If you look at that sheet, it was 49 people shot last week.

350 shot this year

149 in February.

This is just shot, not shot and killed. Those numbers are also still high. 11 shot and killed last week, 67 for the year. So 67 in 2 months. That is almost 10 people shot and killed a week. Otherwise its like 44 shot a week, which is much close to 50 than 12. 12 is close if you are talking shot and killed, but I would like to think being shot in general is not a good thing. I doubt those 30+ people being shot but lived are fine being ignored for stat purposes in showing the city as being safer than it is.

There are 2 major differences:

1. Once again, if you blame the NRA or all gun owners on a mass shooting then I can blame all drinkers on drunk driving kills. Not to mention almost the majority of gun violence is due to alcohol. Most crime in America has an alcoholic component. Want to save lives? Then get rid of alcohol. (And yes, I know prohibition is a mess which is why I think instead of prohibition we need tougher anti-drunk laws).

2.  "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

With all due respect, what would an airline have ties with a gun organisation for? It seems so random.

The only reason the UK/Australia/Canada/etc. etc. are free is because of America.

If it weren't for us you guys would be a Soviet colony by now.

The only country that needs guns is the United States. Why do we need guns? Well, China just made Xi the permanent President. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/26/world/asia/china-xi-jinping-authoritarianism.html

THAT'S why we need guns.

Can you structure your argument more clearly? I don't see the point you're trying to make.

1. Where did I blame the NRA or all gun owners for mass shootings? I blame the availability of guns and ease of access for people to get guns. Would the number of gunrelated alcoholinduced homicides go down if there were less guns available? Ofcourse, which is evident in every country that has heavier weapon laws than the US. It always fascinates me how so many people who seem so suspicious of the government that having alot of weaponry somehow would make them feel safer, at the same time live in one of the unsafest country within the OECD. It doesn´t seem to help very much.

2. Exactly, and the text right there opens up for massive regulation of guns. The 2nd amendment doesn´t guarantee availability to all types of weaponry, the government could, if they wished, regulate so that you are only allowed to own up to two hunting rifles for example. They would still follow the 2nd amendment in that case since they don´t infringe on your right to bear arms, just the amount and types of arms. This has also been validated by the supreme court.

You are crazy.  There is no way, your  guns are going to protect  us from China.  They have nukes.   Just sit down.  Why do all of your paths lead in our death.  How to people even survive in other countries.  Has Russia taken over all other countries?  When did that happen? You can't do a damn thing to 'protect us from China'... you going over there to attack another countries for your own beliefs?  Just so you know thats why no one wants you to have a gun lol. 

China just made Xi it's Emperor.

Is that what you want the future of the world to be like? Under one Emperor?

During the Cold War it was the USA vs. Soviet Union. We could've let the Soviets take over Western Europe but we didn't. You should thank us every day for your freedom.

1. Yeah you're right, mass murders NEVER happen in Western Europe. Aside from Manchester, Paris, Nice, London, the German airplane dude, Norway, etc. etc.

Oh look - rape in London has increased 20% in just one year: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/rape-london-reports-met-police-rise-crime-sexual-assault-a8225821.html

In the UK, 2 10 year olds raped and beat a 2 year old (named James Burglar) for HOURS if not DAYS. They were both released under new names. Guess what? One of the murderers has been convicted of having child pornography. His sentence? 40 months. He only got 40 months!

Yeah, the UK is "safe" because they don't charge dangerous people with actual crimes. It's what Broward County does to lower it's crime rate - the crime rate is low when you don't charge people with crimes.

2. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. Meaning they can't limit us to how much we own - the Supreme Court already ruled on stuff like this in 2008.

Getting a gun should be like getting a drivers license.

You need a permit, and then take a formal test to get your license. You then need to renew your license every 2 or 3yrs. You need good eye vision to drive, if you have bad eye vision then maybe you shouldn't be shooting a gun. You need insurance, and regular maintenance checks. Gasoline is taxed, and you can't buy gasoline online, so they should do that for bullets as well.
