Very smart recapitulation ...
Very smart recapitulation ...
Oh boy... we have a can of worms open now.
The Martin case will NEVER bring harmony or cohesion or agreement; different camps see it in different lights and that's just not gonna change... discussing it only serves to fire people up and separate them further.
Grendl...well written!
There are certain groups that are judged with the concept that if one is bad there all bad, i.e.. blacks, police, lawyers... Unless you are in/from this group one can not understand how that life is led. Hoodies, and the like have been ruined as much as the rainbow has. My query on whether "Z" would do it over was one that was used to cause thought. The ownership of guns does not make the owner a killer. Can it, in the right situation make you a killer, yes. With the USA having more guns that the rest of the world, you would think we would all be dead. One simple fact that the silly liberals cannot get thru their heads is....wait for it...if guns where outlawed, then only outlaws would have guns.

Only the police have handguns here.
The very few handguns in the possession of criminals are quickly confiscated and destroyed the second the outlaws are prosecuted.
The only source of guns for the criminals is from the USA, those being smuggled into our country.
Criminals here rely mostly on knives and the occasional sawed off shotgun.
Our low death rate from violent crime reflects that.
If the USA banned handguns for everyone but law enforcement, nothing would change for you for at least 2 more generations.
i fail to understand why this is on this board....yes we have guns....end of story.....
we do not live in a fairy tale world....
bad people do bad things
canada has a population or 35,344,962
the us population 318.9 million
you do the math,its not hard...
there are BAD people here
guns keep the bad people at bay
there are 69,438 active/sworn police officers in Canada
in the us there are 1.1 million police officers
so...taking the guns away will not make things better...
this is not England or Australia
what keeps us strong as a people is what makes us strong as a country..
lets get back to our bikes please...
we can all agree on that

The researchers found that those who poses firearms and believe in "self-defense philosophy" were about 4 - 5 times more likely to be shot than those who did not carry any gun.
The reasons for this is :
A gun in hands of defender may falsely empower an aggressor to overreact, instigating and losing sense of judgement . Individuals who are in possession of a gun may increase their risk of gun assault by entering dangerous environments that they would have normally avoided.
This is a finding supported by numerous other studies in health and judicial policies , including several articles in the New England Journal of Medicine. Study also found that for individuals who had time to resist and counter in a gun assault, the odds of actually being shot actually increased to 5.5 versus to an individual not carrying any fire arm.
So , now is your time to think about it and compare to the reality ...
do you really believe all you read???
This is America
there is always a counter point to every article written by some windbag writer
there is always a survey or a study or an article
remember they are always trying to convince someone some where about something
my reality is still intact,so is my opinion
Yes - I really do . I believe in science more than any archaic dogmatism .
Just wonder - What is your counter point to scientific studies ?
What means - This is America ? Is it a mind set or simple fear ?
Not trying to convince anyone , I can see this problem only from different prospectives .
I think you have rights to have your opinion and nobody will kill you for that , but you
can be shot anywhere ( in America ) , not having chances to defend yourself either .
enough hijacking...
yup i own
we can go like this for ever
Why?
