Chicago 2017: Homicide, Gun Control, LEO Gone Fetal And The DOJ

And that chicago is ranked 18th in gun homicides.

 

Gun deaths is similiar to auto deaths. There are many reasons for auto death such as drinking, inattention, lack of sleep, faulty equipment....etc. There are many reasons for gun deaths. If you die at the hand of a gun then gun control may have prevented that death

 

If a group of thugs break into your house, gun control may have caused your death over the welfare of some criminals. Well done.

 

First off, guns don't have hands. Second of all, no gun ever killed anyone without a person holding it. And there are innocent people who have died because of gun control.

 

It is my thesis that gun control saves lives. You are free to disagree

 

Appropriate gun control will allow gun ownership by the law abiding, sane and well trained. If you are not one of them you should not have a gun anyway

 

My family has done just fine with no formal training other than when I was in the military. There are many things that people shouldn't do. We don't need government intervention for them all.

 

Guns are not self explanatory

 

I taught my kids well. I wouldn't dream of handing a 5 year old a gun and tell him to figure it out. I don't need a government nanny.

People have common sense and those who don't had better learn.

 

There is no evidence that the gun control ideas that you espouse would work in the US.

 

Yeah. The same for medicine

But they might. And every sane, law abiding and well trained person would still be able to get a gun so there would be no harm

 

Seeing as how there are plenty of examples of people who lost their lives because of gun control laws, I do indeed disagree, and fundamentally. Gun control has no place in a society based in political liberty and personal freedom.

 

And yet today in the United States gun control prevents law-abiding people from getting guns and people have died because of it. Plain and simple that is UNACCEPTABLE.

 

Seeing as how there are plenty of people that have lost their lives due to lax gun laws I disagree with you. Gun control and liberty can achieve a balance

 

And yet today lax gun laws have resulted in the deaths of thousands. That is unacceptable

 

The people did not lose their lives because of "lax gun control". Most lost their lives due to failing to take responsibility for their own security. Gun control and liberty are incompatible. Period.

 

No one has ever died because of "lax gun laws".

 

No many lost their lives because of lax gun control laws. Those deaths would not have happened in japan

 

Thousands do every year

 

Still feeding the trolls?

 

If there are so many then you can find documented instances of people dying specifically because of "lax gun laws". Trust me, I'll find infinitely more examples of people surviving criminal assault because of firearms than you can find of people dying because of a lack of gun control.

 

In reality, I should put him on ignore... but someone needs to be able to rebut him so that people on the fence can't be swayed by his commentary.

 

Every time a criminal shoots a victim it is due at least in part to lax gun laws

 

No one capable of reasoned thought will be swayed by his nonsense.

 

I learned that about you long ago.
