Before some gun nut brings up Chicago as usual, it comes in at #20 on the list (per capita) in 2023. Chicago's violent crime rate is only 52% of St. Louis's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because that’s the average number of kids in a classroom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't defend yourself against an entire classroom of kids without a larger magazine. Whether it's "30-50 feral hogs" or those 30 knife-wielding toddlers with violence on their minds, high capacity magazines are the only way to keep you and your family safe.

That doesnt mean that those people obey the law. You simply cannot reasonably deny the correlation and common denominator of the prominant government in those cities.

Have all the laws you want. It will make no difference to those that want to do violence. Those people are evidently more concentrated in democrat run cities.

There are those that want to do violence in every European country too. However, because guns are much harder to obtain, they ALL have much lower murder rates than the USA. Your arguments are silly, invalid, and not supported by the data. As usual. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I made no claim that guns are the problem. Nor have I ever made that claim. you have failed to answer the question. As usual. Explain to us how the gun culture, how people with guns, how America with 400 millions guns in the hands of people is safer. or dodge the questions again of course if you cannot answer, well, that is what I would expect.

Yeah I mean what’s the use of having laws in a country that has a constitution, the supreme law. another weak frail pathetic attempt at justifying abhorrent gun violence and refusing to lift a fucking finger or move one millimeter to improve the situation for your fellow americans how very pathetic of you so there are no laws that you support because what’s the use?

Get those numbers down to a reasonable level like is had outside the city, then we'll talk. Make it a level playing field for discussion. Make people accountable.
