Gun control debate (merged)

[NurseGoodVol]

And they've held rallies down herefor tge teens being "murdered". People on social media have literally defended them over tge homeowner. That's what the left wants, criminals who can have free range to do whatever without the threat of being stopped.

We ask the one question "what were they doing immediately before they got shot" if the answer is committing several felonies against the homeowner and his domicile then they deserved to get shot..

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Too many guns , “animals/ bad hombres “ willing to shoot you . I guess if he wanted to experience Mexico without crossing the border he could spend some time in south Texas first .

Oh no, pass Texas right to tia juana!!

Now they want to ban the sale of pointed kitchen knives in the UK to reduce knife crime. Brutal mockery follows.
Next, banning pointed sticks'



Crime experts, politicians, and religious leaders are calling on the U.K. government to ban the sale of pointed kitchen knives, KentOnline reported, to stem the tide of knife crime there, which has risen 80 percent since 2014.

Britain's first stab-proof kitchen knife launced in bid to combat knife crime

The company says the knives, ranging from 3.5 inches to 8 inches, will not even puncture a balloon with a stabbing motion.

Rayware says rising reports of knife crime and changes in the law gave its product developers the idea to try and produce prototypes that could be sold safely in shops.

Knife-related crime incidents are at a record high and there have been reported 285 fatalities in the last 12 months alone.

The Government has reclassified kitchen knives as an offensive weapon within the Offensive Weapons Act 2019, leading some retailers including Asda and Tesco to remove single knives from sale in retail stores.

Kate O’Neill, Head of Product and Marketing at Rayware, said the plans had come from the "drip drip" effect of constant bleak headlines about rising knife crime.

She said the prototype was created at its site in Speke, Liverpool, using a 3D printer, and extensive testing has taken place, adding: "It is not possible to pierce the skin with a stabbing motion, it's impossible."

It follows calls by the Church of England, top trauma doctors, psychiatrists, police and victims for a ban on the sale of pointed kitchen knives. Research suggests as many as 94 per cent of the sharp instruments used in homicides are kitchen knives.

In a letter to ministers, they say re-designing domestic knives to give them rounded ends would combat knife crime by making “life-threatening” injuries “far less likely.”

They say sharp knife points were only used historically to pick up food because forks had not been invented and it was a time when they could be carried openly.

Sharp points remain only as an anachronistic hangover from 18th century Britain during which forks became commonplace.

Smh nobody can be that stupid , can they ? That has to be a joke right ?
Edit : NM I should have read the comments first lol

 

[tennvols77]

But why do you get to decide what is a threat when that puts me and my family at risk as well? If it is on your property, then fine, blow the person away if you feel it is warranted, but when you put other innocent people at risk then I have a huge issue with it. I do not want you or any other person in the public deciding whether my children live or die. That is not your call to make.

Reality is everyday your children are at risk to someone, or anyone, who decides to harm them. You do not get a say in that either.

This why "do you get to decide" and "not your call to make" is so far from reality that it's hard to try and tell you that.....that is life......things, people, events, situations, all types of things that you have no choice in, control over, that can and will make impacts on your life.

You can control only what you can control, which is to listen to that deep seeded DNA with self preservation in it and prepare, train, work and learn for yourself the best ways to protect yourself, and your family.

Beto Goes to Kent State, Argues Only the Government Can Be Trusted With Guns

Guess that moron is going to ride that horse right into the end of his political career. Perhaps after all this he will have to get a real job.

Nah. He'll write a book, go on all the talk shows and all the other morons in this country will pay for his lavish life style.

We are so stupid.

 

[82_VOL_83]

I have actually studied this in-depth and have a political science degree from UTK, so I am not just regurgitating something I saw on TV, although I know that would fit your narrative better. I also didn't say that there weren't some Dems who are biased or racist as well. However, in my opinion and experience, it would be a pretty hard argument to make to say that Republicans are more tolerant than Democrats.

Oh God, your are more full of **** than a dairy farm! When did you crawl out of the primordial soup?

Beto Goes to Kent State, Argues Only the Government Can Be Trusted With Guns

I just want to know which one of his brilliant handlers picked Kent State and thought ... that’s a perfect place to talk about trusting the government with guns . In all fairness I don’t think many young people even bother with American history anymore .

Not only is there a marker , there’s a visitors center dedicated to it and a walking tour . Beto would probably had to have walked by them .

Site of the Kent State Massacre, Kent, Ohio
Today boys and girls we are learning what the word OBTUSE means , brought to us by Beto

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Still, tone deaf to make that speech there.

Not that I'm surprised by anything he, or any extreme left-winger does or says anymore.

He drilled a huge hole in his own boat with that stance. Self-correcting problem from a political viewpoint.

See you in 2024, chuckles...

Yes there is a memorial. My father in lives down the street when he was a kid and heard he shots. He still has the newspaper from this tragedy.
