This may be racist.  Or, are you saying that large population areas with democrat leadership are maybe to blame?  Both?

Don't answer....I want you to be able to keep baking cakes.

Good grief.  I think I should be scared of Rigid right now...this was an EPIC beatdown.  A smash in the face following a pants down spanking in a crowded supermarket!!!!

 

[Cold War]

This is the kind of nonsense that kills the Dem party with voters, other than coast Liberals.

Trying to make the gun problem about responsible gun owners. Everyone knows what the problem is other than liberals and the media.

This is obviously incorrect. It shows NH as a higher crime state. We have the lowest crime rate in the country. The lowest child poverty rate. The lowest teen pregnancy rate. The highest per capita income.

And what stands out in every state on the list..... NO PERMIT REQUIRED!

Safety training must be a law in every state....period.

Really need to take suicide out. 

Access to firearms makes suicide more likely. Many suicides are impulsive acts that require a quick means in order to complete the act. With suicide intervention the first question asked is about the availability of firearms to the person or family member. It’s relevant to the statistic of gun deaths.

I actually agree with you.  And I'm not sure if I hate you or XLT more for that.  Although, that still doesn't point the finger at anything other than the real problem concerning gun violence.

I’ve seen no evidence that firearm safety classes have a meaningful effect on gun deaths.

Most guns sold today are to idiots. They buy on impulse for protection, only to sell the firearm a few months or years later. My issue is how cheap an illegal pistol can be purchased because of the flood of firearms into society. There’s also straw purchases and gun show trade. Given the fact that America is safer than its ever been, the massive sale of guns for protection isn’t warranted. Over Christmas weekend I said that the murder and crime rate in America is at near record lows. Of course everyone looked at me like I was nuts. So I suggested they look up the stats. Lots of stunned faces were the result. 

Personally I’ve always had a love affair with guns. I was raised in a rural setting and they were regularly displayed and used. Hunting, target practice, etc. my dad had me in sub-sonic pistol competition at the age of 12. Regardless, I find the American obsession with firearms dangerous to future of gun ownership.

My personal experience is that none of that is true. not saying it doesn't happen. The people that I know who have bought guns in the past few years have done a lot of research and still own the guns they bought.

The second paragraph sounds very liberal.  Its fine for me and I am not the problem...........Its every one else! 

Just saying.

Anecdotal at best. I’ve seen no study that links gun safety to a drop in gun violence. I don’t see how they’re remotely connected. It’s more a feel good measure.
