Good idea, will do so peacebird Dec 2012 #1
Google "gun defense" too. n/t L0oniX Dec 2012 #2
Just did and that's a lot of NRA talking points. GoneOffShore Dec 2012 #4
That is the intent of that poster, to derail this OP nt stevenleser Dec 2012 #5
...because fair and balanced is not just for Fox news. n/t L0oniX Dec 2012 #8
How unsurprising that cheap shots would be taken by a gun enthusiast. nt stevenleser Dec 2012 #9
Again with the fair and balanced Fox news twist ..."gun enthusiast" L0oniX Dec 2012 #10
You tell me. You seem to know a lot more about Fox News than I do. You agree with hosts there stevenleser Dec 2012 #11
I know this ...the gun debate on DU is totally one sided ...and that is not a debate of any sort. L0oniX Dec 2012 #13
That a huge percentage of your fellow DUers disagree with you ought to give you pause. stevenleser Dec 2012 #16
Going along with the gang is not always the right thing to do but it sure does make... L0oniX Dec 2012 #18
if it isn't right why are you doing it? you are a drone! farminator3000 Dec 2012 #56
P.S. thanks for kicking my OP on gun control, and demonstrating your right wing viewpoints. nt stevenleser Dec 2012 #12
Wanting balance is now "right wing viewpoints". OK n/t L0oniX Dec 2012 #14

Particularly "people of color" in the inner cities Berserker Dec 2012 #20
whaaaa???? farminator3000 Dec 2012 #36
Apparently you would prefer gun nut, or perhaps gungeoneer? Warren Stupidity Dec 2012 #21
Exactly. Why is "Gun Enthusiast" considered a slur now? Isn't that what they are? stevenleser Dec 2012 #28
In passing, neither term bothers me in the least ... spin Dec 2012 #54
At least he didn't say gun nut or gun fetishist or rl6214 Jan 2013 #62
I feel sorry for you bongbong Jan 2013 #79
Back to your bong I see rl6214 Jan 2013 #112
So is the 2nd amendment. n/t L0oniX Dec 2012 #7
if you are seriously trying to say the NRA owns the 2nd amendment, or has any frigging regard for it farminator3000 Dec 2012 #39
Google "home invasion" might be more accurate AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2013 #80
Just like FOX ...they are not interested in fair and balanced. n/t L0oniX Jan 2013 #105
Thanks for the kick of my pro-Gun Control OP! nt stevenleser Jan 2013 #107
I would suggest looking at the causes of crime, and addressing those. Eleanors38 Dec 2012 #3
No, we want to look at both. The solution is multi-faceted with guns being part of solution. Hoyt Dec 2012 #6
here's an good article (old) about the causes of murder. from 1957 - hardly ANY GUNS farminator3000 Jan 2013 #70
More attention should be paid to the 'well-regulated' part of the 2nd amendment. Blanks Dec 2012 #15
I agree, and the point of that part of the gun control segment on my show is, getting to the point stevenleser Dec 2012 #17
Did your show discuss how we have reduced gun deaths hack89 Dec 2012 #19
We reduced the proportion of male youths aged 16-26 in the population and that is what tracks Warren Stupidity Dec 2012 #23
More guns did not decrease gun deaths. hack89 Dec 2012 #25
umm actually it has resulted in more gun suicides. Warren Stupidity Dec 2012 #27
Since we slashed criminal gun violence without strict gun control hack89 Dec 2012 #30
Thank you, Warren libodem Jan 2013 #151
right, more guns "did not decrease". THEY INCREASED murders. they do it EVERY DAY 18.8 times farminator3000 Jan 2013 #71
did your post contain a link or any truth, AT ALL? i think not- "The simple truth is that more guns farminator3000 Dec 2012 #33
Go read the DOJ and FBI Uniform Crime Reports hack89 Dec 2012 #37
i've seen all that, thanks farminator3000 Dec 2012 #40
Let me show you an AWB legal "assault weapon" hack89 Dec 2012 #42
Rifles and shotguns combined account for about 3% of murders. hack89 Dec 2012 #43
There was never a ban on guns during the expired AWB ... spin Dec 2012 #58
and? isn't it odd how you never even mention the NRA for some reason? as if it doesn't exist? farminator3000 Dec 2012 #59
Well there are going to be a lot more firearms in civilian hands in the immediate future. ... spin Jan 2013 #61
civilians are running out of hands for the damn guns. do you shoot with your feet? farminator3000 Jan 2013 #69
I have never bought into the NRA propaganda that the feds will confiscate my guns ... spin Jan 2013 #101
good for you! farminator3000 Jan 2013 #108
That's a good link.Thanks. (n/t) spin Jan 2013 #110
no. read this. farminator3000 Dec 2012 #60
1992 - 24,703 deaths. 2010 - 14,748 deaths hack89 Jan 2013 #66
And yet all those states with lax gun laws saw declines in gun violence hack89 Jan 2013 #67
that is complete BS- the 5 states with worst laws=most deaths,5 with best laws=least deaths- read it farminator3000 Jan 2013 #72
Statistics give you problems don't they? hack89 Jan 2013 #82
they are a problem when you don't provide any, slappy farminator3000 Jan 2013 #84
I gave you a whole web site of official crime reports hack89 Jan 2013 #87
and cherry picked ONE number from that site, stop wasting my time look at post #88 farminator3000 Jan 2013 #90
You are looking at one state hack89 Jan 2013 #98
you are looking at one number and saying it is proof for a bunch of hoo-hah farminator3000 Jan 2013 #124
No - I am looking at multiple tables spanning decades hack89 Jan 2013 #126
look at this and post #130 farminator3000 Jan 2013 #132
So a single NY Times article trumps decades of FBI statistics? hack89 Jan 2013 #135
see #145 farminator3000 Jan 2013 #146
If it's so low, why don't the gun cultists hang up their friggin guns. Hoyt Dec 2012 #55
Because we don't only have guns for self defense. hack89 Jan 2013 #65
And, there are other reasons gun cultists don't admit, sometimes to themselves. Hoyt Jan 2013 #68
they can't admit it if they're being brainwashed! farminator3000 Jan 2013 #74
then why do you keep saying they are so necessary and vital for your protection farminator3000 Jan 2013 #73
I shoot purely for recreation. hack89 Jan 2013 #85
You can always take up a hobby that is better for society. Hoyt Jan 2013 #91
My hobby has never hurt a single person. nt hack89 Jan 2013 #97
Maybe not directly, but yes it does hurt indirectly. I'm sure you don't care, though. Hoyt Jan 2013 #99
Should I stop drinking beer? hack89 Jan 2013 #102
Definitely, also taking prescription meds that affect judgement, while around your lethal weapons. Hoyt Jan 2013 #103
Can I drink if I have no guns? hack89 Jan 2013 #104
I did what you asked. aikoaiko Dec 2012 #22
you can keep your gun. farminator3000 Dec 2012 #34
Not falling for it derby378 Jan 2013 #136
Wow Steve, you rang the gungeoneer bell on this one. Warren Stupidity Dec 2012 #24
Give them props for at least recognizing the danger what I propose poses to their precious guns. stevenleser Dec 2012 #26
I think people are very much aware how much gun violence has fallen hack89 Dec 2012 #31
really? twice in the SAME THREAD??? farminator3000 Dec 2012 #35
Go see #37. Then go study some actual data. nt hack89 Dec 2012 #38
ha ha ha ha ha! stealing my trick are ya? #40, right back at ya! woo hoo! farminator3000 Dec 2012 #41
Go back and read both my answers. nt hack89 Dec 2012 #44
i did. they don't mean a thing. farminator3000 Dec 2012 #49
Your ignorance regarding the AWB is showing hack89 Dec 2012 #50
i thought i used it pretty well to confuse the crap outta ya! farminator3000 Dec 2012 #51
What an incoherent mess. Straw Man Jan 2013 #63
i agree, this guy is paid WAY too much. making you look bad, really...focus, now... farminator3000 Jan 2013 #75
The only gun ban from 1994 to 2004 was the AWB hack89 Jan 2013 #64
how could a GUN BAN lower violence when VIOLENCE HAS NOT ACTUALLY GONE DOWN?!?!? farminator3000 Jan 2013 #77
The FBI and DOJ disagree with you. hack89 Jan 2013 #81
no,they don't,you are using ONE number from 1 of their pages,and not using it very well, i'm afraid farminator3000 Jan 2013 #88
Can you at least try to understand what you post? hack89 Jan 2013 #89
isn't UNDERSTNDING YOU more important? i know what i'm saying, do YOU? farminator3000 Jan 2013 #92
I never said it was down because of more guns hack89 Jan 2013 #96
to make your "50%" thing correct, you'd say... farminator3000 Jan 2013 #93
So tell me how the AWB impacted deaths due to handguns hack89 Jan 2013 #95
i won't because it didn't. again, post #130... farminator3000 Jan 2013 #133
i think you are trying to brainwash people about gun violence and you should stop farminator3000 Jan 2013 #76
Too bad you have no hard facts to back up your opinion. nt hack89 Jan 2013 #83
(Fact#1 states with least gun laws=more deaths)+(Fact#2 states with most gun laws=least deaths)= farminator3000 Jan 2013 #111
Fact 4: all those states saw significant reductions in gun violence hack89 Jan 2013 #113
i don't think you can call it a "fact" when it is just some words you type. farminator3000 Jan 2013 #117
No - there are actual hard facts provided by the FBI hack89 Jan 2013 #118
the FBI would be the 1st to say they aren't in the 'facts' business. those are numbers that you are farminator3000 Jan 2013 #125
2006 = 10,225 deaths by firearm. 2010 = 8,775 deaths hack89 Jan 2013 #128
that sure ain't 50%, says nothing about where the deaths were or what the gun laws were in place farminator3000 Jan 2013 #130
You don't read very well, do you? hack89 Jan 2013 #134
i don't even have to read to know you are full of it farminator3000 Jan 2013 #145
Yet with more guns and laxer laws the rates fell for 20 years. hack89 Jan 2013 #148
more guns means nothing- what about the number of gun OWNERS going down? means less guns in public farminator3000 Jan 2013 #149
So we are on the right track it would appear hack89 Jan 2013 #150
but it has nothing to do with more guns. remember that part. farminator3000 Jan 2013 #152
You would be wrong about non- lethal shootings being up hack89 Jan 2013 #153
