Good god man, if your going to post sources, its a good idea to post ones that dont make the opposition double over in laughter....

I guess I just assumed most would be able to tell the hype from the facts.
Sorry, I guess I was wrong. So to any others who missed it, it's for the stats and such.
Perhaps "slant" would have been a better choice of words rather than "hype'.

Dont you think that the accuracy of the facts presented is called into question when the bias of the writer is so obvious?

Are you aware there are between 15 - 20,000 firearms laws on the books both federal and state?
While I am not aware of exactly how many firearm laws, I knew at the time I posted, that yes, the numbers were up there. We've got a hell of a lot of laws.
Quote:
That's what you consider absence of regulation? HOLY CRAP!
Please point me to where I said anything of the sort. I made a simple intrinsic statement concerning the need for the regulation of firearms. How you managed to arrive at said contrived statement, I have no idea. Perhaps a bias towards those who favor gun control? In the future please refrain from putting words in my "mouth". It is not something which I appreciate.
Quote:
And it's well documented that the states with the most liberal concealed carry laws have the lowesr crime rate.
Again, I am aware of this. Do not assume that because I favor gun control that I do not know of which I speak, and in particular the facts surrounding the matter. Numerous sets of data certainly lend themselves towards the notion that concealed weapons tend to lower crime. One needs not look further than say, North Carolina for example which began allowing concealed weapons in 1995. Since then there has a been a notable overall decline in all violent crimes and their rates. I support very tight regulation of CWP's, and do not believe that they are a right, but a privilage just as many things in this country.

Well OK, here it is....
Quote:
The absence of firearm regulation is idiocy.
If you can't remember what you write, perhaps it would be best not to write at all. I put no words in your mouth.
And if indeed you were aware of the fact that there are a great many (whether you knew the number or not) existing firearms laws, then the statement.... "The absence of firearm regulation is idiocy", was either hyperbole, or a direct lie.
Which is it?

Yes, I wrote that. Very good. I never said that this country is devoid of firearm laws, nor did I say I consider the number of laws on the books to be an absence, did I? As I previously stated I made an intrinsic statement concerning the need for firearm regulation. I'm sorry if you are having trouble comprehending my words, but you're reaching Alpo, really. The absence of firearm regulation is idiocy. It was neither a hyperbole or a lie. Regulation is needed. I am sorry you don't feel that way. I have this thing about convicted felons, the mentally unstable, et all possessing firearms. However, I am through with you. I have not the time or the patience for somebody who attempts to carry on a conversation with me, and then proceeds to put words in my mouth and call me a liar.

So, just to clarify YOUR stance, are you against ALL gun control laws? Or are you willing to compromise that some are necessary? Not attacking your position, yet. I'm just curious....

I have never said there should be no gun control laws. I think there are far too many. I think they only affect the law abiding.
Having said that.... I think VIOLENT felons and mentally disadvantaged should NOT be able to get guns. There doesn't seem to be anyway to stop felons at least. Gun laws work about as well as drug laws.

It means someone who doesn't know how to punch a ballot.
--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.
