Your video example of a UK robbery is a scene from the movie Zombieland.

"Gun laws don't reduce gun violence they create gun free target zones."

This is what George Orwell would have called "factspeak." It is utterly at variance with the facts. Proper disarmament laws indeed reduce the gun murder rates. Look it up, genius, you find that nearly all Western European have a murder rate a fourth of ours. Every one of the advanced industrialized nations has a lower gun murder rate than we do. By what arrogant imperative do you gun supporters gloss over such facts to make ex cathedra declarations such as the one quoted above?

How is it? Just what I have come to expect from you; a flatline eeg.

Why not? You think like one.

"If gun control was really on the minds of the average citizen - why aren't there laws. It's because the average citizen doesn't want it. The few liberals that are doing the yelling are trying to do it by an old adage "The squeaky wheel get the grease". When it come time to acutally vote, the liberals find out they don't have the backing of the average citizen."

This is an abject non sequitur. There is very little correlation between the passage of laws and the national will. Laws are passed by Congress and approved by a president who came to power on the strength of corporate campaign contributions. They do not poll people on what they want, but serve mostly that corporate agenda. Sometimes there is an exception due to what you call the squeaky wheel.

When a small extremely vocal group makes enough demands, it can win. That appears to be the case with gun ownership. Although there are three hundred million guns in the US, most gun owners have several. Most estimates place the percentage of gun owners at about 33%. It is hardly credible that the other two thirds, who don't love guns enough to have one would vociferously fight for the imaginary right of gun nuts to pack whatever they want.

Your statement about liberals is equally ignorant. Ronald Reagan turned it into a dirty word, the "L-word," which was so horrid, he couldn't even say it. The liberal agenda is for the common man. It is responsible for all the worthwhile social gains in the history of the country, including extension of the franchise to the average man, abolition, woman suffrage, fair labor standards, -the kind that took four year olds out of coal mines- the civil rights movement, gay rights, etc.

Your post takes on the character of a victory lap, as if you think you really told off the person to whom you responded. In fact, you have laid down a thick, noxious tissue of verbal carcinoma.

"A gun, a car or anyother object does no harm till an A__hole uses it from the end of his own arms. It's the A__hole that controls the destiny of events. Its ignorance and conscientious stupid to think otherwise."

I would not make such a statement, even if my brain malfunctioned enough to believe it, because this is an indictment of your intellect. About 99% of the reason for having guns is to tear through flesh and bone. In fact, they were invented for that purpose. Motor vehicles, on the other hand, are vital for transportation of foods and other supplies to urban areas. The accidental deaths, or the few premeditated ones caused by automobiles is regrettable, but eliminating automobiles would result in mass starvation, whereas eliminating guns would result in no harm.

"Gun Control starts with person holding it!"

Breath-taking nonsense! This makes about as much sense as the banksters arguing that they could better serve the public if all regulations were repealed. They would police themselves. This member is arguing that we should leave control up to individuals.

Another thought perhaps? A moron with an education and a flair for stringing words together, is still a moron.

Mexico is a third world country. Nearly all third world countries have higher murder rates than the most murderous advanced industrialized country, the United States. However, the US has the most licentious gun laws among the advanced industrialized countries, and the highest murder rate, so what was your point?
