One for the gun lovers...
Today is January 15th - so far we've had SEVEN mass shootings this year:

Ban guns now so people like that kid trying to rob that woman won't be able to get a gun or the ammunition for it.
It's quite sickening how low the gun loving lobby will go to justify their precious guns.
And suppose the US did attempt to ban all guns, who do you think would turn them in? Most likely it would be the woman with the concealed carry permit, and least likely would be the 19 year old mugger with a handgun. And as 80 percent of all firearms used and traded by criminals are illegally obtained, with 30 percent untraceable ghost guns, what makes you think this youth would be unarmed because you banned of lawful gun ownership?
Moreover, in what dream world do you think that illegal ammo, like illegal guns, could not be obtained from the same black market?
Whatever your opinion, there is no excuse for spider-holing into the willfully obtuse. What you are actually proposing is to "Ban guns now so that the 19yr old criminal with a gun will be able to rob that woman whose gun was confiscated".
You know it, I know it, and the thread reader knows it.
Yeah right.
Straight out of the "arm everyone who goes to church"
The problem with US gun crime is that not enough of the victims get to shoot back !!!
Just reading over this thread has made me realize how truly warped and deranged some on the far left have become.
They are actually arguing that if somebody points a gun at your head and demands whatever of your possessions that somebody wants, your possessions should be meekly handed over with trust that the robber has no intention of using that gun. Never mind that pointing a gun at somebody without justification is classified as assault with a deadly weapon. Never mind that there is no way to determine the intentions of the robber--will he not want any witnesses to the robbery? Does he get his jollies terrorizing and then murdering people? Will he get excited and accidentally pull the trigger?
How many police officers are supposed to meekly submit to somebody who points a gun at them? Why should the average citizen be expected to do that?
This country is losing its collective mind when it comes to common sense on these things
Round and round it goes.
Advice: (1) SCOTUS properly identified the right as an individual right, (2) the only things that might possibly make a dent in the illegal market - after decades - would be the sort of gun registry people are abhorred at. Cut off straw buyers and you knock out a huge section of the black market.
But let's be straight here. We're so far gone that nothing we do allowable under the 2nd will make a difference, except perhaps what I just said, which itself would take so long to kick in because of how long non-discarded guns last.
Pragmatism, people.
Banning guns wouldn't stop that.One for the gun lovers...

Dealey justification needed is that if I have a gun I can use it to defend myself. Good grief you have to justify me not being able to use a firearm to defend myself. and some murderer killing somebody with a gun is not justification.It's quite sickening how low the gun loving lobby will go to justify their precious guns.

hotair.com lives up to its name, its complete bull****. Think progress editor was not pissed she defended himself, he was pissed with the gleefulness of conservatives that she killed someone
What a joke right wingers are that they whine about biased media, which consists of the most respected networks and papers, yet they will post something from places like hotair.com and brietbart.

Well, I'll say it: That piece of **** armed mugger deserved to die.
I guess I could have been clearer. Both,but I did have our little friend Rich2018 foremost in mind.Is the HE a poster here or the editor? Either way My Opinion is the only reason someone would say something that stupid, should of let yourself get robbed, is because this story doesn't fit into the ALL GUNS ARE BAD narrative. It sad that some people would rather others be victims of crime than legally use a gun to protect themselves from crime to advance their anti rights agenda.

And that's only because people own guns for self defense, not because the perpetrators in those incidents were criminals. No. It's because I go skeet shooting.One for the gun lovers...

Oh, you're one of those idiots that believes criminals follow the law....
And that's only because people own guns for self defense...
Gun lovers excuse # 2a
We need guns to protect ourselves.
WRONG !!!
That's not the argument I made
Excuse me
You said: "...people own guns for self defense..."
Excuse # 2a.
Some people do.
I don't think you're qualified to tell me why people own guns.No they don't.
Not private citizens.
So hundreds of millions if people who own guns shouldn't have them because you can find an anecdote where someone kills a bunch of people?And yes you can give single anecdotes...I can trump every one by Google-ing "mass shootings USA, 2018"
