Looking at this graph, Panther, do you believe, that if guns were hypothetically banned, that the murder rate would still be as high and thusthe drop in gun homicides, matched by increase in other forms? Hey bumjack can you do better than wiki? Will bureau of justice statistics do dickhead? Page 6 http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/hus11.pdf My answer would remain exactly the same:
Without any ban, hypothetical or otherwise, gun crime & deaths are steadily declining, because of better education, awareness, & the glaring fact that more good people are carrying concealed firearms than ever before.
Criminals worry, actually scared silly, if their once easy prey might just might be carrying, & if they insist on proceeding anyway, they are finding out the hard way that those that are carrying are very well trained & quite capable of defending themselves.
The only thing I would add is, regardless of how you or I might feel about the subject, it's the American People & only the American People that matter one way or the other, & they don't want draconian gun control.....period.....full stop.....as the murder & crime rates reside without any controls mandated by government (even if government were permitted to by the constitution to do so, which they aren't....)
Good for them. May they continue being the oddest country on the planet. In all honesty, the US can do whatever the smacking hell they want. Just don't try and defend it as scientific. And on balance, the most free of governmental control. I fail to see how thats an advantage. Government control of people is required in some instances, becasue essentially people are idiots. Speak only for the company you keep Horseyman. Speaking on the basis of history. Too much government control-bad. Too little government control- just as bad. I t just irks you that they have control over their government when it comes to their personal rights & you dont. ;)
Yes it irks, are you smacking happy now you tard. Finally the truth .... it was never about guns from the get go, was it.
Pure Jealousy..........
Now, now, resorting to names Bojack?
.....Sticks & Stones.....Sticks & Stones!!!
