Having a great day! A little bored now though.

Ha! I knew you would squirm out of this one. I wouldn't go anywhere near a home that is armed. You might "think" someone is not home but you know damn well you would NOT take that chance. Not if there was a huge home next door that is not armed. Don't be silly Ricter.

Ricter, can I ask you a question. Will you promise to be 100% honest? Please? Let's say you are a criminal (I know it's a stretch) and you were walking through a nice neighborhood scouting for a house to rob. You come across two huge homes that fit the bill. The home on the left has a...

Oh come on. See why we can't get anywhere in these debates? Brass, are you denying the fact that gangs and the mafia won't seize upon the opportunity to provide the street with guns if you ban them at the retail level? Come on, don't be that obtuse. As far as cars go, yes, the more rare a...

When I hear the word ban, I see an arm's dealer eyes light up. No need to ban. I have no issue with back ground checks and waiting periods. I also support mandatory sentencing for any crime committed by a gun. I would support mandatory 10 years for any gun crime and mandatory life without...

Come on. Brass...you're being difficult again. Nobody is saying there should not be no laws. We simply need to enforce the laws we have and focus government resources on the "causes" of these events vs going door to door and taking people's ability to protect themselves away from them. Most...

My point about bringing up the war on drugs was to demonstrate that laws cannot stop people from purchasing and using illegal drugs. Sure, it will stop and be effective in trivial cases. The same is true with guns. But if someone REALLY wants a gun and really wants to buy some drugs, no law...

Just curious if any of you gun control folks believe in our drug laws. You know the laws we have on the books that are suppose to stop people from using illegal drugs. I eagerly await all the responses from the left.

Never owned a gun in my life.

Brass, come on now, you are just being difficult. Here is a better analogy, is it better for us to determine on our own if we want to lock our car doors or have the government impose fines on us if we leave our cars unlocked? Brass, do you support the war on drugs yes or no?

Don't own a car and believe it or not, I don't lock my apartment. I should point out I live in a doorman building.

You get paid to "lend" money Ricter, not borrow it. LOL.

Actually the authors of the book Freakonomics point out that locking your house door and locking your car door does not reduce the odds of someone breaking in your home or your car. Thieves steal the cars they WANT, not the cars with the doors unlocked. Same with houses.

It's called debt Ricter. LOL. You do know we have to pay that back right? LOL.

The problem is not you are not making it harder for him, you are making it harder for US!!!!! If he REALLY wants to get one, he will. I'm not willing to jump through 100 hoops to get one.

Nah, they could just as easily use explosives. Timothy McVeigh didn't use one. Neither did Ted Kaczynski.

It's not a matter of trying. It's where you put your resources. Kind of like Bush spending all our money and resources in Iraq vs going after Bin Laden eh? Not sure if you realize this Brass, but contrary to what your friends on the left tell you, we have very limited funds and resources in...

At the more fundamental core of the argument is the idea on the left that the government can control people which they can't. I rather treat the cause, not the affect. Spend more money on trying to find guys likes Holmes BEFORE they go postal. Rather then pretending if we make guns harder to...

Sure. But I took particular offense to this garbage spewed by Moore that white people want guns in the suburbs to protect against those dangerous colored folk that might leave the city and come out to the burbs to get them. Piers never challenged him on that. He just sat there. Moore said...

Not at all. It's simply to point out that you cannot stop 10 sigma events from happening through legislation. Legislation is only effective curbing trivial crimes. History has shown this time and time again.
