The gun culture needs to change.

First ban all gun advertising that references violence or self defense, hunting and target shooting ok.

Second gun producers need to stop marketing based on self defense and paranoia.

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

So making yourself irrelevant is your solution? hack89 Feb 2014 #51

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
