All I hear is a nation in denial. I'm done here. It's been fun, but goodbye.

Sorry Gio, the Nation's Top Cop and President are black, if there is some heat you feel from police, blame it on them.



Gio, it's time to stop with the racism. I work with immigrants who risked everything to come here. They work their asses off, and they're going to be somebody someday, and do well for their families. If you feel held back, it might be time to look inward instead of outward.



You really should read a history book.
Look up American Revolution, see how some farmers and townfolk took on the biggest army and navy in the known world. Or the French Revolution, or the overthrow of the Czars.

Cops are cops. They are the physical embodiment of the laws passed in every local municipality, the enforcement behind those laws.

Sometimes cops crack heads and don't give a fuck. If you're a minority or fit the 'profile' of a generic suspect, you're gonna get hassled on principle.

My observation isn't 'racist'. It's real life for many people of color. See the current stop-and-frisk policy in NYC, where more Black and Latino youths have been accosted by cops LEGALLY than the total number of Black/Latino youths in the entire city.

That's textbook police harassment.

White people, welcome to the real world. If a cop decides to give you shit, well you just got shat on. Suck it up and deal.

You're a fool if you think a few state militias with their scary machine guns could defeat the U.S. military.

The only way an insurrection would be successful against the U.S. army would be if a few infantry divisions with all their artillery and supplies decided to turn traitor.

BTW, are the pro-gun people against any restrictions on the 2nd Amendment?? Or do you believe there are too many restrictions already??

You can't compare firearm murders with death from disease and natural causes, that's ridiculous. The point is that the gun deaths might have been prevented. And of those 36,909 suicides, how many involved a gun? I'd bet the majority of them.

It is true that many gun deaths could be avoided. I feel for all those families, no death is easy for the survivors to bear. My father died in the same year that I referenced, he was one of the ones who died in a hospital. His death probably could've been avoided if the SOB he saw about a month before, then again two weeks before, would've taken the time to check him out instead of simply giving him some pills and shoving him out the door.

As I said in my earlier post, I'm four times as likely to be die in a car crash as I am to be shot. I'm not asking you to give up your car or even make it harder for you to purchase another one in the future, I'd appreciate it if you left my firearms alone.

Personally I don't believe that no matter what race, religion, or color you are. Police officers, exponentially more so then your average citizens, have an obligation to conduct themselves with decorum and courtesy. They operate by procedures and rules in order to protect and serve the populous, at their best anyway. At their worst they are no better than the worst of criminals themselves, abusing power and exploiting the weak. I believe no one person is more important than another and has no right to treat another as a lesser, be they your average person or a uniformed officer. I myself have been unfairly treated by the police on more than one occasion in my life, but I never took it lying down, to do that is only to encourage the behavior and to help to bring unjust treatment onto another that will come after you. There is no place for a poor guardian of the peace in this day and age, if their fellow officers are unable or unwilling to do something about them, then it falls to the victims to take a stand.

As for the 2nd, I don't mind regulations and restrictions on handguns and heavy artillery, though I believe for those people who are enthusiasts they have the right if they feel like taking the time and filling out the paperwork, getting the background checks, taking a full physical and mental exam, whatever, to own what they choose to, within reason. That stuff I could go either way, deadly weapons of course are bad, but in the right hands they can be safe and productive as well, I reserve final judgment. But to me, rifles and shotguns, they have enough restrictions as it is in my opinion, they have practical uses in hunting and pest control, mercy killings for livestock and pets, home protection from wildlife and intruders, unless modified they are fairly hard to conceal, the majority of sport shooters use shotguns for discs and rifles for target shooting, with all that I see no reason to deny the responsible people who wish to have relatively easy access to such firearms.

I'm not in denial...believe that...

Ya, and all many of us Yanks hear is a bunch of brits trying to tell us how to live. How'd that work out the first time?

Have a pint and cool off..

Is James Holmes faking psychosis?

He certainly has the educational background to know what's necessary to fake a range or disorders. Still, if he's going to use an insanity defense, he has little chance of winning. The rate of success for this type of defense is extremely low. Given the extensive preparation, etc., that preceded this tragic event, he'll never pull it off.

That's not a good analogy. The purpose of a car is for transportation. If a car-related death occurs, it is due to accident or misuse. While some gun-related deaths are accidental, most occur because the gun was being used for it's purpose, unlike the car. Also, people spend far more time in traffic than they do looking at the business end of a gun, so I'm not surprised that car deaths are more likely.

Sorry to hear about your dad.

Now if fighter bombers or missiles had existed at the time of the creation of your Constitution and the right to bear arms had included those weapons would all you gun fetishists be arguing for the right to own them. It is incredible the sort of nonsense talked by people like OMK, Faldur and Loren to name just three.

I have no desire to tell Americans what to do. I DO know the country. I have visited maybe 500 times. I have lived there as well. So this is not some Brit trying to impose British values but a human trying to get those on here who seem to think that a terrible murder rate is acceptable just so they can own that assault weapon or automatic pistol to see another, and in my view, better point of view. There are plenty of Americans who share my view..

And OMK ludicrous comparisons with Syria or some other dictatorship and the need thus for Americans to cling to their armoury... putrid.

I re-post the followng - leaving aside its final ironic comment but just for the statistics. America is in many ways a great country founded on great principles. The misinterpretation of the Constition to include owning weapons as you guyss argue is NOT one of the things that makes it great.

As i said before I think of that little girl gunned down by a man whose right to own assault weapons you support and I say her life is more sacred than the bullshit you guys spout.

Sure, you can't compare the ~12,000 gun related criminal acts per year to causes of NATURAL death. Meanwhile, cigarettes kill ~45,000 NON-SMOKERS, (ie: PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SMOKE BUT ARE CONSTANTLY EXPOSED TO THE RETARDS WHO DO such as children whose parents smoke around them constantly, among others like the elderly) who end up dying from NOT ONCE SMOKING A CIGARETTE!

Now compare the ~45,000 non-smokers who died (in essence were murdered by those who smoked around them) versus, the ~12,000 violent deaths caused by gun murders. The other ~20,000 gun deaths caused by suicides and accidents, which in that case would be comparable with the people who DO SMOKE INTENTIONALLY and die every year (~443,000 dead annually) from this "suicidal/accidental" inhalation of death.

Now, if all you retards would stop ignoring this simple argument for the sake of your personal anti-gun hippie fuck agendas and note that CIGARETTES KILL MORE NON-SMOKERS ANNUALLY THAN EVERY GUN RELATED DEATH IN AMERICA ANNUALLY.
