Another way to make crowd situations less tense is to moo loudly.
Always gets a laugh, defuses things.

so wwnj, you have three guns, how many times do we have to repeat no one is coming in the black helicopters to take them away. Although judging by your posts, you are mentally unbalanced and have decidely violent rhetoric (insert homey anecdote her, chuckle! head pat)

If the laws change and your unregistered assault weapon is at that point illegal, you would be obligated to turn it in (in Australia the gov bought em back, a good investment imho). If you don’t turn it in and you use it, even to defend yourself, I would support mandatory sentencing for use of illegal guns. Yes, even for self defense. You don’t need an assault weapon and full body armor to scare off a burglar.

Just curious, but did you use the stock of your boomstick to savagely beat your dog? You should be sure to put the safety on, wouldn’t want any accidents to happen while you abuse your animals. You should also consider taking the round out of the chamber. Just some friendly suggestions for the next time you beat the crap out of your dog.

Selected 2005 from that page because it easily answered the question. homicides, suicides, suicides by gun. A direct comparison.

But here is what debate has come to with wwnjs: you can’t even do basic math. Knarly put up a stat that happens to be, you know, true. As in reality. The first gulf war was less than 25 years ago. It directly stated that was part of the comparison. But you can’t even parse simple factual statements. This is less than that. 2+2=4

Look it up.

No one is going to take away your lil boomstick lil ricky, but there might be some common sense approaches we might want to try to reduce the likelihood of military grade weapons being used for yet another tragedy. Just saying…

But your argument boils down to "BOOM! ratatatat! scary! also, spanking! because socialism! durp"

$10 sez Mrs Lanza was a Republican. Current reports are that she was getting close to $250k a year in alimony (that puts the husband at around twice that? mb less?) She was a doomsday prepper (how many Ds or Is fall for that Glenn Beck bullshit? no one. zero.) She had at least 4 guns. She enjoyed shooty 'sports' (but not hunting, I'm ok with hunting sustainably and lawfully). Her love of the wwnj gun culture got a lot of people killed. Oh, wait, he was a vegan (citation pls?)

Who cares what the ratio is between murders in America and the deaths of soldiers in Iraq, why not compare it to Gettysburg? Why not the first Gulf war?

And the wwnj answer is “more guns!” It would be funnier that so many Americans actually listen to those idiots if it wasn’t also so sad and pathetic.

from wikipedia on gun violence in the US:

The incidence of homicides committed with a firearm in the US is much greater than most other advanced countries. In the United States in 2009 United Nations statistics record 3.0 intentional homicides committed with a firearm per 100,000 inhabitants; for comparison, the figure for the United Kingdom, with very restrictive firearm laws (handguns are totally prohibited, for example) was 0.07, about 40 times lower, and for Germany 0.2.[43]

For another comparison, Switzerland has one of the highest gun ownership rates in the world, with somewhere between 1.2 to 3 million guns in the private residences of its approximately 8 million citizens. In 2006 there were 34 recorded murders or attempted murders with a gun, representing a firearm homicide rate of 1 per 250,000.[44]

facts is so dang lib!

hey wwnj are you going to post another Christmas eve barn burner? (note, do not actually burn a barn) Another raging screed of wrong wing nutter craziness that really puts us stoopid libs in our sheep-like place? Why don’t you just let all the racism, sexism, jingoism, stoopidism and so forth just flow (as usual). It really says something when you take the time on Christmas eve to misspell another load of fucked-in-the-head wrong wing gibberish.

In the United States
annual firearm homicides total
2005: 10,158

annual firearm suicides total
2005: 17,002 (out of 32,559 total suicides ’05)

wwnj answer: more guns! hurf durf! because spanking! stoopid libs!
