I take it you don't own any drills or screw drivers or chain saws. All tools someone can kill you with, many in mass murders. But the scary guns!!!!

What would help curb gun violence? More or less guns?


Those are the only choices???

Once again, small-brained liberal crafts a poll where the correct answer is not allowed.

Where's the entry for "Same number of guns but no restrictions on who can carry, so the criminal knows that someone in the crowd near his intended victim is probably armed"?

If all restrictions were lifted, most people still wouldn't bother to carry, of course. But a few would, and the criminals would know it. And they would have no idea which direction a bullet might come from as they mugged the old lady or assaulted the guy at the ATM. So a lot of them would decide not to commit their crime in the first place. Presto, a major reduction in crime, without a shot being fired.

And for the diminishing number of criminals who would go ahead and do it anyway... well, let's just say that the recidivism rate would be noticeably lower than it is now.

A win-win solution all around. And the solution that the liberals absolutely do not want.

Makes you wonder why not?

You obviously missed the entire premise of the book. He wrote about the dangers of an authoritarian government, which is how the current occupant of the White House would like to rule if he is able.

There is absolutely nothing conservative in the writings of George Orwell. You know not of what you speak, but your posts on the topic are good for a laugh.

What is the screw driver death rate versus the gun death rate?

Article IV Section 4, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form Government."

We are a republic.

No sh*t Sherlock. We’re also a liberal democracy. You can read that Wikipedia link I provided.

Hahaha Red Pill Time

So you didn't take the time to learn what Liberal Democracy means.

Liberal Democracy is based on the principles of Classical Liberalism, not modern liberalism as you have now mistakenly and foolishly assumed.

And under Classical Liberalism, gun control would be considered an alien thought. Thomas Jefferson was a Classic Liberal......
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776

Thank you for proving the argument against gun control.

Sorry, but socialism is a more authoritarian form of government than a democracy or a republic.

VS the fly planes into buildings? Run over people? You tell us. This is your expertise.


Be sure to include suicides and accidents to fluff your numbers.
