I didn't actually call for the banning of all guns in the OP. Agschmid Aug 2015 #71

The what ARE you suggesting? cleanhippie Aug 2015 #73

I'm suggesting us to have this conversation and take a stand... Agschmid Aug 2015 #85

Then start the conversation, explaining WHY you feel a certain way. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #90

It doesn't from 99% of 125 million legal gun owners. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #182

67% of homicides are committed with guns. Agschmid Aug 2015 #183

Mostly by people who posess said gun illegally. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #186

I don't ignore that fact. Agschmid Aug 2015 #188

Lol. And just how would that reduce gun crime since 99% of those owners don't commit a crime? cleanhippie Aug 2015 #196

How do the people illegally obtain guns? Agschmid Aug 2015 #202
