Gun control: some surprising facts

Quote from futurecurrents:

Today's gun craziness:

Two people were shot in Oakland on Tuesday while attending a vigil for another man killed in a shooting over the weekend (link); two shootings in Chattanooga, neither gang-related (link); an eight-grader was shot and killed by a 16-year-old in Charlotte (link); and a man in Westminster, Maryland, shot two other men (killing one) because he said he was "being picked on." (link)

See? Had the eighth-grader been armed...
 
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

In Germany, the UK and I auppose all of europe, they would argue that the scumbag's life was worth more than anything he could have stolen. An elderly man's sense of security and freedom from fear are worth nothing to them I guess.

And that's another reason Europe is such a piece of shit these days. No question, most of Europe would be on the side of the bad guy. Boggles my mind.

And speaking of Germany, I will never, EVER buy another Mercedes again! Ever! My Wife's Lexus is a great car. My Mercedes is the biggest piece of shit I've ever owned. Fun to drive, but it's sad when I don't trust the car to take it anywhere out of town without the damn thing breaking down.:mad:
 
Quote from jcl:

Germany has gun control, the US have not. As I lived in both countries and can see the effects, here's some real facts of the consequences of gun control. If you don't like facts, just don't read on.

- Gun control will reduce the murder rate. The US have 4 times the homicide rate of Europe.

Thank you for the post. But please check you math and add the 6 or 7 million the National socialist killed. Nazi gun laws tried to mircomanage guns. That was amoung the most horrible/bad laws in history.

In fact there were about 70 million Nazi victims, not 6 or 7. Are you saying that they died not because of war, war crimes, and antisemitism, but because of gun control laws? That seems a quite bizarre point of view.

What's "bizarre" about unarmed ergo defenseless people being led to slaughter?
 
A shooting in Wilmington leaves one dead (link), four wounded in St. John Parish in LaPlace, Louisiana (link), a 16-year-old was shot and killed in Raleigh, NC (link), two people are dead and another wounded in a shooting incident in Baltimore (link), Chicago saw four shootings in ONE HOUR that left one person dead and five wounded (link).

Oh, and a shooting at a conservative lobbying group in Washington DC left one wounded (link).
 
Apparently statistically per 100,000 people, on average 88 are murdered in Washington DC per year. Not bad you may argue and they probably had it coming anyways.

er maybe so but that's a worse stat than Iraq or about the same as Afghanistan.

Man is a mean murderous beast and that's the truth, wherever he lives.

Sounds like it's a good thing citizens are not allowed to carry weapons in IL.
 
A shooting in Muscatine, Iowa, overnight leaves one man wounded (link); a teenager in San Jose was wounded in a shooting (link); an 18-year-old in Baton Rouge was shot and killed (link); a man was shot repeatedly in downtown Lexington (link); two people shot in Wilmington (link); teasing may have led to the shooting of an 18-year-old in Houston (link); a man in Chicago shot and killed his wife and then turned the gun on himself while their three kids hid in a nearby bedroom (link); a 12-year-old in Texas was shot in the chest by his brother (link); one dead and two wounded in a shooting in Cleveland (link); and an Arkansas National Guardsman was arrested for threatening to shoot high-school kids (link).

Just scratching the surface of America's gun violence for the past couple of days.
