    Why are only the super rich free? This is a simple question. You make claims that you're incapable of backing up.

    FOR some reason my quotes of your posts don’t appear - tried to quote your post about having your rights to defend etc etc

    I’m not disputing that your constitution does indeed grant you that right

    But when do the liberties you have allowed to citizens to protect you against this perceived threat expose you to a much greater one?

    Even taking away deaths caused by ‘criminals’ the number of innocent deaths caused by the very method you claim is protecting you should cause you to at least question the validity of that method, rather than simply hiding behind the rhetoric of ‘freedom’ and ‘rights’

    What do you mean by "criminals"? People in illegal possession of a gun? 

    Take away suicides and homicides by people in illegal possession of a firearm -- what do you think that number is per year on average?

    A few things here:

    Whatever that number is, you obviously think it’s an acceptable price to pay for your personal right, correct?

    And, the number of gun suicides and use of firearms illegally procured is CLEARLY a product of the wide availability of firearms. You cannot say the Texan incident does not count just because he shouldn’t have been allowed to get them. He got them because the checking system failed but also because there are gun shops everywhere for him and others to try their luck

    Suicide rate is 12.6 per 100,000 in US and 11.9 per 100,000 in Europe. 

    I don't think the suicide rate has anything to do with gun access. 

    We should increase the mandatory minimums for people in illegal possession of a firearm. Restricting the rights of law abiding citizens is asinine.

    Yeah it's crazy how that worked out. Almost like the two major political parties evolved or swapped stances since Republican Abraham Lincoln was President. I wonder what party Democratic Governor George Wallace would be a part of today? I'm sure all the Pro Trump Nazi's and Klan members in the south voted for Hillary though right? Or maybe Gary Johnson?

    most civil wars deal with a ruling elite bracket and a thriving merchant buisness bracket. both possessing elites. case study russian civil war. a bank a principle in this case labor movement and a culture of elitists who have no way of being removed from power and underlying false sense that earth should be equal for alll. reality a ruling elitists in this case nobility was removed by another set of elitists based within philosphy and in the end the serf peasant classes were left in a much worse position of powerless to stop tyranny... owwning a firearm in russia is against the law for most private citizens... yet ppl are shot in moscow in almost a daily occurance.

    we do not see that far in our adhd reationary soicity. but the end road is the president of russia can order a women to piss and she sqauts. occurding to cnn thriller trump loves a golden shower... 

    realistically maine has about the highest gun per citizen actually more guns than citizens yet crime is low vs the rest of the nation...

    we do not have a civil war but an election cycle.

    most civil wars deal with a ruling elite bracket and a thriving merchant buisness bracket. both possessing elites. case study russian civil war. a bank a principle in this case labor movement and a culture of elitists who have no way of being removed from power and underlying false sense that earth should be equal for alll. reality a ruling elitists in this case nobility was removed by another set of elitists based within philosphy and in the end the serf peasant classes were left in a much worse position of powerless to stop tyranny... owwning a firearm in russia is against the law for most private citizens... yet ppl are shot in moscow in almost a daily occurance.

    we do not see that far in our adhd reationary soicity. but the end road is the president of russia can order a women to piss and she sqauts. occurding to cnn thriller trump loves a golden shower... 

    realistically maine has about the highest gun per citizen actually more guns than citizens yet crime is low vs the rest of the nation...

    we do not have a civil war but an election cycle.

    Gripeing about what rich people get by with, funny,thats been going on a long time before any of us were born. As for Trump, he's only been in office a year and a lot of that is reversing the things obama did to the country for two terms. Trading five taliban for a want to be taliban was an all time presidential low, ashamed of him or any fool that would vote for the traitor. The media makes sheep hate Trump,also the liberal teachers we have brainwashing kids in public schools. we are lucky Bills old lady was defeated,she would be like obama and never stand up tp N. Korea or other foes. obama quote,"the sweetest sound is the muslim call to prayer", achieved his goal to divide the country.

    You answered the Q about suicide stats - fair enough 

    You ignored my point suggesting that a proclivity of gun shops made it far easier for guns to be acquired illegally, as likely happened in Texas, as they were clearly bought not stolen

    So you CANT separate the two stats. Allowing such free access for legal use risks the same for illegal use

    Why did you respond to the first point but not this one?

    I didn't ignore it, I offered a solution. Increase the mandatory minimums for people found in illegal possession of a firearm. 

    In Texas the gun was purchased legally. You're having a hard time grasping what happened in Texas for some reason.

    You said take away homicides from illegally purchased guns when considering your stats

    I said you can’t because the number of gun shops surely makes it easier to purchase legally or illegally 

    Do you refute this?

    The initial Q which you’ve also ignored is, do you think the current gun stats are a fair price to pay for your right to arm yourself against your perceived but never realised threat?

    That's like saying cars are readily available in the US, there are a lot of deaths related to cars... so because of this we need to make cars less available to the public.

    Oh so now hyperbole is too much for you? Got it. Now you want to bring it to the literal sense. Whatever works for you Slim. I guess that works since you've never been one for consistency anyways. 

    I like this numbers game though. Roughly 63 million voted for Trump, out of roughly 250 million eligible voters. Can't imagine why people aren't getting behind him. Trump only has a majority in Congress and still can't get sh!t passed. Wonder why that is? 

    It's funny you used those numbers, between 10k and 16k, because that's roughly what he won a few key swing states by. Might not be so lucky in 2020 if he can't actually get anything done. Which would be quite impressive given that he has a majority in Congress. I can only imagine what might happen if he runs against someone slightly more popular than HRC, who is literally the most unpopular candidate of all time. I'd hate to see what would happen if he had to run against someone that isn't hated by most of America. Especially considering he STILL lost the popular vote. 

    But yeah, Trump's doing a great job right? He might even get that tax cut passed through a Congress that he has a majority of before next year. I'm looking forward to this tax cut doing absolutely nothing for me or anyone that I associate with but doing wonders for Trump and his circle. That's great. Love me some trickle down economics! 

    Slim, what's it like gargling Trump's ball sack? Or should I ask Detox?

    Haven't we learned enough from drugs about mandatory minimums, and how they are a bad idea? 

    Are we really going to have to hear horror stories about people serving mandatory minimum sentences because they happen to be in a house or a car where there is a fire arm?  A fire arm they might not have even been aware of but because it fits a certain criteria and definition of "possession," they now will have their lives ruined over this? 

    Mandatory minimums are never a good idea imo.

    I guess I'm wrong if you truly believe that the Obama era was more divisive than slavery or Jim Crow. 

    Amazing logic as always Slim. I do think it's a legit question about you gargling Trump's balls though. I saw it on infowars and Sundance said that's the only reliable news source anymore. Notice how you say I'm wrong, yet you didn't address any other part of what I posted and refuted that? Wonder why? 

    Notice how you resort to calling anyone who disagrees with you a "leftist" or "liberal"? I must be the worst liberal ever then. Pro gun, anti minimum wage, pro tax cuts, anti big government, anti excessive government spending....but yep, that's me....Mr. Liberal over here.

    I have a few clients that own pawn shops that sell guns - a lot of them. You should see the effort they put into selling a gun and the records they must keep. They can lose that license and face serious consequences if a spot reveals an improper sale. So please, your acting like gun shops just sell guns like M&Ms.

    Texas wasn't the problem, it appears the U.S. military dropped the ball on this loon acquiring several guns. 

    Also, can't you understand how the criminals are going to get guns even if they have to steal them.

    No I didn't call you a liberal of Mr.liberal...I called you a leftist... Big difference..

    You are wrong ...the refute is here ....Going by your numbers and your figures, that roughly 25% of the eligible voters (out of 250 million) voted for President Trump...if we carry that presumption and apply it to the number of Klan and neo nazi's that would have voted ( only 25% of them ) the only swing state Hillary Clinton would have had a chance to win was the Big state of New Hampshire..it would have made no difference in the outcome of the election..


    You know Ktrain,,you remind me of the Ferndale punks we use to see on the sidewalk ..when we were cruising down Woodward Ave to Teds drive -in.....they would stand there and shout out vulgar comments to us,but as soon as we stop the car to confront them face to face  ....off they go  running down the street like the little girlyboys,, that they really were ..

    Hey old man, I know you're memory must be shot but you've already used that passive aggressive threat before. Feel free to come up with a new one if you can even think for yourself anymore. Maybe you should just stick to calling everyone "leftists", "lefty's" or "liberals". Probably easier on your dementia riddled brain. Besides, no one is scared of you Slim. You remind me of the old man yelling at kids to stay off the lawn. "Back in my day.....". No one cares about your day, old man. 

    Trump barely won a few swing states by a few percentage points against one of the most unpopular candidates of all time. I'm not even sure the GOP wants Trump to run in 2020. I'd rather see someone like Ben Shapiro run for the GOP. It would be better for America to have him than someone like Trump. But Trump is dumb and old as f#ck so I can see why you would be a fan of his.

    Hey old man, I know you're memory must be shot but you've already used that passive aggressive threat before. Feel free to come up with a new one if you can even think for yourself anymore. Maybe you should just stick to calling everyone "leftists", "lefty's" or "liberals". Probably easier on your dementia riddled brain. Besides, no one is scared of you Slim. You remind me of the old man yelling at kids to stay off the lawn. "Back in my day.....". No one cares about your day, old man. 

    Trump barely won a few swing states by a few percentage points against one of the most unpopular candidates of all time. I'm not even sure the GOP wants Trump to run in 2020. I'd rather see someone like Ben Shapiro run for the GOP. It would be better for America to have him than someone like Trump. But Trump is dumb and old as f#ck so I can see why you would be a fan of his.

    Ktrain, you are starting to sound just like George Takei....Why are you so  obsessed with male testicles ?

    Look Ktrain, I wasn't talking about you being on the Ferndale sidewalk shouting out vulgar comments..(though you do,do  it in here) you are much too young to have been there,at that time...

    Although,it could have been one of your relatives..say an Uncle or even your Step-Father...that's why I said it must be in your DNA..

    Nevertheless, you are right about one thing Hillary Rodman Clinton was an unpopular candidate..she had the money, the media and the Clinton machine,, but she mismanaged her campaign even after cheating her way to the Democratic nomination...

    Hillary was on the wrong side of everything and stood for nothing ..except her personal goal of shattering the elusive glass ceiling...

    Between her and Obama the only thing they shattered was the DNC...and all the Kings horses and all the Kings men won't be able to put it back together anytime soon..

    In 2020,, if President Trump want's to run again ..it will not matter if the Republican party wants him to or not...they didn't want him to run in 2016 and that did not stop him.. 

    So, you can call President Trump old as f#ck and you can call me an old man..but it's no more than the reminiscent sound of those Ferndale sidewalk punks..who shout loud and run fast...

    Did you really just compare the need for cars with the need for guns?

    Cars allow the first world to function 

    Guns protect us, in the minds of some, against other guns

    Which brings me back to the Q which you STILL haven’t addressed asking if the thousands of gunshot deaths, caused at least in part by the wide availability of guns, Is an acceptable price to pay for your right to defend yourself against the perceived threat of your government ?
