More bad news for VPC and please do engage in debate by providing proof that what I post is wrong instead of "the VPC said so" http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/20...r-than-defend-but-only-if-you-cook-the-books/
Then present competing data. Please how me the states with the most gun deaths. This should be simple.
Is this a misdirection, are you not willing to engage in debate. You present data, I present opposing data, you present proof my data is wrong. Why go off on a different tangent? Please respectfully uphold your end of the require request. I showed you studies and reports disputing VPC data, where was I wrong? Derailing or not engaging in respectful debate is a reportable offense.
It sure was nice to take a week break from the never ending circular argument regarding homicides vs "gun deaths".
It is no different than you presenting the opinion pieces of the violence policy center and labeling it as being evidence. If that is insufficient evidence for you, then try the following. A collection of tweets made by others advocating that the members of the NRA be murdered. http://bulletsfirst.net/2013/09/04/gun-owners-act-with-class-the-hateful-left-acts-with-crass/ Then present it again. And continue presenting it every single time that you are pressed for such. Proof is demanded, you present it. That is how a debate works. You have yet to actually explain anything. All that has been presented is opinion pieces from biased activist organizations, and mindless blathering about the optimistic belief that the impossible will suddenly become possible if one simply tries and believes hard enough.
You think a series of tweets makes your case about ALL gun control advocates? Really? I have played that game....I don't enjoy it I can not explain per capita data to you again - - - Updated - - - Yep I could
Suicides are of no relevance and will not be discussed. They are only brought up by those who are deliberately intellectually dishonest.
Some people show up and throw grenades in the room instead of respectful debate.....those that throw grenades, get time outs. You could try shooting for the choice of when you take a break, eh?
They will be discussed by me because they are totally relevant. - - - Updated - - - Are you debating now....I can't really tell.
Do you honestly believe that isolated incidents of violence should be used as the basis for completely changing the laws of the united states, in the desperate hope that maybe something can be done about it? What you do and do not enjoy is of no relevance. You have yet to actually explain anything. All that has been presented is opinion pieces from biased activist organizations, and mindless blathering about the optimistic belief that the impossible will suddenly become possible if one simply tries and believes hard enough. - - - Updated - - - And they will continue to be ignored because they are not homicides, and you will be rebuked for knowingly engaging in intellectual dishonesty.
They are not isolated. Gun deaths are statistically WAY to high in this country It is of relevance to me. Nothing is impossible
The obvious question of "so what?" must be asked with regard to the above. What difference does it make? Why does it matter how the united states compares to other nations around the world in this one area, but not in any other area? Which is irrelevant in and of itself. You have failed to prove such.
It does matter to voters. That's why Republicans have both sides of Congress and the Whitehouse. And not just the Republicans, but the ant-establishment Republicans who want to drain Washington of all of this corruption, and restore freedom, law and order, and fiscal responsibility
Both the attorney general for the state of Nevada, and the FBI, which is the chief law enforcement agency for the united states, has stated in unequivocal, undeniable, flat out terms, that the recently enacted background check requirement is completely unenforceable, and no resources will be devoted to it. Not only is the mandate unenforceable according to them, but they have stated that they outright refuse to enforce it. Therefore the state of Nevada has absolutely nothing. Not so much as one single private individual in the state of Nevada will be arrested, charged, or even prosecuted for selling a firearm without performing a background check. Those in charge of the matter have stated as much, meaning that no new legislation has been enacted in the state. You do not even have your argument anymore, as it has been forcibly taken away from you by your own law enforcement.
