Handguns are used to commit almost 2/3 of all murders. Handguns. Why the hate for rifles and "assault weapons?"

Actually, it was 91% in 2014 in cases where the weapon was identified.

We think nothing (or at least the media don't) of greatly inconveniencing millions of passengers on a daily basis for everyday business and pleasure travel.

Maybe you think nothing of it.

Do you insist on being the biggest dullwit on the planet? There is no one but you who would possibly interpret what I said, how I said it, as my 'thinking nothing of it.' Well OK, one or two others, maybe.

quote:

The argument often bleated by the anti-control crowd is that "guns don't kill people," one of the most idiotic slogans ever spoken.
The whole idea behind limited access (and that's all it's ever been), is to isolate those 'innocent guns' from at least some of those less-than-innocent prospective possessors of same.

quote:

That's only because you don't understand the slogan. Walk into a gun store.

So, if non-gun owners were to walk into a gun store and see all the signs saying "weapons that won't kill anybody! for sale!" we might get a better grasp of things? I'll have to check that out.

How many people are killed each year by "assault weapons" at the hands of civilians? What about pistols? Rifles? Shotguns?

And quite a few others.

The majority of mass murders involve rifles, shotguns, military weapons of great variety.

Most 'normal' crimes or occasional defense from crime involve only hand guns.

Do you have the stats on how many homes were defended with military rifles vs. hand guns?

Oh, wait! Yes, I almost didn't get your point, there;

As long as the murders from mundane crime exceed the number of victims of mass murderers with army rifles, there's no need to regulate control of army rifles or shot guns, right? The mass murders by assault weapons, rifles, and shot guns being nothing more than a "cost of doing business" in defending the home with defensive small arms, right? So we're good to go on un-limitation of sale of large weapons by not hindering access to those any more than we limit the regular citizen looking for home defense buying a good pistol. Good to know.

Your belief that the majority of murders are committed with long guns prove that you get your information from sites that lie to you to gain your support.

I don't really think this is due to Islamic terrorism; at least not the primary reason. I think this guy couldn't deal with his repressed homosexuality (and it was repressed due to his religious beliefs) and was a couple beers shy of a 12-pack.

With his statement in front of us we can see clearly that you are lying. He never said that...He said the "majority of mass murders". Once again we see what a lying punk you are who will say anything no matter how outlandish just to try and score points.

Well, actually, I neither said nor implied any such thing.

What is it about unfathomably stupid people that makes them want to continuously display that phenomenal stupidity to the world?

Along with fundamental stupid, do they have something like a built-in 'stupid beacon' gene?
