Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Gun control hypocrisy at its best [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)74. if he had a felony conviction
or a restraining order against him, possessing one would be illegal for him. What would be legal for me would be illegal for him, if that is the case. You knew him better than I do.
the outdated number of 30K are mostly suicides.
See propaganda to me is watching the NRA produced "The Secret War on Guns" - it's no longer running, I saved it on my DVR to remind myself how they pretty much called for revolution and the end our our President, one way or another. They want people like me dead, you know "liberals"
that is also propaganda. All advertising is propaganda.

I'd rather see billionaires spend their money trying to save lives, vs just using up the earths resources. That's just me, I care more about people vs guns or money.
his money does that too. I care about democracy and individual rights. I also care about people who use a gun to save themselves from violence as I do those who are murdered. I care about curbing all suicides and murders regardless of means because someone murdered with an ice pick or kills them-self with a rope is just as tragic. That is why I find the "gun death" meme intellectually bankrupt at best.

That is the key word. Unfortunately you lack the understanding to put it in full context.
