When you state a "fact", you have to back it up with real data.

I would guess that drug dealing boys are responsible for most gun violence.

Note I said "I would guess".

Yep. Men are statistically more violent. Why give any of them weapons or jobs of authority?

The vast majority of Police and military abuse of power is done by males, as well.

I know why the OP started this thread though. He's being satirical about the "why are women allowed to vote" thread. A satirical question deserves a satirical answer.

Only those men who perceive their lack of manhood.

Some people are simply pragmatic. I am a pragmatist, if someone breaks into my home, and threatens my family in any way, their life is forfeit. I can fix the walls or replace the carpet. A couple of Glasers will do the trick.

Which category would you say you fall into?

Oh is that it? He texts as if English is not his first language.. There are several threads from guys in NJ which are anti gun here.

The Democrats can bring on the Burqas for all I care, but my wife won't be seen in one of them either.

Who's in charge of the giving and taking?

All gun violence is against someone without gun.

If everyone owns gun, then gun violence will be down if not complete eliminated.

If you read any history, strong country never fight another strong country. They might have cold wars, but never actual attack. It is always strong country invade the wake one.

Yup, men have been more violent than women for over 200,000 years, what's your point?

You want all men to walk around limp wristed and when they meet other men say "hello honey"?

Discuss? What's to discuss..I'm sure men are by far the major weapon the gun owners as well as the majority responsible for violence with any weapon or no weapon....don't male it about guns.

What I would like to know is, let's just say men are not allowed to own gun any more...what would you like to do with the 300,000,000+ guns floating around in the country presently. What's the point of wasting time attacking the NRA calling for gun control, when it's way, way, way, way past the point of ever being controlled. People are better off working with the NRA to get more gun safety...that's doable and they'd be allies with something like that...using technology to do it.
