(12,194 posts)48. Let me answer you this...
how many people have died from black death in America in the last 200 years?
Let me answer you this: The answer is irrelevant.
I'd say America would be a lot safer with black death than with gun nuts... at least there's a cure for it.
Of course you would, because you think that 'gun nuts' are the problem, even though they're generally not the ones going out and murdering people. A percent of a percent of what is commonly known as 'gun nuts' hereabouts, actually harm others.
You see 'gun nuts' as the problem, not because of what they actually do with their guns, but because they stand in the way of what you want done with their guns.
This is my shocked face:
As for "due process" - we're saying the same thing. You don't have those rights because the state took them away, via due process. I am suggesting the same method for removing guns. Due process.
Then admit you were wrong, calling me wrong.
It's not a coincidence that I think guns - killer of 30k americans a year - and safety are connected.
Of course it isn't. You are an anti-gun ideologue. A gun hater.
Far more unhappy? So you admit it does happen? A minute ago you said it never happened. I see.
Now you're just attempting to put words in my mouth. Shame on you (assuming you have any).
At any rate, at some point Americans will wake up and take away guns... it'll probably take decades - and millions more dead - but it'll happen.
I saw that in a movie once:
You got nothing, basically.

On your statement about Jefferson: I think you've been somewhat misled about him.
