    Just admit it: you want guns banned to allow the government to excercise more control over the people. You don't give a damn about saving lives.

    True, but the amendment doesn't restrict regulation. Meaning the SC would not rule that a criminal and/or a mentally ill person has a 2nd amendment right to be armed. Felons can be denied even voting rights.

    I've seen very, very little detail of this shooting. I haven't seen the motive, and I haven't seen any evidence so far that any existing gun laws or any proposed gun laws would have stopped it. Once more info is available, I'm happy to talk about reasonable legislation, provided that it is actually reasonable.

    Hi, drluggit.

    The first sentence is something that I've answered many times. It has passed its 'use by' date.

    As to the remainder, I cannot, nor will I speak for democrats.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . 'n un-shot.

    Hi for the last time, WBK.

    Your assumption as to what I want is not worth responding to. I shall no longer read your posts.

    Regards, best to you and yours.

    Umm bullets don't harm or kill anyone until a person aims it and pulls the trigger... Of course bullets have little purpose besides harm and destruction but it is a person is who decides on how it is used.

    "...a person in the United States of America dies of gunshot every 12 minutes..." That is one VERY UNFORTUNATE person!

    Hi, Matticus77.

    Thanks for taking time to respond.

    Unfortunately, in shootings found to be accidental, the gun person's decision may not have included killing someone.


    Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . 'n stay un-shot.

    Well FOX cares much less about what happened in Buffalo. Their main stories are still about elections, border crisis, and what Trump is doing. Sure they mention Buffalo but they care a lot less about it and give most of their time towards other stories

    Hello there right back at you Mr Torus.

    I do believe you managed to miss my point there. You spoke of bullets killing people....

    Did you know that only a tiny fraction of the bullet sold and produced and consumed...... Ever end up in someone being shot and killed?


    I bet it's much less than 1/10 of a fraction of 1%


    May the day rise up to meet your satisfaction !!!

    Cheers and best regards!!!

    And remember the big three!

    Blame the bullets and not the person that pulled the trigger... yeah... that makes sense. Let's set a goalf having everyone who commits a murder by noon be home without bail for dinner... wait.. Democrat DA's from LA to Chicago to New York City have already done that.

    Oh I think that goes back to the dude who was the suspect in the Atlanta Olympic bombing. After that I think they stopped referring to people as suspects and and started calling them persons of interest. It is all about not getting sued if they name the wrong person or say he did it when he didn't. I think the Sandyhook shooter's brother tried to sue some people who named him as the shooter because his brother had his ID on him but that didn't go anywhere as far as getting rich off the mistake last I heard.

    Hi again, FatBack.

    Thank you for the information.

    Unfortunately, it does nothing to reduce the annual carnage -- some 45,000 according to one source for the year 2020 -- by a single death.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . 'n un-shot.

    You've never lived in a civilised country.

    It's great. You don't have mass murders all the time, schools work, everybody gets health care (which helps in controlling epidemics and pandemics) the roads are better. It just works.

    Did you know that roughly the same number of people die because of automobiles annually?

    Are there any less dead? Stay safe and undead in an automobile! Best regards and remember the big three!

    Hi again, FatBack.

    Once again, thank you for taking time to reply.

    Unfortunately, the statistic you noted does nothing to reduce the tragedy of the deaths from gunshot.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . 'n un-shot.

    Side note. I am quite old. Though my driving record was unblemished for decades, I noted a decrease in my ability to react to emergency situations on the road and have stopped driving. By doing so, I have reduced to some slight degree the possibility of someone being injured or killed through my driving. I also divested my home of firearms many years ago. I could see no need for them, and the risk of them being stolen and used by someone else in a criminal manner was not something I wished to be part of.
