Two licensed conceal/carry idiots kill each other.

Same thing would happen if we disallowed poor people from owning guns. Hmm, I wonder if there's a correlation?

[Felch]

Of course, the relative rarity of mass shootings should be an indicator that we have more important things to worry about. I don't know why we don't have nationally televised memorial services for the ~1600 people that die of heart disease every day.

Thanks a lot, Earl Butz!

I think I'm missing a connection here.

No, Ya gotta be more specific.

They say there are more poor white people than non whites. Because there are more white people on welfare than non whites.

Can't dispute that fact either.

(I still think gun violence is a problem in the US. I just don't think mass shootings are the part we really need to worry about. If mass shootings should cause us to worry about anything, it's how we deal with mental health in the US.)

My wife works for the AHA, we just had one of two yearly memorial walks/fund raisers this past Saturday. Every major market has them.

The reason you don't hear about them on national TV is that it's a real problem that requires long and exhausting work to fix, thus it is useless to capture knee jerk audiences thus useless to feckless politicians looking for a bully pulpit.

The number one cause of heart disease is genetics. How ya going to fight that?

If we disallowed non-whites to have guns, gun violence would drop dramatically.

Funny thing, no one can dispute this fact.

Correct. Because "non-whites" are a significant number of people. The same is true if we disallowed whites from having guns.

Idiot.

Actually, I can. Wiki says that, according to the 2010 census, 15.1% of the population was in poverty. Of that 15.1%, 19.6 million were white and the rest were a minority of one variety or another. There were 308,745,538 in the 2010 census, which means 27 million people in poverty are minority races.

Bull****! Everyone knows but you that gun crime is majority non white.

Oh! so it is true that non whites are the majority of free government handouts. Then it must be true what they say about them not wanting to work.

I did not know this!

Thank You! very much! You have cleared that misunderstanding up for me.

[Sava]

Bull****! Everyone knows but you that gun crime is majority non white.

So what? "Majority" just means over 50%.

And that's true. According to FBI, in 2011 whites were responsible for 45.2% of gun murders.

Interesting though, men were responsible for 89.3% of those murders. So by your logic, men shouldn't be allowed to have guns.

I agree. Men shouldn't have guns. Blacks shouldn't have guns. Whites shouldn't have guns. If taking guns away from one group reduces violence, then let's not discriminate. Take them away from everyone. Problem solved.

And you cracker twatburgers can find new hobbies... go put together a puzzle or something.

Look, you don't have to prove to me that you're a racist ****bag. I already know that.

You do know that they count Hispanics as white. Don't you?

But the fact still stands that blacks make up more gun crime than whites.
So by my logic gun crime would be cut in more than half.
Wow! whod thunk?
And you call ME stupid Sava?


FACT!!!!!!!!!!! MOTHERFVCKER!!!!

Males, blacks, and persons ages 18 to 24 had the highest rates of firearm homicide from 1993 to 2010.
