Shooting at Virginia Tech - Page 15

Kitsune · 04-20-2007, 10:59 AM

What's that I hear? Did someone in here ask for more statistics?

Quote:

In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun. Since then, despite dire predictions of "Wild West" showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender.

...

By comparison, the population of Morton Grove, the first city in Illinois to adopt a gun ban for anyone other than police officers, has actually dropped slightly and stands at 22,202, according to 2005 statistics. More significantly, perhaps, the city's crime rate increased by 15.7 percent immediately after the gun ban, even though the overall crime rate in Cook County rose only 3 percent. Today, by comparison, the township's crime rate stands at 2,268 per 100,000.

Stats are a fine bullet with which to kill ignorance -- begging any question of ulterior motives.

Anyone who's seen genocide wants it to stop happening. There's one known way, and it's never been refuted.

Guns kill like the penis is the cause of HIV/AIDS. It is what is behind the tool, not the tool itself. Given the right tool, people are going to do what they want to do regardless of the original intent of the purpose of the tool.

NOW we get to the root of it all: gun as penis...penis as power.

This has become the most satirical thread ever. It's so going into my book.

The one time I feared one I just lopped it off with my kitchen knife. No gun needed. Other than that they're pretty blah. Very few men are good with it. God bless the ones who are. God help the ones who just think they are (stop looking around the room, you know who you are.)

Did you remember to pull it out after you cut it off?!?! I think it may still be up your twat.

It's starting to smell.

Watched and read his bullshit.
Religion.

If it were not for handguns I would be dead and/or injured many times over. The argument against them is lost on those like me, who have used them for what they were intended, as a tool.

Really? Tell us all the stories when you failed to avoid conflict or failed to resolve conflict in a peaceful manner.

Actually, no, I will not answer you questions for two reasons. You don't answer mine and it is sad, bordering on sick, for you to want to hear those kinds of stories.
It is not closed minded, it is experience. Where is yours?

I don't think you have any stories. I think you exhibit this false internet bravado to bolster your self-esteem, which, in itself, is sick.
