US Gun Laws

Considering that the vast majority of your posts are incoherent, I'd be rather surprised if you understood much at all...

You dumnbass you just said I don't know what it means.
So ,tell me.
Tell us all.
Your so smart.

I understand TMM was referring to home invasions, which is why I provided statistics showing it's a bunch of hysteria over absolutely nothing.

I can't even find statistics on how many people were killed in home invasions in Canada, because the number is statistically insignificant.

It's an absolutely absurd justification for gun ownership.

To be fair, TMM explained that he went through something like it. His experience led to gun ownership. You can decry that as irrational. Perhaps it is. It's also completely understandable.

I agree that the hysteria over home invasions is a bit much (we had a really, really, really nasty one here in CT pretty recently, so trust me I know). If, however, an individual has an experience like TMM had, I'm hard pressed to call him a fool for owning a gun.

That doesn't have anything to do with what I think should be done at a public policy level (Step 1: revise 2nd amendment, Step 2: enact sensible restrictions on hand guns and other weapons, which may also be worth a ).

**** off, racist.

So, I choose to not spew political correctness and that makes me a racist?

[Asher]

Yeah, I'm sure if you actually had a home invasion it'll make you more paranoid.

I'd probably just invest in a high-end security system rather than owning a gun, but that's just me.

The fact that you are a racist is what makes you a racist.

There's being politically incorrect and then there's blaming "blacks/browns" for what ails your country.

I don't have to know what they mean to arrive at the conclusion that you don't. Sometimes it's wise to assume you don't know it all. In this case, I would tend to defer to people who study crime, as my background and experiences don't exactly qualify me for expert opinion on such matters. You clearly think those numbers mean that "blacks & browns" are a bunch of violent criminals, whether they are here in the USA or in Canada (two different cultures, which you appear understand, based on another post of yours to Asher). I'm quite familiar with that line of thinking, and it's lazy at best & bigotted at worst. As such, it's worthy of contempt.

Do me a favour -- look up how many "black and brown" people live in Scarborough, Ontario, where I lived for several years.

Even though it's a poor area of Toronto with a high "black/brown" population, the crime rates are still nowhere CLOSE to the USA's. Using them as a scapegoat is ridiculous.

now your just being silly.

[Asher]

now your just being silly.

Hint: Only 32% of residents are white.

Hey, butwipe I never said anything about Canada.
but your background and experience is enough to tell me that I don't understand?
The facts speak.
I don't care how much you suger coat it.
I don't suffer from whitemans guilt as you do!

Asher, I'm talkin about the USA as I also thought you were as well.

[Asher]

Asher, I'm talkin about the USA as I also thought you were as well.

I thought you were talking about "blacks/browns", which we have many of in Canada as well...

So lets get this straight. Are you talking about Americans ("not Canada"), or are you talking about black/brown people?

I very much agree with you that the statistics show Americans are far more murderous and criminal.

So tell us!
What does it mean?
Gonna dodge the question?

[giblets]

There are still lots of racists in America.

I thought we were talkin about crime here in the USA.
That is why I showed the stats.
