    You're creepy as hell and you're also in my thread. Obviously you need to get to a NA meeting. Feel bad for you...honestly.

    Find some peace, dignity and self worth.

    I had to straighten out some views in here. I'll wait for the nonsense to pile up again. Going back and forth with a man that is ordered to stay away from children is no way to go through life. 

    Carry on.

    The beauty of the internet is that little white men like you can say what they really think without any repercussions.

    Maybe there is a correlation between the percent of blacks per capita in a country and gun related homicides..

                                                Percent Black

    United States - 3.55 .............. 13.2%
    United Kingdom - 0.04..............3.3%
    Spain - 0.15 ..............................0.5%
    Portugal - 0.48 ..........................2.%
    Norway - 0.04 ...........................1.4%
    Poland - 0.02 ............................very few
    Japan - 0.001............................0.00782%
    Italy - 0.36 .................................0.5%...
    Israel - 0.94 ...............................2.8%
    Hong Kong - 0.001 ....................0.3%
    Germany - 0.20 .........................1%
    France - 0.22..............................8%
    Canada - 0.51 ............................2.7%
    Australia - 0.11 ..........................0.1%
    Belgium - 0.29 ...........................0.4%

    The beauty of the internet is that little white men like you can say what they really think without any repercussions.

    You're giving it your best and I appreciate the desperate attempt on a child. Disneyland, beach, all was forgiven long long time ago.
    Hell of a try though.

    Detox doesn't realize guns are also used in self defense when someone else is trying to kill you.

    Maybe Detox you should take a look at what happened in Australia when they disarmed the citizens.

    ....I'm guessing the private buyer is required by law to complete the ownership transfer on his/her own, which would mean visiting an FFL dealer and filling out paper work. Makes sense considering ownership of an unregistered firearm is a felony..

    I get that the media can be frustrating no matter your ideology. But you have to stay informed. Not watching TV or listening to the news or not reading the paper---this cannot be the answer to me.

    Latest up-date :

    It looks like the transaction was subject to a background check, to no effect... the gun used in the attack was purchased in April at a gun shop .

    It's being reported that Joe Roof, his grandfather, said Roof was given "birthday money" and that the family didn't know what he did with it....Roof turned 21 in April, and a short time later He had a gun.

    Investigators did a trace of the handgun used in the shooting and determined that it was a .45-caliber handgun Roof purchased from a Charleston gun store in April...it looks like,, if the existing laws are not enforced passing one more law would not have prevented him from getting a gun.

    The gun Roof was Glock .45-caliber model 41, which holds 13 rounds...Witnesses say Roof reloaded five times...My Lord !!! what is that 78 bullets..don't tell me an armed church goer wouldn't have been able to stop him ( or slow him down) on one of the earlier reloads..

    As much as we don't like each other, I agree 100% with this.  Guns kill, simply put, cut and dry.   Uneducated, poorly if no training at all owners are lurking everywhere, and they are a menace to themselves and others when holding.

    My belief in the mandatory ownership of a gun at this point in time is because, in essence, every person out there is strapped, and you have to consider a good portion of them are untrained and uneducated on gun control, safety and awareness.  Average response time by police can stretch from 2-9 minutes, so you have to be responsible for your own life in such situations when you are face to face with an armed person seeking to harm you or family.  This is where proper training and education comes into play, MOSTLY to understand when the threat is credible and how to properly respond.

     The flipside is more people than not don't take the proper channels to own and carry a gun, and these are the majority using the guns.  So even in the event that they are trying to protect themselves, they don't have the mental ability, wherewithal or whatever other reason to not act the right way, causing harm to an innocent person, themselves or whatever.

    BUT, either way, a person that takes the proper channels, goes the furthest extent to learn safety and gun control to where they are confident enough to carry the weapon, NEEDS to own a gun in 2015.

    I agree TOTALLY with your response to Detox. As the people don't have any respect for each other or authority, guns are not respected either. I'll have one shortly and will be taking the course on how to use it and when it can be used. Society is spiraling out of control and now for the first time in my lifetime the cops are being demonized which will less effective. The world is a dangerous place, people are on these anti-depressant meds that are making some more crazy than they were before. YOUR ON YOUR OWN, SO ACT LIKE IT. 

    LUCKY for me I'm in Arizona where after the 7 day Federal waiting period all I need to do is take the course which I believe to be 1 day. I thought about this long and hard and I can't come up with a reason not to have protection in the U.S.A. in 2015... Also, in my state it can be concealed which is awesome. No one needs to know except the bad mofo. I transport money for my biz and instead of just my d*ck in my hand, Mr. 9MM could be of use as a great deterrent IN CASE.

    Saw this today and it reminds me of some of the people here on Covers.

    Salon headline after the Boston Marathon Bombing
    "Muslims don't Need to Apologize for the Tsarnaevs"

    Salon headline after the Charleston shootings
    "White America Must Answer for the Charleston Church Massacre"

    Why...because of The Crusades, and colonialism, and social justice, and all that.

    You sure that wasn't your son that was responsible for this, Slovak?  I can see where he gets all that hate from.
