67% of Americans want to ban assault weapons

You'd like the knife crime then, and the number of deaths, etc, where firearms were involved has actually risen since the knee-jerk populist reaction which saw firearms, effectively, banned.

But don't let that stop you when the point was VERY clear, make sure that those who are unhinged don't get the chance to go crazy with firearms in the first case, then they won't get all unhinged with such a lethal weapon in their hands.
laws against knives are more restrictive than guns in the US.

So, tell me, what kind of knife skills would it take to kill 17 students in a high school?

How does that compare to the skills that kid needed to do the same with the rifle?


Man yours is such a dumb argument I'm embarrassed to even reply.

Australia and Canada. Look at them on the chart. Then look at the US and how much better they are. OK?

Knives compared to high powered rapid fire rifles. That's what you have? :lol:

I like Alaskans just fine. I married one. Smart, sweet and she chose me. Not all people from Alaska are dumb and unlovable.
No, but many are dumb and unlovable. :lol:

We are at our core a Libertarian state, but Alaska attracts every walk of life of independent thinkers, a good portion of whom are complete criminals. Throw some 7 months of winter, darkness, economic hardship, substance abuse, isolation, high male to female ratio and you have the underbelly of Alaska.
We're not like the rest of America. Take it for what it is, we don't really give a damn what people think about us, because most lower 48'rs are a bunch of snowflakes, each one is unique, and trust me, we know our snowflakes. (:

I'll quote myself here in case you couldn't get past the libertarian part of my post.

"Killers could use anything, the tool doesn't matter. Knives/bombs/cars are just as dangerous as guns."

I'd say belligerent independence describes Alaskans better than libertarian. There is a generosity in Alaska that's not found in many places either. Libertarians are all about money. Yuck.

Nobody leaves an Alaskan home hungry either.

Edit: Or sober

Sheesh

I'm not going to continue to argue with somebody who makes me pull up the very words they said just moments before. As I said earlier, your comparing gun control laws to drug laws is dumb.



The arguments you make are exactly those Republicans and the NRA make. I have no idea why you deny it but you are defending Republicans and the NRA. Sorry you don't like me to make an accurate comparison but there you have it snowflake. As with your stupid denial of comparing ant-MJ laws with gun laws, I can find exact comparisons between what you said and what Republican leaders or the NRA have said. Again, sorry you don't like an accurate comparison but there you have it snowflake.

NRA-backed Marco Rubio says gun control laws alone won’t prevent mass shootings
WASHINGTON


As Democrats called Thursday for restricting access to weapons after the worst high school shooting in American history, two South Florida Republicans, Sen. Marco Rubio, who received millions of dollars in political help from the National Rifle Association, and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, the single largest recipient of direct NRA campaign cash among Floridians in the House of Representatives since 1998, said gun control legislation won’t stop mass shootings.

Rubio’s voice trembled with emotion during a 30-minute interview with the Miami Herald in which he argued that legislation to limit access to semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 or laws to make it tougher to purchase firearms legally wouldn’t have prevented the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

This Shooting Isn’t About Gun Control We Refuse To Pass, It’s About Access To Mental Health Care We’re Continuing To Gut

As our nation struggles to come to grips with the horrible tragedy in Las Vegas, it’s only natural for people to search for an explanation of how an atrocity like this could have happened and to call on their elected officials to take measures to prevent such terrible bloodshed from occurring again in the future. Unfortunately, however, we’ve seen enough of these incidents to know that some people will rush to blame firearms for this carnage and will demand that Congress enact sweeping gun restrictions, engaging in misguided efforts that completely miss the underlying reasons behind the violence we’re seeing.

The simple truth is, mass shootings like this aren’t about gun control we refuse to pass. They’re about access to mental health care that we will continue to gut.

You can already hear the calls from the left. In the aftermath of this mass murder, millions of people are once again pushing for an assault weapons ban that I won’t allow lawmakers to give even a moment of consideration, let alone bring to a vote. If these folks actually examined the realities of the issue, they would see that the real culprit in these incidents is, and always has been, our country’s inadequate mental healthcare system that leaves troubled, potentially violent individuals without the support they need, and which my colleagues and I have spent most of our careers seeking, often successfully, to defund.

Wow. My comment about weed was to show how even smoking weed is more important to Americans than the laws about it. Guns are way higher priority to their owners. Not what you said.

And the rest. You are just wrong. You deduce what you want but I don’t know all those statements you copy so if I said something similar it is my logic not theirs that drives it.


This is why there is no point in getting involved in any discussions with you guys. This is all you do. Mis-direct and re-apply your own crybaby everyone is responsible except the person in question attitude.

My not agreeing with you fanatics does not remotely imply I agree with something else. It just says I don’t agree with you.

Shame that is the only tactic used here. You might as well just give up your cause. No one will like any of you enough to see any of the reasonable solutions you do post.

And you defend buck every time I post to him.

Are you Buck?, Heil Tweetler?, a drunken schizophrenic?

I think I was the one comparing marijuana laws....or I think I did in some way and I believe it means something in the words of prohibition.

I mean come on we grew stinky bud under their noses for years and never got caught right? Prohibited and illegal, but still it's what we thought was right.

Not a great comparison because gun deaths are a bad thing but when talking about just assault weapons in general, in my hands they are safe and make me happy much like mj.

I made the comparison too. But like you said I realize guns are way higher up in priority to their owners.

But yeah. Don’t know why I get involved in arguing with these guys. Specially when I think a few of them are the same member. Just different levels of alcohol involved.

by you just now



read the title of this thread you bag of garbage

Statistics are only accurate to the cross section poled.

I don’t use them except as a point of research.

You are a fake news propogator and a loud republican supporter. Turn some more people off to agreeing with you. You make me wish I didn’t agree with you at all.

You don’t really know that much or have many useful things to say. It is obvious you are a pussy and a mommas boy. Some of your socks are more pleasant but still sound just like you.

But I think that is because your level of drunkenness is shown here by which character you are.
