February 24, 2013

To the Reader’s Forum: Once again New York has attempted to fix a problem by making it worse, dismissing past failures of tight gun restrictions....

The "fallacy" here is anyone thinking that any of these new measures will help stop gun crime. Except maybe if they start locking up or treating properly those that are mentally handicapped, especially those who are prone to violent outbursts and violence itself.

you heard it here first folks--the poll numbers in which 92% of Americans polled, agree with universal background check measures, are simply an "overestimate?" Would 90% or 88% or 51% be less "over estimated?" That's more than a gun debate distraction, that's a fallacy.

Joe the joke should be arrested for passing dangerous information to idiots that believe liberals.

Crazy Uncle Joe...he knows not what he says...Can anyone really take these people seriously on this topic? "Vice President Joe Biden told Field & Stream magazine in an interview published Monday, "[if] you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door."

Coincidentally, a 22-year-old man in Virginia Beach, Va., was charged Monday with reckless handling of a firearm after doing just that."

Crazy Uncle Joe does't even believe the load they're shoveling: “Nothing we’re going to do is going to fundamentally alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting or guarantee that we will bring gun deaths down to 1,000 a year from what it is now”

First of all, you overestimate your "majority" status. Secondly, unless your a member of the Pawn Sheeple, you can't possibly believe that the "national platform" is about anything other than controlling law abiding citizens. Anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge about guns knows that none of the proposals will have any effect on the areas you mention. Without massive forced registration and buybacks (ie. confiscation)implementation of "universal" background checks would be impossible to implement. As for illegal transfer, you used the key word, illegal. None of these laws would prevent this, hence, it is already illegal.As for mental health, they don't even scratch the surface. Yes, I can honestly say that they will not save a single innocent life, as they will have no effect whatsoever on the individuals perpetrating the crimes. They only affect law abiding citizens. Period.

How do you tell when piity is losing it "directed to you and you alone". It's a dead giveaway that shows he can't answer anything or is getting frustrated.

You better hope they don't start locking up those with severe mental illness piity. You will disappear forever. Which isn't such a bad idea.

for starters, you're in the minority. The rest of your argument borders on distraction. The national reform platform deals with universal background checks, the illegal transfer of weapons, and a more closely studied mental illness effect on gun violence.No one, including youself, can honestly say those issues will not prevent another innocent gun death.

No, today. 1. Pro gun control = uneducated (ie. ignorant, sheeple, pawns) 2. There is no such thing as an assault rifle; cosmetics do not enhance capabilities 3. No currently passed (ie. NY) or proposed laws will help to reduce crime or prevent unstable people from doing evil things; they only reduce the rights of law-abiding citizens. There you go, the basics in the gun debate. Do you have a coherent thought of your own to put forth?

Funny, the person demanding that we get back to the gun debate is the only person who is yet to make a coherent statement on the topic.

"returning to a topic that the rest of us might be interested in" If your not interested the feel free to not respond or feel free to just leave the forums. You were not missed before and you won't be again if you choose to leave. In fact that is what you claimed you were going to do a week or so ago when you went off the deep end and started calling names and swearing at people. I know you haven't forgotten that yet

The truly troubled one(s) in here are those that think the disagree/agree button is wrong but live to push the abuse on you Phil. Must be a sad life they live.

When you are willing to give up the right to bear arms what right will you be willing to give up next?

"will not distract congress from passing universal background check legislation" Please enlighten us with your wisdom. Please explain your understanding of exactly what a Universal Background Check is and, if passed, precisely how it would be implemented.

gun debate distractions will not distract congress from passing universal background check legislation. Keep your guns, but be ready on your next purchase--everyone.

I see piit has been hitting his lifeblood button on you again Phil. He is an abuse of the PJ system. Seems he has a real addiction to it. A true abuse button junkie. I don't think he ever saw one he could pass up.

If it doesn't agree with your viewpoint you consider it a distraction. What a hypocrite you really are.
