$1000 per bullet tax.... mike_c Feb 2014 #65

Good ideas actually. If you ever see a NRA magazine you would think every night 1000s of homes.... Logical Feb 2014 #72

When gun violence starts increasing nationwide instead of steadily falling would be my guess. hack89 Feb 2014 #9

Regurgitate all you want upaloopa Feb 2014 #15

The truth is the truth hack89 Feb 2014 #16

I have no interest in talking about it any more upaloopa Feb 2014 #17

I certainly understand why. nt hack89 Feb 2014 #18

I really and honestly hope you do! upaloopa Feb 2014 #20

Ignoring actual facts on gun violence is not extremist - it is irrational. hack89 Feb 2014 #22

The fact is people with guns are shooting upaloopa Feb 2014 #24

No, I do not ignore that fact hack89 Feb 2014 #29

Like I said I am not interested any more upaloopa Feb 2014 #32

So what laws would make it zero hack89 Feb 2014 #33

I am moving in the direction of outlawing guns. upaloopa Feb 2014 #47

Are you willing to give up your own firearms to the police for destruction? oneshooter Feb 2014 #67

Only have one Ruger single six .22 upaloopa Feb 2014 #70

I guess that makes you both extremist and irrational. DanTex Feb 2014 #25

The FBI would disagree with you hack89 Feb 2014 #30

LOL. Still mixing gun crimes with non-gun crimes, I see! DanTex Feb 2014 #36

Time for some actual numbers on your part, don't you think? hack89 Feb 2014 #38

Sure, see my link with the CDC data. DanTex Feb 2014 #42

Could you provide the actual link? nt hack89 Feb 2014 #45

It's kinda cute that even though we've been over this like 20 times, you keep playing dumb! DanTex Feb 2014 #56

Looks like you are right. hack89 Feb 2014 #58

Shootings are way up (about 30% since 2001) with a recent downtick (about 10%) in deaths. DanTex Feb 2014 #61

Ok. hack89 Feb 2014 #62

Your facts are skewed, they don't take into count accidents or suicides. Bandit Feb 2014 #40

The total number of gun deaths due to all causes has steadily fallen. hack89 Feb 2014 #46

You mean, like in the last decade, during which gun assaults have increased? DanTex Feb 2014 #23

So if I go to the FBI crime reports and look at aggravated assaults hack89 Feb 2014 #27

LOL. Here we go again. Look at gun assaults. Aggravated assaults include non-gun crimes. DanTex Feb 2014 #34

So that table that detailed aggravated assaults with firearms? hack89 Feb 2014 #35

Nice, cling to the argument even after it's been proven false. DanTex Feb 2014 #39

The FBI stats show that firearm aggravated assaults declined. hack89 Feb 2014 #41

Should have known. NRAers don't change their minds based on data. DanTex Feb 2014 #48
