What, other countries exist, and other things happen there? I don't believe you. How many rich mofos do you think are googling non-extradition countries right now? Some country is about to get a huge influx of tax money.

No they aren't. 39,773 is total deaths, not just homicide. As I said, around 60% of those are suicide. The FBI numbers are for homicides and they are actually a few hundred higher than the CDC for 2017 (15,129 vs. 14,542), which is the year I was referencing. I suspect they are including...

Used to be the freelancer commercial, now I have to go with the Kraken.

Doesn't it seem like this might have a negative effect on crop growth?

Welcome to test.

They were confidential, the local politicians handed them over anyway after Sandy Hook to publicly shame law abiding gun owners a la Joaquin Castro, with the same result of just putting people in danger. If they had know who had rifles and shotguns, they would have made that public too.

This is part of the problem. Mass shootings account for an incredibly small number of deaths every year but they are emotional effective for passing new laws. Most gun murders (including mass shootings) are committed by gang members and drug dealers. When people talk about this in the media...

Ummm............................this would probably require a new law. Seriously though, I'm not a huge fan of references because they require you to add more people to "The List", and I'm a little touchy on this because New York's list of pistol owners was made public. Full dox, names...

Not exactly the same thing. The kid can't buy the gun or ammo but the parents can buy them and allow the kid to use them. For hunting, I believe that you have to be supervised until age 16, at least in NY.

Despite this, I've never had a problem with background checks as long as it doesn't lead to a registry that a shady politician can use against people. I'd also like to see more training. I used to target shoot a lot and its surprising how many people are just accidents waiting to happen...

Yeah, I really hate the way people talk about Jefferson these days. They like to point out the fact that he owned slaves but ignore the fact that he opposed slavery. He was furious that he couldn't free his slaves. He wanted a clause in the constitution that would disallow all new slaves and...

@NaffNaffBobFace, so they are mostly spread through different documents from personal letters, addresses to congress, the constitutional convention and books and newspapers so they can be a bit hard to find. If you take the time to go through the websites of national history libraries you...

You can't even imagine the kind of arguments the damn comma placement causes. To be honest, it appears to be just bad grammar, which isn't helping. From other writings from the founding fathers about the 2nd amendment, they make it clear that this interpretation is what they meant. A militia...

Our constitution does not state this, the media is the only reason that you believe it does. The 2nd amendment is written as follows: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. You are also...

I don't think that any scopes are made specifically for this but if you practiced with them you could probably figure out a hold over by yourself using the markings they do have. The prison near me has guards in the towers at least 50 yards from the inmates and their first round is rubber so...

Good point, thanks.

Don't take it personally, he's just upset. As far as not engaging, just remember, talking is never the problem. Maybe if some of the kids doing this shit had someone to talk to it wouldn't be happening.

1. So, in the US the CDC collects this data at a federal level. Unfortunately, not all local agencies provide full reports and most can't do it in a timely manner (still a lot of isolated communities in the US) so the data on assault and homicide tends to list "unknown cause" a lot in their...

He escaped in an Aurora.

Being prepared for bad things to happen doesn't make you fearful, it makes you responsible. Taking responsibility for yourself can actually help you feel less afraid because you aren't at the mercy of others, for good or bad. As far as the rest of it, I'm sorry you feel that way, have a good...
