Bob Costas should be fired off NBC for his guns comment

[Openmind]

So...are you admitting that gun control laws do not work? Or do you believe that outlawing guns nationwide will remove guns from all Americans including criminals and thus make cities like Chicago safer?

I am betting you believe the later, which would indicate a inability to reason.

And you continue to spout lies...like most radical leftists....the big lie promoted by your friends in the left media is owning a gun is risky because it is more likely to be used on you or a loved one, is total and complete bullshit....but as a good little foolish leftist you believe the lie.

You would rather be defenseless because like a typical liberal sissy, you are afraid of guns. And you want me and all Americans to also be defenseless.

Liberals are most intolerant.

Because "guns" work as a protection, right???

Father fatally shoots son outside Pennsylvania gun store

(Reuters) - A seven-year-old boy was shot to death by his father on Saturday in the parking lot of a gun store in western Pennsylvania in an apparent accident, state police told Reuters.

Craig Allen Loughrey was shot in the chest by a handgun his father, Joseph V. Loughrey, 44, was holding as they were getting into the family vehicle at Twig's Reloading Den in Mercer, about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh, a Pennsylvania State Police spokesman said.

The boy died at the scene of the shooting, which happened at 10:50 a.m. His father was questioned by investigators, but police said the evidence pointed to an accident.

The two were from nearby Fredonia, Pa., police said.

You need guns to protect yourselves. Cops are not supermen,,They cant be there at a split second when someone is robbing you raping you or mugging you. If an intruder comes into your home or someone is trying to rob you in the street or attacking you in a parking garage you need to act pull out that gun and protect yourself.

Heres Another reason you need to carry a gun

JURUPA VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Sheriff's officials in Southern California say they've arrested a man for stealing the same Bentley twice in a week.
Riverside County Sheriff's Sgt. Andrew Elia said in a statement Friday that 46-year-old Robert Ponti was first arrested Tuesday, after deputies say they watched him get into a stolen 2005 Bentley Coupe parked outside a residence in Jurupa Valley.
The luxury car had been reported stolen from Orange County while the owners were out of town. Ponti was pulled over and arrested, along with a passenger.
On Friday, deputies saw the car parked outside the same residence, found Ponti at the home and took him back into custody. The vehicle was seized.

Stealing a bentley twice? That shows where cops proirities are.

Theyre a lot better things to do than to do this.

You post ONE incident and conclude because of it, all Americans must give up their rights to guns. Is this how some on the left think? Well then, we better let the liberal elites out law a lot of things, if one accidental death might occur. Liberal UTOPIA!!!

And yet, liberals have no problem with the wanton murder of millions of the truly innocent, in the womb. One would think libs would find accidental deaths by guns a benefit to the planet by limiting population...like they do baby killing....but then gun control is not about preventing accidental deaths.

Gun control is really about power and control....not preventing tragic deaths.....and yet many rank and file libs are incapable of recognizing this.

Thats why we need southern states to break away from the union. TEXAS LAW! Not l.iberal law.

Okay three (but you posted only one)....so lets breech the Constitution AGAIN and take away gun rights from law abiding Americans....of course, you know the criminals will keep their guns...right?

You like most libs have fallen for the big lie. The big lie that taking guns away will stop violence. It will not....but it will give the State much more power over the individual....but then libs like an overpowering overbearing central state....right?

 

[steveox]

Now if everybody had a gun inside that Oregon mall many people wouldnt die. Ever wonder why you didnt get random shootings back in those wild west days?

And you have fallen for the big like. That guns will keep you safe. which OBVIOUSLY it doesn't!

Why don't you look at statistics of countries who have few guns and the death crime related death (both gun related and others) and tell me that there is no history there.

If everybody (or even several people) had a gun inside that mall. . .MANY people would have been victim of cross fire.

Because there was only ONE gun, three people died, and one is seriously injured.

Why don't you look at statistics of countries who have few guns and the death crime related death (both gun related and others) and tell me that there is no history there.

And you cite other nations stats as proof that Americans need to give up their right to self defense, turn in their guns, and breech the Constitution AGAIN. Your proof has been refuted numerous times, but you libs never learn....mostly because you are misinformed thanks to the lying media sources you patronize.

Guns are used in self defense in this nation every day resulting in the savings of lives and property. But you wouldn't know this because your media sources won't tell you the truth.

Yep. . . There really is no reason to review the gun laws, Right!

I guess now you will think it might be a good idea to issue a handgun to every first grader?

Now. . . Look how many lives have been saved by your guns in Newtown!

SICK!

And, by the way, I never said that ALL GUN should be made unlawful.

But only gun addicts and crazy people are stupid enough to think that "everything is allright with our free access to guns, including semi automatic weapons!"

And my statistics are clear and accurate. . . .so, if you have factual statistics that contradict those. . . Provide them.

If not shut the F ..up.

It is not because you take a "big voice and call statistics that do not please you lies that it changes the reality of things.

Your arrogance doesn't replace proper factual sources.

By the way, there is another FACTUAL,sources that shows that having a gun in the house TRIPLES your chance to get killed.

Gun Control Issues, Public Health, and Safety

Gunshot wounds impact severely on the criminal justice as well as health care systems. Some basic statistics are important in understanding the magnitude and severity of the social and economic burden to the U.S. The subject remains contentious. (Glantz and Annas, 2009)

In the U.S. for 2010, there were 31,513 deaths from firearms, distributed as follows by mode of death: Suicide 19,308; Homicide 11,015; Accident 600. This makes firearms injuries one of the top ten causes of death in the U.S. The number of firearms-related injuries in the U.S., both fatal and non-fatal, increased through 1993, declined to 1999, and has remained relatively constant since. However, firearms injuries remain a leading cause of death in the U.S., particularly among youth (CDC, 2001) (Sherry et al, 2012).

The rates of firearms deaths in the U.S. vary significantly by race and sex. The U.S. national average was 10.2 deaths per 100,000 population in 2009. The highest rate was 28.4/100,000 for African-American males, more than quadruple the rate of 6.3/100,000 for white males. (CDC, 2009)

The number of non-fatal injuries is considerable--over 200,000 per year in the U.S. Many of these injuries require hospitalization and trauma care. A 1994 study revealed the cost per injury requiring admission to a trauma center was over $14,000. The cumulative lifetime cost in 1985 for gunshot wounds was estimated to be $911 million, with $13.4 billion in lost productivity. (Mock et al, 1994) The cost of the improper use of firearms in Canada was estimated at $6.6 billion per year. (Chapdelaine and Maurice, 1996)

A study of firearm deaths in high income countries (Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom (England and Wales), United Kingdom (Northern Ireland), United Kingdom (Scotland), and the United States) was conducted with data from the World Health Organization assembled by the WHO from the official national statistics of each individual country from 2003 (Richardson and Hemenway, 2011). The total population for the United States for 2003 was 290.8 million while the combined population for the other 22 countries was 563.5 million. There were 29,771 firearm deaths in the US and 7,653 firearm deaths in the 22 other countries. Of all the firearm deaths in these 23 high-income countries in 2003, 80% occurred in the US. In the US the overall firearm death rate was 10.2 per 100,000, the overall firearm homicide rate 4.1 per 100,000, and the overall homicide rate 6.0 per 100,000, with firearm homicide rates highest persons 15 to 24 years of age. For the US the overall suicide rate was 10.8 per 100,000, and slightly over half of these deaths were firearm suicide (5.8 per 100,000). Firearm suicides rates increased with age. In the other high income countries 2003 the overall firearm death rate was 1.4 per 100,000, the overall firearm homicide rate 0.2 per 100,000, and the overall homicide rate 0.9 per 100,000. Firearm homicide rates were highest in the 25 year old to 34 year old age group. The overal suicide rate was 14.9 per 100,000 with a overall firearm suicide rate of 1.0 per 100,000.

Why do YOU care about the dead children when you are a proponent of baby murder in the womb? Do you fail to see the hypocrisy in your position?

Your beloved Right To Chose.....MURDER....has murderer over 50 million American babies since Roe v Wade was unconstitutionally made law by dipshits in black robes. So again, why do you care about these unfortunate child deaths when millions are murdered thanks to people like you?

You fail to comprehend that the left elite wants gun control merely to make the people more afraid and dependent on Big Government...thus making them more powerful. But then, maybe you like being dependent.
