They should listen to Obama

I guess irony is the word of the day, that and Poweball!
Guns aren't banned in Chicago. It is illegal to have a magazine that holds more than 15 rounds and you have to report when a gun is stolen or when you sell one. The NRA can say anything to the gun nuts and they'll believe it.
 
Murders are actually down in Chicago over the last ten years compared to the prior ten years. But since the NRA says different you can just keep ignoring math. The last ten years there have been 4,652 murders and the prior there were 6,365 so if you believe in math you might find this interesting.


I don't think I have once quoted the NRA nor any figures provided by the NRA, Cumshot.

In fact, crime is down overall, thanks in large part to the explosion of gun owners and people concealed carrying. No easy targets....

You might not of quoted their figures but you quoted their bullshit talking points. If Chicago's murder rate is dropping then it isn't some sort of horrible problem, is it? No, it's improving which is what we want it to do. But you just keep on believing that it's because people have guns (another NRA talking point). And if you really want to be a "patriot" and "piss off some liberals" you should go buy a bunch of guns and ammo today just to show 'em. That way you can do EXACTLY what the NRA wants you to do and they can continue to laugh at you for funding them by wasting your money on a bunch of shit you could never possibly need.
 
But if you wish to speak of ignoring posts, then I suggest you go back earlier in this thread in which I talk about how in the UK, home burglary to use just one example but also all kinds of other crimes are out of control. Compared to Texas, burglars are laughing here in the UK.


Texas has 6.8 burglaries per 1,000 people - http://txdps.state.tx.us/crimereports/14/citCh3.pdf
The U.K. Has 5 per 1,000 people - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_statistics_in_the_United_Kingdom

Nice try though.

And even if you were right, which I've shown you're not, I'd rather be burgled than shot and killed. Though if I'm in Texas, I've a higher chance of both.

Now, any chance you can come back to why Western Europe has as many people as Yanky Land but 300x less gun deaths? Do you think it may have something to do with the availability of guns?

I'm aware of that, I was trying to make light of Moriati's rather confusing post. Anyway, have you bought a powerball ticket?

It's pretty obvious that you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, but do you have to call everyone a name when replying to them each time?

There is a reason they're referred to as "gun nuts" and not "people who are rational when it comes to firearms". But your tool/shed comment shows that you already understand that.

As I said earlier, nobody hates burglars more than I. But are you really seriously saying that you believe it right, and proportionate, and justifiable, to shoot and kill a burglar. Its not the Wild West, we have standards where two wrongs can never make a right.

Especially when the burglary rate is higher in Texas than the UK anyway.
