There are big cities "drowning in crime" and many less big cities where crime is too high. NYC is a model of what a city should be. We need national gun law policy so that ALL cities could enjoy a lower crime rate.

Those stats dont breakdown by gun or other instrument. On balance, NYC is SAFER than LA which is what I claimed. Murder and rape are way more serious than aggravated assault so one occurrence of murder is not equivalent to one occurrence of aggravated assault. In violent crimes only category LA...

Man, your quantitative skills are weak. Let's compare LA to NYC LA has marginally less "violent crime" 559 vs 581 but has more murders, and man slaughters, twice as many rapes, more robberies, less aggravated assaults, more burglaries, car thefts, property thefts, etc. When a city has more...

NYC is special because while it is the biggest city by population it does not lead any single crime category(per capita of course). When compare NYC to cities in states where gun laws are quite lax you start to see things that open your mind. NYC is safer than Miami or Jacksonville, or...

Because he is arguing things that are blatantly obvious. You compare NYPD to LAPD and it is not even funny. NYPD is way more effective. In another thread he is trying to prove that LA is safer than NYC which it is not. You compare across all statistics and NYC is doing very well, much better...

Adjust that table by population and you would be amazed. You are not very bright are you?

Obama only lost one swing state. That is a landslide in electoral college. If compare it to W where he "won" by one state Florida, and then 2004 in Ohio that is a soul crushing defeat for the other party.

"You people" lost a federal election recently and got your clocks cleaned. I expect a dose of humility from that.

Sarcasm is lost on you. I was ridiculing the wild west culture. It is inconceivable that in 2012 we could all be walking with guns in plain sight. NRA has the audacity to push for OPEN Carry in a state like Florida (and everywhere else too) Conceal carry is an abomination, open carry is just...

You are a classical case. Your possession of a gun does not just affect you, it affects everyone around you. I don't like going to my local publix knowing that EVERY single moron there could have a gun. Every time someone cuts ME off on a road, I always understand that if they pulled a gun out...

That is right, why don't we all carry guns in public and turn our lives into a bad Clint Eastwood movie? I can imagine saying "go ahead, make my day" several times a day for no reason at all. Wild West is not looked upon fondly for a reason. The more guns you have, the more chance there is of...

There are two groups of people loose constructionists and strict constructionists. One group wants to unquestionably and in perpetuity chain themselves to a document written more than 200 years ago before just about any invention of significance. The other group thinks of the Constitution as a...

Switzerland is a gem with an extremely high standard of living. Even there gun control is different than in the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Switzerland...

umadbro? Your possession of a gun affects not only you but EVERYONE around you. The impact is immediate and direct. If I eat fat food or whether I had an abortion (If I were a female but I am not) does not affect you one bit.

According to me and anybody with a brain. You can't have a hodge podge piecemeal solution to guns. You can't have states where guns are sold like cigarette packs coexisting with states with good gun control. When people trash big cities they don't understand the dynamics of crime. If you are...

Cities have way more people and generate way more economic activity than rural areas. Inconveniencing rural areas for the sake of cities is a common sense solution. In many countries, including those with much higher standard of living than US, rural folks defer to urban ones, as they should.

I put "BIG" modifier in front of "city" for a reason. You compare NYC to Chicago, LA, etc. not to a "city" of 250,000. NYC is head and shoulders above Chicago and LA, for one good reason - NYPD is mean and VERY good at what it does. To solve the country's gun problem you do the following...

It is blatantly obvious guns don't belong in cities. New York City has the lowest crime rate of any big city in US thanks to TOUGH and EFFECTIVE enforcement of gun laws. It would be even better if the rest of the country was like NYC. If NYC said, f' it let's just let anyone carry a gun it would...

Romney needs to start packing!

I am a democrat on this forum btw. Don't confuse me with far right nutcases. "The court today limits the financial pressure the secretary may apply to induce states to accept the terms of the Medicaid expansion,” the ruling states. “As a practical matter, that means states may now choose...
