    As gun ownership rises, the crime rate drops...except in the demleft enclave urban areas...regardless of the strictness of the gun laws there.

    No, the people made the wrong choice. We have laws against murder.

    If someone CHOOSES to use a car as a weapon...it's the car's fault then? Or the car manufacturer's?

    Makes no sense it's like saying no flower distributors will now do business with you because you stopped selling Tulips but still sell virtually every other type of flower.

    Exactly. The car is doing just as it was designed to do...roll over stuff.

    Mossberg is the top domestic shotgun seller, without Dick's. Dick's pissed them off.

    Very likely , yes, for defense...and to hunt. Do you think a car was invented to kill? Has nothing to do with it's ability to do so...if the PERSON CHOOSES TO.

    Odd question that really doesn't make sense. No, it's neither's fault. That should be obvious.

    Actually, no it wasn't. Obviously, a car wasn't invented to kill. Do you think a gun is made to get you from one place to another? Do you see how ridiculous you question is. What is a gun for?

    Well then I wonder why it is you thought they made the right choice. Maybe I misunderstood your meaning.

    Yes, exposing the anti-gun gun-grabbing anti-2nd Amendment crowd is highlighting the problem.

    Too bad for you, the 2nd Amendment is an individual right just like ALL the other rights.

    How is passing a law that bans a firearm, going to keep it out the hands of criminals?

    But it's the gun's and/or the manufacturer's fault, when a criminal chooses to use a hunting/target shooting/personal protection tool to commit murder.

    You have reached what is called a "logical impasse".

    There would have been no bloodshed had the FBI done their jobs. Period. It had nothing to do with banning weapons.
