According to biased left polls 52% of Americans oppose further gun restrictions.

Also gun control ranked 19 out of 23 of important issues with only 2% saying it was one of the nations important issue. So there's 18 more important issues the president and congress should concern it's self with.

You're Such s hypocrite . So it's ok for your side to lecture people on not putting any measures forward but when one of us then turns it around and says he hasn't himself then we'll the bad guys. Wish you'd stayed away for good.
those "biased left polls" are Gallup polls, one of the most respected names in data collection. I'm curious where you're getting 19 out of 23 from.

feel free to link to where you saw Doxx put forward a solution. until then, please don't call me names, thanks!

Lukeda420 told raptor to suggest a regulation
Dox told Lukeda420 where's his regulation since you saying raptor needs to suggest one
You call dox a bully.
I say dox isn't a bully for telling Lukeda420 to do as he preaches,
So your s hypocrite for thinking it's ok for Lukeda420 to demand something but not ok for dox to demand the same from Lukeda420
I didn't call doxx a bully. I'll admit I didn't really read luke's posts, my mistake.

the problem with that is that most weapons used by mass shooters are legally bought. you don't get to claim it's regulated when that kind of thing happens.

By that logic nothing is regulated then. Criminals get illegal liquor so it's not regulated. People drive cars without license so cars aren't regulated, people get illegal prescription drugs so prescription are in regulated. People murder so murder is unregulated. Etc etc etc
I don't think you've thought that position through. the logical conclusion of claiming that laws don't work, ergo everything is unregulated is the abolishment of all laws altogether.

So what, you just walk into 7-11 and buy a gun like a slurpee?
Maybe from a vending machine somewhere?
Nah, I don't even have to get into my car

that's just some random site I picked out of google, there's a bunch more results for "private gun vendors"

That's a private sale. Same as you can sell anything else you own to anyone else who can legally own said item without the government being involved. That's not a loop hole that is how the founders and the people who wrote the laws wants it to be. You know freedom and all that.

it is a loophole if one or more of the parties doesn't report everything/anything at all.

Listen up *******
That's your logic not mine. You said that if a bad person some how gets a gun and does a mass shooting then guns are regulated. That's what you said not me. I only applied your failed stupid idiocy logic to other regulations.

If the definition of regulation is bad people never every do the thing that's regulated . Then nothing is regulated. As no regulation will stop crime.

So ! !!YOU!! ! Are the one not thinking ! !! !!YOUR!! !! position through.

Sly,

I never "demanded" anything. I asked a question, and I don't think I've done any "preaching" either. I think you and Dox are sincere I just don't understand where you're coming from. I think Raptor shares your view but I think he being a bit obnoxious about it and is just trying to get a rise out of people.
I respect your beliefs Sly, I just don't understand them. I guess we'll just continue to see things differently.

No **** no one is required to report selling private property. I can go sell my DVD OR TV WITHOUT REPORTING It, GUNS ARE JUST OTHER PRIVATE PROPERTY. We are not all living in nazi state you live in , most of America is still free, freedom means you bought something it's yours, not the states, not the federal governments , yours. There's this thing called free interstate commerce which says if you sell something you legally bought to another person who can legally buy it inside your state then it's no one else's business. Agains it's called FREEDOM goo look it up some time unless nazi state your in has banned that too.

that's exactly the point though. everything else that was or has been remotely as dangerous as a gun got regulated. all except guns. and it's still possible in 2016, to go to some random shady dude, buy a gun completely anonymous and to a casual observer, completely legal, and it'll be an uphill battle for any law enforcement attempting to trace such a weapon.

How did this discussion end up becoming about guns, once again?

Look, unless you are in the military, police, security et cetera (i.e. unless you need one to do your job), you don't need a gun! Got it? The gun-fetishists here at WP are nothing but trolls who hate President Obama because he's black, but are too afraid to say so, so they make up this crap about him "takin' away our God-given right to bear arms, hot dang! Yeee-ha!"

Go on, admit it - you want someone in the White House who is actually white. Don't deny it. I've never come across such vitriol directed at any President before, not even the other Democratic ones like Clinton and Carter. It obviously has to do with race.

So is big government.
Well, big government is evil spawned from bureaucracy and arrogance but still evil in effect.


On the subject of big government being evil - only when they don't do their job caring for those in need.
You still didn't answer my question if bigotry is evil.

I'll just let your imagination run wild with that one. 8)


Does that include mental images of a man with an eagle's head typing on a computer, and laughing maniacally? :lol:
