Hell, when I was a teenager "Saturday Night Special" (an anti-gun song by Lynyrd Skynyrd about .38 "special" handguns) was a big song on the radio.

For decades it was all about banning handguns. As the song says: "Handguns were made for killing, ain't no good for nothing else".
Now, it's suddenly about so-called "assault rifles".

My feeling is that true criminals never use "assault rifles". You can't exactly sneak around with one very well.
No, they use easily concealed handguns.

Now a crazy person going on some insane killing spree? They will find a way to kill as many people as humanly possible. And they don't give a fuck about the "law".

Anyway, it just seems that all this talk of assault rifles and "gun control" is definitely aimed (pun intended) at the wrong weapons.

Big shootings are big stories on the news for ratings. But they are statistically very rare.
Handguns killing people? That is by far the vast majority of homicide by gun. It's not even close when you compare it with any other type of gun.

People seemed to know that in the 1970's and 1980's.
These days, the media decides what you people believe at any given moment.
Even though you have google at your fingertips to find the truth of the matter.

EDIT: For the record, I own ONE gun. A shotgun. I use birdshot shells. If anyone ever breaks in my house and I shoot them with it...they will wish they were dead because they will be filled with hundreds of tiny bb's.

no comment on this then:

you are aware that the whackjob who murdered the people in the Colorado movie theater picked a theater that DID NOT allow carry permits? even though the creepo had to drive to the other side of town from his place, because the other theaters allowed concealed weapons... that pretty much shows you how it works

Hi Grape, sorry but I already sort of did comment on it. "Open Carry" and "More guns" solution to this isn't something I agree with. The idea is being sold like crazy, but doesn't make sense to me. But you knew that already...




So now you're reduced to misquoting me? That's not what I said, and I didn't even start this thread. Double fail.

Here's the thing: I used to think you were an OK guy until you showed your complete lack of empathy towards animals. Now, I just think you're barely worth any attention at all.

assault rifles were much harder to come by in the 70's so not sure how that is a real comparison in any way.

i couldn't give a crud if you think i'm an ok guy, wtfever that means. ok guy, lolz. :1orglaugh.

and speaking of misquoting, you've been reduced to misrepresenting me, clinging to some bizarre comments about a lack of empathy because I put some birds dying in perspective.

hug a tree ********** and lighten up, look, i didn't realize you take gfy so seriously. I'll go easier on you.

:winkwink:

letting someone like me rent space in your head can lead to this sort of thing.

lemme know.

Yeah, I take that back. Sorry man... it was more about republicans in general that seem to hate him because he's black. That was all. I take it back.




No, sorry. We can disagree on politics, science, business, whatever all that is cool. I just can't get over how you dismiss the suffering of birds and other sea life. Don't waste your time talking to me anymore.




Of course its my opinion, but this is a public forum, and I'm a member here like you are. It's a discussion forum. Sorry you don't like my opinion but please post yours and or tell me where I'm wrong. Discussions are fun and important.

Peace.

good point BUT EVERY FUCKING POST BY YOU is bullshit about how republicans killed the dinosaurs, murdered jesus and made straight men gay ... blah blah blah etc... :2 cents:

Ok, sorry, sorry.

My whole entire point was that, from a non-American, the entire republican system and right wing media seemed very extreme in their views to me. For example, and again, just my opinion & view, they SEEM to be anti women rights, anti gay rights, anti alternative energy, any equal pay rights, etc etc. Each of these brings problems which are made only worse by people like Rush Limbaugh and others. I bring them up because they are interesting, and enjoy talking about it and learning the points of view. But anyway, fine, point taken. I apologize if I've hurt anyones feelings, and promise to keep my political opinions to myself from now on unless someone asks. I promise though, to keep reading yours and everyone else.

Peace? Hug?
