What I think is your solution makes things worse and more dangerous for everybody, if you can't see that I agree theres no way to come to a solution because I don't want more people in danger. Its not my safety vs 33,00 deaths in any way because you solution wont stop those deaths it will probably increase them. AT least it will change the dynamics of them. While you are increasing the cost for me and making it hard for me to protect myself and stay efficient remind me what stops the bad guys from making their own bullets (which is not hard). What stops the black market from just exploding with ammo while again, people like me who will follow the law will have none or very little.
Do you support assisted suicide?
With a gun? Probably not. Sounds messy.
Do you support assisted suicide?
Prediction: none of the above wins in a romp.
Is there an echo in here?
What do you support?
Prediction: none of the above wins in a romp.
Afraid to expose how disingenuous your anti-gun argument is?
Thank goodness.
Do you see medically assisted suicides the same as suicide by gun?
I believe it was Mae West who proclaimed ... "goodness has nothing to do with it".
Thank God, then.
Unless God votes here under a different screen name - I would not thank him or her either.
I see that you support assisted suicide as a right, but use suicide prevention as a case for banning guns. I also see that your argument is a sham
Freedom was "endowed by our creator".
So you see medically assisted suicide and suicide by gun as equivalent concepts then. Okey dokey, Annie Oakley.
Has he or she voted here in this poll?
They're both suicides.
In a way, yes he has.
In a way, yes he has.
What stops said black market from exploding in another developed, [relatively] stable Democracy? Statistically, it's not plausible that less access to guns and ammo would have no positive impact. The connection between gun-related deaths and the saturation of firearms is difficult to hand wave away.

The Correlation Between Guns and Homicide Rate | RealClearScience
Thats not an answer. What stops the black market and bad guys from making bullets like crazy while I eventually have none?
They're both suicides. You can't support one and want to ban the other and claim any kind of intellectuality.
You keep referring to some magic number that you think will lower and you still arent answer my question though. You really think bad guys and the black market just wont make bullets?It is an answer. Other stable Democratic nations have more stringent gun control laws that result in lower gun saturation, and what you see in those countries is an obviously lower gun-related murder rate.
Yes you made it clear my safety and protecting my home is meaningless to you, you want to try and lower a number based on guesses no matter the cost. BUt his is why I asked my question which you didn't answer. This is america, it isn't "other places" WHen you make ammo say $50 a bullet how does that protect me, my family, society and save lives. The country isn't a vacuum or a computer model, it's a living already existing environment. I mean what you hope for is the same things people hoped for with making alcohol illegal and drugs being illegal now. How did that work and how is it working here in america?With all due respect, I'm more interested in the numbers than your personal fear of not having enough bullets. If you were to show me a stable Democracy with lower gun ownership per capita and yet equal or higher firearm-related homicide numbers, then obviously I would have to re-examine my conclusion. Until then, those numbers are what I'm interested in.
