Why don't politicians actually do something about gun deaths?

And here's something else that shows the inanity of your argument/position.

You give statistics, and make the claim, that under most situations the populace doesn't need to worry about 'gun violence'.

Then you make the claim (unsubstantiated by fact) the 'libs' are 'coming to get everyone's guns' which has at its basis the assumptions that living in America IS dangerous, AND that you NEED your guns for protection in this 'dangerous' America'

You DO see the absurdity of such an argument, don't you?

Yes, which is why I never made such a stupid argument. Those are your words, not mine. Do you really have to be such a typical liberal ass?

Heather Mac Donald is the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal. She is a recipient of the 2005 Bradley Prize:

This is exactly what I have trying to relay on here for quite some time, but since it makes sense and goes against the liberal agenda, I'm a racist.

No, your views are racist not because of some imagined 'liberal agenda' but because they are demeaning, discriminatory, and anti persons of color.

MacDonald is a closeted racist and 'conservative' (read racist) RW apologist.

Her adapted article in Imprimis - which I receive from Hillsdale and read - is simply racist apologetics and attacks and founded on faulty premise.

That the cowgirl would use it - and that you would agree with it - doesn't surprise me at all.

PS: don't either of you cry about the use of 'cowgirl' as it is apropo.  You can't be such a girly to claim America is SO dangerous that you need guns to protect yourself and then claim America doesn't need to worry about gun violence all while presenting yourself as a 'cowboy' without placing yourself firmly in the 'sissy' - hence 'cowgirl' - category.   :biggrin:

Typical progressive liberal response which is to divert, deflect, deny, and dismiss. That means you have absolutely no intention of actually addressing the topic, which is why our political classes (and you) refuse to address the real gun death problem, which is suicides and minority crime.

I see you're not addressing anything, cowgirl.   :biggrin:

You don't appear to have any argument, or skills. 

Anyway, what about that Second Amendment argument?

Since you can't defend your original flawed mish-mash.   :biggrin:

The fact is, if you're not suicidal, not a criminal, not a brave police officer, not an inner city gang member, and stay out of those bad neighborhoods, your chance of being shot in the US is near zero! There is no gun crisis in America.

Quote from: DC3Cowboy on July 21, 2016, 09:52:32 AM
Because they want to disarm us and do away with the Second Amendment, so they need those statistics in order to justify it. After all, if they stopped 90+% of all gun deaths, there'd be no issue and no excuse to disarm Americans, would there?

The real question then, is why they want to disarm We, the People? What do they have in mind?

So, oh, but you did.   :wink:

Doesn't sound like they want to disarm We, the People.

Well, I guess I'm going to have to wait until the next time I drop in to see if the cowgirl makes himself a useful RW idjit - instead of a useless one.

Hell, maybe ole' Hank can help him...

...NOT!   :razz:

It's now obvious that if you're looking for a civil discussion with adults, you won't find it here. Sneers, jeers, juvenile 'cowgirl' nic-twisting, and the obvious progressive-liberal circle-jerk has convinced me, so have a great time and goodbye.

It is fun, most of the time, to see them make fools of themselves when they can't come up with a valid argument and see them resort to name calling and childish behaviour.

This isn't a progresive-liberal circle jerk.  There are at least 2 that tip to the conservative side around here.

You came in and made an unsubstantiated claim in your very first post.  It was pointed out to you a couple of times.  Unfortunately, you then met Y who is an absolute expert at holding ones feet to the fire when making unsubstantiated claims.

I invite you to stick around.  You're just going to have to have your facts in order.
