Poll Question: Poll Question : Is Gun Violence Real?

So I was randomly thinking about this the other day and something occurred to me that kinda ticked me off.

Why would "It's not the guns, it's the killers" be an acceptable answer for doing nothing?

Seriously... The end result will be the same whether the gun violence is related to guns or not.

If you TRULY believe that gun violence is a natural phenomenon, then why aren't you demanding the scientists find a solution? We demand technological solutions to millions of natural things all the time.... from bridges and ferries to get vehicles across water, to cancer cures to vaccines and antibiotics.

If this "natural cycle" answer was anything other than a bs answer to avoid explaining why you don't want to have gun regulations, then you'd be trying to get someone with brains to find a solution, not just shrugging it off.

** Standard disclaimer, I don't care about gun laws, don't care about the life-span of the NRA past the next 50 years (my expected lifespan) I just get irritated when people give stupid answers to things. Just say you don't care... I'm fine with that.






Sorry, Victor.

I'm not against regulations... I'm against more regulations... enforce what we already have.. and it really doesn't matter if we do nothing or confiscate all the guns.... if someone wants to kill a bunch of kids they're gonna do it.... 😟

Keep prescribing more and more anti-depressants & it won't matter how many types of "guns" you outlaw.
Most of the shooters were hopped up on prescription goodies.

Gunpowder will be next, followed by arsenic, radioactive isotopes, and running with scissors with intent to maim. 🤤


Not to sound too Victorish, er, partikoolar but can you give us more options?

I'd like to think that the imposition of Robot Overlords would clear this mess up.

I find this whole liberal hyperventallation about gun violence both funny and sad.

First, liberals are the first to tell us that between conception and birth, what grows in a woman's womb is nothing but "tissue." It;s not human.

Now we have people in places like Oxford questioning whether you're actually human once you're born.

And if you're old and sick, well, euthanasia is more than acceptable. We starve "braid dead" people even though there are people willing to put up their money and time to care for these individuals.

Then these same people lecture us about how there is no God, and how morality is all "relative."

They were the same people who stamped their feet for no-fault divorce, so they could cut their ties with their spouse whenever some new, fresh tail comes long, or when they feel the need to go "find themselves." Nevermind what it does to their kids.

And then they wonder openly why - after destroying the traditional moral structure, the ever-present family unit that reinforces these moral views, and the nothin that human life is sacred - people become unhinged and kill little children.

If mommy and daddy didn't give a crap about you enough to keep the family together, you're constantly told that the most innocent, and helpless of us are just "tissue", and you're then told that there is no God looking over your shoulder and that there will be a price to pay once you die...well, there's no limiting the horrors you can inflict on others.




I think modern-day liberals have de-evolved. It would explain a lot.

You show me an "evolved" human. I'll show you a really good PR firm.

Devolution, however, happens all the time.

In other words like yourself for saying such a thing. Personally I take comments like that a little more serious than others, been married to my wife who although is not MR, since early childhood she's been wheelchair bound diagnosed with CP (cerebral palsy) normally wouldn't say anything just, but not today.
