Really? At least try to post something that is remote plausible: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/30/us/strict-chicago-gun-laws-cant-stem-fatal-shots.html

This is a false narrative. Why not blame Mexico’s gun violence on the US then? We’re neighbor after all right? If Indiana is the issue, then why isn’t gun violence a problem in Ohio or Kentucky? I guess poverty, poor employment opportunities, broken homes, poor education, gangs, etc. have nothing to do with the issue…

So... if you disagree with someone they are a Russian troll and/or racist? Fascinating.

Indiana has control measures like all states. Are you suggesting that criminals are legally buying guns from Indiana? This is like suggesting that gun violence in Mexico is because of run laws in the US. If you refuse to acknowledge the source of a problem and instead blame proxies, then the problem will never be…

LOL - yeah... that’s the problem. If people can’t accept the real reason that violent crime happens in Chicago and instead want to outsource that blame to 3rd parties like the State of Indiana, then the problem will never get better.

The media reported that a citizen shot at the church shooter as he exited the church. The attacker got in his car and fled, followed by the citizen and another citizen that he flagged down to follow the church shooter. The driver, in pursuit of the church shooter, was on the phone to 911 to lead police to the church…

Ummm - you saw that she hit him first right?

Sure - “we” can do whatever we want to do, but repealing a constitutional amendment, besides being a bad idea, is a very involved process that stands 0% change of succeeding, so why suggest it? Unless, of course, you’re suggesting to just ignore the law of the land. If your basis for objecting to a law is that it was…

So you’re going to ignore the fact that a citizen did intervene and likely saved lives in that church or elsewhere by shooting the attacker and 1) preventing him from retrieving more weapons and 2) getting away with all of the additional firearms he had in the car to shoot up somewhere else? Shit, at least save that…

Perhaps you are the problem as you complain about what other’s say yet offer no insight of your own as to how to solve the issue. Certainly you’re not contributing anything of value - perhaps just trolling.....

True, they didn’t - at least not to the extent of the US. Also, their solution, which would be unconstitutional in the US, had no effect on their violent crime rate and their gun ownership rate in 2010 was right back to where it was before their gun confiscation program. It is almost like they learned something we’re…

This idea has been floated about but there are several issues with it. One is that not everyone is going to purchase a gun legally and another is that these exams can’t be foolproof. For example, police officers go through such an exam and not all of them turn out to be saints. Also, some people are clearly sane but…

That’s possible, or they may realize that people in the US doesn’t have the attention span/interest level to be dedicated to the longer term solutions that would really work. Simple gun regulations aren’t going to magically work now when they haven’t worked before, so that means we need to deal with poverty, mental…

Really? Ah excellent, since your insulting the person that proposed that there was no solution, that must mean that you have one. Excellent! Lets here it......

Because our focus has always been on quick, easy solutions, which is regulating the tool used to commit the crime. We fail to realize that many obtain that tool illegally, or simply use another tool to commit violence with. The issue isn’t the tool, it is the deranged lunatic using the tool to commit violence. When…

So your solution is to ignore the constitution of the United States? Ignoring the obvious fact that criminals, by their nature, don’t obey the law and this would be the only ones still owning firearms, causing the crime rate to skyrocket, I think that those opposed to firearm ownership better think of a better…

This was proven false when Obama said it and it is just as false now. You would be better-off stating that it is a problem unique to the US among first world countries. That at least would be closer to the truth. However, it still doesn’t present a solution - it simply identifies and isolated data point.

It is estimated that 39% of the US households own firearms. That number, along with the number of carry permits (concealed carry in most states) has been increasing lately.

You know who is going to turn in their guns right? The people that aren’t committing crimes. Criminals know that they can make a lot more than $1,000 with their firearm by keeping it and using it to commit robberies. Likewise, people that own firearms for sport or self-defense aren’t going to sell theirs unless it is…

This is untrue, no matter how hard you want to believe it. If you could wave a magic wand and make guns disappear in any country then yes, the gun violence rate would go down, but violent crime will be unaffected or, worse, increase as more people are unable to defend themselves. The violent crime rates for countries…
