Hey, Scal, check this out. Article about the shooter's father, a career criminal whom the law did not care to punish likely cause he was one of the good-old-boys (i.e., white). Just read the article and imagine what they would have done to the guy if he had been black:

The weakest kind of argument - point to a perceived flaw in your opponents logic rather than address the issue itself So, do you think there would be more or less shootings of civilians if gun control laws were tighter?  I say less

You&#x27;re a typical democrat opportunist that has no idea what they&#x27;re talking about as usual.  When will you realize that democrats just lie to you?If someone is going to use a full automatic at 370 yards into a crowd, a silencer would never be considered.   Once again you just want to say something derogatory,  even if it&#x27;s stupid.This must be the happiest day of every democrats life.Imagine we could find  a silencer for your covers politics account.

What are we going to use to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government? 9mm&#x27;s?

Ramanujan · Answer

This happens a lot does it? Enough to justify the bloodshed of civilians  yesterday and every other day on US soil?

Ramanujan · Answer

AND I note you didn&#x2019;t answer my question

I_Need_A_Detox · Answer

Yeah, want the list.

I_Need_A_Detox · Answer

3 percent of criminals who use guns get them legally

Ramanujan · Answer

Same Q againSo, do you think there would be more or less shootings of civilians if gun control laws were tighter?  I say less

I_Need_A_Detox · Answer

I would say roughly the same. Criminals have a tendency to not follow the rules. Gun control laws are the equivalent of putting a "no wolves allowed" sign up to protect sheep from wolves.

StumpTownStu · Answer

When you consider how many illegal gun purchases start as "legal" transactions that number grows considerably.

lovethedough · Answer

These are stats from the American Enterprise Institute. The number of firearms since 1994 has increased 56%.

But what about the gun murder rate? Well, guess what? The percentage of murders, the gun homicide rate is down 49% in the same time frame.

Now, the left says more guns equals more crime, more guns equal more mayhem, more guns equals more dead people, more guns equals more murder. No, it doesn’t. Fifty-six percent increase gun ownership since 1994. .....49% decline in gun homicide rates at the same time. Having more guns has reduced the number of gun homicides.

lovethedough · Answer

We have laws against murder. People still get killed in America. Not even laws against murder stop it from happening. What law could you come up with here that would, quote, “prevent guns, especially the most dangerous guns, from falling into the wrong hands”?

There’s not a law that you could pass that would stop this guy from doing what he did. He already broke existing laws, including murder laws, to do what he did.

I_Need_A_Detox · Answer

The over-whelming majority of gun crimes aren't committed by lawful gun owners.

Unlawful gun owners don't care about the current laws, why would they care about new laws?

The most effective approach would be to increase mandatory minimums for people caught in illegal possession of a firearm. This would be the most effective approach but democrats fight it.

Why do democrats fight it? (I know, do you?)

I_Need_A_Detox · Answer

Democrats don&#x27;t want tough mandatory minimums for people in unlawful possession of a firearm because minorities are more likely to be in illegal possession of a firearm. This makes sense in their little brains. They fight for minority criminals to the detriment of law abiding minorities. Sad

Ramanujan · Answer

And once again you&#x2019;ve turned away from the unavoidable shameful truth of America&#x2019;s firearms record, not remotely parallel anywhere in the civilised world, and turned it into a name calling festival There is nowhere in the world where the people are unarmed where they are overrun by crime. Why do you assume it will happen to you?  And why are you so sure of this theory that you allow so many civilians to be slaughtered rather than &#x2018;risk&#x2019; it?The rest of the world pities your dire predicament it truly does. And you do nothing to try and fix it. Nothing

I_Need_A_Detox · Answer

In America, we don&#x27;t care what the rest of the world thinks. We&#x27;re the strongest and best country in the history of mankind.

scalabrine · Answer

@BB - so typical. So so typical. Now 6 HUNDRED people are shot up in the end and everyone has nothing but shoulder shrugs.

scalabrine · Answer

Hey Dough, the silencer isn&#x27;t about this slaughter.It&#x27;s about the Right&#x27;s hypocrisy and proof they&#x27;ve been bought out by the NRA. And how you are the worst of it because you are on your hands and knees face in the dirt in direct compliance of their every word.Embarrassing. Really a disgrace. I swear if I could get every account here deleted in a capping contest I&#x27;d spend the rest of my Covers posting life doing just that. You posters are a disagrace. You have no idea how infantile and imbecilic you sound.

SarasotaSlim · Answer

An AR-15 with a silencer is about as loud as a jackhammer ....
