So? Is there an obligation for POTUS to stop arabs from killing arabs in the middle east?
No, but I've known people killed by guns -- recently a little boy, in an accident. It was totally unnecessary. Again, I can point to you many, many people that have been killed by guns. You can't point to even a respectable fraction of that number of people that have been saved by using an assault rifle. You can conjure shit up, because that's what your entire argument is based on, but no real numbers. I can point to thousands and thousands of people unnecessarily killed by guns. You can't do the same for people "saved" by guns.
I can give you a few instances of people close to me that have been protected by their guns.
1. Dated a girl in college. Her mom did IT work for a lot of small, rural banks. On night while driving in rural Oklahoma a truck came up tailgating her and basically tried to run her off the road. She kept trying to get away but couldn't. She reached into her console and pulled out her hand gun and simply held it out the window. The truck hit the brakes and she drive away.
2.
Elian Gonzales was saved by assault rifles.
Uh huh. I call bullshit. Unless you are talking about thousands and thousands of people killed by gang violence. In that case, the guns are not the problem. The people pulling the trigger in the name of the gang culture are the problem.
You own upwards of 30 guns according to you. Seems to me you're part of the problem. Unless you're lying...
I've used thread killing stats on you several times. That's when you normally didappear.
If you don't have any fear, why do you need more gun laws to protect you from something that isn't really a threat?
That would be a good start. Except replace "black people" with "gang bangers." And replace "Chicago" with "gang culture."
What percentage of gun homicides are attributed to gang violence versus what percentage of gun homicides are attributed to mass shooters?
Get a couple of wine coolers in pilt and watch out Jon Stewart! There's a new king of progressive satire in town!
1. I recently posted the painfully obvious statistics of Europe vs. U.S. They have been posted a dozen times through the years. and you grasp at straws. Someone even tried to explain it away by pointing out that burglary stats were higher in the UK, as I recall. Don't give me a statistic on one town, or one random area. Its like declaring one area of a swimming pool chlorine-free. I provide huge swaths of data. Don't come at me with piss-ant stuff from a ghetto.
The Europe vs. US gun and homicide stats are a conclusive game ender. That constitutes mountains of data, over a long time. Other than Canada. there are no countries closer to us culturally or politically than western europe.
2. Which of these are you against? http://www.ncsl.org/research/civil-and-criminal-justice/summary-president-obama-gun-proposals.aspx One day you're reeeeally for mental health stuff. Enforcement of pre-existing laws. Okay, so Obama enacts this stuff to enforce pre-existing laws and fund mental health and conduct background checks so less wackos have easy access. You bitched about his recent EO's in another thread, with the usual alarmism and drama. So you're for addressing mental health and enforcement of existing laws.... until someone tried to address mental health and enforce existing laws. Your artistic politics is entertaining, Multipoke.

You're not so much a "liar" as you lack the abstract thinking skills to identify a lie. When dealing with some adversaries, it's best to just let them think on their own.
He sure thought there was when it came to confronting the "genocide" in Libya. And he sure has a burr up his ass about Assad in Syria but hasn't had the balls to do anything useful about it.
Probably the first petroglyph reference in board history. Possibly Rivals history.
I understand English. What part of "A WELL REGULATED militia, being necessary to the security of a free state..." is so hard to understand??
I would restrict semi-auto guns, beef up background checks\licensure and probably allow strict liability for whoever gives a nut a gun that is used to kill people.
