A Democrat Senator on Guam was getting death threats so he applied for a Concealed Carry license over here. During the background check they found out he was part of a burglary in California and plead guilty.

He had to step down as Senator because he lied and failed to declare his conviction when he filled out the paperwork to be a Senator.

Anti-Gun Democrat taken down by a Anti-Gun law...priceless.

Guns are 20th Century technology. Directed Energy is where the 21st Century will be. No bullets for forensics to find. Everyone needs to get to the 21st Century and start building new technology for self defense.

they should band drugs too!
then it would stop all the drug crime.
and all of the gun crime too.

I wish they could stop crime.
but there are evil sick people who will use every thing
they can to Take by all means every thing they can.

is a mad man goes mad he will use any thing.
he could get a Big lorry and drive it in to a school.
and kill more than a gun can.
if it is going to happen it will happen.
no gun? use a bomb or knife or car,
petrol bomb(if rich), stick or just fists and feet.

if some one uses violence they should go to jail.
Then spend the rest of there life in a jail village.
and I dont mean drunk drivers.

people have the right to be safe.
not to have people on the street who Have killed and rape't.
gone to jail got out and keep doing it.

the criminals can get guns far to easily.
do they have to rape your wife and 5 year old son,
then murder them at gun point in front of you.
before you see that you need a gun TO?

if the criminals know You have a gun.
they will be a lot less lightly to do this,

Guns or a piece of stone is NEVER the problem. Violence is.

While guns and stones cannot be eradicated, violence can. It only lays in the mind and will of a caring society.

i agree with the original post

if people grow up in a violent society/home or if they just want to harm another human being, then that is the problem that needs to be resolved. the legality of owning a firearm does not solve the problem.

Violence,Death,Physical Harm?.

The price of being alive is a death sentence.

All the laws in the world,banning whatever for whatever reason,won't protect you from reality.

Some things have always been here,and there is nothing anyone can do.

...When I'm at work MR Black knows who is supposed to be in the house and who is not. By the actions when the door bell rings when my wife arrives to greet who is at the door you know who is standing by to defend. Mr Black....


And the first thing they do is shoot the dog. When the door opens the guy has the gun in his hand READY. Been there done that - Washington DC 1974. It is why I sleep with a shot gun under the bed now.

All based on 2007 stats cause I'm just too lazy to find current, but they haven't changed enough to ruin the illustration.
Toronto vs Miami...FIGHT!

Toronto:
Population - 4,683,00
Homicides - 2 / 100,000
Robberies - 150 / 100,00

Miami:
Population - 386,000
Homicides - 19.4 / 100,000
Robberies - 767 / 100,000

Winner! Toronto!

Toronto vs Atlanta...FIGHT!

Toronto:
Population - 4,683,00
Homicides - 2 / 100,000
Robberies - 150 / 100,00

Atlanta:
Population - 471,000
Homicides - 34.2 / 100,000
Robberies - 858 / 100,00

Winner! Toronto!

If you really want to compare Canadian city crime rates vs American cities...well...Maybe Winnipeg...

As far as I can tell, guns don't prevent or increase violence.

People do!

Stop looking at guns as if they are the cause or the solution...they are inanimate objects for christs sake.

Canada has been in a downward spiral as of the last 10 years. Though i have been there many times and I have to agree some places are beautiful. Your country is pretty socialist.
May I ask what your taxation rate there in CANADA is.


Socialist...yup, the Great Pink North.

As to our tax rate? I don't know. Taxes are the price we pay for civilisation. What is more relevant is quality of life, and the simple fact is that we are...at very least...living as well as y'all. Even better when you consider all of the Americans being thrown out of their houses due to financial practices that would send the bankers to jail in this great Socialist paradise. All that and universal health care.

Keep your guns...I mean really, keep them there...we don't need or want them.
And the Ganja? Guess which neighbour to the south is our best customer?

You may...however, it is not relevant.

How about we compare disposable incomes...the moneys we have left after paying for taxes, avg mortagages, avg HEALTHCARE, etc...

Here is a report from one of the big 5 banks in Canada...The Widening Canada-US Income Gap

See, the problem with comparing direct tax rates is that our governments spend our tax dollars on different things...so taxes are no longer relevant. What is relevnat is how much money you have AFTER you pay ALL of your standard expenses.

I know another outdated report (2009) but I am just having a lazy day.

Is it off-post to suggest that such an insult might be better received...

...if it weren't misspelt?

You know, posts like this don't help the discussion at all...what gives?

Guns are neither good or bad...America's problems don't stem from guns.

They stem from people that use guns for violence...now, granted it is much more likely that you will survive a knife fight than a gun fight, the FIGHTING is the issue, not the weapons.

How about those of us that own guns, advocate for the 2nd amendment, but would like to see laws in place to ensure that folks that are completely out of thier mind and are unable to communicate in coherent sentences are not allowed to walk into a sportings good store and walk out with a Glock 19 and several expanded capacity 30 round magazines like Jared Loughlin did?

Its as simple as this. Guns do not kill people... People kill people. It doesn't matter if its a gun a knife a home made grenade a home made bomb. When people are crazy enough to kill someone they will do it. It wouldn't matter if guns were banned or not. Why ban my legal right to hunt with a rifle when I have not done anything wrong and would never do anything wrong with a fire arm.

Everyone calling for fire arm bans I say this to you. "stop crying because some crazy person decided to use a gun to kill someone. It doesnt matter that it was a gun they would have made the attempt to kill someone either way it probably just wouldn't have been in a public setting and they wouldnt have been caught".
