So if I’m understanding you, you’re saying that states with the strictest gun control laws have the highest rates of gun violence? Are you sure?

I'm not playing cherry-picked statistics. In every case, the gun violence problem is relegated to cities, and even within those cities, it's generally clustered around a few neighborhoods. The anti-gun crowd thusly makes sure that their studies are on a statewide basis. That was the point I was making about the criminality being clustered.
Nonetheless, I'm not engaging any further. If it makes you feel better, you can say you won an argument against a brain-dead right-wing troglodyte who ran away. I don't care.

So “To Protect And To Serve” means nothing? I know many members of law enforcement who would disagree with your assessment. They put their lives on the line for us every single day.
Some of these posts have really jumped the shark. The problem with threads like these is that you lose respect for certain members and can never really think of them the same way again. I recall this happening at the beginning of COVID also, when some members were downplaying it and calling it a conspiracy. Maybe it would be best to end this.
Dan, you're one of my favorite members here. I feel a lot of sentimental affection for quite a few members here, moderators too. It's not required that respect be lost here over Forum debate.
Yeah, interesting to see where some people get their news.
In some locales that can work both ways though.
Sadly, this won't play well here on the Omega Forum, but when our collective "sheeple" attitude doesn't protect us then we may be assured of having all of the crime that we are willing to put up with. What is needed is some "starch in our collective drawers." I'm with Larry S.
Old photo, but the essential equipment remains the same or similar. Discrete, concealed carry is legal here in Texas. There is very little of that sort of nonsense here except in certain "armpit" areas within the state, areas that most thoughtful people avoid.
Army vet here who was an Expert marksman and Training NCO who ran rifle ranges for people to qualify annually. I am not afriad of or unfamiliar with guns.
No civilian should have an AR15 or similar weapon.
No one under 25 should own a weapon.
The US constitution allows firearms for a well armed militia, which was at the time when the US did not have a standing army. It's not for self-protection or mob rule.
Households with guns are twice as likely to suffer a gun related shooting and 6 times as likely to have a gun related suicide as non-gun owning households.
States with strong gun rules are being over taken by people allowed to cross state lines to purchase a weapon in a state with lax laws, as in the recent Chicago shooting. A national law is needed.
Gun ownership in America is not about freedom and liberty; it's about making money.
this is the worst thread on OF.
