Leftist will argue that's what we have police for. But of course, police often arrive too late. People have died waiting for the police to arrive.

Slapping bricks together doesn't simulate a gunshot

The hell it doesnt... when my buddies and I partied in long Island they did it in an alley way ditched the bricks and a couple minutes later up rolled a cop with the spot light.

I didn't believe them. Sure as heck. That thing was triggered.

Police are reporters. They arrive after you're dead and create a report of what happened.

Don't forget they're evil racists too...

So whatever it says isn't really relevant to my comments bc it would no longer exist.



there are portable battering rams that do the job.

Perhaps you would be happier living in North Korea or some other country that is willing and able to take all of your rights away.

Taking guns away from law abiding citizens does not guarantee anything. Criminals or people intent on doing harm will always be able to get guns.

You went off the deep end there. People bought guns when Obama was in office. Sales to women and minorities were up while he was in office. It has little to nothing to do with race. It's due to his anti-gun rhetoric. Not only that, but gun sales were up before Obama even took office. Gun sales to Democrats increased 10 percent.

Gun ownership by blacks in 2013 was 12 percent. By 2014 it was 19 percent. Hard to find numbers by race for previous years, but trends have shown minority gun ownership increasing for some time.

Or even worse, Society will be run by the biggest and strongest since a firearm is the only great equalizer.

There are so many guns in America, so widely distributed and so common, I would say that our gun violence rate is spectacularly low. Thank our gun culture for that.

In the 21 years after the gun grab, there were 4.19 deaths a year. 15 of those were by shootings, 36 by arson, and the remainder were stabbings, beatings and vehicular (none of which factored in before the gun grab).

After every mass killing, the gun-grabbers use the event to further their lies and agenda, often citing Australia as a success in reducing the number of deaths because they reduced the number of guns available. It's simply not true.

yeah, whatever you say.
