    And you're stalling CYDdharta.

    You can have a seat behind your soapbox, and parade these words before the audience to this forum all you want:

    "You keep saying that, but you have yet to explain how denying people their rights is pro community, pro second amendment, pro law, pro family, pro education, or pro United States of America.  It is, however, pro police state."


    What's your position? 
    How about we start with deciding on reasonable goals.  Unfortunate incidents like these are never going to stop. That being the case, the problem with falling for the media hype that accompanies every one of these attacks is that no measure can ever be considered effective.  Once we have a goal, the best way to go about achieving it is to

    A - deal with criminals more harshly.  Within five years of release, about three-quarters (76.6 percent) of released prisoners are rearrested.  Project Exile has proven to be quite successful.
    B - allow people to more easily defend themselves.  Police don't stop crimes from happening.  If they're really lucky, they can cut a crime in progress short, but mostly they just write up reports after the fact.  People need to be responsible for their own protection, of course to do so they need to have the mean to defend themselves at their disposal.

    What national TV news media outlets, like ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, PBS, WHRO, or maybe even NPR?

    Has stated in any of it's news media outlet coverage, say in the last 6 months, about this from you? 

    That the "United States of America. It is, however, pro police state."

    Where's your evidence to support your statement? 


    You can't soundbite someone's quote when you're having a conversation with them, they're going to call you on it.  In this case, a proper condensed version of the quote would be "you have yet to explain how denying people their rights is pro United States of America.  It is, however, pro police state."  The mainstream media has been going on about how denying illegals rights to which they are not entitled is unAmerican, and they've been calling Trump a fascist for trying to get immigration under control.

    Was your opinionated response? 

    So I answered your response with a relevant question.

    Do you maybe have any words of condolence for the family in Texas that lost their daughter? (<--- also nothing to do with gun control)

    And your response to that revelent question was this? 

    "How is this relevant to the debate at hand?" 

    So basically, your response is to, I"m guessing, is to maybe (balk) at any of the questions that you view as irrelevant? 

    No, if the question has nothing to do with gun control, then it's irrelevant. Like some of the where I used (<---) that means it's off topic

    In the face of the theme of the forum: 

    Should America have gun control?


    @Zombieguy1987

    Do you maybe have a response to this additional point of view? 

    How about some the offenders exercising some pro community common sense?

    I do debate, but I can't debate when you
    A. Go off topic 95% of the time with questions that are not worth wasting time with.
    B. You ignore other people's questions, and shows you want an eco-chamber
    C. You're inconsistent. You claim to be pro USA, but you seem to be against things from the U.S 

    I asked questions that are relevant to the theme of the forum 

    And my position was stated clearly.

    So please refrain from telling me what my position seems to be? 

    I'm pro community, pro family,, pro law, pro second amendment, pro first amendment, pro freedom of choice, and pro common sense.

    When some of the offenders, kill innocent people with their weapons, aren't they denying their victims, their rights to their own lives, that the offender took from them via the offenders gun violence committed against their victims?

    So the above is your commentary towards the criminals who killed innocent people with their guns, and they denied their victims their right to their very own life? 

    So maybe as long as you have your weapons, and when the criminals again make the news because they killed an innocent person, it's maybe just another day, and another news story to some people, right? 

    Maybe the unspoken word that hasn't been expressed yet, is the one called (empathy?)

    Do you maybe feel bad for the victim and, they losing their rights, while you get to have yours?

    Empathy?!?  If you want to talk about your feelings, go see a shrink or a priest.  The law should be about facts and logic, full stop.  The fact is, criminals will still commit crimes, and NOTHING you have suggested will keep people from becoming victims of armed offenders.

    No, you just allow your emotion to cloud your judgement to the point where it blinds you.  NOTHING YOU HAVE SUGGESTED WILL STOP CRIMINALS FROM COMMITTING CRIMES.  But, if you want emotionalism, why are those people's lives worth more then the people who would be victimized by your restrictions because they were either denied or were waiting to obtain the means to exercise their right to self-defense?  Why do you ignore them in this debate?  They don't count for anything in your world?!?  The only thing that matters to you is advancing the power of the police state.  Are you a fascist?

    It's amazing, that some of the ex convicts, who are on parole, are maybe with a certain probability, walking around the country, with a hot or stolen weapon on their person.

    So to them, if they haven't been caught with a firearm on them, then they haven't broken any laws yet, until they break another law, right, second amendment enthusiasts? 

    Hot, meaning it lacks a serial number.

    But hey, (the pro community, pro family, pro law, pro second amendment, and pro first amendment,) don't worry over the offenders, who might be walking around illegally armed, because some of the second amendment enthusiasts, maybe say so?

    Is the above maybe how some of the second amendment enthusiasts, and some of their logic works?

    Incorrect, there is already a law against felons having gunsThere is already a law against removing serial numbers from a gun.  Criminals don't follow the law.  Passing even more laws that criminals won't follow won't help.  All you're doing is proving the weakness of your position.

    So far, the only measure that you've promoted was requiring a psychological evaluation prior to a weapons purchase.  There is no such requirement in the 2nd Amendment, so anyone who would be turned down, rightly or wrongly, would have to give up their right.  Beyond that, who pays for that evaluation?  If you expect the perspective gun buyer to pay for it, you're adding a burden to the poor and elderly, people who are already disproportionately victimized but crime.  How can you trust the people doing the evaluations to be fair?  The medical community has a long history of antagonism against private ownership of firearms.  As I have stated previously, that would deter gun owners and prospective gun owners from trying to get medical help when they need it lest their doctor decides to use it against them if and when they try to purchase a gun.  And as always, that wouldn't stop mass shootings and other attacks sensationalized by the media.
