with 300M guns in this country, the distinction between legal and

Now we all *know* you're stupid.

ah. so you think there's some way to track and control 300M guns


Good God, no! Why would we even WANT to track guns. There should be another
300M, at least. I'm thinking about buying a Walther PPK/S for my wife, in
fact.


thanks for making my point.


Your only point is sticking up between your shoulders.

the defense rests


The "defense" has some case!

obviously because 'leniency' is just another figment of the right's
imagination


Wrong. As long as loony lefty judges, and politicians, keep turning them out,
they'll keep killing.


let me type this slowly so you can understand


You'd better learn to think, first.

the US has the highest incarceration rate in the entire world


Good! More deserve to be there!

we have more prisoners than china. china has 5X our population


You have a point (other than the one mentioned above)?

where is your data that shows judges are lenient?


Recidivism. Not enough executions.

oh. rush told you.


Your dipstick is low.

i rest my case


You're illiterate, like most kids your age, too.

The U.S. does have a large prison population. We use guns to contain
prisoners based on classification and propensity towards violence.

Our penal systems are admired around the world as the best run
facilities in the world.

The Federal system only has 209,494 (Last updated on January 6, 2011 )
Up from 52, 000 in 1979. You can look the daily count for each state,
though.

What is really neat is that we don't harvest body parts from prisoners
and sell them on the black market.

Next!


Aren't most of the prisoners in there because of drug charges?


No. I saw a study a little while back of the NYS penal system. There was
*ONE* person incarcerated for drug offenses alone.

if gun ownership causes a DECREASE in violence like you say it does

It certainly does. Check out violence in areas where it is legal carry (and
easy to obtain *legal* firearms) and areas that don't.

gee then why does the US have the highest rate of homicide in the
westen world?


why are we the most viotent developed country in the world?

A lie.

This is glaring proof that you're a liar.


oh. you cant read a chart.


I certainly can read. It's *you*, kid, who is illiterate.

yeah, you're right wing alright


I certainly am! You're a leftist loser, likely living in mommy's livingroom.

Ok, 8.1% 7.6%

Not so different and a *lot* better than, say, Kalifornica at 12.4%.

look at VERMONT,which has had both open and concealed carry with NO
permit,for many years,and no problem with it.


I know. I lived there for 15 years. However, they also are one of the
highest taxed states in the union, so I'll pay my $20/yr for my permit, and
save $4500 on my property taxes.

It seems it's the crowded cities where guns are mostly prohibited where
most of the crime is committed. Like Detroit,Chicago,NYC,DC,etc.


True, that's where *most* of the lefties are, too. VT would ban guns, too, if
the legislators thought they'd live long enough (it's been tried more than
once).

you really ARE not too bright..


uh huh. tell you what. you go to turkey and try to compare it to
germany, OK? why do you think turks leave turkey to go to germany??


So, all developed nations have identical economies, identical levels of
infrastructure, they all have to be of a certain size? Are you under the
impression that Turkey is just now thinking about getting electricity and
telephones?


gee. what's the per capita income of germany? of turkey?

oh. you wont answer.

yeah. i already knew that


and when brazil becomes developed you let me know.


Brazil is rapidly becoming one of the world's leading economic powers, you
need to read something that doesn't involve super-heroes in capes.


now let's see...brazil has a leftist president. brazil has reduced
poverty faster than any country in recent history by taxing the rich
and giving incentives to the middle class and poor to develop

but to the american right that's SOCIALISM. and here you are telling
us what a wonderful country they are.

oh...by the way...which country just sent the ARMY into a major city
to take it back from drug dealers?

uh...brazil...yeah. that's a developed country alright


Within the U.S. most homicides by firearm involve young minority men


oh. other countries dont have minority men?


Of course they do, so what? The point is that the majority of shooting
homicides in the U.S. occur in a small segment of the population.


and yet other countries have minorities. but there is no wholesale
slaughter like we have here

and that bring up an intersting poing. if it were nice, white suburban
kids killing each other, wonder if gun control would be more
popular...

think racism is a factor?


fine. when you can show that this chart ISNT true


Right after you credibly dispute anything I posted, sunshine.


done.


You're a bit odd, aren't you.


no, just a logical thinker. something the american right abhors

So whenever the facts don't fit your slogan (which is most of the time) you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarce..._United_States
"Violent crime was not responsible for the quadrupling of the
incarcerated population in the United States from 1980 to 2003.
Violent crime rates had been relatively constant or declining over
those decades. The prison population was increased primarily by public
policy changes causing more prison sentences and lengthening time
served, e.g. through mandatory minimum sentencing, "three strikes"
laws, and reductions in the availability of parole or early release.
These policies were championed as protecting the public from serious
and violent offenders, but instead yielded high rates of confinement
for nonviolent offenders. Nearly three quarters of new admissions to
state prison were convicted of nonviolent crimes. Only 49 percent of
sentenced state inmates were held for violent offenses. Perhaps the
single greatest force behind the growth of the prison population has
been the national "war on drugs." The number of incarcerated drug
offenders has increased twelvefold since 1980. In 2000, 22 percent of
those in federal and state prisons were convicted on drug charges."

Are you quite sure that the NYS they were referring to in that
imaginary study you mentioned wasn't the Namibian Youth Soccer penal
system? That's about the only way that your BS comment could be
possible.

I did not read your link and did disagree with the comment about the
so called study.

In 1981, Bush 41 was appointed to oversee the South Florida Task
Force (War on Drugs) by President Reagan. What you mention is true.
Things got tough for sentences, the prison population went up, etc.
Along the line Parole was abolished under the newer guidelines and
such.

There was one instance when a U.S. Customs Official - GS 14 grade was
locked up ( turning his head for mother ships off the coast of
Florida). The federal jail(s) in Miami (MCC) were constantly filled
with smugglers - the entire crew of the ships. Bail Bonds, for the
first time reached over 10 Million dollars. Those were challenged in
court, but upheld to be not excessive. One Columbian posted 1 Million
in cash and disappeared back to Columbia.

When the new sentence guidelines came out the prisons filled up.

(Not to bore anyone) Miami was largely run by the Columbian "Cocaine
Cowboys". Death was everywhere.

Even the lawyers were slimy....

Very good point. Rights come with responsibilities, and IMO if someone
wants to pack they should have to take a training course in safe
handling,
local firearms laws and shooting proficiency, and demonstrate every five
years that they can still pass the test.


Which should also be required for driving a car. Every 7 years until
you're 50, every 5 years until you're 65 and then every 3 years until
the car is sold at the estate sale.


If it were up to me the test for a driver's license would be a lot more
difficult than it is. The last time I had to actually take the test (rather
than renew by mail) I aced it, the examiner said he hadn't seen that for a
couple of months--I was astonished. It almost seems to me like the test has
been dumbed-down to the point where you'd almost have to work at it to fail.

Based on your definition of proper training, the vast majority of police
officers have never and will never receive proper training. Thanks for
clearing that up.


Actually I'd tend to agree with that. I know two guys who test SWAT-style
teams, they routinely make the teams look like imbeciles. One of their
favorite stunts is tricking the rescue teams into shooting hostages. The
big-city teams are usually good, but the local teams set up with federal War
On Drugs money in the past couple of decades are usually a joke. As for
street cops, their department training is usually not that impressive, which
is why cops so often shoot too much, miss too often, and sometimes shoot the
wrong people.

Given that he is carpet-chewing crazy, maybe he didn't finish that part of

Based on your definition of proper training, the vast majority of police

clearing that up.


Actually I'd tend to agree with that. *I know two guys who test SWAT-style
teams, they routinely make the teams look like imbeciles. *One of their
favorite stunts is tricking the rescue teams into shooting hostages. *The
big-city teams are usually good, but the local teams set up with federal War
On Drugs money in the past couple of decades are usually a joke. *As for
street cops, their department training is usually not that impressive, which
is why cops so often shoot too much, miss too often, and sometimes shoot the
wrong people.

Default O.T. The sick gun culture. AKA Harry is our village idiot.


"Larry W" wrote in message ...

It's sad that some people would use a tragedy like this to further their
political agenda of gun control.


Even the NRA agrees that sometimes there are ways the law can be improved to
reduce gun violence. After the Virginia Tech massacre the NRA agreed that
the federal govt. should pressure the states to improve how they add names
to the instant-check list, so someone ordered by a judge to undergo
psychiatric treatment due to his threatening behavior isn't able to legally
buy a gun.

The Obama administration isn't going to push new gun laws because they know
they don't have the votes, they felt that way even before the mid-term
elections, even hardcore anti-gun legislators like Feinstein said there was
no point. There are too many Democrats from hunting & fishing states that
wouldn't support any sweeping legislation, and now they're in the minority
in the House anyway.

There is no question that Arizona, with
its "liberal" right to carry laws, is safer than areas that have very
restrictive gun ownership and carry rights. To compare a city to a city,
take a look at the per capita murder, shooting, or violent crime rates of
Phoenix and Washington DC. Our nations capital has a murder rate about 3
times
higher than Phoenix.


Look at Vermont, their approach to gun laws is almost not to have any, yet
they are usually 49th or 50th on the violent crime stats.

So many people just don't get it, it isn't just the guns, it's economics and
poverty and gangs and the failed War On Drugs and crummy schools and a host
of factors. Like the man said, guns cause crime like flies cause garbage.

The U.S. does have a large prison population. We use guns to contain
prisoners based on classification and propensity towards violence.


Our penal systems are admired around the world as the best run
facilities in the world.


The Federal system only has 209,494 (Last updated on January 6,
2011 )
Up from 52, 000 in 1979. You can look the daily count for each state,
though.


What is really neat is that we don't harvest body parts from
prisoners
and sell them on the black market.


Next!


I thought in Arizona they kept offenders in tents in the desert? The
unemployed also live in tents.


Living in tents is good enough for our Fighting Warriors. I see no
reason not to have prisoners living in tents, as long as we have
barbed wire fence around them to keep the wild animals out.


Your prison system is indeed admired over here. (But only in certain
quarters) All you need to do now is disarm the loons/populace.


Disarm the citizens? How's that working in the U.K.?- Hide quoted text -

Fine. We have much less crime than you do. As previously established
in this thread. In spite of you locking up more people. Must be
something in the drinking water.
I had never saw a gun until I was twelve. And that was in France.
I never saw a gun in the UK until I was in my twenties. I never saw a
gun fired until I was in my fifties. I never fired a gun until I was
almost sixty. (In Australia)
It was interesting for about twenty minutes. But us intellectuals are
soon bored.
Peace and quiet you see.

Harry, we're all family, I just can't stand most of my relatives and
the genetic record shows that all modern humans are descended from a

is now central Africa. Funny thing, us White folk are the mutants. :-)
