    This case could serve as an elementary illustration of why having so many guns around is so problematic and should be disallowed. People regularly commit very deadly crimes using guns out of emotional impetus. Basically, having a gun around when a bad situation develops potentially makes it much worse than it would have been otherwise, leading to lost and shattered lives.

    It is so obvious that it makes you wonder why anyone would stoop to argue against its' validity.

    You're 100% right and it was irresponsible to give him access to one. What does that have to do with my rights?

    all you really have against conservatives is that their opinion is different from yours

    Ditto dude. ditto.
    And I'm not against conservatives. I'm against one side is always good and 1 side is always bad fake BS.

    Partisans, almost by definition, are lying hypocrites when the posit such foolishness.

    And don't give me conservative BS when one is a tRUMP supporter. Who increases spending while decreasing revenue.
    That is the opposite of conservative.

    American Marxists controlled SCOTUS in 1869. OMG. You Trumpites are coming unhinged.
    This may come as a shock to your system, but I'm not about to read 855 pages of your book to deal with a issue I already know how was resolved. The CSA never existed. It was always treason.

    What's amazing to me is the Suth'n Fried rightwingers who talk about "liberal traitors" and then turn around and talk like the CSA weren't bad guys. Rank hypocrisy.

    Woulda, coulda, shoulda... the South cried before they were hit. Nothing had been done to them when they seceded. In fact, if slaves were just property, they could have been freed by giving their owners fair market value. The Declaration of Independence outlines a number of legitimate grievances.

    The 1869 SCOTUS decision was grounded in stopping Texas from stiffing credtors who lent them money before secession.

    Bobby Lee, Stonewall, Jeff Davis, et al betrayed their country. Period.

    That wouldn't address the problem. It would bury it because guns aren't the problem. People, or how they are raised, are the problem.

    No. The subject is how children are raised.

    LOL. I should've figured you don't understand much.
    I am not a partisan hack. In fact, not to long ago you called me a fence sitter because I don't cowtow to either hypocritical lying party.
    You must not have much of a memory.
    But you didn't address you calling yourself conservative while supporting the free spending tRUMP. Talk about hypocrite.
    Unless you are not a conservative at all, which is what I suspect since you really are a R supporter. And a tRUMPette.

    Is it accepted practice for people in social services to determine the particulars of a case without information of any kind to support their views?

    Also, gun ownership increases the risk of a household suffering the tragedy of gun violence.

    That's what's at play here regardless of any other POSSIBLE, purely HYPOTHETICAL factors.

    Actually, gun ownership significantly increases the risk of a household suffering the tragedy of gun violence.
