    You can look for various trends, but there is no evidence here that the availability of guns leads to more murders. Two of the most heavily armed countries, Finland and Switzerland, have murder rates of 2.2 and 0.7, among the lowest in the world. On the other hand, every country with a murder rate at least 5 times greater than the U.S.'s has at least 5 times fewer firearms per person than the U.S.

    There is no class or any type of divisions for that matter in national socialism. The government doesn't fear the people, the people don't fear the government.
    Are you really naive enough to believe this ? It's off-topic, so I won't bother explaining how wrong you are here. All the same... daaaaamn.

    Are you going to keep proving my point? Thanks for your support. How was your felon freely allowed to acquire a gun, own one or more for a substantial period of time without being checked or vetted? A free man with previous charges owning a weapon? Surely this should not happen, or is this ok with you?
    Are you going to keep dodging my question?

    He was law abiding AT THE TIME he committed the crime.


    how is a felon carrying a gun law abiding at any time?

    To the eyeball, it looks like a more heavily armed population goes hand-in-hand with less murder, as an average. The statistics bear that out: the correlation coefficient is negative, -0.23, and it is statistically significant.

    Gun rates. Not murder rates. Gun rates. You're struggling with this.

    Fifth time. Which European countries with strict gun controls have a higher gun death rate than the U.S.?

    Did the parents of the kid said anything, tbh? For some reason I get the sense his hatred isn't some recent development...
    He had plenty of black friends though. Like I said earlier I'm very confused.

    Any criminologist will tell you that "gun rates" are a deflection and distraction, as murder by strangling, beating, and stabbing simply go up in countries with harsher gun laws, meaning society isn't any safer. You have to look at murder rates and violent crime to judge the efficacy of gun control laws, and by any objective measure, they fail to prevent either one.

    So every other country in Europe has a lower murder rate than that of the US.

    Hmm.

    What the do you not understand about it being illegal for a felon to own a firearm? Are you really this stupid or are you trolling cause if you are trolling well done.

    Hmm.
    And many of them rank among the highest in the world in gun ownership.

    Hmm.

    And many do not.

    So basically no clear causation has been shown one way or the other.

    Hmm.

    You're trying real hard to connect dots that you have created yourself. Where did I mention the father specifically? Why was the man in possession of a gun with previous charges without any police intervention? You seem to be trying very hard to deviate from my gun laws questions by mentioning that the man was a felon constantly.. How can conservatives defend this?

    You want to play the 'which gun laws would you implement' game, then what do you propose is done jackass? You enlighten us all with your infinite knowledge. How will Conservatives prevent these mass murders happening again.


    I doubt you'll answer properly. Probably mention felons again.

    Yet the statistics show that overall there is a statistically-significant correlation between high gun ownership rates and low murder rates (and vice versa):

    But, to the eyeball, there are plenty of countries with low gun ownership and low murder rates.

    Are they insignificant?

    Hmm.

    Your stats and graphs did not address solely gun rates. Which is my entire point.

    http://www.theguardian.com/news/data...hip-world-list

    Which European countries with strict gun laws from that list have a higher 'Number of homicides by Firearm' (gun rate) than the U.S. ?

    Hey Blizzardwizard, if gun control is the only answer to tragedies like this, how do you explain the heroism of Charl van Wyk, Jeanne Assam, and Terry Howell Sr. during similar attacks on churches?

    his father gave it to him illegally and should be charged as such. No "new" law would have prevented an already illegal act. I don't see a single conservative defending this wtf are you talking about. And why do you refuse to defend your claim that he wasn't committing a crime while carrying a firearm as a felon? Are you just pretending you never said that do I need to quote it again?

    You want to play the 'which gun laws would you implement' game, then what do you propose is done jackass? You enlighten us all with your infinite knowledge. How will Conservatives prevent these mass murders happening again.
    im not going to propose any new laws because I am aware they wouldn't have stopped his father from illegally giving him a gun. You on the other hand seem to have some law in mind that would have prevented this so what is this new law you propose?


    I doubt you'll answer properly. Probably mention felons again.
    have you figured out its illegal for felons to own firearms in America yet?

    No don't try to score political points by taking the 'let's make this about morals so we don't have to talk about gun laws" stance. You can respect the dead but you have to address the issue also. For some reason all the conservative figure heads seem to be conveniently forgetting to talk about why this happened, playing the 'moral' game to avoid any and all debates over gun laws. If conservatives had any respect for those who have died they'd take action, open their eyes and realise that absolute in' loonies shouldn't be in possession of guns instead of sitting back and doing nothing.

    *Not liberal, also.
    You have used a lot of words, but said nothing.

    He had plenty of black friends though. Like I said earlier I'm very confused.
    This is purely anecdotal but the most racist person I know has several black friends, including a close friend basically transgender. He's the only person I know who will drop "n*gger" without a care in the world. I don't really understand it, but it seems like racists are able to still have friends of a different race while being completely belligerent to that race as a whole.
