"Mister NagNag , You are trying to drown the fish, and it's not gone work . Give you reading assignment ? hell NO you don't want acknowledged the facts of others !!"


Facts? How do you know? Did you read them? Facts have no relevance until they are put into context. Why don't you present those facts in the poorer context. If it seems relevant I will either comment on your assessment of the links, or read them myself. If you have nothing to say yourself, you are just an irrelevant electronic card catalogue.

"I can speak of the city and county that I live in. From the Sheriffs mouth who is a Democrat of the 25,000 or more carry concealed linsenses issued last year only 3 people's CCL was revoked and none of them were gun related they were all for drunk driving. Isn't that good?"


Yes, it is wonderful. Now what is the relevance of this to the abnormally high gun murder rate in the US?

How many people die each year in automobile crashes?? Are we going to out law cars??


This is disingenuous.

You don't need guns as part of your modern life. People in democracies live happy free lives without them and are much safer overall. Cars are essential to most people. I am in favour of of far tougher driving laws, especially bans for those who drive dangerously.

You offer you opinion as a typical liberal. If I had to loose one freedom over the other I would start walking instead of not being able to protect me and my family. How do you know what I need or don't need, and you know what they say about opinions.

As long as there is evil and criminal intend to harm people I do need a way to protect myself and family. The world hasn't changed that much since the Romans. Technology has changed but people haven't.

Nagy: It is noteworthy that raferrelljr did not at all address the point raised by Skellum0. The first responsibility of a debater is to respond to what the opposition has said. The counterpoint follows that step. raferrelljr eliminated the response, because he has none.

The counterargument is itself based on faith, rather than fact. In the US, where anyone can have guns, many argue that we need to keep having the right to carry those things for protection. That implies that without a proliferation of guns, there would be more gun deaths. It is about as logical as prescribing sexual intercourse to avoid conception. In the US, where gun control is lax, the murder rate is four to thirteen times as high as the murder rates of countries that strictly control guns. Ah, that will not stop raferrelljr from screeching about how we need to keep those guns in order to avoid being killed by them.

Nagy: There are cases in which guns can, have, and will avoid crime, but in general, murders vary directly with the number of guns in civilian hands. We have shown this Hogger and others that the need for protection drops with the elimination of guns, and that the proliferation of guns in America is correlated with the highest gun murder rate in the advanced world, but he still persists with the nonsense about needing guns in order to avoid being killed by them.

The reason for the 2nd Amendment was mainly for civil protection against a rouge government.

"How many North Koreans die by government hands or government starvation?? Either way they are still dead and I'm sure the number is greater than 30,000."


Nagy: This is supposedly a refutation of gun control laws, because if the government restricts guns, it will then do what North Korea does. How many does it kill? I doubt very many, and refuse to take the time to research now. It would be a thankless task anyway, since North Korea is a closed society. If you pretend to know, why did you not post the data?

More to the point, your argument is utterly irrational. North Korea is not the only country in the world with strict gun control policies. All advanced nations have them, and not now of the advanced nations is a dictatorship, so what is your point, further to indict your intellect?

Agree, and in addition. North Korea is a Totalitarian state. By definition it try to control everything and therefore bears no resemblance a modern democracy where gun con control is achieved through the will of the majority.

There are no democracies with gun control where the government has suddenly turned on the people, these countries are not turning into police states, indeed, because violent crime falls so much with gun control police they tend to have a lower rate of law enforcement.

What you do have are peaceful, free countries in which violent crime runs around a quarter of that in the US, where homicides are also around a quarter, and gun related deaths are around a tenth.

I'm guessing a rouge government would be red and therefore communist.

Frankly, I don't see anything wrong with having guns. The gun doesnt walk around finding people to kill. Why not attack the real issue. The evil in men's hearts. Maybe if we had God back in the school system, and non violent kids games and rap music things could be different. But Mr. Pnagy is intent on attacking me. Just pitiful.

Your proposal is the result of a world class meltdown in logic and values. You choose more guns to kill more people already born over abortions that kill embryos. How few other people would have failed to realize that there is no need to have a quota on killing people; that killing embryos and killing people already born are not related; and that killing those who are already born is not preferable to killing embryos?


???? Guns don't kill people...they die off after listening to liberals.

It is the law. The Supreme Court banned states from imposing total bans on firearms in the home. So you will need a 28th amendment to appeal the 2nd amendment of the Constitution to change anything. “Good Luck”


Just think of the 2000 criminals that got them Eric Holder & company
