    And you wonder why the pro-gun side won't give an inch.
    Molon labe.

    There is full intent on using it. And we have used it.

    play games if you must, but you and I both know that you know it is a passive form of defense.

    there are about 300 million firearms in America. 99.99% are used as a passive form of defense.

    If 300 million firearms were ever used aggressively, you, me, the entire world, would know it.

    The idea has nothing to do with the police state.Instead of disarming everyone like you liberals suggest,so you can impose your progressive liberal reich,I merely suggested to identify nutters before they go off the rails and disarm them.I am sure there is a way to work out an affordable psychological assessment.Everyone wins.Incidentally, mental health of Ameticans is probably the most important issue no one works on.Are you aware that over 80,000 US vets committed suicide since 2005 due to mental health issues?

    Do you know what intent is?
    Sure it's a threat. So, the intent then is to never use it. Only as a defense? The threats are idle?

    So the threats are idle? And if so, then no one will take the thread seriously.

    true. America doesn't have a gun problem, it has a culture problem. The left doesn't want to harp on the fact that roughly 9% of the US population, Black and Hispanic males between the age of 14 and 44, commit 75% of all gun-involved crimes. If that horrible statistic could be magically erased, America's gun-involved crime rate would be closer to Switzerland's.

    I am sorry.
    That is an answer that you and everyone on Earth should know.

    Intent means we say, we will use them if you don't do as I say. If we don't mean it, then the threat is useless.
    So North Korea, should continue with their Nuke program, because we won't do anything anyway.

    The answer is known. By everyone on earth. Except you I guess.

    You seem to be questioning my statement about intent.
    Do you think we have no intent on using them, say if NK doesn't stop their nuke program? If we have no intent, then the threat is useless.

    Yes, no doubt. Hell, this is day 318 of this year and there has been over 300 mass shootings (4 or more people targeted) already!!!!

    This HAS TO STOP. The Russian divisions which the right has warmly embraced is the driving hatred behind it, plus the NRA's drive for profits which, again, the right has warmly embraced. We need some previously unacceptable laws!

    So you made a claim that you cannot support. That is called lying. Good for you they don't prohibit lying pieces of ***** on this forum.

    O.K.

    Enlighten me then by answering the question.

    If everyone but me knows the answer, it shouldn't be that hard, right?

    You're here as proof of that.

    You're the poster boy, in fact.

    what threats? aggressors make threats, our passive pile of nukes go a long way towards ensuring threats are as far as it goes.
