quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 quote: ORIGINAL: Kirata Comparing your rights to ours is ludicrous. http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-kingdom It's almost fair to say you don't have any. K. No it isnt, it is all about choice. I thought you were bright enough to get this, obviously not. Your link doesnt seem to work. We have choice too. Matter of fact, we can make a choice you can't. What's your point?

quote: ORIGINAL: BamaD This started when in another thread I stated "a citizen ,and somewhat less a subject has a responsibility to protect society" Polite took this as a personal insult and went wild over it even though I wasn't even talking to him at the time. I did not even interject the quote you are so upset about into the conversation but after he made such a big deal about it when someone else I put it in my tagline to put a burr under his saddle and for no other reason. A week later he tried to stir up a big fight over this which he has successfully drawn several people into. My last post to you was perhaps too harsh considering you stepped into the middle of something. Now you are just being a wanker. You threw up a slur and claimed otherwise. You made a point of asking me to come to this thread, and followed it up by asking if I had appeared, you started the name calling here, since you felt being unmoderated it was okay. You got your wish, I am here and you dont like what I have to say.......fucking laughable shit from you, as per usual. Its just a shame you cant be responsible for your own actions.

That's (bolded) changing the subject from No it isnt, it is all about choice to other than the simple fact that here we can make choices you can't. It's not that you can't own a firearm, but you sure as hell can't own what we can. Now can you? Unless you can - STFU !!!!! Choosing not to does not equate to ability to choose.

It's tantamount to the right to breathe. Both exist a priori. Simple fact is, people are intentionally shot, stabbed, suffocated, bludgeoned, etc. It's not about your right not to be [shot], it's about those who violate your right. Gun control is a symptom of the inability of ~criminal control. Gun control removes a (potentially equalizing; 90lb woman v 200lb man) tool which the criminal retains.

But then you have universal healthcare, so that may be the difference, since preventative medicine is communism here.

Now if only you could do something to keep people from being beheaded on your streets. Hmmmm, maybe some means of protecting oneself? Nah, that's just crazy talk. I'm sure as he was being hacked to death he was thinking, Thank god I'm safe from the evils of gun violence.

Mind you, congratulations to the gun freaks on doing such a great job of obliterating such things from all consideration so well and for so long. Yeah, it seems to be working quite well. You're still pushing to change the subject. So I guess it's fair to say you're willing to admit that with the UK's gun laws it's almost like not having any gun rights at all. So turning to the right not to get shot, I have a question. I understand that guns are a factor in the risk of getting shot, but is that all you care about? I ask because I'm curious how you feel about people having a right not to be assaulted, robbed, and raped. You don't mention those, but you claim it's the the "gun freaks" who are ignoring such things. It seems to me that you are the one doing that. Because a gun is a very effective factor to have on your side when it comes to not being assaulted, robbed, or raped. Would you be happy if the homicide rate went down but assaults, robberies, and rapes went up? There would be fewer dead, but more risk of assault, robbery and rape, and more victims whose quality of life has been shattered by crime. You make it sound like a simple seesaw relation that an idiot should be able to see. When the number of guns goes down, safety goes up and happiness abounds. There is no evidence that this is a general truth. K.

It's just that in other first world countries the assumption is that prevention is better than cure. Think of having a firearm as a means of prevention (against being maimed, killed, etc). That is what you are suggesting, isn't it? The cure isn't taking away the means of prevention. The cure is ~offing the criminal.

I wondered when someone would be crass enough to mention an extremist attack, I sure as hell knew someone would though.

Yes we have more murders per capita without guns than you do all together, do you see the problem with gun control being the answer.

Gun controls work, since we have very few mass killings with guns. You can count the number of mass shootings in the last 100 years on one hand. So tell me again how gun control doesnt work.

There is no evidence that this is a general truth. K. Oh I don't know about "no evidence", if we are talking about the UK. Crime Statistics from the Office of National Statistics publication released in July 2013 indicates that England and Wales had a overall 9% drop in crime. http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/crime-stats/crime-statistics/period-ending-march-2013/index.html[sm=smile.gif] Now please just spare me you customary ranting, raving, I know this will upset you but, you asked for it.

BamaD -> RE: *Unmoderated Gun rights debate - Self Defense to 2nd Amendment * (10/10/2013 11:50:42 AM)
And Florida had a 33% drop in crime when they instituted concealed carry.

It is also interesting to note that there's a link to Kleck's defense in a post before yours* on the same page. quote: ORIGINAL: Nosathro As they say the truth hurts. Normal people, yes. You, not so much it seems. K. And you did not read my post as well: " In the Degrading Scientific Standards it is Kleck attach against McDowell. Kleck has never appeared before a Science review board and the Academy of Science has declared his work not proven which is good enough me." Post 342. Ah the sun is out. [sm=hyper.gif] We cannot avoid the truth, even when it is not what we want to hear or express.
