Because everyone owns a gun and were raised to be polite.

Unlike the crime ridden parts of metro USA, where law abiding people are oppressed from owning a gun.

Tough strict gun laws are in place, where there are large populations of black Americans. It has been like that since the end of slavery.


In 1871, the northern run federal government, freaked out that the former confederate states were going to give freemen, their full 2nd amendment rights. It has perpetuated from there.

If that works for guns, then, well, since the law making murder illegal didn't prevent Roof from massacring 9 people, let's make murder legal, and all this is moot!!!

Gun laws, have a side effect of increased crime....


Funny how that works.




If everyone was armed, the bad evil individual that is really a coward, will really have to think hard how he will sustain maximum casualties.

If you exclude the American ghettos, gun crime rates are consistent with the rest of the world.

It's funny that you actually believe your own ridiculousness. Who puts in place the gun control laws? The state? The city? Tell me, who is it.

No?

I haven't. Anyone know anyone whose guns have been grabbed?

Quite the bit of hyperbole there.

You would in fact be wrong. Just ask those who had their guns confiscated during hurricane Katrina.

Yeah, you are right.....I just give my property to the bat***t crazy cousin all the time. I'm the most generous person in the world!


Do you people even listen to your own insanity? What property have you given to people you hardly know?

sigh.....

Take the cities of Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore and St Louis and set them aside. That makes the United States one of the safest countries in the entire world.

What do all of those crap hole cities have in common?

-Run by democrats nearly exclusively for 50 years
-Tight gun laws.

I see a theme here.......

I just explained it above.

Gun crime is only "outrageous" in gun control areas. Run by gun control advocates. The rest of the country is pretty safe.

outrageous, huh?

It is so hard to read the words, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED, and try to change the meaning of those very words.
It would be an infringement of the very thing that shall not be infringed. The right of the people. Not the power of the government.

But then comes... Are you a person(an individual with liberties), or a citizen( a subject of the state)
this video needs a repost.

the gun grabbers want us to believe that the constitutional amendments decided to just skip individual rights with the 2nd Amendment while the others protected them
