Do you understand you have a gun problem ?

[phaquetoo]

you are on food stamps and disability and medicaid.

what could they possibly sue you for?

They could sue you for big lou's money!

 

[phaquetoo]

funny that @cat of curiosity 'liked' this post about the government being afraid of him.

i'm not sure that's the case since the government is making sure he doesn't die of starvation and lack of medical care by sending him free money.

sounds like a broken, mean, queer record!

You think of the kids and grow up, people kill people, Guns dont kill people!

Stuck on silly now ..... it's getting/got old that justification.

 

[Cannaspace]

You don't see it unless you live somewhere else, the rest of the world see usa has having a huge problem and you all sleep with guns under your pillows.

that's how we see it and so should you ..... question ...... would any of you want to move to europe away from the guns for your kids safety ?

I know that as I qualified expert on the AR15.

My point being that most hunting guns were and are used in the military. The big bad scary black gun is what I was getting at.

I think your assault weapon definition was overly inclusive. The term has evolved largely as a result of weapons politics in the developed world. I'm using the professionals' definition precisely because I am pushing back against the vague semantics that are driving the emotional/irrational side of the debate. OP provides a compact example of this phenomenon, that in my opinion muddies the discussion.

On a more relaxed note, I have sometimes chuckled at the redundancy of the phrase "assault weapon". Every weapon from the hand-sized rock on up to ... the sapient malware that I speculate are kept suspended and ready by the superpowers ... has one and only one use: assault. All weapons are offensive; using them for defense makes NO difference at the "how the weapon works" level; that is entirely a higher-level matter ... essentially "at what are you aiming and why", tactics and strategy.

Any non-assault device or facility is not a weapon and is correctly grouped under "armor".

Well that was a screed! Good morning

LOL not much of a student of history, eh?

Let me ask my AR-15 if I have a problem....

Don't you live in California man you guys got some of the strictest gun laws in the country

Yea well done son, you might want to work on that logic

 

[cannabineer]

I agree we have a gun problem. The problem is gun inequality. It is estimated that only 3 percent of Americans own over 50 percent of the guns. How can we redistribute these fairly so that everyone has access to firearms?

Occupy Springfield Armory!

Except my kid isn't one of those people out looking to harm others for no reason, and there's people like this all over the place not just in America. Why don't we discuss it in more detail at my office

 

[cannabineer]

Let me ask my AR-15 if I have a problem....

Ask slowly. ARs are quick with their opinions. They like to shoot off at the mouth. Touch'em just so and they'll be glad to repeat the whole thing.

They aren't very original thinkers though. They get everything out of magazines.

This happens no matter where you live

CNN)At least nine people were killed and 16 others injured Friday in a shooting rampage at a busy shopping district in Munich, Germany, police said.

Just a serious problem, it couldn't be any worse (no idea why i'm laughing, maybe that's the problem)


57% vote worried.



Ok people of my amazing thread, 1 question and i want 1 word answers (ha ha !! sure) ..... do you want guns in your country ? apart from hunting ones in mountains etc


yes or no ?

A serious question. How can one keep guns out of a country? Specifically, how do we prevent the REAL gun horror from ever recurring?

I believe it was George Santayana who observed Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. I have learned some history. I have a gun or two.

YES yes I do as its my right as an American also I have hunted and killed deer with an AR - 10 ( chambers a .308 round ) so what would you call a hunting gun.. not all hunting happens in the mountains

This is one of the most ignorant posts I have seen on RIU. Someone looking for attention. And to be honest with you, we really don't want you or your kids here. The only folks we really want here are those that understand our way of life who embrace it and want to participate in it. Folks like you seem to only be able to sit back and spew nonsense and have no idea what they are talking about. With your level of ignorance I really feel sorry for your kids; that they are being taught things that are based off of stupidity and not facts!

Sometimes identifying and defining just what is nonsense is a valuable exercise. There is the off-chance that I can get a fellow RIUnian to think about what is being said, what isn't being said and (most interesting to me) what is being said but not really.

Consider that the biggest gun problem of all - war - has been largely absent from this doscussion. So why is this bad

and this apparently just peachy? (Dresden civilian dead)
