RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Maggot - 12-04-2015 When I was young in grammar school and later in H.S. I would bring my shotgun to school because I had gone hunting that morning. I could bring my gun to school and leave it in the principals office then get it back when I left school. It was a much simpler time when society was a bit more tolerant. Today the U.S. has failed in the upbringing of their children, shielding them from the world and codling them into a world of selfish, entitled assholes. The country you are in is much like America was 40 yrs ago. Give it time. Today people are gun shy in our schools the established "leaders" have become so politically correct that when a gun comes out everyone runs for the hills as if goblins have been released out of a box. The U.S. can never go back now, it has been over run with self created nutcases. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Mohammed - 12-04-2015 Well, I guess it was a different time before Alamo Mr. Crocket.

Everybody has access to google if they feel the need to call me out on my stats. I research my shit before I comment. To be clear, I'm all for doing whatever it takes to change the course of the current tragic events. I'm just not going to get behind gun legislation being the answer. Just making something illegal won't protect the public, and in the end I think what everyone here is after is public safety. It's proven ineffective and when legislators start making laws because the feel as though "they need to do SOMETHING FAST" we end up with laws like the Patriot act. It's dangerous and today, too many people immediately push to legislate their problems away. I personally don't want more government in my life. I think our government has too much power as it is now. Making more laws that have no real effect on what we're trying to prevent has no appeal to me. It's just more "security theater."(12-04-2015, 12:59 PM)Blindgreed1 Wrote: I don't rely on what "guys say" as facts Mo. The statistics I posted are validated. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - HairOfTheDog - 12-04-2015 It's up to you whether you copy and paste or not, Gunnar. Copying and pasting content isn't the problem and it's not a question of "calling you out"; it's standard protocol for everyone here and on any board to give attribution to the original source. It's also something that LC felt strongly about, for good reason. It's not personal. In any event, since you offered, can you please post up the research you did/found to support the stats you posted? Thanks.

Well............I do still have a coon skin cap. I keep it tidy with afro sheen. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Blindgreed1 - 12-04-2015 Australian Institute of Criminology, Crime Prevention Research Center, National Center for Policy Analysis RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Maggot - 12-04-2015 On a side note VOX is right up there with the national enquirer that's sold in most supermarkets when checking out. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - HairOfTheDog - 12-04-2015 I like VOX for images and they source their data, so difference of opinion Mags. I like the Daily Mail for photos too, though I typically disregard their content if it's unsourced. Anyway, I don't care who likes what sources and that's not subject to board/internet protocol. But, if you copy and paste opinion/content that you did not author, you need to give credit to the original source. It's not difficult. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Maggot - 12-04-2015 I agree as there were a few lawsuits going on that specifically targeted sites that did not identify sources. That has kinda calmed down as 60% of the suits were dismissed but they are still out there........watching........waiting.

It's not difficult. Mock would get in some shit if anyone cared to pursue a complaint. I haven't had to think about that in a long time because everyone is pretty good about crediting their source but I have received emails in the past regarding content. I've also received emails from people whose stories have been posted in Mock. They have found their name on Mock after googling themself, they request the info be taken down but I always decline. Mock isn't obligated to do that when it's public knowledge.

Great work in here today folks! Thanks for the tirade, but tl;dr But for a swing and a miss, sure looks like it touched a nerve...again. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - afraidforallofus - 12-04-2015 Crime stats are irrelevant. The simple fact of the matter is that we haven't had a mass shooting in NINETEEN years. The US has one a DAY. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - F.U. - 12-04-2015 At the rate we reproduce and allow people to enter our country, either legally or illegally, we could have two a day and we wont run out of people . . . ever. Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Maggot - 12-04-2015 (12-04-2015, 10:31 PM)afraidforallofus Wrote: Crime stats are irrelevant.

RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Mohammed - 12-06-2015 Ok, so it's one a week, big freakin' deal. It's becoming somewhat of an American Tradition, like Halloween or Thanksgiving, just so much more often. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Maggot - 12-06-2015 WOODLAND, Wash. — Officials in Cowlitz County say a southern Washington man managed to keep a pair of suspected burglars at bay until the cops showed up. Now, the local sheriff's office is applauding his efforts. He even made the perps call 911 on themselves. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - afraidforallofus - 12-06-2015 353 mass shootings (at least four victims, not mass killings) year to date http://shootingtracker.com/wiki/Mass_Shootings_in_2015 Australia, none since 1996 RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Duchess - 12-06-2015 It used to be quite shocking when this type of thing occurred, not so much anymore. If anything, I feel blase. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - Maggot - 12-06-2015 The statistic on gun deaths in Oz is a stretch. RE: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY? - afraidforallofus - 12-06-2015 I might avoid Colombia......... You're talking deaths but I'm talking mass shootings |
