I obviously can not answer your questions.
It is not obvious to me. You continue to take the time to comment and yet you continue to claim you do not have the time to answer
all of our questions. Fine, you don't have to answer them all. You can answer a select few, take your time and pick a couple. Do your research and reply when you do have the time.
You still have not answered my question. The best answer I heard was lock the criminal up. Great idea. I'm tired of you liberals critizing me.
Now, that is completely uncalled for. Calling me a... a... I have trouble even repeating the word... a
LIBERAL. You take that back.
Again many have answered your question but the answer is not what you wanted, or expected, to hear. History shows that more guns leads to less crime or, at best, has little effect on crime.
What you continue to talk about is
gun crime. I fail to seem how the implements used in crime affects the outcome. Theft, rape, murder, are all still a crime without the use of a gun. What gun registration does is create more laws to be broken. Laws that tend to be broken only by those with the intent to break other crimes. By this logic if you wish to reduce gun crime then reduce the laws restricting the ownership and trade of firearms.
If you don't care about the 30,000 people each year who dies from guns, just say so. My statisitics can not be refuted when using neutral sources. We can stop the gun violence. Let's join together to solve the gun problem.
I don't think anyone here is so sadistic to not care that 30,000 deaths occur each year. I did a bit of checking with the CDC about your claim of 30,000 deaths due to firearms and I found the number to be about right. What I also found is that about 30,000 committed suicide. About half of those suicides were with the use of a firearm. If find it quite disingenuous to claim that we could have saved 16,000 people from themselves by removing firearms from their homes. Especially since 15,000 people found ways to end their lives without the aid of a firearm.
661 deaths were because of accidental discharge of a firearm. (Before I continue I must point out that some of these may actually be suicides but rules as "accidents" by LEOs not wanting to see a family distraught over the thought of a suicide, or lack of being able to collect life insurance.)
To put that into some perspective there were 47,000 automotive deaths. 18,000 by falls, 19,000 by poisoning, and 16,000 by "other and unspecified" among many other means that people have died accidentally.
Out of the 16,000 deaths by assault 11,000 were by firearms and 5,000 by other means. The CDC doesn't track who died by who's hand. A large number may have been criminals falling victim to other criminals, police, or their intended victims.
So let's take another look. 30,000 (actually I think the number is closer to 28,000 but close enough) people died by firearm. More than half are suicides. About 1,000 were accidental, undetermined, or other. Then there were 11,000 deaths by assault with a firearm. This is from what I think many would agree to be a neutral source, the CDC.
I don't see a gun problem here. I see a suicide problem, and/or a crime problem. If you want to lower firearm deaths then I suggest you look into suicide intervention. Taking firearms used for sport, defense, collectible value to reduce such deaths is like using a hand grenade to get a housefly.
