Empathy.	Major Hogwash	Jun 2012	#88
Because we know that police always use their powers wisely	hack89	Jun 2012	#2
You planning on using your gun to fight against police discrimination? I advise against it.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#3
Police should not have the discretion to decide what civil liberties I can exercise	hack89	Jun 2012	#5
Correct, they shouldn't.	Starboard Tack	Jun 2012	#10
So what do you suggest? Stop and frisk? Random searches?	hack89	Jun 2012	#16
No, none of that. Absolutely not.	Starboard Tack	Jun 2012	#20
So the status quo in other words? Sounds fine to me. nt	hack89	Jun 2012	#24
You left out an option.	GreenStormCloud	Jun 2012	#92
The mayor is exactly right. We need to change attitudes about guns.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#4
Yet such a tiny percentage of gun owners conceal carry	hack89	Jun 2012	#6
Plenty carry with out permits. All the SOBs I just mentioned were legally carrying right up until	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#7
So what law will prevent this?	hack89	Jun 2012	#8
Stop promoting more and more guns, particularly on the streets.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#12
How does that impact the criminal use of guns?	hack89	Jun 2012	#15
Please point out where anyone is promoting criminal use of firearms, other than criminals. n/t	PavePusher	Jun 2012	#23
When you buy a bunch of guns some of them eventually end up in criminal hands.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#60
"...some of them eventually end up in criminal hands."	PavePusher	Jun 2012	#75
So what current	Meiko	Jun 2012	#9
Ones that allow folks to strut around with guns on the street, prepare their kids to strut, etc.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#14
Doesn't seem to be working in Australia	friendly_iconoclast	Jun 2012	#18
wait?	gejohnston	Jun 2012	#29
No shit- I had to read that twice.	friendly_iconoclast	Jun 2012	#37
Yep, our guns are polluting the world. Australia has smart gun laws.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#61
Well in your vast knowledge of firearms,what types and how many?	oneshooter	Jun 2012	#19
Oneshooter, I would bet 75% of your guns would fall into unacceptable to a peaceful society.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#63
Nice dodge. Why don't you answer the question instead?	friendly_iconoclast	Jun 2012	#64
75% of my collection is from the 1700's and 1800's	oneshooter	Jun 2012	#66
and how do you plan on doing	Meiko	Jun 2012	#25
The millions of guns out there will double in 2 decades. Why allow that?	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#65
Then why have you called for a total ban?	oneshooter	Jun 2012	#67
Don't think I said that. I have said we'd be better off without guns, BUT	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#68
He can't advocate for a total ban...	Clames	Jun 2012	#83
If properly	Meiko	Jun 2012	#79
Good point. The gun culture always pushes the envelop without regard to society.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#80
Why allow that?	Trunk Monkey	Jun 2012	#82
In your opinion.	NewMoonTherian	Jun 2012	#78
Not the more "guns are progessive" junk again. I suppose more bombs are too?	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#81
Guns aren't progressive.	NewMoonTherian	Jun 2012	#85
Without a gun, Zimmerman would have remained in his car like the coward he is.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#86
maybe, maybe not nt	gejohnston	Jun 2012	#87
So your argument...	NewMoonTherian	Jun 2012	#89
What stats do you have to back up that claim.	Starboard Tack	Jun 2012	#11
So all those gang related shootings in DC, LA, Chicago, Detroit, etc	hack89	Jun 2012	#13
Those are inner city gangs, not your average criminal.	Starboard Tack	Jun 2012	#17
Yet by every measurable standard	hack89	Jun 2012	#22
AGAIN?????	bongbong	Jun 2012	#26
You will not win by constantly lying about my views.	hack89	Jun 2012	#31
AGAIN????? You're still insinuating people have said something they haven't?	friendly_iconoclast	Jun 2012	#33
You remind me of those people who, every time there's a big snowstorm...	DanTex	Jun 2012	#30
Well, I know that increased snow would be a sign of global warming	hack89	Jun 2012	#32
Well, nice to know your denialism doesn't extend to areas other than gun violence.	DanTex	Jun 2012	#34
About that "more guns do in fact result in more homicide."- Homicide rates have fallen.	friendly_iconoclast	Jun 2012	#36
Did you read either of those studies? Or are you not interested in what actual social scientists...	DanTex	Jun 2012	#39
Not if what they claim isn't bourne out by statistical trends.	friendly_iconoclast	Jun 2012	#42
Lordy. There are a lot of factors that affect crime rates!	DanTex	Jun 2012	#44
Did the places with high gun ownership not go through the same reduction in crime+murder rates?	friendly_iconoclast	Jun 2012	#62
No one denies that there are a lot of factors that affect crime rates.	Atypical Liberal	Jun 2012	#71
So if gun ownership is down drastically	hack89	Jun 2012	#38
Gun ownership is not down drastically, it is down modestly.	DanTex	Jun 2012	#40
It is the drastic and steady decline that makes it ok	hack89	Jun 2012	#41
It is still a huge number of unnecessary deaths.	DanTex	Jun 2012	#43
What is.the exact number of gun murders last year?	hack89	Jun 2012	#45
According to 2010 CDC data.	DanTex	Jun 2012	#46
Why the desire to pad your numbers?	hack89	Jun 2012	#47
What are you talking about?	DanTex	Jun 2012	#49
So you want a ban on the private ownership of hand guns?	hack89	Jun 2012	#50
Lordy! Did I say that I was?	DanTex	Jun 2012	#52
Because criminals will license and register their guns? Got it. nt	hack89	Jun 2012	#53
You seem to have trouble staying on topic.	DanTex	Jun 2012	#54
But what you want is impossible to achieve.	hack89	Jun 2012	#57
You could make the same argument about single-payer healthcare.	DanTex	Jun 2012	#59
So with all these states liberalizing their gun laws	hack89	Jun 2012	#70
The restrictionistas would rather lick a New York sidewalk than admit...	friendly_iconoclast	Jun 2012	#35
Good analogy......... had you thought it thru.......	Spoonman	Jun 2012	#91
Not a direct answer to your question, but a good info graphic	sarisataka	Jun 2012	#21
Flashy graphic!	bongbong	Jun 2012	#27
It is flashy- but I notice you didn't actually refute any of it...	friendly_iconoclast	Jun 2012	#28
Thank you, but I can't claim credit	sarisataka	Jun 2012	#56
If nothing else it is produced by a company that makes money off "tactical" gun gear.	Hoyt	Jun 2012	#72
is that you?	gejohnston	Jun 2012	#73
The truth comes out?	sarisataka	Jun 2012	#76
here all this time I thought	gejohnston	Jun 2012	#77
