Enough with the fucking guns everywhere. IT'S NOT FUCKING WORKING.

[elehhhhna]

Call this experiment off already. Enough!!

[daleanime]

1. K&R.....

[madokie]

2. I agree with that

No guns in my house nor will there be.

[randys1]

3. There is no experiment, there is a 2nd amendment which CLEARLY requires ALL

guns to be regulated within militias, which could easily mean locked up in central locations where militia groups operate.

Thus since NOBODY will have a gun outside of a war, there are NO gun deaths, or very few.

Take years to get there, but we can do it.

[Romeo.lima333]

7. since we no longer have militias we no longer have a 2a "right"

it's only a scotus given right and if we change scotus we can change this non-existent "right"

[hack89]

10. The Democratic Party would disagree with you on that.

have you ever read the party platform on guns?

[karadax]

21. Allow me

Right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation

We recognize that the individual right to bear arms is an important part of the American tradition, and we will preserve Americans' Second Amendment right to own and use firearms. We believe that the right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation. We understand the terrible consequences of gun violence; it serves as a reminder that life is fragile, and our time here is limited and precious. We believe in an honest, open national conversation about firearms. We can focus on effective enforcement of existing laws, especially strengthening our background check system, and we can work together to enact commonsense improvements--like reinstating the assault weapons ban and closing the gun show loophole--so that guns do not fall into the hands of those irresponsible, law-breaking few.

As of 2012.

[WDIM]

4. How about enough of a culture that promotes violence

As a means to an end.

I mean look at our own Government. Got a problem some where in the world bomb them.

How can we have a populous that knows murder is wrong when our government does it daily?

[Mojorabbit]

22. Exactly but it isn't just here

In so many places worldwide people are suffering because of intolerance and violence. We need to evolve.

[elehhhhna]

24. Nobel peace prize winner can drone anyone anywhere. Progress?

[Taitertots]

5. We live in the most peaceful era in human history

Let's call off the hysterics.

[Dawgs]

6. Wow!

[elehhhhna]

8. yeah, screw the innocent dead church people.

Freedom!!!

[LanternWaste]

13. Both inaccurate and precious salt for the victim's wounds.

Both inaccurate and precious salt for the victim's wounds.

How about we let's call off your bumper-sticker allegations...

[EX500rider]

19. "Both inaccurate and precious salt for the victim's wounds..."

Certainly not inaccurate.

New data presented at the conference by a Dutch scholar, Pieter Spierenburg, showed that the homicide rate in Amsterdam, for example, dropped from 47 per 100,000 people in the mid-15th century to 1 to 1.5 per 100,000 in the early 19th century.
Professor Stone has estimated that the homicide rate in medieval England was on average 10 times that of 20th century England. A study of the university town of Oxford in the 1340's showed an extraordinarily high annual rate of about 110 per 100,000 people. Studies of London in the first half of the 14th century determined a homicide rate of 36 to 52 per 100,000 people per year.

26. Thank God they didn't have automatic and "semi-automatic" weapons back then.

Imagine how much worse it would have been.

Of course, once the NRA gets time traveled figure out, I'm sure they'll work on it. *Everyone deserves a big-ass gun to kill with! No matter when they were alive!"

[lunamagica]

9. K&R.

[hack89]

11. So repeal the 2A

after which you can repeal the state constitutions that support a right to keep and bear arms. Your path ahead is hard but clear.

[Logical]

29. Even a majority of dem congress people will not support this! Nt

[MisterP]

12. it's working moneywise! that's why we keep creating ISISes and that's why Wasserman-Schultz is still

chair (after all, if we punished failure we might succeed--and then what'd we do with ourselves?!)

[LanternWaste]

14. With less than 5% of the world's population, the United States is home to roughly 35–50

With less than 5% of the world's population, the United States is home to roughly 35–50 per cent of the world's civilian-owned guns, and some half-witted, sub-literate, under-educated idiot is going to rationalize this in such a way as to tell us we're safer due to this...

[WDIM]

28. Yet the rest of the world is a much more violent place.

Iraq, Syria, Isreal, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Ukraine, Nigeria, chad, somalia, Darfur, Pakistan, Mexico, Libya, Sudan, and the list can go on.

And in most all these countries the citizens cannot own guns. They are just defenseless to the mad men waging wars in these countries.

[aikoaiko]

15. FWIW, guns are not allowed in SC churches with or without a permit.

16. .

[TampaAnimusVortex]

17. Sorry - 3D printers say otherwise. You'r just going to have to accept it.

If anyone can push a button and make one, you might as well be trying to regulate how much air people get.

[LanternWaste]

18. Hence, the violence is working?

Hence, the violence is working (which is the direct corollary to the OP's premise-- unless you're simply attempting to change the subject)?

[villager]

27. A gun violence apologist!? *Attempt to change the subject!?*

Why I never....!

[Le Taz Hot]

20. People who fetishize

about guns, who hoard them, who are obsessed by them, IMO, are the LAST people who should be allowed to have them.

I swear this is a new phenomenon. I grew up around hunters, they never hoarded guns. Yes, they may have had different guns for different game but they didn't obsess about them. They stored them properly, UNLOADED, away from the reach of children.

Today, thanks largely in part to the NRA (the faithful servant of the MIC) and people too stupid to be trusted with sharp objects, much less a firearm are squarely to blame here. No, not everyone should have a gun. How many examples do we need?

Edited from: "they never hoarded buns" to "they never hoarded guns." Don't you just love a good typo? LOL!

[Skittles]

23. haven't you heard? GUN HUMPERS WON

their fear and paranoia trumps all, and we have to just DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES

the Home of the Brave caters to the whims of COWARDS

[hack89]

25. Incoherent rants in all caps certainly didn't do your side any good.

I understand you have an internet persona to maintain but have you ever considered rational, polite conversation as a method to persuade people that disagree with you?
