Senate to vote on HANDGUN BAN!!!!

[link to www.freerepublic.com]

fuck off slave

Then they will ban the ammo..

Ignorant.

This will have no bearing on criminals, the killers.
It will only effect innocent, responsible people, the defenders against the criminals.

Those fucking pricks can't come to any resolution on the economy BUT they sure can muster up a vote on guns. Is anyone else getting pissed at these buffoons???

Just what I was thinking.

They have the time to piss off 2/3 of americans by banning things, but cant agree on a budget or tax cuts. WTF?

no. but anyone who's got 10,000 rounds of ammo is
probably gonna have to answer a lot of questions.

Too bad all my guns fell in the lake last time I went canoeing.

why would that matter if someone has 10,000 rounds of ammo and what kind of questions would they have to answer.

the 2 main gun problems in this country are:

1) ghetto gangstas

2 and right wing inbred hillbilly white supremist guntards

"Britain's violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it has been revealed.

Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world's most dangerous countries."

In the UK, there are 2,034 offences per 100,000 people, way ahead of second-placed Austria with a rate of 1,677.

The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, Canada 935, Australia 92 and South Africa 1,609.

Do the maths & inform yourself before you condescend to others.

You also have an astronomically higher amount of rapes, burglaries and robberies, that continues to soar high above us and other other countries.

Not to mention after your gun control laws, your homicide rate has shot through the roof. The USA rate continues to decline.

People speak out their ears. It's proven over and over in country after country, city after city - gun laws equate with more crime, not less. I'm so tired of people spewing this nonsensical information that gun control works. It doesn't. It's been proven that it doesn't. It's been proven it actually makes it worse.

But people from other countries mouthing this nonsense is even more ridiculous.

I see our favorite AC is back did you pick up another shift or was the morning not profitable enough for you.

wah wah america

Diane Fiendsteinis now going to combine legislation to ban knives with stones over 50 grams. If your caught with a stone over 50 grams and a sling, it's life imprisonment !

Obammy putting all unemployed to work gathering up any stones under two pounds. Anyone caught with a sledge hammer pounding, making little ones out of big ones will be forced into Demoturd 'reeducation camps', run by his million boy/man army of ghetto hoods, with AK-47s !

my handlers are telling me i'm not posting enough hard-hitting stuff.

I'm not a conspiracy nut lol!! But how fast did they draft this shit up? They can't get anything done while they're in session let alone during the Holiday break! Pretty well laid out in record time!! Hmmmmm.......

Yeh, okay. We all know what happened after gun control in Germany.

Still, 30 out of 100 people in Germany own a gun, ranking 4th in the world. That's a lot of small penises, huh?

Not.

That's a good point.

folk off nazi

Lol, spoken like a true libtard.

Hey GooseBob,

Let's put this in terms that you might be able to understand.

Suppose the point of my post was in Dallas, Texas.

Now where are you?

You're in Alberta, Canada.

I suppose that won't make much sense to you either.

And there it is.

Surprising, ain't it?

although it's been stated many, many times here.... most people realize that gang-bangers do not comply with registration requirements. I mean....come on....it's one of those 'duh' opinions to think that bans/restrictions will somehow lower crime rates.

some of these statistics are older, but I didn't want to edit them out.... (bias)

Crime and Self-Defense

* Roughly 16,272 murders were committed in the United States during 2008. Of these, about 10,886 or 67% were committed with firearms.[11]

* A 1993 nationwide survey of 4,977 households found that over the previous five years, at least 0.5% of households had members who had used a gun for defense during a situation in which they thought someone "almost certainly would have been killed" if they "had not used a gun for protection." Applied to the U.S. population, this amounts to 162,000 such incidents per year. This figure excludes all "military service, police work, or work as a security guard."[12]

* Based on survey data from the U.S. Department of Justice, roughly 5,340,000 violent crimes were committed in the United States during 2008. These include simple/aggravated assaults, robberies, sexual assaults, rapes, and murders.[13] [14] [15] Of these, about 436,000 or 8% were committed by offenders visibly armed with a gun.[16]

* Based on survey data from a 2000 study published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology,[17] U.S. civilians use guns to defend themselves and others from crime at least 989,883 times per year.[18]

* A 1993 nationwide survey of 4,977 households found that over the previous five years, at least 3.5% of households had members who had used a gun "for self-protection or for the protection of property at home, work, or elsewhere." Applied to the U.S. population, this amounts to 1,029,615 such incidents per year. This figure excludes all "military service, police work, or work as a security guard."[19]

* A 1982 survey of male felons in 11 state prisons dispersed across the U.S. found:[21]

• 34% had been "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"

• 40% had decided not to commit a crime because they "knew or believed that the victim was carrying a gun"

• 69% personally knew other criminals who had been "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"[22]


Vulnerability to Violent Crime

* At the current homicide rate, roughly one in every 240 Americans will be murdered.[23]

* A U.S. Justice Department study based on crime data from 1974-1985 found:

• 42% of Americans will be the victim of a completed violent crime (assault, robbery, rape) in the course of their lives

• 83% of Americans will be the victim of an attempted or completed violent crime

• 52% of Americans will be the victim of an attempted or completed violent crime more than once[24]

* A 1997 survey of more than 18,000 prison inmates found that among those serving time for a violent crime, "30% of State offenders and 35% of Federal offenders carried a firearm when committing the crime."[25]

Criminal Justice System


* Nationwide in 2008, law enforcement agencies reported that 55% of aggravated assaults, 27% of robberies, 40% of rapes, and 64% of murders that were reported to police resulted in an alleged offender being arrested and turned over for prosecution.[26] [27]

* Currently, for every 12 aggravated assaults, robberies, sexual assaults, rapes, and murders committed in the United States, approximately one person is sentenced to prison for committing such a crime.[28] [29] [30]

* A 2002 U.S. Justice Department study of 272,111 felons released from state prisons in 1994 found that within three years of their release:

• at least 67.5% had been arrested for committing a new offense

• at least 21.6% had been arrested for committing a new violent offense

• these former inmates had been charged with committing at least 2,871 new homicides, 2,444 new rapes, 3,151 other new sexual assaults, 2,362 new kidnappings, 21,245 new robberies, 54,604 new assaults, and 13,854 other new violent crimes[31]

* Of 1,662 murders committed in New York City during 2003-2005, more than 90% were committed by people with criminal records.[32]
