What is "against guns" - doesn't sound like a position anyone would want to be in.

The idea of guns for hunting was deeply inculcated into our life, but this idea of guns as "lifestyle," or guns for protection, or guns to protect against "government tyranny," I do have a hard time identifying with that. I mean, you go up in Lawrence and Mercer county and you see billboards for gun shops (maybe around here too, but just noticed it up there). Very odd -- notwithstanding the ubiquity of hunting and hunting rifles in this area.

i actually dont fully disagree with this, but isnt there a deeper point? HOW TO REDUCE THE 'SUPPLY'?

who determines who does get a gun and who does not......remember, many of these (such as that likely road rage incident you cited from this morning from the linked article) were probably LEGALLY obtained guns. whose fault is it that the shooter is just dumb and a neanderthal - i mean, its just driving, no one molested his wife or harmed his child.

so how is the supply reduced? background checks? permit requirements? we already have that?

can you or anyone answer how to reduce the supply without tip-toeing across the line of totalitarianism/fascism?

And it’s hilarious how they think criminals won’t still get their hands on guns.

right, because that really worked well in washington dc for so long and in chicago more recently.

imagine, knowing there are so many guns out there, wishing someone would RESTRICT THE SUPPLY....oh, wait, they already do that across the board, yet large areas of the city are chaos with robberies, shootouts, and assaults. what the heck?

I was watching a video, many of them in fact about some incident in philly at some sheetzlike convenience store. (nah, I actually do know what a wawa is - hit em up everytime I goto cape may)


100+ unarmed youths swarmed a store, killed no one but took pretty much everything and at one point asked the counter clerk to make them some sammys.


so we now have armed and unarmed swarms that are nearly 100% concentrated with over a 80% confidence interval in a new demographic (and no it is not race based)


By the end of the year, unless something changes like, um tonight, over 30000 people will be murdered, by firearms by people in the same new demographic.


Since we are having trouble finding any evidence that these firearms are purchased in a store, under the rules, getting rid of firearms helps this how? You know what comes over our borders? In rank of most to least: drugs, guns, illegal immigrants.


I dont want to sink to stereotypes, but this one advertises in loud neon: typical liberal non-solution that only exacerbates the problem




pssst: well known well publicized secret that in the UK, all the bad actors are armed to the teeth from illegal imported weapons. They just dont waste shots because of some rap video dis or someones soccer team lost. those who live in pitt and pay just the least attention know this. 3 more shot last evening?
