30 gun deaths a day for the last 30 years.........adds up and up and up. Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #17
Did you even read your own link? hack89 Jun 2014 #20
So America is no more than a mini genocide, got it? Still with the insults, really pathetic. Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #23
It does not meet any accepted definition of genocide. hack89 Jun 2014 #26
90/ day, 30,000 a year, forever and ever, amen, is my standard. Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #29
So if the rate continues to decline, it will no longer be genocide? hack89 Jun 2014 #31
Hack, what do you call it? toby jo Jun 2014 #46
Since two thirds of the deaths are sucides, I call it a healthcare crisis hack89 Jun 2014 #47
The murder rate for 2012 increased. No data yet for 2013. tabasco Jun 2014 #140
So a small increase after cutting the rate in half hack89 Jun 2014 #142
The rate in violent crime was not cut in half. tabasco Jun 2014 #143
Our murder and manslaughter rate is half of what it was hack89 Jun 2014 #144
The number you pulled out of a keyboard is incorrect. former9thward Jun 2014 #22
What an ignorant way to make an argument, so for you American gundeaths are at good levels? Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #25

They have tried every way possible to defend something indefensible. Their rage doesn't assist them. Judi Lynn Jun 2014 #75
I appreciate yours, lot of misinformed opinion out there. Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #76
So you think gun violence in America is genocide? hack89 Jun 2014 #82
Do you believe suicide is tantamount to genocide? IronGate Jun 2014 #105
Compared to the other leading causes of death they barely register.. EX500rider Jun 2014 #55
Those are natural diseases, not brains blown out....really, that is pathetic. Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #57
So one who dies violently by a firearm IronGate Jun 2014 #58
120,000 a year from accidents is not a disease. EX500rider Jun 2014 #62
Since all people die, why bother with trying to delay death, THAT is your logic? Please proceed. Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #64
No my logic was people kill other people and have done so way before guns.. EX500rider Jun 2014 #65
you might review the definition of "genocidal" pipoman Jun 2014 #24
American gun genocide,yes it is, and my 30/day was in error, more like 90 a day. Apologies. Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #27
So sucide is a genocidal act? Didn't know that. nt hack89 Jun 2014 #32
Not surprised. Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #33
So you really think sucide is a genocidal act? Wow. nt hack89 Jun 2014 #35
I am not surprised either since NOBODY knows that since it's not true.. n/t EX500rider Jun 2014 #63
Perhaps you can explain how someone choosing to take their own life is genocidal? IronGate Jun 2014 #66
When it happens 10,000 times a year, every year? Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #67
That's not genocide, that's individuals choosing to end their existence on earth. IronGate Jun 2014 #68
So genocide is ongoing in many countries as we speak? Nt hack89 Jun 2014 #84
Apparently "genocide" is happening in almost EVERY country....who knew? EX500rider Jun 2014 #87

Visa knows that most Americans don't care hack89 Jun 2014 #53
Visa probably doesn't care about an online, worthless petition with a few thousand signatures. IronGate Jun 2014 #54
Thanks for signing the petition! SecularMotion Jun 2014 #59
Except I didn't, and I wouldn't. IronGate Jun 2014 #60
I wasn't going to sign the petition, but you convinced me to. Thank you. olddad56 Jun 2014 #78
Good for you, it's still meaningless. IronGate Jun 2014 #85
BTW, where did you get the idea I signed this worthless petition? IronGate Jun 2014 #61
Yes, keep the faith. Downer posters should be ignored, they got really fragile egos it seems. Fred Sanders Jun 2014 #69
Not downer posters or fragile egos. IronGate Jun 2014 #70

Doubling down? BrotherIvan Jun 2014 #124
I think your world revolves around some notion of NRA talking points. Eleanors38 Jun 2014 #126
I'm glad we're having this exchange so people can see how much compassion pro gun people have BrotherIvan Jun 2014 #129
