I'll ask you the same old question: I guess that we don't need stricter gun laws in this country, then? Because according to you, there's no problem.

This doesn't make sense on its face. If people are pointing out that something "bad" is happening, that alone says that they're concerned about it.

funny thing is, yours is a response to someone who does their best to make any thread more Jerry Springer than a "sincere thread with concerned voices".

Talk about hypocrisy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This isn't saying much for Democrats, though. The state of fully-Democrat-run cities is exhibits A through Z for the case of Why to Vote Republican, if you ask me.

Don’t know how you got that out of my post. I was making the point we should learn from our past, was not saying it wasn’t bad or we should not do anything.

Jesus Christ.....what is wrong with you people?

Okay, here are the rules, then: guns are bad, and we have a bad gun violence problem in this country. We need to have stricter gun laws. But also, talking about gun violence is "alarmist." Because there's not that much of a problem, really. Is that the case, or what is it?

The things that you say don't make a whole lot sense when someone repeats them back to you, do they?

Racists ran the Blacks out of the south with 6,500 Emmitt Till type murders and racists in the north wouldn`t hire them. Who created these neighborhoods?

They all think like that. Bad genes or drugs? I suspect psychiatric drugs produce this cognitive problem.
