The issue in the United States should not be the background of the shooters in these crimes, but how is it that these people are able to easily obtain weapons.

@chrisCA ... guns don't shoot by themselves

BohemianBabe · M

@BigGuy2 So you're saying we should restrict people based on their background?

BigGuy2 · 31-35, M

@BohemianBabe gun control ALREADY has background checks ... but even then, a NORMAL person who has bought a gun may flip the next day

chrisCA · M

@BigGuy2 That's right. So lets keep the guns away from those shooting them.

BohemianBabe · M

@BigGuy2 So you're arguing against people having guns in general?
Wow, you're way more liberal than me.

BigGuy2 · 31-35, M

@chrisCA if you can give me an assurance that criminals will abide by the same laws as everyday Jo, then you have an argument, but we both know that's not going to happen, as they're criminals because they don't abide by the Law in the 1st place

BigGuy2 · 31-35, M

@BohemianBabe ... Nope, never have said that, never will, as i'm saying what i said because i know it will not happen

@BigGuy2 Are criminals the real threat? How many gun deaths in the United States are caused by legally owned guns?

BigGuy2 · 31-35, M

@chrisCA good point ... but how many more if there weren't any ...

...i'll give you an example, i THINK it was 1968 in England - the Ruth Ellis hanging, caused for hanging to be stopped - after it was stopped crime rose 170%

So the cure for America's mass shooting problem is the death penalty?

BigGuy2 · 31-35, M

@BohemianBabe you are missing the point TOTALLY ... your kind of idiocy, is why i've really stopped talking to you ... FOOL

BohemianBabe · M

@BigGuy2 FOOL!!

BigGuy2 · 31-35, M

@BohemianBabe ... have you got the point yet 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ - if not, scurry back to the basement

BohemianBabe · M

@BigGuy2 Y U SO MAD, DOE?

BigGuy2 · 31-35, M

@BohemianBabe ... who's mad, 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

... you're an irritant, the same as a fly buzzing around the room is an irritant, you try to swat it a few times, but it keeps on buzzing back

BohemianBabe · M

@BigGuy2 U. U big mad, so sad.

@BigGuy2 there are some statistics showing that fifty percent of weapons used to commit crimes were stolen from their owners. I favor a law requiring all gun purchases to show proof they own ways to lock up and or disable their properly owned weapons. I would like to see mandatory education before purchasing one.

BigGuy2 · 31-35, M

@samueltyler2 that should be a given

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@BigGuy2 why do the gun-advocates fight against that?

BigGuy2 · 31-35, M

@samueltyler2 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ - it's not my strongest discussion point - gun control, so i don't want to expand on anything i don't know much about, sorry

Less than 10%. 90+% of all firearm homicides are committed by felons. They have at least one felony, but the average is four. It's illegal for a felon to be in possession of the firearm, therefore no matter how it was acquired, it's illegal. So yes, criminals with guns is by far, the bigger issue. And guess where that murderous activity occurs? America's inner cities...typically run by Democrats.
