Lol. What a load of crap. That map shows the states with the highest absolute number of firearm deaths. You can't compare a state with 40 million people to one with half a million. you have to compare rates of deaths. California has a lot of a firearm deaths becasue it has a huge population. If you look at firearm death RATES per 100,000 people, California is one of the sfaest states.

Here a list of the states with the highest rates
Code:
1. Alaska	19.2
2. Louisiana 19.0
3. Mississippi 18.3
4. Alabama 16.9
5. Arkansas 16.6
6. Wyoming 16.2
7. Montana 16.1
8. New Mexico 16.0
9. Oklahoma 15.7
10. South Carolina 15.5



And the lowest
Code:
41. New Hampshire	8.7
42. Wisconsin 8.2
43. Iowa 7.5
44. California 7.4
45. Minnesota 6.6
46. New Jersey 5.3
47. Connecticut 5.0
48. New York 4.2
49. Massachusetts 3.2
50. Rhode Island 3.0
51. Hawaii 2.6

Why do you think a lower "firearms death rate" keeps people safer?

I think your premise of what defines "safer" is distorted.

Yeah, I should hope the Russians killed more Nazis than the Americans did. Germans INVADED their country. I don't recall Churchill making numerous trips to ask Stalin for help.

You criticize our violent culture while your country (Danish, right?) is being overrun with 3rd world invaders. According to the UK Daily, a Danish teenager is being prosecuted by your court system for using pepper spray to prevent a "refugee" from raping her. You criticize our culture while your country is literally being RAPED and its citizens are not allowed to fight back at all.

Yes, I'm preparing for the dollar to crash. Thought about holding on to some other currency. After much research, I realized it's wise just to hold onto U.S. dollars because when the world reserve currency goes down, other countries currencies tank proportionately.

Anti-gun people always point to gun death stats. But those deaths aren't necessary innocent people. Gun owners don't have the luxury of showing how firearm ownership deters crime. I once brandished a shotgun at a guy who was trying to break into my neighbor's house. He immediately departed. I didn't call the police department so they could file a report that went into a database. I've found many similar anecdotes on YouTube. Surely there are millions more just like myself but there is no way to quantify how gun ownership has prevented a crime from taking place.

You have to look at things in aggregate. Owning a gun shortens your lifespan (statistically)

Sure, if you're a gang banger. I come from a family of gun owners who live into their 80s and some into their 90s.

Do you guys need trigger warnings before I post about guns? You guys act just like the regressives when it comes to opinions you don't like.

No, I'd say we all have a decent enough understanding of trigger discipline, since we haven't accidentally killed ourselves or family yet.

One thing I always admired about America was how easy it was to obtain purpose built killing machines. There is no real need to possess a man portable fully automatic minigun, but its available to you if you wish to own one. I love it.





there's not need to have whiny liberal ass hats trying to take guns from law
abiding citizens by making up a lot of bullshit but here we are with this
thread again




but you can understand where they come from right?




of course I understand, they come from ignorance, fear, manipulation and
control, it's no different thn the many other liberal cries to 'think of
the children' when they banned flavored tobacco products, no different
than banning joe camel and now they attack vaporizers and the e-liquids
under the same premise

any time a shooting of this nature happens they attack the guns, the
republicans, they go after anything but the actul perpetrator, they make
excuses  for them, they claim he was a product of society, he was bullied
as a kid, he was misguided. he was anything but the one that was responsible
for his own actions



Quote:

I mean its totally reasonable to suggest guns be heavily restricted in order to combat the rates of mass shootings. Your guys rate per capita is staggering compared to other developed countries. At this point its starting to get ridiculous.




once again, the choice is to fight the symptoms instead of the problem and then
cherry pick your arguments, tell me, how many guns were used in the OKC bombing?
how many were used in the 9/11 attacks? how many were used in the boton marathon
bombing? Theodore Kaczynski, Eric Rudolph, Faisal Shahzad nor any of the others
that have killed using bombs heeded a gun to do so, banning guns has not stopped
mass shooting in england, canada o any other place that has placed heavy
restrictions or outright bans on civilian gun ownership because the one thing
than none of these places are looking at is is the actual cause, mentally ill
people and in addition to that the promotion of a thug culture. when a criminal
robs a store and shoot 3 people, democrats blame the gun, they blame poverty,
they blame everything but the perpetrator because to them he wasnt responsible
for his actions, when a child is gunned down in a chicago gang war black lives
dont matter because it was a black killing another black but let a cop kill a
violent criminal and suddenly he was just an innocent boy that only happened to
kill 4 people so it wasnt his fault, the was the cops to blame for him shooting
at them, it was the guns, if they take the guns from the law abiding citizens
then the criminals wont need guns

this is the intelligence of gun control advocates

Of all the ways to die, a bullet seems pretty peaceful.. I would much rather be shot in the face than forced to sit on a sword. :shrug:

These arguments will go nowhere, ban guns get a sword in the ass, ban swords get your face smashed in with a rock, ban rocks get stabbed with a stick, ban sticks get chocked out by your neighbor, ban chocking get poisoned by your cousin. idk....

Yeah of all the un-natural deaths a gunshot seems like one of the best. I've read a lot of stories of survivors and most don't feel any pain for at least 5 minutes sometimes longer, I suppose it has to do with the bullet entering you so fast and you're body releasing endorphins and adrenaline.

The gun control debate really is ridiculous I try to stay out of these threads just because they piss me off so much and trying to win an argument against illogical people using logic never works.

I grew up shooting guns, I'm still alive.  I was shooting a ten guage unsupervised when I was in third grade.  But its not like I didn't know what I was doing.  I was well versed in firearms safety by the time I was in second grade.  By third grade my dad let me loose in the yard with a ten guage single shot.  I'm fourty now, it was no big deal then, and it isn't now.
