American access to firearms?
That is the question you fail to understand as central to your imperfect "evidence".

You do not seem to have a very good grasp of data or understand how to formulate a persuasive argument.

Firearms are irrelevant to suicide rates.

Because it’s a meaningless question. We’ve been over this many times. Why do you think circling back to previously curb stomped arguments will somehow change the fact you’ve been refuted?
