    Just going by the stats.
    And its more like overly insecure, rather then "well armed".
    Well armed is attack helicopters...the navy, etc

    Edit: Conservative media. I blame them for so many americans being so overly insecure.

    Healthcare expansion has absolutely been fought against by Republicans. Note I said “some Republicans” on background checks so you are in agreement with me there which is why you phrased it as “the majority of Republicans”.

    So it isn’t really strawman arguments on my end as you have asserted — is a reading comprehension from individual that cannot comprehend the basic words being used.

    No, but drunken fist fighting is pretty much a national sport in UK.

    Here we gun down the opponent and some bystanders.

    Speaking of communication difficulties.

    Did you know that if you don't insult people that they will be more likely to want to conversate with you? But since you can't do that I'm going to go away now and let you have a fine afternoon. I said good day sir.

    And it's "it's".... Not "is"

    Guns are merely A problem. Not THE problem. The primary problem is cultural. There are some places in the world with cultures that can handle a prevalence of guns. USA isn't one of them.

    Neither of which the Taliban used to stimy the best military in the world for 20 years... they did that primarily with small arms and IEDs.

    Laughable. Your entire response to me was a thinly vailed insult. As they almost always are.

    I am sure you believe that is an effective debate strategy though. I give what I am given, nothing more and nothing less. If you are feeling insulted then your posts are likely insulting.

    I won’t whine about you insulting me though and cry for you to stop.
    I expect nothing more.

    The majority of us gun owners are law abiding citizens.

    How come no one wants to look at the groups that are generally responsible?

    Heh, the object is to survive. They were blowing up their children too using them as bombs.

    The group responsible? You sure you want to do this on a group level?

    Ok. "Americans with Guns" is the group responsible.

    Gun control is an attack on conservatives only in the eyes of a truly insecure person.

    Its commonsense in most places.

    there is nothing commonsense about laws that claim that criminalizing harmless behavior will stop those who are intending to commit serious felonies.

    the only thing commonsense about gun control is that it harasses lawful gun ownership

    Not really the best strategy for winning hearts and minds... but then again, neither is whatever we did, apparently.

    But the fact remains, the Taliban are in charge of their country because they have a population insistant on resistance ...and the arms to affect it. And it doesnt take helicopters or battleships.

    No one looks at it? All eyes are on it, because the economic consequence of gangs is in billions per year (LE, health care, justice systems, etc). Prisons are packed full of gang bangers. Who told you no one looks at it?

    wrong: it turns people who have never harmed others into "criminals". to people like you, the crime is legally owning guns because you see legal gun owners as people who must be punished.

    The pink elephant in the room is that black people are known to go and shoot other people particularly other blacks.

    When you see a headline like two people shot at a funeral.... You automatically know it's not the Amish
