    Gun violence dropped, but no other forms of violence went up. So it was a net decrease of violence.
    YOU saying it's wrong, is not PROOF and you're the one who "sperged" out and ran away.

    Prove that other forms of violence didn't go up; because otherwise, it's like the majority of your conclusions and is only based on your FEELS.

    Care to explain why the gun laws in Chicago haven't decreased the level of violence?

    No, you started with the insults and name-calling. I didn't engage.

    The stats didn't show that other forms of violence went up, rather that violence overall continued to drop with the gun control.

    Because Chicago isn't a country. Most of the guns used in Chicago crime come from out of state. I believe in states' rights, but when it comes to guns, we need federal laws.

    OH, so we're back to that again; because if you're able to remember, I told you your comments were insulting and you continued.

    The fact that Chicago isn't a country, has no bearing on the FACT that even with draconian gun laws; the crime rate in Chicago is abysmal.

    You said they were insulting because you thought I was lying. Obviously, I can't control if you think I'm lying.

    Because people get guns from other parts of the country. Gun control works when the laws are national, not local.

    Untrue, I said they were insulting, because they were insulting.

    You mean like abortions??

    No, that should be a state issue.

    Which was true before they had any gun control laws. Those laws haven't made any difference

    The danger comes from a society that encourages ignorance about firearms. If you really wanted to reduce the danger, you'd be promoting universal firearms safety education, starting in preschool. But knowledge is anathema to the control freaks.

    And no, the "system" doesn't let just anyone get a gun. You can't mail
    order a gun from Sears like you could years ago.
    I live in rural America. Most of us here own at least one gun and it's very
    rare that someone uses them irresponsibly. I won't be restricted because
    idiots in the cities use them irresponsibly. It's my constitutional right to own a gun.
    Cities seem to create an awful lot of idiots.

    It does because of the private sales loophole. And even without that, background checks aren't stopping mentally ill people from buying guns.



    Muh constitution is just a piece of paper. The government can ignore it, which it already has many times.

    I'm not against gun ownership. I think we need more gun control, but we shouldn't ban all guns. However, muh constitution has nothing to do with that.
    Those "sacrifices" should actually do some good. What we've actually seen are sacrifices that don't make anyone safer, but just restrict law-abiding gun owners. To actually make people safer, we need universal firearms training, just as we have universal drivers ed. It used to be that every child learned about firearms at home from an early age. In some parts of the country, they still do. Those parts of the country tend to have the fewest problems with guns.

    Wrong, they were heavily restricted in 1936. They were not banned in 1994. It became illegal to own any made after 1994. There are many thousands made before then that are still legal to own, if you can jump through the necessary hoops.
