What's this? Gun laws don't save lives......

[1stdeadeye]

What do you know?

The CDC released a report today in Atlanta, GA found no proof that they reduce firearms violence.

In every case studied by the CDC task force, they found insufficient evidence to determine effectiveness.

What do you know? Maybe the liberals will found their own "independent" reseach group to discredit the CDC now that their beloved CDC has undercut the whole gun control movement!

Of course the laws dont work, the gangbangers purchase everything ilegally so theirs no paperwork anyways. It doesnt matter what you ban, illegal gun/ acessories sales only profit from increased anti gun legislation. The National Fiearms Act of 1934 banned the pocession of machineguns to all, except Class 3 license owners.
However, just a year ago this quiet Korean kid in my class got riddled by a MAC-10 at a phone booth talking to his parents as part of some "gang initiation". They probably bought the thing for a bargain.

Oh well, I wouldnt really care if they banned everyone from owning all guns ('cept myself) as long as they let ME have a tommy gun

Eigh... anti gun politics annoy me... hell would they rather me go on a rampage with a baseball bat and a pack of wooden pencils?

I think Chris Rock (the comedian) has the right idea. In one of his stand-up specials, he proposes the idea that everyone should be allowed to own a gun, but charge $1000 per bullet. That way when some guy steps on your shoe or something stupid you'll pull out your gun but you'll say "Wait a minute ... I might need that $1000 bullet for some other time."

Um, I'm pretty sure that was Chris Rock.....

I can make bullets at home if I really wanted too. Way cheaper than $1000 a bullet. Unless I wanted to make hotdog .50cal bullets made from gold or something.

Unfortunately, I think the only conclusion you can make from that CDC study is that you can't make a conclusion either way. The studies that were cited were too few in number, generally had poor technique, and were too inconsistent to allow for any reasonable interpretation of the data other than, "Heck if I know". I would love to see more research in the field to try to determine which way the scale tilts, and I imagine that organizations like the NRA and the Brady Campaign would have to chip in to make it happen.

What’s this capital punishment does not decrease murders!

So I guess the conservatives will have to fund and create there own think tank to come up with lies about how it does, so they can go on to believe in what they do.


Lets be consistent here.

I am not for the controlling of all guns, just some.


Why in the US do we have the highest murder tolls in the world in the developed countries? We do not have the most guns per person; we do not have the most people. So why?

And the resident arguement for birth control chimes in....

Its interesting... Japan has some of the strictest gun laws in the world... when they were building the man made island airport out there they had a group of extremist environmentalists shell the damn thing with 75mm moartar rounds.... WTF?

We need to take all this cash we are spending on the drug war, gun control, etc etc etc and spend it on education.

Stop trying to stop stupid people from being stupid... it isnt going to happen... make brighter kids so that they grow up to know the difference between being stupid and smart.

<shrug> Nobody will ever have all the right answers... its all just opinions, and we all know how that old saying goes.

Hey CB,
What is the recidivism rate amoung executed murderers?

That is one group that will never kill again, eh?

Hey CB,

Look up Thomas Trantino and then come back to me about capital punishment.

Ah, finally, someone has "figured this out"... i like a line that P.J. O'rourke said...

"A well armed society is a polite society"

now.. just gotta get a handgun and my CCW before the michigan lawmakers decide to take that right away from me...


and it still boggles my mind how some people think that laws are followed by everyone, and that new ones will make people follow the ones they didn't follow before...

and CB... really...

if the appeals system was a little shorter and criminals were actually executed within a few months, rather than 10+ years of their conviction, you can bet there would be less capital crimes.
