    You're saying all the murderous thugs are illegal immigrants

    No I'm saying that most murderous thugs come from countries with high levels of murderous thugs in their culture.

    Which, of course, is a fact.

    When you bring in people from countries where the homicide rate is 80 per 100k, your murder rate is going to go up. Simple fact.

    Are you a FUDD?

    https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fudd
    Slang term for a "casual" gun owner; eg; a person who typically only owns guns for hunting or shotgun sports and does not truly believe in the true premise of the second amendment. These people also generally treat owners/users of so called "non sporting" firearms like handguns or semiautomatic rifles with unwarranted scorn or contempt.
    "See sonny, all those pistols in that cabinet... all thems is good for is killin people." -Example of ignorant comment from a fudd at a local gun shop.


    I guess in liberal land believing in the Constitution is a fetish.

    Why are murdering thugs acceptable here? Good question that perhaps one of the liberal apologists here will answer.

    Sure why not? Why not have the same hoops here? Why make it so easy here? There's really no good reason to make it so easy for a criminal or a disturbed person to get his hands on a firearm. Why would anyone argue against hoops that might save the lives of innocent children?

    So you don't condone murdering thugs but don't mind them owning firearms

    We already have background checks and classes of prohibited persons. For instance, any felon in possession of a gun, commits another felony. Do you think that criminals who already ignore gun laws will begin following any new laws? No, they only serve as further infringements.

    Around here anyone can walk into the local gun show and buy. Used to be a guy where I worked would bring in a list of guns he had for sale every month. What background checks??? They just want to sell. Don't care what your name is or where you're from.

    Easy note Japan has never had any large number of gun deaths and suicide, the overwhelming number of US gun deaths, in Japan is traditionally done with edged weapons not a gun.

    They must be dumb, it's illegal to provide a gun to a prohibited person, if they have.

    There will always be dumb people. Isn't that why we need so many laws in the first place? To protect us from dumb people?
    There's still plenty of dumb people in this country with a whole bunch of guns...and they've never been arrested. That doesn't make them any less dangerous.

    I'm far more concerned with idiots behind the wheel. They are a far greater danger.

    Another logical fallacy, i.e., a false dicotomy.

    Let me ask you a question:

    Why do you think 67% of all US violent crime is committed by 1% of the population, and is isolated to 5% of counties in states.

    No, dumb people procreating is the reason we have so many SJW's.

    As demonstrated by the Obamacare requirement to have parent insurance policies cover 26 year old children our society believes that many people 26 or younger are not functioning adults. At one time in our history, many 21 year old men had served in the military and were supporting a family. Now 26 year old people are supported by their parents. What I am trying to say is delayed adulthood is one reason for the SJWs. Another is the estrogen like compounds in our food and water.

    Your Dem party is all about treating society like it is comprised of dumb people. For example, look at the way Bloomberg protected NYC from 16 OZ sodas or look at the way the DC government has protected black people from sugary drinks. The Dem party thinks people are too dumb to decide what to eat or drink let alone own a gun.

    The liberals will tell you it is racism and the legacy of slavery. However, if one looks at crime demographics world-wide
    One could almost conclude the Dem push for gun control has nothing to do with crime.

    It’s a nasty brew of authoritarianism, lack of self awareness, elitism, and straight up projection. :)

    If it had anything to do with crime they wouldn't be making crime legal in CA and NYC.
