Ban on marijuana users owning guns is unconstitutional, U.S. judge rules

[bluter]

They get solved by addressing the situations that lead people to feel like their only option is grabbing a gun. Better healthcare, mental health, United communities, housing, education, opportunities, food security. Making people feel like their contributions matter. Giving them a reason to want to invest in their communities and their neighborhoods. The list goes on and on.

this is what i argue for.

Making it more difficult for those that follow the rules to obtain a gun isn’t even a band aid, it’s a completely symbolic effort.

it is exactly what is required in the absence of the other. if you can't be responsible with the tools, then you shouldn't play with them.

 

[CaptainLucky]

There’s so many loopholes for felons to buy weapons it’s ridiculous. Just close the loopholes but not more guns laws. CL

 

[OGpapa]

Is nobody else worried about this?

Doesn't this make your want to own a gun?


This should be a PSA promoting gun ownership

 

[bluter]

the last 48 hrs have been horrible news. stay safe everyone.

 

[MochaBud]

Let’s agree to disagree but if you remember Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, and too many others to count it was assault rifles. I’m pro- guns btw I just don’t think assault rifles are necessary. CL

Not military huh? An assault rifle will have a 3 round burst, or be full auto, the only "semi auto" rifle I've used in the Army was the M24

Show of hands, how many here seen a gunshot wound?
Show of hands, how many here seen the light leave another humans eyes on their last breath?
Show of hands, how many of you talking anti-gun are willing to stand on a skirmish line and ingress to clear a structure in Kandahar of armed insurgents?

Changed that last line a bit but "Been there, done that" ...got a couple purple hearts too

and that is horseshit. that's the attitude of someone who gives up in the face of adversity and fear.
"they" have guns so "we" all need them. there's nothing we can do waaaaaah !


guns kill people just fine. what do you think made them so popular in the US ? it wasn't cake baking.

Have you ever seen an operator with a knife? Close quarters, who needs a gun?

All I really have to say is...

and one more thing to live by is...

assume you mean professional ? i doubt a professional would commit an act of random violence. not that it can't happen. i just chose to believe most have a deeper sense of honour.

as for the standard untrained idiot bent on violence - an idiot with a knife is incredibly dangerous. an idiot with a gun is lethal, with likely a higher number of victims.

much more efficiently with a gun. why else is a gun the number one way to kill in america ?

edit : it's now the number one method here too. by more than double the next which is stabbing.

more edit : oh and the overall rate has nearly doubled as guns become easier to acquire.

number one method of murder. there isn't a study where handguns don't top the list.

Expanded Homicide Data Table 8

ucr.fbi.gov

here's ours

Number of homicide victims, by method used to commit the homicide

Number of homicide victims, by method used to commit the homicide (total methods used; shooting; stabbing; beating; strangulation; fire (burns or suffocation); other methods used; methods used unknown), Canada, 1974 to 2022.

they don't bust handguns out separate here

So out of all the things that kill you. I guess it's time you go after heart disease. Biggest killer world wide.

deflection and obfuscation are great tools, but show a lack of any real ideas. heart disease doesn't make guns any less lethal or problematic.

number one way to kill. i did not say number one way to die. besides, you get to choose the steak with heart disease lol

Hmmm I don't know what you read. How do you overlook drug overdoses from being the biggest murder........?

Yes when you compare guns to guns. Seems like it's an unfair comparison.


Let's look at how many people died unintentionally or intentionally at the hands of another over a 10year period.

Then let's see what the actual cause of death was.


So you think it's easier to conceal a ar 15 in your pocket or a 9mm handgun?

What you keep spewing is propaganda. They only tell you what they want you to know.

So next time you order that cheese burger or extra scoop of ice cream make sure you sentence that waiter to prison for serving your ass a death sentence.

Hahahaha.


Omg.


.


Ok..


Yep..




WEAPONS ARE THE PROBLEM




The remedy is much more simple.



.
.
.
Park the car in the garage. Close the door. Turn up the radio. Rev engine. Repeat.


Maybe somewhere in your dreams, you will wake up in a perfect little oasis. A place where guns don't ruin your future.




But remember.


People kill people.

 

[bluter]

who are "they" ? "they" sure get blamed a lot. sometimes "them" too.

sources i linked are simple number crunching from 2 different north american countries. both sources easy to vet.

Are these your factual links to North American data?

Ok you have a military version and civilian. What do you call a Ruger mini-14? A sporting rifle? CL

 

[OGpapa]

They and them should be easy enough to identify. They are the people you tell your what you want to hear. Who keep you scared, and under educated. With data that points the finger wherever they' tell you to look.


All governments cover up and embellish date to make the herd do what they want.


So now you take that information, and think your making an informed decision. When in all reality. . .
We are all killers.


What would it take for your to kill?

Someone to hurt your child?

Someone to hurt your spouse?

Someone to hurt your nana?

Someone to put your life in danger?


When someone needs to fix the problem, to make sure the people they love will not be hurt again. People do irrational things.


But who are you to judge them?


Are you God?

God is the only person who can judge me.

 

[bluter]

there's others. ours are frankly boring, so i defaulted to the charts.

curious, what do you think is the number one method of homicide ?
