    They probably do, I'm just saying that the best way to have no gun crimes is to have no guns.You can't shoot someone with a gun that isn't there (Now watch, the next few posts will be gamely arguing that you CAN.)

    Well sure. And the best way to avoid nuclear war is to have no nukes. But we cant even do that. "The best way to have no gun crimes" is impossible. You need a different solution.

    And the only other solution I see offered is to go about armed to the teeth and instantly kill anyone who looks at them crosseyed. And why is it impossible to have no guns? You sound like alcoholics when they are told they can't drink anymore. "That's just totally impossible"is the first thing they say. "Surely you cant be proposing we don't drink at all". Alcohol is a necessary part of their lives and they think it's like that for everybody and yet they're often talking to people who just don't drink at all and sometimes never have. The same thing goes for gun addicts. I've lived a long and not uneventful life and not always in protected circumstances yet I've never had a gun or felt the need for one. I'm not the unusual one either. IMO you are.

    What a completely silly and failed comparison I own one gun and it's never loaded so if everyone is as you say they are we would all be packing it loaded everywhere we went or at least at the house so how do you explain that one?

    We already know you're authoritarian opinion on guns. Only the government should have them right?

    Authoritarianism is like a drug addict always seeking its next fix.

    Can you possibly cram some more hysterical hyperbole into one post?

    The firing of all the political appointees of the opposition party is one of the few benefits of a two party system.
    The turnover inhibits entrenched corruption and incompetence - at least to some degree.

    How would you keep guns out of the hands of criminals?

    When about half the population is carrying a concealed loaded handgun street crime will virtually stop, and the other half will not have to carry a gun. Real progress.

    True, a criminal loves an unarmed victim. An armed society is a polite and civil one.

    When was the last time you were in a real "WAR ZONE"?

    At over 38,000 deaths per year, you're far more likely to die behind the wheel of your car than from a criminal with a gun.

    I do. I don't deny that a riot happened, though.

    Operation Warp Speed was formed to encourage private and public partnerships to enable faster approval and production of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic

    Button A: You can't overthrow the government with guns. We have nukes.

    Button B: One person can overthrow the government in a hat with horns on it and no gun.

    Insurrection of one my foot.

    Maybe you can learn something from Fauci. Or, don't you want to listen to the medical experts? Do you deny science?

    Ummmmmmmmmmmm, well, one of the reasons is that Biden and the left spent an entire campaign telling Americans not to get the Trump rushed vaccine.

    Probably an attempt to disperse the crowd. Did the crown need dispersing? I have no idea. protests I wasn't there. My take is that the people who participate in political protests aren't at the top of the IQ scale. It doesn't take much to push them in one direction or another. Somebody pushed them in the wrong direction.

    it was created AFTER the vaccine was already in trials, it was created so Trump could try to steal some credit, nothing more

    It'd be interesting to know what percentage of those shooters were raised by single Mothers supported by welfare. I'd guess it's in the ninety percentile range.

    I think your guess would be dead wrong.

    Lott proved what should have been self evident: More Guns = Less Crime.
