I'd hate to think of the Orwellian mind control that the liberals would impose on America if they ever had the opportunity.

But those that turn to crime dont uually do it with a fireplace poker. Most violent crimes are gun assisted .Do you agree??

They'd use other weapons if they didn't have guns though, so there would be no real change.

We can all agree that more murders in the USA are committed with a gun than any other weapon? Right? As rational human beings with functioning brains, we can at least agree on that one fact?

Yes, I agree.

But I strongly question the relevance of this fact.

The victims would be just as dead if they had been murdered with a different kind of weapon.

Maybe we can even agree that suicides are more likely to be successful with a gun than with say, pills. And that the chance of dying via suicide is more likely in homes that have firearms. Can we agree there too, or is that too far?

Jumping off a high bridge is pretty effective.

I think Robin Williams hung himself.

The way things are going the way you kill somebody will become a matter of doing it in the most humane way. The crime will be forgotten just like other problems deliberately avoided by those who refuse to think things through.

Ambassador Bolton put a stop to them. You wouldn't believe all the embittered whining that went on at the UN that day.

But I guess that's the 2003 Iraq war fully justified now. Looks like Iraq had WMDs after all.

By the way, I hear that Mr. Trump is considering Mr. Bolton for a high White House position.

I hope he chooses him. Mr. Bolton would make a fine addition to the Trump Administration.

Mr. Bolton also did good work in the fight to stop Al Gore from cheating his way to the presidency:

No counter. She is the person who issues commands to the Florida legislature for us.

She is currently organizing the end of some of these legislators' political careers. It's going to be a fun primary season in Florida. I just love watching gun banners cry when their political careers come to an end.

No. I'm good for it.

You could just look at homicide rates as they relate to gun ownership and note the absence of correlation.

@oralloy,

you actually believe she listen's to the membership. SHe's claimed how he thinks up policy and bills.
When is the last time she spoke with you??

The reason why she has so much power is because she is in tune with us. We think like her. She thinks like us. She is one of us.

She does a good job.

I've never spoken with her.

Different countries have different levels of gun ownership.

Another way this gun culture is killing: police officers scared for their lives and shooting at any black man holding any object that could be miqunderstood as a gun.

Stephan Clark was holding only his cellphone when he was fatally shot in his own backyard Sunday night by two Sacramento police officers who fired at him 20 times, the department said Tuesday.

Isn't that some messed up ****? They fired 20 bullets into him... It's a ridiculous event that should have never happened.

@Olivier5,

I love how the title only tell part of the story. He was seen trying to break into a neighbors house, he jumped the fence, encounted police and ignored commands in the front yard and fled to the back yard where he was seen with an object that he "raised" in their direction, they fired.

Now that sounds a lot different then just being in the back yard and being shot by police, doesn't it.

@Baldimo,

Interesting. I heard the police were looking for someone that was breaking car windows and as they were searching for that person, they ran into the victim and pumped him full of lead. I will have to look further into it.

Even so, you think that their response of 20 rounds fired isn't a tad much? They are trained police officers wearing body armor...

Link above now has the bodycam video in it. You should watch it.
