    The deal is, the bad guys will get guns whether they are legal or not. I'm sure you would sleep better knowing you at least have a chance.

    That's because you watch too much TV and you think of gunshot wound means death people like you should not be consulted on such things.

    A knife blade to going into your chest will absolutely kill you. People survived gunshot wounds all the time it isn't television or the movies

    supporting the first amendment is not absurd that is liberal it is a liberal to suggest religious freedom shouldn't exist.


    so one thing he is socially conservative on. Wow he's like Adolf Hitler.
    spending military is always good it's what keeps the world safe you're welcome. The EPA is and authoritarian figure that does not answer to the people so it should be cut that is liberal.

    And I thought climate change wasn't the left right thing so having a stance on that wouldn't really expose you is left or right.

    Avast bloated dictatorial government is illiberal
    having a trustworthy media is liberal
    this is caused by things other than the president.

    So you either don't know what liberal means and a mistakenly just think left equals liberal or you attribute things to the president of which are not the fault of the president[/QUOTE]

    His fight to strip consumer protection is bad enough on it's own. He is far from liberal or progressive ideology. All his principles (if he still has any) are based on the same tired conservative ideas dragging us into the past instead of moving into the future.

    Read for comprehension. Words matter. The OP is talking about rifles, not guns. Also, why are you using old data? 2016 data is available.

    https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/topic-pages/expanded-offense

    Anyway, per the UCR in 2016:
    There were 15070 murders
    11004 by all guns
    7105 by handguns
    374 by rifles (and that data included the Orlando nightclub shooting)
    262 by shotguns
    186 by other guns
    3077 not specified guns
    1604 knives
    472 blunt instruments/clubs
    656 personal weapons (hands, feet. etc.)

    Instead of trying to be a know-it-all why don't you pay closer attention to your lack of punctuation? Your smarmy reply would mean more if it wasn't so poorly written.

    Facts don't seem to matter to liberals. The fact is that assault rifles are used in far fewer murders than are knives. It's from FBI stats, and is incontrovertible. Please read the below.

    show me where Donald Trump suggested religious freedom shouldn't exist.



    progressivism is far from liberal. What is he trying to fight to strip consumer protection from?

    which principles which conservative ideas you're just stating platitudes you're saying nothing.

    All you know is the Hillary was against him and Hillary was smart person and that is all that bro cuz I don't know what liberal means and uh uh.

    That's stupidity. That's exactly what I was saying you are a contrarian. Nothing more.

    Guns are also used for hunting, for target shooting, for self defense against animals and people. Guns have a variety of uses. Just because you are ignorant of them doesn't make those uses less so.

    Also, there are times when people need to be killed. That's why almost every American police officer has at least one gun on them while on duty.

    But you are wrong.

    Guns are used for many things other than killing "people".
    • Hunting
    • Skeet shooting
    • Target practicing
    • Collecting
    • etc.

    instead of whining about punctuation why don't you make an argument.

    Only people who don't know anything tell people who knows something that they're being a know-it-all knowing more than you is not knowing everything.

    thank you for the English lesson I don't care and if it bothers you to read it to put me on ignore.

    Tossup. If I survive the first ten minutes, gun shot is going to be less fatal. The gun is more likely to kill me outright. The knife is more likely to kill me a week later.

    They are snowflakes.

    It you don't count mass shootings by Islamist jihadist or the mass shooting in Las Vegas all of the other mass shootings were committed by the snowflake generation who have been indoctrinated in political correctness.

    The article never denied the above. It was merely about the comparison between assault rifles and knives. Read the OP for comprehension. The OP started with a statement about total gun murders. There was no denial or dishonesty, except by gun control posters trying to get the argument back to all guns, when the OP was just talking assault rifles.

    Read it? Bahahaaahaaahaaa!

    No, you are feverishly trying to be a smartass to anyone you see as "liberal" or "left" on this thread. I can tell you plenty about guns AND I can do it without tossing out childish insults. Your main goal has been to attempt to make yourself, and your fellow pubs, appear more knowledgeable about guns. Making derogatory statements about how much "smarter" you pubs are than libs with incoherent sentences only backfires on you.

    You didn't explain what made him far-right. You're sputtering out sentence fragments and acting like they controlled little Android. F*** Alex Jones and Sean Hannity why would you worship at their altar.

    You probably think I'm a trump supporter you probably think everyone that doesn't agree an absolute monarch step with you is it Trump supporter because your programs to you don't think for yourself do yourself a favor don't respond with your scripted claptrap go home after reading this sit and think about it. Are you saying things because that's what people have told you to think or are you thinking for yourself.

    Well I point to the Las Vegas shooting how many people were shot and survived is it almost exponentially more than who are killed and that dude was shooting ducks in a barrel.

    America went through a couple of centuries, almost, until it's very first random mass shooting by Charles Whitman in Austin, Texas.
    There were just as many guns in America then, per capita, as now.

    So perhaps guns, kept out of the hands of dangerous people, are not the real problem here.
    The mass hysteria, nurtured and promoted by the left, is just repugnant and grotesque.

    Yet on social media people are still commenting on how more republicans need to be shot. It's just sick the way death is used as a
    political tool by the left.

    Hands are responsible for more deaths, injuries, assorted destruction and sundry naughtiness than any other weapon in history.

    I realize that you are probably a law-abiding citizen who has never used a hand to commit a crime, but I'm afraid you're going to have to cut them off and surrender them to the government where they can no longer pose a threat to you or anyone else.

    I also realize that the Constitution gives you a right to bear arms but it doesn't say anything about hands so you'll just have to do without.

    Sorry. Too bad.

    So - because more people are killed by knives than by long guns, nothing should be done about deaths by long guns?
    Because if that is your reasoning, it is pretty safe to say that even fewer people are killed by Islamic terrorists than by knives. So no reason to do anything about that?
