The ACLU is neutral on its 2nd amendment position.


LOL

Thanks for the laugh! You never fail Tom

I didn't say "the ACLU is neutral on its 2nd Amendment position". that is your statement, not mine.

Grandpas defending themselves and their homes have become a real problem in this country. What more can we do to get this gun problem under control and make the world safe for home invaders again?

You're so damn stupid. People been robbing houses since settler days. One feel good story is not going to change the fact we have an out of control gun problem.

And the fact that our gun control is the reason we have a gun problem isn't going to go away with more gun control.

Fact: In 2003, Canada had a violent crime rate more than double that of
the U.S. (963 vs. 475 per 100,000).

My guess on that one is that being able to watch Iraqis getting blown to bits pacified alot of your crazies and at the same time, made our's crazier ;)


Fact: The crime rate is 66% higher in four Canadian Prairie Provinces than in the
northern US states across the border.43

Name me the four Canadian Prairie Provinces.

How do you figure? Based on the statistics, only a minute percentage of guns are ever used in crimes. Just looking at the number of guns in this country vs the number of firearm related homicides you'll find that less then one-tenth of 1% of firearms are used to kill.

On the flip side, what percentage of black males are in prison? Statistically speaking, do we have a gun problem or a black problem?

I'm just talking statistics, so keep your racist comments to yourself.

Man you're really out there. You actually believe that I want to kill somebody, make someone a widow,deprive someone of their child, father etc? Hell I don't like you one bit and I wouldn't even want to smack you around let alone kill you.

As for me being a racist, let me share a pic of my nephew whom I love very much.

You said that this country has a gun problem. I say it doesn't and list the alternative. If your tiny brain can't wrap around the discussion I suggest you step out.

The conversation is just about guns. Not about just black people with guns. So wrap you head around this, go "bleep" yourself. Man I would give just about anything to meet you face to face, I swear.

He was right. Step out the conversation because now you are just making yourself look like a bigger fool.

Oh so the conversation is about black people with guns?

1.) Making outright threats (even implied threats) toward someone over the internet is lame. If you can't handle a debate/argument without feeling the need to make threats because someone said something you didn't like then you need to go to the kiddie forum and leave this debate for the adults to handle.

2.) Guns are objects which people can use for good (see OP's article) or evil (take a look at Chicago's crime rate and homicide rates amongst young black males vs that of other racial groups). Blaming a gun over the stupid choices people make in life is about as lame as someone making internet threats (see number 1 above for reference). Guns do not determine people's culture or societal values and they play no role in the stupid decision making processes of people who decide to commit a crime.

People are the ones who contribute and shape cultures and/or societies via conscious decisions (or lack thereof) which they make in their everyday lives. Gun related violence maybe be a epidemic problem in the black community but that is not specific to all communities of people in this nation who can handle the responsibility of exercising their 2nd Amendment right.

1. I didn't threaten anybody so try to jive up some real bs next time. And you know why I said that? Because I bet a million dollars all the bs this a-hole has said about blacks since I can remember, he wouldn't say it to no one's face. He might be the most racist motherfracker I have ever encountered on any forum board that isn't quote "a social site". I can think back to the late 90's reading his bs. You can blow him till your lips turn to gold, the guy is total out and out scum bag. Bobie back around 2000 I believe, on the old board, it might have been when we made the second switch, but anyway this no good son of bleep one day posted something to the effect it was okay to kill a black person first, before asking any questions. It was some kind of police thread. I don't give damn about him. I don't like him period. And I don't give a damn about you huddling up with him either.

2. As far as guns are concerned you took this one story to support the right to own guns and ran it out there like some blood stained banner. Now you want to make it about blacks. Where were you at last week when the "white" guy shot his black co-worker and dragged his body? Where is your comments on that story? Gun violence happens everywhere, in every neighborhood, and walk of life. Where are your comments when the white professor snapped and shot her co-workers? There was a time when you would "only read" stories such as this one from Chicago. Not anymore. Now because of the insane amount of gun violence everywhere, stories like this can be nothing but a footnote in the daily paper. And for you to huddle with Bobie and run out that the gun problem is solely with blacks is a joke. But why am I not surprised.

However what you are failing to realize is that if somehow we could remove all the handguns so that even the criminals couldn't get one, the number of crimes wouldn't change. The only thing that would change is the weapon of choice used by the criminals in the commission of their crimes. Guns don't commit crimes, people commit crimes. Criminals don't stop being criminals because you take away their favorite tool. They just find a new tool to replace it.
Handguns kill people like spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat.

That is a threat.

Great emotionally laced post but you didn't really provide any convincing arguments. In fact I could counter this by easily highlighting that all those incidents were caused and created by people deranged people who just so happened to use a gun in the act of their crime.

Anyone who wants to commit an act of violence does not need a gun. A couple hundred pounds of fertilizer and some improvised explosives all stuffed in a van can cause just as much damage. Just like a determine guy with a very big knife can also go on a similar rampage and kill quite a few people. Blaming inmate objects for the violent actions committed by a person is a complete cop out.

LOL. Call it a threat then I don't care. Point blank, he wouldn't say 1/100th of garbage he has spouted over years to any black persons face, including mine.

Oh so now its deranged people? 15 mins ago it was black people, was it not? So only deranged white people kill? I guess you're implying blacks are completely rational, lol, when they shoot somebody. Now that is a pickle.

So are you going to blame the internet, your computer or those meanie posters for your lack of control and how you deal with other people's points of views which you do not agree with in life?

Oh so now its deranged people? 15 mins ago it was black people, was it not?

I went off your list of incidents you vainly put up to use but in the end the point stands. Be it a deranged person or someone with criminal intent anyone who wants to commit violence will do so in the end. Obviously your anti-gun views are not preventing you from making threats over the internet are they?

The epidemic of violence and other criminal acts has very little to do with guns when the issue is examined more deeply and things such as cultural and social values along with other statical trends are put into the mix. Of course since you didn't get that original point that Bobberfett was trying to make I doubt you'll grasp the same point when I make it as well.

You are a like child grasping at straws. I think it's time for your bedtime.

We have an out of control crime problem, that's why law abiding home owners need to have access to legal guns.

Everyone should go buy a crossbow or a speargun. That way they can ban even the kitchen utensils. No butter knives or baseball bats for you. Just have visions of the movie "every which way but loose", when granny comes outside with her shotgun and blow up everyone's motorcycle. Ya gotta love the image of old people with guns.

Every household should have at least one gun. The more criminals we can kill, the better.
