My head is spinning trying to follow the logic of many of the Posters on this area of TOTV .

Some people seem to be arguing both for and against the same issue .

When someone presents data -- hard data from a credible site all the Polar Opposite does is just dismiss the data over and over again .
It`s impossible to have a constructive discussion here . It`s just food-fights and name calling .
What`s the point ? It`s an out of control Birthday Party for 9 year old boys .

So, you seem to think that registering firearms will prevent people from killing other people. Just curious, do they have trees on your planet?

People drive drunk. They crash into another car and run away. That happened here. The police see who the car is registered to and track down the driver. Does this help prevent drunk driving or leaving the scene of an accident? I think so.
Get back to me after you find out what to say next.

You think they'll leave their gun behind so we can track them down?

So, you feel that the 2nd Amendment is wrong and apparently you do NOT believe in the 4th Amendment at all. And you are not a liberal?

My wife does not carry concealed but knows how to use a handgun. My daughter carries concealed and my grand kids all practice shooting and some of them are hunters, including my 12 yr old grandson. I have had a gun since I was about 13 and have been carrying a gun most of my life. I have never had an accident with one, my daughter has not and as far as I know, neither has my grandkids.

But, you should fear the NRA because somehow they are responsible for all the bad things that happen related to guns.

OK....

Minorities are responsible for most of the bad things that happen related to guns. Hell, they're responsible for the most of the bad things that happen period!

Ban "minorities" and MOST of our "problems" go away!

I have it by good authority that all of the hoodlums in South Chicago are members of the NRA....

This is what needs to be banned! Ban these "people".

People will find a way to kill each other, we have been for millions or years.

yeah, one class of people I never EVER trust is a local LEO. Corrupt incompetent idiots. Heck, most cops cant shoot a static target let alone a moving target. I actually (and honestly) would prefer that a CCW former soldier have a gun than a fat lazy cop. At least the soldier will hit the target. :ohdear::ohdear::ohdear:

People who placate cops are pathetic. Cops are pathetic (ususally). I do not however relay these ideas to State, Marshal's, FBI and other actual TRAINED law enforcement who are not incented to "testi-lie" as a part of their day to day goings on.

Just ask the fine people of Marion county.....

Lady Lake cops...lazy as all get out. Takes SIX of them to stand around for five hours for a reported "domestic" where there not only was no arrest, there was no report.

If you ever need a cop remember not to call Lady Lake police or local police, call "State, Marshal's, FBI and other actual TRAINED law enforcement." Really intelligent!

I don't think anyone said prevent. Did they say help prevent? And do you understand the difference?

So, how would registering my handgun 'help prevent' me from killing someone?

I don't know how it would help you prevent killing someone. You've given this a lot of thought.

Yes, I understand the difference. But, with regard to gun registration, there is no discernible difference in desired outcomes.

I think the Orlando shooting makes your point. That doesn't mean to me anyway that registration can't be fixed.

And you and the rest of the liberals...haven't.

Your favorite victim besides yourselves, the blacks, hispanics, are responsible for the VAST majority of violence, shootings, and murder in general.

When will you let us begin a TRUTHFUL, FACTUAL discussion about them and their effect on society?

This post sounds like you watched the entire Death Wish series with Charles Bronson. There are two very different ways to look at this. Your thinking seems to mirror the NRA's supporting more guns and ammo available with very little oversight will take care of crime. I am not a liberal and probably own as many handguns as you but strongly believe the 2nd amendment has been stretched all out of proportion and has made the United States a shooting gallery. Handguns should be registered, a very liberal stop and frisk law enacted regardless of personal rights, and permitting to carry a concealed weapon be more in depth. None of these would prevent so called "good guys" from obtaining and carrying a handgun. I don't know how in hell getting control over all the handguns already out there in the wrongs hands is going to be accomplished but I know flooding the country with more guns is not the answer. Maybe you're ok with your wife, children, grandchildren, etc all carrying a handgun but that is not a community I want to live in. Just another opinion.

Apparently not, if you are applauding.

He doesn't realize that he is taking the liberal side of the debate. That makes him a liberal, regardless of what his party affiliation is. It's OK for him to have a gun, but he does not wish anyone else to have one. He feels threatened by anyone else have control of a firearm. He doesn't care about anyone else around him, therefore he takes the exact position of a liberal.
