    you were making a racially based argument.

    I responded in kind to show you how ridiculous your argument was.

    colin ferguson might be black, but a lot of othe murderers (even excluding perpetrators of mass killings) are white.

    so what you are saying is that america's murder rate is high because god makes liberal americans commit lots of murders because he doesn't like hypocrites?

    thank reason I live in australia where we are more likely to be left of american liberals, and atheists to boot.

    seems God thinks we are too far gone to care whether we are hypocrites or not.

    Black culture is full of interaction, Southern rednecks call it jive talking; it probably helps them more than hurts. But it did not stop a black nut from walking into a mall and shooting at random and then walking outside and standing there as if he did nothing; the only saving grace was the size of his gun:

    "He is James Calvin Brady, a 32-year-old man who was released from a mental institution last April and went out the same day and bought a $139 revolver and 12 bullets at a pawnshop. The next day, he caught a bus to Atlanta's Perimeter Mall, ambled over to a crowded food court and opened fire, killing one person and wounding four others." http://www.nytimes.com/1991/04/28/w...is-a-little-gun-control-better-than-none.html

    Where does it say he was black? Oh, here it is, you have to go there:

    "Original caption:Atlanta: A man identified as James Calvin Brady, 31, is taken to jail from a local police station near the suburban mall where Brady is charged with firing into a crowd of about 200 people killing 1 man and shooting 4 others 4/24. Papers found on Brady indicated he was released from a local mental hospital 4/23."
    http://www.corbisimages.com/stock-p...lice-escorting-sniper-james-calvin-brady-into

    Pawn shop, and $139, means economics could have played a part in it being less than 20.

    It helps gun control if the nut has a history.

    I have to wonder where you get your information!

    it is common knowledge that the US murder rate is higher than that in any other OECD nation.

    your sources are rubbish.

    you also have a very loose understanding of the meaning of "fact" and "truth"

    I guess you just don't know you're wrong, which probably vomes from relying on dubious sources that reinforce your beliefs.

    There is no excuse for that.

    you are right. you don't know about australia.

    gun crime was not significant here before the buy back, nor was it afterwards.

    If there are a lot of guns available, and in the hands of criminals, a gun buy back would not reduce the incidence of gun crime, but I am also not sure that it would increase it either.

    there are a number of factors wich can be linked to increases in reported crimes, most of which have nothing to do with the availability of guns.

    Serial Killers come primarily from the Caucasian race.

    That proves that my race does indeed embrace exceptionalism when it comes to violent death inflicted randomly on other people.

    Wrong, I said it was not race but culture. Two different things entirely.

    I think he must be the same troll (from the "Independence Institute", aka NRA) I saw yesterday on a Cross Talk debate on RT.

    Same parroting of the same nihilist line.

    All serial killers murders combined will not touch other races' murders overall. This is an absurd argument.

    I'm just taking breaks because arguing with people that are incorrect, ignore facts, and are unwilling to change their minds gets irritating.

    Why should anyone change their minds because you demand so?

    Show us some facts.

    From what I have read it dipped slightly after the gun buyback but regained it's statistical level shortly after.

    From the Australian Institute of Criminalogy,, there has been a decrease in gun related crmes since 1978 and then a sharp drop after the buyback scheme. Since 2001 the decrease in gun related crime has been decreasing like it was pre 1997.

    So what you read is true.

    Incorrect. White serial killers who kill random strangers make the news more, and you're just naive enough to believe the news is reality. Roving warlord militias in 3rd world African nations kill thousands of random strangers on a daily basis, but since their black, "over there", and not being covered by Pierce Anthony, you don't think it's actually happening.

    Although there's a germ of truth in there, it's not that people don't think it's happening, it's that they are considered 'mass murderers' or 'war criminals' rather than 'serial killers'.

    you really don't want to go there.

    Europeans did not dominate the globe for 500 years because they were friendly and nice.

    No one was "friendly and nice," if you're speaking about war. Europeans battled each other as well. Some Europeans were not white. Rethink your approach, ma'am.

    Yep. America too often glorifies VIOLENCE... and that is a problem which fuels the gun insanity.

    When more and certain people die... political action WILL change this nation. We have a LOT of suffering and sadness to go, before we acquire some real sanity. :(

    what do you mean by "white?"

    if you look at the deaths "whites" have been responsible for, they are not underrepresented in comparison to everyone else.

    What Europeans were not white?

    Are you referring to Greeks, Italians, Portuguese or Spaniards?

    Look at what deaths? You're speaking about a huge time frame as if it were one encounter between a few old rivals. Give me a story to work with. What deaths are you referring to?
