I Think That When Guns Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Gun

2015, 13,200 people were killed by guns in the usa. In britain during the same period 15 deaths by gunfire. The USA has approximately 6 times the population of the UK.If we multiply the British figures by 6 we arrive at a figure of 90 British deaths as oppised to 13200 for the USA. The UK has strict and serious gun control, I suggest you all ponder these figures. It is not only the easy availability of guns which causes the damage, it is thev
American attitude to guns.

Then you should keep your leftist ass the hell out of America ! Guns in the US will never be outlawed, banned, or confiscated . Our second amendment to the constitution exists solely because of the Tyranny exhibited by the Brits so long ago . Instead of lamenting our freedoms you might ponder why you are so ready to surrender yours . Five times More people die in the US due to medical malpractice ... should we eliminate all Doctors ? 3 times as many people die in this county in car wrecks ... should we now eliminate everyone's right to drive ? More people die from stabbing a than gunfire in this country ... should we all go on a soft diet ? And we won't mention England's Islamic terrorist attack a week habit , or London's Muslim mayor saying that's just life in the big city . We don't have Muslims controlling our streets or out government ... that's your deal . So Enjoy your lack of freedoms , and I'll enjoy my right to keep and bear arms

@Northwest: she doesnt seem to have the capacity to talk to people so she gets frustrated and calls people the same names repeatedly.

@Flenflyys: When you don't have an argument to make, attack and go for sophomoric name calling, and then declare yourself the winner of an argument, with support from the SW mental lightweights.

The fallacy of your argument/case is that you aren't using the same matrix between the two countries... Subtract suicides from the US's rate and the US is beneath what the UK experiences.. They do the same with birthrates and longevity... Here in the states, if a child is even delivered from the womb.. it's a birth.. other countries demand minutes and in some cultures, it's not a birth till they reach the age of 2 years! But.. I'll tell ya what... you can keep your culture... and we'll keep ours... When we have a Manchester type event, I'll be ready to respond with a Ruger Blackhawk .41 cal that I carry without need for "permission". Our "Manchester" will be 1/10th of what you and your helpless citizens experience. Continue on your way, and you'll see only the hapless and terrorist visiting.. No sane thinking tourist will find their ways to your shores. Yea. I know the response... so save it..
Footnote...Why does the UK exclude suicides by those under 15 y/o?

Our President tried to get some political traction out of the terrorist attack in London, by drawing attention to the use of knives. The next day, we had a mass murder in the US, nearly the same number of victims, using guns, more the following day, and so forth and so on.

I wish that guy would stop using Twitter, it's really embarrassing to the office of the Presidency, more so than Bill Clinton's dalliance with an intern.

Yes, we do have an embarrassing gun culture. Shooting is not a sport. Guns killed nearly 1,300 in the US last year.

@sunrisehawk: Hmm, not really, but I'm not surprised you don't get it.

Let me repeat one more time: we have an embarrassing gun culture that causes tens of thousands of deaths every year. That's a fact, not a lefty issue and not a right issue.

You want to separate it into 'good deaths' and "criminal deaths', and throw gun control and the second amendment into it.

That's what the President did, and you still don't get it.

@Northwest: Yes I do get it. You don't particularly care for our President, and you don't care for the second amendment. And that is your right to do so.

@sunrisehawk: [quote]Yes I do get it. [/quote]

No, you still don't see the full picture.

[quote]You don't particularly care for our President[/quote]

No I don't, and it has nothing to do with our embarrassing gun culture.

[quote]you don't care for the second amendment[/quote]

I did not say anything about the second amendment. YOU DID, and you're still, in a typical knee jerk reaction, trying to make it about the second amendment.

There is no need to concern yourself with a carrier task "firce" off your shores... You've put out the welcome mat for them... I had such fond hopes of visiting Merry Olde England but no way would I surrender my god-given right to defend myself and my family... I carry because a cop is too heavy and my bullet covers 1400 ft.. per sec... or about 425 meters per second... a cop.. maybe 1/2 foot!

But enough of this wasteful exchange... you'll continue to delude yourself.. and I'll continue to be safe.

Now compare knife attacks per capita in the US and UK.

If people want to commit violence, they will. Doesn't matter how many things you ban. And, in the US, we have a right to guns. Approval isn't necessary.

@dunpender: my guess is you haven't a clue what the actual U.K. numbers are . Last year you had over 1000 homicides, violent crime and rapes are up 37% ! Dayum Brit ... that's not good

Yea the states definitely had a gun culture that im not so convinced banning guns will fix.
TexChik · F
@Flenflyys: banning guns will never happen in the US
Flenflyys · 31-35, F
Ok
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
