Media and Celebrities Outrage Over Whites Killing a Black Kid

[RRY16]

As a person who trades and used to trade for a living I thought about that a lot.
If you believe Capitalism is the best we know how to lift the most people up the economic ladder.
If you believe the best allocator of resources is the market because price does a better job than govt planners.

Then you should consider the fact that adding liquidity to markets has value for a society.
Now personally I don't believe a day trader is any less valuable than an investor buying stocks for the longer term. The money has already been raised by the market for the business owner. The fact there is a market for the company or other stock owner to raise money is the valuable part after that. All participants may be equally valuable. (not sure about that last sentence.)

Here’s his full Quote:

Just because cities like Chicago are financial centers does not mean their their GDP "contributions" are meaningful. They don't actually produce anything worthwhile except for wealth for financial firm leaders and their cronies.

The bottom line is that good portions of these Democratically-run cities are violent crime cesspools. The white-collar financials guys in these cities are just another type of non-violent thief.

This is a pic of 4 thugs in Chicago who murdered a 9 year old. Take a good look. Now tell me they need a gun to be dangerous. You can walk by a gun a dozen times, a hundred times, ten thousand times and that gun will never just jump up and hurt you in any way, shape or form. Walk by these thugs just once, gun or no gun, and they are likely to kill your ass.
Quit making excuses to defend the thugs. They and they alone are the most dangerous thing a black person will ever encounter, with or without guns.

I really don’t understand what you’re trying to say here. A lot of the small children that are killed are done so with guns. I think it’s the second leading cause of death for minors actually.

Have I mentioned the nra is evil?

The Liberal position -- over & over again --- is to make it difficult for law abiding citizens to own or carry guns. With the laws that the left puts it places the maximum burden of paperwork and regulations on law abiding gun owners while not addressing the actual problem of violent criminals whatsoever -- except to be sure they get out of prison quicker to prey on more decent people.

Well there’s some truth in that registering a weapon has a degree of difficulty but I don’t think that’s outside of the meaning of well regulated.

Treat guns like a car. License, registration and insurance.

Licenses will ensure competence, registration will ensure responsibility and insurance will ensure compensation for victims.

And what do you do with the 4.5 million guns illegally out there right now in the hands of criminals? You think they'll register?

Tsing,
Give it up man. You are trying to reason with an Idiot. The guy has the mental capacity of a rusty nail.
Another added to ignore list...

Apparently he doesn't want to answer the question.

Some people may try to register. I never underestimate stupid people as a rule.

But we have to treat illegally possessed firearms the same way we do now, if they’re illegal law enforcement needs to take them off the street. Overtime the amount will dissipate.

Ok, so you think that some small amount may try to register illegal firearms. That's not going to happen because they aren't legally allowed to own those firearms. If they could, they would have bought them legally in the first place.

This means that your registration and licensing and insurance would only be done by people with legally owned firearms, who - by a vast majority - are not the ones who commit crime. These law abiding citizens don't break the law now, so for them, registering their firearms won't have any impact on crime - since they don't commit crime by and large.

Since we already have law enforcement working to remove these from the street, your suggestion to put in place registration, licensing and insurance would do nothing to reduce crime - which is what you said we need to do this for in the first place. Help me understand your logic.

Like I said some people are stupid and will try to register an illegally owned weapon.

To my other point, guns used in street crime, especially murders and other shootings, are often discarded to hide evidence. A pipeline is needed to replenish these guns. Also there is the normal wear and tear that diminish the usefulness of a gun. A registration will prevent the pipeline by ensuring guns stay with their legal owners.
