Austin package bombs - They're not blaming the bombs, they're blaming the bomber? Also, CNN keeps pushing the race card despite the fact that no specific race was being targeted. (Evidently, the bomber blew himself up early this morning, saving citizens the cost of a lengthy trial, followed by lifetime support in terms of shelter and food.) Maryland school shooting - An armed resource officer shot and killed the 17-year old shooter. No mention by the state-run media that a) a 17 year old isn't permitted to own/possess a handgun, and b) that an armed school employee prevented anyone from being killed. A blogger in the UK posted a poll asking people to select the biggest danger to the UK. You could chose BREXIT, Russia, Far-right extremists, and Islam. 70% of the voters picked Islam, and the blogger claims that bots and far-right extremists were responsible for skewing the poll results. When asked if she would accept the results if it was proven that no bots were identified, she said "No". What have we learned from this? 0) The media is trying to start a race war. 1) "Gun control" isn't about "guns", it's about "control". 2) Liberals don't like it when their poll results don't produce the expected/desired outcome.

I'm a liberal, and I while I think it self-evident that without guns there would be little threat form them, I also accept that removing all guns from the USA is simply never going to happen, so it's pointless to even pursue that line. The USA will have to find a way to live with them, somehow. And the way to solve the threat of Islam is to open your eyes and say" Threat? What threat?" The so-called "threat" of Islam in the West is miniscule. 99.9% of al Islamic terror attacks are in Muslim countries and aimed at other Muslims. I do not feel in the least "terrorised" by Islam. I am more terrified of crossing the main road on the way tot eh shops than any friggin' terrorist. The goddam IRA in the 70's were more of a threat than Islam. Get real.

So the more muslims we allow into our country the greater the threat will be?

Compared to gun violence, how many people died of Islamic terror in the USA?
Islamic terrorist attacks increased as soon as Obama left the blackish house. You have to admit, have you ever seen Obama and a terrorist in the same room at the same time? Think about it.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

..because there is no habit of people running around with bombs, claiming to need them as a God-given right to defend against bears. There's no debate on open carrying of bombs, nor the right of a teacher to carry one.

The media makes money of dividing headlines. What did you expect?

Those are TWO words John. It is about control of the guns, not about control of the milk. It is specific about guns.

Because the definition makes the man, and all conform to the definition. You're also implying that the opposite of a liberal doesn't. Of course, they are all formed by the definition, not by their actions. X|

Just a note, we would say "divisive headlines".

Not to mention abortions kill more children than guns, as do cars, and medical accidents.

I already showed you with the data for Ireland and the UK that this is bunkum.

And there are thousands of such attacks. We dont want those ten other attacks in the UK.

9/11? Oh, a few thousand.

I guess conservatives do not like it when statistics don't show expected results. But you can do your own research. I could do it for you, but you will reject every link I will post as FAKE NEWS and libtard bullshit.

We can keep dancing around the issue, shouting "Guns for all!" / "No guns for anyone!" like a a Simpsons episode[^], but that's not going to solve anything. We need a "Guns for some; miniature American flags for others" solution. :)

The laws we already have would help if they were actively enforced. We could start by looking at returning the 500,000 individuals to the NICS database that Obama ordered removed (if they truly belong on the list of prohibited persons). Then we could make sure that people that belong on the list are put on it. Beyond that... "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery" - Thomas Jefferson, 1787 ------------ "The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." "If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." - Samuel Adams

Where are the real patriots[^] instead of those who are only interested in protecting their guns?

When are you going to understand that statistics, especially in the social sciences, prove mothing? Absolutely nothing. They are like the Bible - you can find something to back up any view you already hold. Even in the hard sciences they have to be treated with caution. As for you last idiotic statement ... it barely even deserves a reply.
