    No one said a word about being scared to death, being prepared is more appropriate. Many of those guns are for hunting or plinking, and no one is making 170 million Americans into felons overnight.

    I say that because people here seem to think you can just wish away anything that they don't like even if they don't live in that country.

    Oh it's not an opinion.

    The leftist desire to release criminals from prisons is well documented.

    That's why 53% of murder is committed by people with a prior felony conviction.

    This is why 67% of murders is committed by those with prior criminal convictions and 73% of those in other violent crimes have long arrest/conviction records.

    Clearly, the prison sentences for violent criminals is insufficient.

    WOW, can you extrapolate WHO is getting shot or will that just trash your premise even further? We all know the answer.

    I'll take your word for that and the problem in the US is clear and well-known, although maybe not as detailed as you've just stated. But I don't think we are discussing "what is" but what can be done.
    Apparently, yes.
    No, that's not true. The situation you describe is not the remedy of "adults" but of primitive man: uncivilized man. You see, that is why "what can be done" is more important. The US is going backwards and who knows when it will stop that reverse direction?

    If you think your gun is protecting you from someone, you are scared to death. It is a terrible way to go through life.

    We still have our rights, that's called going forward and not bending at the knee to make sure the world knows you're a servant to the gov. We're citizens with rights, being trusted to take care of yourself IS civilized. More so than needing a nanny state to wipe for you.

    I knew. I wish the US could have laws similar to the UK. I don't need a gun for anything.

    Uh, did I say this? "Meanwhile in the US there are hundreds of shootings per day, so much for your guns make you safer" no, YOU did. SO, who in the US is getting shot again?

    a gun helped the US become a free nation. guns protect the lives of police and civilians alike. A gun DOES protect you, just because you have not needed one doesn't mean you speak for everyone now does it?

    That's a very good point. Actually, four very good points.

    Hi again, vman12.

    How do you explain the data I presented? The United States of America has more gun deaths per capita than other modern democratic nations. The United States has a greater percent of its population incarcerated than almost any other nation in the world.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    LOL What difference does it make who is getting shot. Are they less shot depending on who they are?

    Congrats, YOU are not everyone. Pretending that you speak for every person in ever part of the US is very silly. You do not know what everyone else faces on a daily basis.

    I love how people who don't even live here somehow magically know things they don't know.

    Yes, criminals shooting other criminals is not something many of us care about, adding them to statistics is stupid. It's as stupid as adding suicides. We know why simpletons try and use emotional arguments to make points, we simply ask the right questions in search of answers.

    I'm stunned that people who do not live here think they know how life is, it's arrogant and silly.

    Sure, just like I can explain why you're using "gun deaths" instead of homicides.

    Your rhetoric would like to exclude anyone killed with anything besides a firearm, and you'd like to throw in suicides, which we both know are not higher than any other nation in the world.

    It's why your rhetoric only includes a few countries in comparison to the rest of the world. Most of which don't have access to guns like we do, yet have much higher homicide rates.

    When compared to the rest of the world and gun ownership per 100k, the truth becomes obvious.

    As for how many people are in prison, if they're guilty of violent crime, and you still have a lot of violent criminals out running around committing murders, then your prison population is too small.

    I'm all for the death penalty for repeat violent offenders. How about you?

    Yes, but NO. Rights, laws, etc are relevant. Your Constitution is also relevant by way of amendments and repeals, that is to say, it's a good system as long as it is utilized in the proper way. Do you understand what I am saying?
    This is a serious subject, can't you at least treat it seriously?
    What do you think laws are? What do you think they are made for?
    You people are ha-ha funny. It's just one contraction after another.

    Old grannies for their wigs. Granny wigs are all the rage in the gang community in the UK.

    I understand that we have 2A rights in this country and we're not dumb enough to hand our safety off to a gov that hasn't earned trust. I'm being very serious, and the world has seen what happens when you give your protection away. People in the UK getting arrested for FB posts, people in Australia being arrested for not wearing mask on your front lawn, what a joke of a gov.

    Anyway, none of this matters as guns are going nowhere and we're happy being free.

    LOL You are calling Ddyad a silly arrogant simpleton. Bit harsh of you!

    Meanwhile your guns are clearly making you paranoid that everyone is out to harm you yet at the same time you say that the shootings are criminals shooting other criminals. Are you a criminal? Try and keep your story straight

    I know that most people who think their gun is protecting them are full of crap.

    Disorganized crime is the always the greatest threat, and violent crime including gun crime has soared since the bans were imposed.

    THE GUARDIAN, Rise in recorded crime is accelerating in England and Wales, Police figures show offences up 14% in a year, with knife and gun crime rising even more steeply, Alan Travis Home affairs editor, Thu 25 Jan 2018.
