    What a predictable pantload of crap! Would you say that Lee Rigby, late of Her Majesty's Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, had the freedom to be decapitated by two despicable creatures on a London street? Ooh... but that doesn't count does it... because after all he was murdered with a meat cleaver, NOT A GUN! When are you radical Leftists going to understand that it's PEOPLE who kill people -- not the TOOLS they use to kill them?!

    Monsters are monsters -- no matter HOW they're equipped!

    Ok, so you don't know of any examples of the prison system you're promoting has been tried and works. Your post is irrelevant to anything we're talking about.

    Like I said before, guns were viewed differnently at that time.
    It proves it when this (the US) is the only place it happens with such frequency

    How elemental does it have to BE, Roy...? Our prisons FAIL precisely because we refuse to keep criminals IN THEM for the full duration of LONG sentences. I tried to use a picture earlier to illustrate the point, but I guess you missed it....

    Make prison a thoroughly horrible, terrible place to be and even the "Criminals and Crazies" will be able to understand that!

    Attempt to 'get through', Number #2, with added emphasis:

    And so, it's NOT the guns, as per your claim, but how the guns are "viewed".
    Whatever that means.
    But, good of your to admit your error.
    Fact remains:
    Post hoc fallacy -- the correlation you cite does not prove the causation you claim.

    I have no issue with full term sentences.
    I just want dangerous people off the streets.

    And you can't understand that no one is advocating that only the good guys lay down their arms.
    Or that suggestions have been made to force the bad guys to do that.
    No one is naive enough to think it would be easy, quick or foolproof.
    What we do think is that there has to be something better than what you have right now. That defending the status quo means you are on a downward spiral into each side upping the game ans innocent people being caught in the crossfire.
    Ans that no matter how many guns the good guys have, they won't defeat the bad guys. Nor will it save you if you are confronted by someone better trained or luckier than you.
    Or you are caught offguard.
    The ridiculous argument about government coup is just too silly to consider. Your system of govt and military would not allow it.
    And frankly, if the military did back à coup, an armed population wouldnt stand à chance.
    Your problem isn't that the crazies threaten your lives every day. The problem is that the state does not uphold the law. It has left it to you and allowed this to happen, fed generously by unelected immoral capitalists who feed fear to gain sales.
    As usual, if you make people frightened, they will be complaint. They tell you you are free while whispering reasons to do as they tell you. And so many don't see the contradiction. They merely regurgitate what they have been told to say.

    Oh dear. I most certainly do not. I vote and if I don't like something I join active groups and work legally for change.
    It is criminals who give the government the finger. They refuse to obey the law. And they are what you object to.
    I think you need to think this out again.

    LOL Lefty way. Defund the police, let criminals walk the streets because we have so many in jail, keep the cartels pumping, guns and drugs across their open border. The answer well ofcourse disarm the law abiding civilians. I've said it over and over, get the criminals guns, and close the border from cartel guns then we can talk about taking law abiding citizens guns. You damn sure aren't taking mine while your beloved gun toting bangers are heavily armed.

    I'm just going to remind you and any other readers hear what you said the government should do at one point....

    You said that they should go door to door forcefully vaccinating people and "make an example of" any who resist.

    You also said that any who don't get the vaccine should be carted off to prison for one year and fined $1,000 and their children permanently taken away from them.

    When people talk about tyrannical governments they're talking about anyone remotely like you getting into a position of power

    Of course you "don't know"..... That would destroy the media's false narrative that so many of these Mass shooters are white which is a damn lie

    Only if Home Depots are eradicated. Does the state have the power to do that?
    Guns are pipes with a handle. Think it through.

    Yup. Do you normally require strangers on the internet to talk you out of shooting a politician?

    If you think making an unjust law that persecutes 40% of Americans overnight is smart, please stay where you are.

    I'm so sorry that we have rights that you cannot possibly comprehend and prefer to live in a cage, devoid of both freedom and choice. We also have a first amendment which guarantees is the right to give the gov the finger, which I wouldn't do if I were you since you count on them for everything.

    You seem uniquely unaware of the world around you. Why try to push such an obvious fantasy here?

    This is why people respond to you with comedy, because your statements appear to be awash in movie fantasy. What you call a fantasy is what the law enforcement community and the military refer to as training. When you attend seminars and training classes you are given a series of scenarios based on the topic. For instance dynamic entry classes focus on making quick and safe entry to a variety of structures, then what to do once your inside with whatever intel you've gathered. Because this befuddles you, it will seem like a fantasy. The reality, which I promise you cannot comprehend, is not unlike a batter watching and thinking about a pitch to hit.

    Every police agency and military on the face of the earth since the dawn of time practices what you think you may encounter, so you don't get in there and become a sniveling baby that doesn't know what to do and gets killed. You won't understand this, because you think someone else should do these things for you.

    They probably won't.

    Just to be fair, my brother in law had adopted a dog from a friend's family member that could no longer take care of them. BIL was advised the dog had abandonment issues, and so he got a cage to put dog in while they were at work so the dog dog wouldn't tear the house up.

    Only for the dog to chew through the metal bars and escape, causing a mess.

    While looking for new cage options, they had to leave dog in house alone, and after a couple days learned that the dog was just afraid they would abandon him. When they kept coming home, he got better, and no longer needed a cage.

    The moral is, a one size fits all option of prison will not work for every situation. As much as people on both sides of the political spectrum want that easy mode button, they will have to put in the hard work and effort to forge a brighter future.

    What about repeat offenders? If some perp continuously commits crimes after light prison sentences over and over again (see NYC), then maybe they haven't spent enough time in prison. Maybe if they get incarcerated until they are 60 will put them in a better frame of mind once they get out.

    Why should yours or my life be in peril because some rich politicians whose lives are well protected makes some liberal decision only to oppose the other political spectrum?

    They definitely are not letting perps walk to benefit the peaceful citizens who would never commit crimes. Especially, those in the lower class spectrum, mostly minorities. Basically, this liberal agenda is hurting minorities more than anything because they get stuck living in crime ridden neighborhoods just so some rich white politicians can say they are woke and helping other liberal politicans ambitions.

    The American Revolution was an "internal coup".
    Do you think the Founders did not know that?
