20,000 gun deaths means 20,000 responsible gun owners who failed to control their secret 19th century arsenal that is so essential to the security of a free 21st century state.
Rhetoric and bad math here.

"Every single gun used in a crime was oreginally bought by a "responsibe gun owner"

NOT true. Many of these guns are smuggled in via our southern border.

Apply every one of he over 20,000 gun laws the FIRST amendment.

Think about that for awhile.

Of course, those COMPUTERS have to be registered, to track the "responsible" owners who funneling them into the underworld.

Many anti-gunners can't look past their noses.

"OK, now I understand."

Tell me you don't know what you're talking about, without telling me you don't know what you're talking about...

I can't sneak a tangerine across, and you've got criminal running boxcar-loads going straight from the factory across the border and back, untouched by clean hands.

Complete nonsense.


First, using phrases like "awash" is just intellectually dishonest. You have NO idea how many guns in America are stolen or smuggled. Also, smuggled is another crazy term. Most guns used in homicides are perfectly legal to sell and purchase in America, so nope...they are NOT "smuggled."


Second, no rational, sane gun owner is supporting or defending those that use guns illegally in crimes or those that posses stolen guns.


The anti-gun crowd has made some statements here that range from completely false to totally bizarre. This seems to be a recurring theme around here.


As the other leftists love to say...."educate yourself" on firearms in America before making such crazy statements.

Democrats don’t care, they low law abiding gun owners generally vote Republican.

Yeah, because your tangerine isn't big money, firearms and ammunition are.

The grey and black markets for firearms and ammunition is global and very lucrative.

And seriously, millions of humans and literally tons of drugs come across the southern border annually. Pretty sure if truckloads of humans and giants bails/drums of drugs can easily cross borders, so too can firearms and ammo.
