The only time you pay attention to the homicide rate is when you google it so you can argue on nationstates.

Yes, yes. And all gun owners Christian their guns in the blood of the innocent blah blah.

Sources.

And don’t act like you give a shit about “99%” of America.


I do care about the 99% but you know I feel sad and agree for these kids being killed in school but in this Florida case I can't help but think that many of those parents supported the republican party's refusal to do anything on guns until it was their child dead. Those kids were let down by the poor decisions of the adults in voting.

In fact, 70 percent of the counties had only 4 percent of the murders

Would you like to note that most are in California and Illinois, where the Gun Control laws are some of the most strict?

No, you don't.


I thought you wanted gun control measures to save lives?

Also, apparently you seem to think you know me. I will repeat: focusing on the gun is pointless. You're not going to stop people killing people by banning the guns, or making restrictions that apply to the guns.

So what do you focus on? What's your step by step plan to reduce spree shootings in the US or are you just satisfied with it being an intrinsic part of American culture? What have you looked into about restrictions on guns that makes you think with such conviction that it just won't work?

Admit that I don't care about 99% of gun deaths because they don't relate to me in any realistic way. Honesty is a virtue after all.

MD is strict and guess what we have not had any massive shootings (more then like 4 or 5 killed/wounded) since we banned Assault weapons in 2013. The SCOTUS knows its working so they have refused to over turn it.

The surrounding states are to blame. If congress bans Guns across state lines then those states with strict gun control will be safer.

That isn't why SCOTUS didn't overturn it. Its because SCOTUS hates having 5-4 opinions, so they put it off where possible. Try again, kiddo.

Also, fwiw, I've had "assault weapon" in MD post-2013. You can do it if you comply with the laws. :roll:

‘A step by step plan’ lol

Nobody truly has a step by step plan for this shit. And gun restriction, especially on things like features and types, are going to do jack shit because the cats out of the bag, so to speak. Since 1898, the cut off point for ‘firearms’ in the US, over threee hundred million guns have been sold into civilian hands. Gun control isn’t going to make those go away.
