Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Do you have the answers to these questions, or are you just throwing out stuff? What exactly are "mind bending medications?"
nobody really ever used AR15s etc in CT shootings/murders before Sandy Hook or after - the ban literally only impacted law abiding citizens
if you are on medications that alter your personality, add to suicidal thoughts, add to depression .... bend your mind ..... I'd say you probably don't need to drive a car, vote, or buy a gun. You're not mentally sound and you could endanger yourself and others
I'm done giving and giving - I will not give up anything else that only affects me the gun owner. We've done this dance for years - giving up this and that and this and that and the liberal Democrat's promise it'll save lives and stop murders/violence and it don't do a damn thing
I dont know. His statement is pretty accurate. If you go to a gun show, and don't want to submit to a background check, there are as many non licensed dealers as licensed ones for you to choose from. I suppose you can't always get any and every gun from a non licensed dealer at a show, but I imagine that is pretty rare.
I was just reading an article b/c I was curious what, if any, effect the Conn ban had. LINK
No, I don't agree.
I posted a link to a left leaning "fact checker", that actually researched the issue and concluded he wasn't telling the truth. One would think you'd accept that as reasonable proof. But I guess I should know better.
Doesn't work for me
I've checked it in my original post, as well as the post where Moops quoted me, and on multiple computers.. Works fine for me in all those places. Moops didn't complain that the lnk didn't work. Maybe it's not the link......
It’s a false statement. But it’s a pretty minor one.
the nation has had falling homocide rates - the results had nothing to do with the bans on the guns that literally nobody used for murdersI was just reading an article b/c I was curious what, if any, effect the Conn ban had. LINK
“If you look the homicide rate, I think it worked out that there were 92 gun homicides per year in Connecticut on average,” Pinciaro said. “Last year -- 2016 -- there were 53.”
That’s the lowest homicide rate ever, according to state data, and Connecticut has one of the lowest gun death rates in the nation.
I don't know if that holds still since it was a 2017 article, but a 40%+ drop in gun homicides is a good result. The article also goes on to say that gun sales were actually up.
Don’t worry about it. It’s a non story anyhow.
He always will. He’s had a stuttering problem since childhood, and he tends to be overly passionate. What’s important is that he’s getting his decisions right.
so you don't want to take away citizens constitutional right? or severely restrict them?
How many people do you think are on meds that could alter personality, have side effects of depression or suicidal thoughts?Half the population?
Just about every drug commercial lists that as a possible side effect. Not sure about actual percentages...but id guess half (of adults at least) isn't that far off
Part one goes both ways. I have never said I want to take away your rights. On the flip side you are always saying that the gun owners are law abiding citizens, so why deny them their guns - but you just said you would be fine taking guns from more law abiding citizens than any AR ban would do.
Correct. And the things we see when we look at the list of shooters - ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, etc. are very common things that many people suffer from. So my point to SC and others has always been that if you say to deny guns to all these people, you would basically be denying guns to a majority of the population - including military vets. Also, they are law abiding citizens.
the nation as a whole has seen murder/violence trending down for decades now
oh I'm banning more than just guns
what if we looked and found there IS no pattern? Many mass murders would pass any background check we threw at them
hey, if we can keep people safer and just save a life - isn't it worth it ?I can't wait to see the political fallout when we tell all the women on birth control that they can't drive or vote anymore so we can keep ARs available for sale over the counter.
It’s not an excuse. Choosing to golf instead of doing the job is an excuse, and a terrible one at that.
Lol. Ah, this wasn't one of the times that you wanted to try to have an honest discussion?
Since when does stuttering cause one to make false claims? I guess Trump has a stutter as well?
Biden has never stuttered that I've seen ...... he loses track of his thought processes and that's last few years and getting worse and worse
so you don't mind if I have an AR15 to defend my home and a 30 round clip just in case crap hits the fan ?
Is that why Momala fields all the phone calls from foreign leaders? So Joe doesn't word salad us into promises we can't keep.
Stuttering isn’t just stumbling over a word, and it usually causes the sufferer to have to rearrange sentences to avoid any stutter risk, as well as substituting words for the same reason.
This might just be the worst example for an argument ever posted on a forum in the history of forums.
Right. Joe used to have a stuttering problem. Not any more, he's learned how to control it, that's why he has the long pauses when he's speaking. It doesn't explain the word salads. Stuttering is just a convenient excuse to deflect from his dementia.
I am guessing by that reasoning SC would be fine if Biden asked SS to protect him with a bat and then came and got SCs guns and gave him a bat?
Bill Walton had a serious stuttering problem. After he retired from the NBA he had therapy to help him with it so he could become a broadcaster. But I'm sure it's an ongoing issue he deals with. Yet, Bill Walton isn't known for constant mistruths and on the rare occasion he says something a little "whacky", people don't use stuttering to excuse his statements. It's pretty sad people feel compelled to use that excuse to cover for someone's lies.
