Welcome to the Gunshine State

The "people they consider the root cause of their problems" are also known as criminals. They already have guns.

And as we have seen there are a lot of “peaceful law biding” gun owners who become criminals the moment they pull the trigger, Stephen Paddock being one

There are fewer than 10k gun murders in the US annually.

There are between 300k and 400k in private ownership in the US.

If guns were the problem, you would know it.

Ah, you omitted the prefatory clause and ignored the purpose of comas, I’d recommend you’d take a refresher course in English Grammar

I did omit it as it is a prefatory clause and as such the rest of it is not dependant on its existence. it is presented as a prefatory clause as it is one reason out of many why the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

perhaps you should take your own advice you sad little cunt

and let's not forget even low end estimates of 100k defensive gun uses per year, far outnumbering gun homicides,etc.

You got to be reading NRA publications, in reality, there were over 40,000 Americans killed by guns last year, approximately 118 a day, to include over 16,000 gun homicides. In addition, we had 568 mass shootings and 349 school shootings. In some States, more people die from guns than auto accidents. And guns is the leading cause of deaths of Americans 24 and under. Keep in mind, those are preventable deaths

We do have a gun problem, a big problem, and if more guns kept people safe, given we now have more guns out there than people, America would be the safest developed nation in the world, it’s not, now 47th, right ahead of Costa Rico and Jordan

Really, document that number for us, give us a source

The only way you get 40k gun deaths is if you include suicides. And that number would be more than half of the total.

The ONLY thing you know about any gun suicide is that they truly wanted to die. And if someone truly wants to die, taking away the gun will not change a thing.

CDC Gun Research Backfires on Obama - Guns and Ammo

In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, President Obama issued a list of Executive Orders.

www.gunsandammo.com

1. Armed citizens are less likely to be injured by an attacker:

"Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was 'used' by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies."

2. Defensive uses of guns are common:

"Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year... in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008."

The study, which was farmed out by the CDC to the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, also revealed that while there were "about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008," the estimated number of defensive uses of guns ranges "from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year."

turns out my memory was being generous to you, the actual minimum number is 500k not 100k

Wrong

The wording of the First Amendments and Second Amendment are totally different, one is direct, the other bifurcate, you know coma’s have a purpose in the English language

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

This is not hard for most people to understand. You and other simpleton libtard drones can seem to get it. How dumb do you have to be to not understand the words and intent of a very short Amendment?

Oh, I thought I'd help you out with your grammar. I noticed a few problems so I enlisted Grok to pin them down for your benefit, I even added to period at the end for you. I haven't checked my own out, I'm sure there are issues, I just don't really care as much as you do.

Here are the grammatical errors in the given sentence: The wording of the First Amendments and Second Amendment are totally different, one is direct, the other bifurcate, you know coma’s have a purpose in the English language.

1. Amendments should be singular to match the context (referring to one amendment at a time): "The wording of the First Amendment and Second Amendment..."
2. Second Amendment should not be capitalized in the middle of the sentence unless it's part of a proper noun or title, which here it isn't necessary: "the Second Amendment".
3. are should be "is" because the subject is singular when referring to each amendment separately: "The wording of the First Amendment and the Second Amendment is..."
4. bifurcate should be in its adjectival form "bifurcated" if you're describing the amendment: "the other is bifurcated..." or better yet, use a more common adjective like "complex" or "divided".
5. you know is colloquial and not necessary for formal writing, but if included, should be followed by a comma: "you know, commas..."
6. coma’s is misspelled; it should be "commas". Also, the apostrophe is used incorrectly for pluralization; it should be "commas" without the apostrophe.
7. have a purpose is correct, but the sentence structure could be improved for clarity. Consider: "you know, commas have a purpose in the English language."

not necessary. I know what it means.

Obviously not, since you misquoted it.

 

[Into the Night]

You're free to lie about me, son.

You are still hallucinating, Sybil. He is not your son.

Unlike you, Arbie, I'm not upset by little pissants who sling insults on the Internet while hiding behind their anonymous keyboards.

You ARE a little pissant that slings insults on the internet while hiding behind your anonymous keyboard, Sybil!

Gunners seem to forget that ALL the people that they consider the root cause of their life problems will have access to these weapons as well.

Yeah, but most of you are afraid of guns.

Yeah, the "wild, wild west" will have nuth'in on us!

The old West wasn't so wild, dude. You've been watching too many John Wayne movies.

We are living in interesting times (and old Chinese curse, I believe).

Interesting? That's GREAT!

There are cars in every home. There are multiple computers in every home. The communications systems allow easy communication over the whole world by anyone. Most people have electric power, and all the immense conveniences it brings. The United States has elected a President that wants to eliminate waste and corruption in the government for once! The Chinese are stuck with having to deal with less demand for their products due to tariffs (I guess that's why the Chinese consider it curse! ).

Nobody ever sent me to begin with, but I have been there, several times, once you do the theme parks, boring as hell

Is that all life is to you, theme parks? Gawd, what a sad existence. Must suck to be you.

Appears we have another one who fell asleep in elementary school, probably home schooled, ah, comas have a purpose in “plain English,” even in Trumpkinville

And you ignore it.

 

[Into the Night]

Ah, you omitted the prefatory clause and ignored the purpose of comas, I’d recommend you’d take a refresher course in English Grammar

There is no 'prefatory clause'. DON'T TRY TO BLAME YOUR INABILITY TO SPEAK, READ, OR WRITE ENGLISH ON ANYBODY ELSE!

Some do. Shoot back.

Wrong

The wording of the First Amendments and Second Amendment are totally different, one is direct, the other bifurcate, you know coma’s have a purpose in the English language

And you ignore what they are.

The right of self defense is inherent, anchovies. Cherry picking fallacy.

There are between 300k and 400k in private ownership in the US.

If guns were the problem, you would know it.

There are approximately 393 million guns owned by private citizens in the United States.

7189 murders by gun were recorded in 2023. Not a single one of these guns loaded themselves, chambered themselves, and pulled their own trigger.
