That is a tragic number but the laws they are proposing would have stopped very few of those deaths random thoughts Send a noteboard - 06/02/2013 05:53:48 PM
If you drill down a little all but 228 of those deaths were males being shot. The reason for that is that a huge percentage are directly related to drug trade. Requiring background checks at gunshows will not have much impact on people who buy stolen guns out of the trunks of cars.

how many responsible owners are going to be selling out of the trunk of their car? moondog - 06/02/2013 06:02:43 PM 864 Views
You will never stop or reduce violence. Ever Dark Knight - 06/02/2013 09:01:15 PM 867 Views
Funny, that. *NM* jh - 06/02/2013 09:09:49 PM 387 Views
Perhaps, but we can still limit the damage done by controlling access to guns. *NM* Blaine - 06/02/2013 10:38:06 PM 433 Views
There's a gigantic difference between the "stop" and the "reduce" you so casually equate. *NM* Legolas - 06/02/2013 11:21:31 PM 439 Views
Is there? Without guns the rate of violence will fall heavily? Dark Knight - 06/02/2013 11:35:27 PM 901 Views
Yes, there is. Legolas - 06/02/2013 11:40:57 PM 836 Views
there are ways to reduce the violence but new guns laws are not one those ways random thoughts - 07/02/2013 04:29:01 AM 887 Views
best that we enforce the current laws then, as obama has directed in his executive orders moondog - 08/02/2013 05:59:22 PM 805 Views
violence, probably not as much as we would like. dead by gunshot? most assuredly so moondog - 06/02/2013 11:45:39 PM 810 Views
that is true but that is no excuse for feel good laws that do nothing but restrict rights random thoughts - 07/02/2013 04:24:34 AM 936 Views
I like how you say 'something more concrete' to describe 'nothing new' Isaac - 06/02/2013 10:38:35 PM 832 Views
i guess in this case "more concrete" means "not just swept under the rug anymore" moondog - 06/02/2013 11:38:52 PM 861 Views
I don't believe it has ever been swept under the rug in our lifetimes Isaac - 07/02/2013 12:40:55 AM 846 Views
we will have to continue to agree to disagree then moondog - 08/02/2013 06:06:38 PM 838 Views
This has more to do with resenting all the "...and another thing!" threads on the subject of late. Isaac - 09/02/2013 12:18:27 AM 872 Views
the nature of this forum prevents single threaded topics.... moondog - 09/02/2013 02:29:31 PM 844 Views
Your point being? Killing people is whole point of guns. Cannoli - 07/02/2013 12:02:24 AM 849 Views
You actually buy the bull**** the NRA tries to peddle? Blaine - 08/02/2013 08:00:40 PM 1081 Views
