    so you love FDR so much that my bashing a corrupt administration that prolonged the depression and raped the constitution offends you so much you pretend that is the reason why you want to ignore me

    I suggest you run away from me because your points are silly and I have destroyed them. Your failure to actually say what your position is-as noted by others-is pretty disingenuous as well

    "extreme and hostile language" bashing a politician on a political forum

    OMG THE HORROR THE HORROR

    I grew up and have lived in Texas off and on for a long time; I've never had a gun pulled on me here, or have even been in range to hear a gunshot outside of a shooting range or on a hunting trip, yet I have had one pulled on me in NYC, LA, SF, over the years. I've have had one pulled on me in Italy and France, two of the countries on that chart. I would say most places in the U.S. are as safe or safer than anywhere in Europe re gun crimes. Guess which communities have the most violent crime and gun deaths in the U.S.? ...

    Okay, now the morons can get back to their idiotic FDR bashing fest.

    I never said there were holes in your theory so the answer is resoundingly NO. What I said was demanding data that is not available and then claiming victory when it can't be supplied is an invalid tactic.

    Why are State governors as commanders in chief of that which is declared necessary to the security of a free State being given a free pass.

    You are making a really silly assumption there.

    Johnny has spelled out his position in the past.

    He wants to ban all semi-automatic weapons from civilian use. He also advocates for the banning of all firearms capable of carrying more than six rounds.

    If he denies this, I will produce quotes directly from the horse's mouth.

    I believe that he has realized how extremist his views are, even amongst his usual allies and is therefore leery of voicing any specifics.

    when he put me on ignore (or claimed to) for me bashing the Odious FDR administration I knew I was dealing with extremism

    and for 40 years I have dealt with gun banners and getting straight answers from them has always been a real chore since most of them are dishonest about their real motivations to state with

    its conservative control not crime control that motivates them

    Really? I've asked you 6 times now to state your position. Several others have done the same. Either you're scared to answer or you are trolling this thread.

    Yes you said that in response to me saying there were no holes in my theory. Im glad you now agree that there arent any holes in my theory. You guys h blurt every gun stat known except the most important. Criminals are your problem not law abiding citizens with guns. Deal with it.

    Every criminal with a gun is just a law abiding citizen with a gun that got caught. We just haven't caught the rest of them misusing their weapons yet.

    You are either a criminal or a law abiding citizen. You can not be both. I understand your confusion and why you are so misinformed about the issue because to you, you likely see every one with a gun as a criminal.


    Just the way it should be so people like you don't go around confusing the law-abiding people with the criminals.

    You may not realize it but you just made the case why free people should be well armed.

    Two more times, I think rahl is right, about 12 times you've claimed quit. You argue like a woman.

    Here's a crazy idea, instead of quitting over and over and over, you could answer our questions.

    The vast majority of gun owners in the USA never commit crimes, and the vast majority of guns used to commit crimes in the USA are owned illegally.

    So its a very small percentage of our society, who own guns illegally, that are responsible for gun crimes.
