Is it time to talk about guns?

If you didn't attack the Capitol of Michigan, or the one at Washington DC, then it's not about you. The point I think is that some who desire assault style weapons think they have a right to do as they wish after acquiring the dangerous tool.

 

A mass murderer is not using freedom of choice, he is trespassing on the freedom of others.

 

I don't want to answer that question, but it took a lot less than that.

 

I know all about AK and AR and FAL and G3

 

Children of Alcoholics | Impact & Effects of Alcoholic Parents (drugrehab.com)

Children of alcoholics are four times more likely than other children to develop an alcohol addiction. While about 50 percent of this risk has genetic underpinnings, the actual home environment also plays a role.

Research shows that a child’s risk of becoming an alcoholic is greater if their alcoholic parent is depressed or suffers from other co-occurring disorders. Their risk also goes up if both parents are addicted to alcohol and other drugs, if the alcohol abuse is severe and if there is violence in the home.

Alcohol is a drug so feel free to substitute the substance of choice

Children of Alcoholics: Are They Different?

An estimated 6.6 million children under the age of 18 years live in households with at least one alcoholic parent (1). Current research findings suggest that these children are at risk for a range of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral problems. In addition, genetic studies indicate that alcoholism tends to run in families and that a genetic vulnerability for alcoholism exists .

so while not all are destined to be their certainly is a predisposition

 

So, you would be in favour of expanding expenditure on welfare and social programmes, upgrading and building up public housing and introducing universal healthcare?

 

Hehe
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

 

You're on the "team" that rewards and encourages poor choices and failed responsibility (as long as they're beholden to you) while simultaneously demanding an impeccable level of personal responsibility for those who bring attention to the hypocrisy.

And if that's not enough, demand "equal treatment" (but only for the things that you perceive to provide political advantage).

If someone chooses to attempt murder with an assault weapon (hammer), do you support that freedom of choice?
If someone chooses to allow free access, or chooses to support someone's "right" to owning hammers which are easily used as assault style weapons, do you support that freedom of choice?

 

So... how would one go about killing 9 and injuring 27 in 32 seconds... with a hammer.

That's what they want to do to us, to effectively disarm us while still being able to make a weasel claim that they haven't infringed on the second amendment.

Then of course law abiding citizens will comply, criminals will gladly outgun them while laughing at the law.

Our best course of action is to teach people how to use firearms.

 

So, rather than direct our efforts to get people to make better choices for their kids, we want to concentrate our energy on limiting firearms access to the citizenry???

And then use that as part of the argument???

Wow. Flamboyant hypocrisy at its best. Exposed.

 

Which would very much seem to back up what I’ve been saying – you are very happy to spend a lot of time and energy in the promotion of the gun lobby stance which seems to be greatly if not wholly based on the idea of tackling symptoms – but have given little or no thought to something that might tackle the causes.

So, would you be in favour of expanding expenditure on welfare and social programmes, upgrading and building up public housing and introducing universal healthcare?
