"This Is What a Gun Control March on Washington Looks Like"

[Straw Man]

117. Calm myself down?

"Most children do not die from stray gang bullets." What racist nonsense. Is it really necessary that every single sentence you write reek of white male privilege?

"Race, unfortunately and tragically, factors into gun death at the metro level. The share of the population that is black is positively related to both the overall rate of gun death (.56) and even more so with gun-related homicides (.72). The pattern is similar for the share of the population that is comprised of young black males which is also positively related to the overall rate of gun death (.55) and murder by gun (.70)."

Why does it "reek of white male privilege" to be as concerned for young people of color in the inner city as I am for the children of Sandy Hook? Their death toll is a daily tragedy, and its cumulative numbers dwarf the Aurora and Sandy Hook murders. But it's one that is essentially ignored.

You are the one who insisted you needed assault weapons as part of forming some citizen military.

I said no such thing. My reference was to a conscript army, such as we had up through the Vietnam War era. Such an army benefits from a citizenry that is familiar with the use of firearms. Such an army also helps deflect excessive militarism in the exercise of foreign policy, since it represents a broad cross-section of the entire population. If the sons and daughters of our elected officials were in uniform alongside our own sons and daughters, there would in most cases be less of a rush to war.

Okay, so you maintain some hunters need AW with extended magazines.

No -- I said nothing about extended magazines. Reduced-capacity magazines are used in order to comply with game regulations. In cases where rifles are used for pest eradication, such restrictions do not apply and full-capacity magazines may be used.

I didn't realize the goal was to protect budding serial killers who like to see animals mutilated for kicks rather than assuring the Second Amendment rights of hunters.

I have no idea what you're talking about. This is incoherent hate-spew.

We clearly have nothing more to say to each other. You are not addressing me or anything that I have said. You are raging against some monstrous image of your own creation. Go in peace.
