+1 Just shows that Clyde doesn't understand, because if he really believes using a force multiplier is the answer. Then in the situation he describes he won't go and find a 4x2 he will use the nearest force multiplier he has and use a __________ [fill in the blank] |

Tiananmen Square! The question is: "Are you people ready to do what the Chinese had to do to squash this next cry for freedom from your coloured second class citizens?" |

To reduce suicides, look at guns In 2014, 42,773 Americans killed themselves according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Half did so with guns. That’s not only more than the number of Americans who were killed in mass shootings, it’s more than the number of people who were killed with guns in homicides and accidents combined. |

You are making assumptions again, that American cities are alone in having problems in some parts. That is absolutely not true. The thing that makes American cities unique is the access to firearms. Firearms for those that should not have them or access to them is too easy. Yes in most parts buying them in Gun Stores is controlled, but what about private purchases, gun fairs and the problem of people buying for others. In these areas there is either no control or checks to be sure the person buying a firearm still has it some time later. |

Yes in most parts buying them in Gun Stores is controlled, No matter how, they are still getting guns anyway.... |

Yes in most parts buying them in Gun Stores is controlled, Usually they do a few burglaries and obtain all the weapons they need. The vast majority of guns used to commit crimes are stolen and traded from one criminal to another. |

To reduce suicides, look at guns But it is very important to reduce global population in the face of global warming, and better to have a carbon hog American go away than a carbon reducing dirt farmer in a third world backwater. |

To reduce suicides, look at guns You just DON'T get it do you? It doesn't matter if every gun in the galaxy was gone, those who want to kill themselves will find another way to do it. Sheeeees... Drop it already. It AIN'T gonna happen. Guns will always be available for those that want them for whatever reason they want it for. If they cannot get one, they will find other ways to attain whatever goal they want to. Peace! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

To reduce suicides, look at guns It is painfully obvious that the one not getting it is you. Read the article and learn something rather that just posting your mistaken beliefs. Try using some facts if you disagree, and if you do have facts then go and argue them with the Washington Post. Firearms are deadly and usually quick, especially when used as a suicide device. If they were not so available to these vulnerable people, then they would try one of the other methods, which is what suicidal people in virtually all other countries have to do. As these are not as immediate they more fail or are discovered before death occurs. |

To reduce suicides, look at guns Uh-huh. Figures. I do not have to read the article. It is a bunch of liberal crap whether the "facts" are true or not. I am NOT a liberal and do not follow what liberals say. As I said, you just don't get it. Ban guns and they will still be accessible for those that want to use them for ill. Ban guns and only law abiding citizens will follow the law. Criminals will NOT. Criminals and those that want to "end it all" will get a gun or use whatever means they can to achieve their goals. Quit reading the liberal crap you find on the Internet! Peace! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.
