Gun control debate (merged)

It would be one thing if it was simply using common terms to get information across. But once they start using that loaded phrasing, relying on ignorance to carry the belief forward, to push agendas it becomes an issue.

It always cracks me up seeing small town police chiefs with two stars on their collar like it means something.

Literally 36 officers in the department according to the website.

Does Space Force have a general yet? I think the last time I checked it was a major or colonel over their 300 or so.

Space Force is around 9000 members now.

That'll give the aliens something to think about.

There are no Space Force bases on the border...

MAGA, b*tches! Let's get some more guns up in this house, because mo guns = mo safe.

Lol I'm sure the massive lockdown that lead to increased suicides had nothing to do with this. All those evil MAGA people wanting to lockdown the country and shooting each other in their big MAGA led cities.

Looks like this statistical fact that suicide outranks homicides forgot one important stat. How many of those homicides are from self defense?

Gun deaths…by that we mean homicides and suicides. White people own the most guns. Asians commit the most suicides. Blacks commit the most homicides.

Odd…it’s almost as if the two things (gun deaths and ownership) are in no way correlated.

Or is a negative correlation.

I don't understand how people can put up with crap like that.

So what your saying is, by the numbers, if we banned blacks from owning firearms, we'd significantly reduce gun deaths by homicide?

No. Black men are still charged more than white men with illegal possession. Despite that, they still have much higher homicide rates. Gun controls does not work

It was sarcasm.

It’s easy to say “ban all guns” or “we need more mental health services.” I’m not sure what the answer is, but this is tiring.

What conclusion would you draw from those numbers?

**UPDATE** missed the sarcasm in your post.

The solution is to arm more people so that when they have a mental health crisis they are ready to go.

The solution is to stop infringing on people’s 2a rights because you are afraid “ something might happen one day “ . If you want a more mentally stable population then work on those safety net programs .

It would be easier to stop creating "mental health" crises.

It would be interesting to look at the gun death stats by states with liberal gun laws vs. strict gun laws. I know in the deep south heaven help the guy, mentally unstable or otherwise, that walks into a Lowes, Walmart, Mall, or theater with bad intentions. Everyone and their mom carries around here, including me.

And many of these fools know it. Lots of folks carry in church now too.
