Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: America is no longer gun-shy about gun control [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)23. Hilarity....
        First, heres a bit of hilarity that everyone here should see:
....I don't vouch explicitly for any stats because gun violence even tho it's out in the open is so swept under the rug by the lawmakers, (politicians) bureaucracy (fbi) and nra (lobbyists..) 
That's you two posts up talking about how you don't vouch for the numbers you're providing.
Now heres you just a few posts later, casting aspersions toward me for questioning numbers that you yourself say very plainly that you don't vouch for:
...you are probably looking at an NRA site so that is FUBARED as far as stats are concerned
You just gave yourself away. Oops.
victims parties can still sue...doesn't mean JS (jk sht)but you know this
Actually it does mean something. it means manufacturers can not be sued for the third party misuse of a legally sold product. And that is as it should be.
and yes the number reported was over 33 thousand..
That number doesn't represent 'homicide' with a firearm', it represents homicides and suicides.
So you are wrong.
no credibility and you have no solutions
Says the poster who I have interacted with all of twice now.

        The number of gun related deaths is 33k. The majority of which are suicides not murders

        Your interlocutor is having a time-out. Something about gun control seems to induce logorrhea...

        It's a sad sight to witness otherwise intelligent people in the throes of false consensus effect
