So I'm not supposed to have an opinion unless I've been shot at?
Anyone can live where they want.
Based on your view, I need to move to a hell hole of a city?
 

Personally I think you in usa passed the point of "no return" many moons ago on this issue - the othe worlds with their own gun issues and problems say South America are only interested in their own mortalities ; uk is learning to deal with knives not guns mainly ; the scandanavians scratch their heads and just wonder - africa - well lets not go there big problems probably caused by the 'whites' originally - how's russia doin atm? guns gallore?? - we seem to be a species who are always on the verge of self-destruction heh?

still I think the women of the world have the best answers but who is gonna listen to them heh?
 
Ah no anyone "can't live where they want" for many reasons, principally economic. Besides every one has the right to life and liberty which, imho, far outranks the right to possess weapons.

Agreed on the women.

Funny, you believe everyone has the right to life, but as long as they don't have the right to protect their life?
And there there is 'Liberty' you profess.....well, being free from oppressive restrictions is the definition of 'Liberty', yet you think we should be oppressed by restrictions of having weapons.
So your views conflict each other. Can't have it both ways.

And no, anyone can live where they want. If you are so knowledge about where I live, you would know we have one of the largest welfare programs in the country.

And lets not talk about where you live.....out in the middle of nothing, far away from urban violence. So, by your standards, you shouldn't have an opinion either.

FYI.....14% of citizens own guns in Massachusetts....61% of Idaho citizens own guns....just another contradiction in the long list you have.

Sounds like your prayers and thoughts need to be closer to home my friend.
 
biblically referencing wasn't the first weapon recorded apart from the 'apple' a rock when one brother killed the other - the first sign of hatred and desire to kill and now it continues for evermore?? - we do seem to be a self-destructive species but so to sometimes are chimps and many other creatures when threatened or their young threaten - no greater braveness is a mother for her child? - so rocks guns ; spears ; whatever - overall we do not seem to be a peaceful species of summat?
 
Wayne, you quoted me as follows. But I Never Said It!!!
I assume it was just a mistake on your part, but a brief explanation on your part would be appreciated.

Look alikes are all they are, also the lightest powered, shooting a .224 diameter projectile. Also not a shotgun so not used in waterfowl hunting and some states do not allow .22 cal used for deer hunting. If you can afford it and pass the checks, plus waiting close to a year to take possession you can get the real thing. So after living a crime free life and passing all the required checks should not even be considered?”
 
Some countries now issuing travel advisories for the USA.

"At least seven nations have issued advisories to their citizens who intend on traveling to the U.S., citing serious safety concerns in recent years. New Zealand, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Venezuela and Uruguay have each urged precaution for travelers when visiting the U.S., due in large part to gun violence."

Can't blame them because US gun violence is pervasive.

have you got a referencingn for that? - it might be increasing although I doubt it - it comes and goes in waves - but then again gun ownership may also not be pervasive just seems so?

Lower IQ can play an important role in criminal violence …

”A prison inmate’s IQ, as well as the average IQ of a prison unit, can play a role in predicting violent prison misconduct, according to a recently published UT Dallas study.” …
“Previous research has shown the link between IQ and crime in society.”
https://news.utdallas.edu/social-sciences/study-prison-inmate-intelligence-influences-miscon/

Like it or not US criminal violence, whether in prisons or our crowded cities, is related to IQs in our varied population.
