ParticipantIf you’re not happy don’t fret. The things that are supposed to make us happy rarely do according to uc riv author psych professors new book which I’m getting when it comes out.
Happy harmonica everybody.
ParticipantInteresting on homicide rates in other nations. Still I think Americans would be too damn lazy and out of condition to kill effectively without guns.
ParticipantAlso i can prove former vp Cheney wouldn’t have shot his pal in the ass w a gun ban.
Participant[quote=CA renter]Let’s look at this another way…
Is there any evidence showing that gun bans reduce homicides or violent attacks?[/quote]
I can prove gun bans reduce the number of accidental and intentional gunshot wounds, brandishings, assaults and unintentional gun cleaning injuries.
Participanta psycholgoical background test to own a gun, similar to law enforcement psych tests, would be useful, but only if you ahve to submit to the psych testevery 6 months or so, as conditions change. so the profiling should be 2x annualy, with a computerized safety check statement bi-monthly in which you are in touch with federal counselors by email to sanswers interim questions regarding mental health.
plus a 5,000 a year annual licensing fee.
Participantpretty compelling personal story about a guy who almost shot his dad when he was 9.
ParticipantI’ve Been thinking about it and I’m pretty sure we are a computer program. it all makes sense. however, knowing we are ina computer program doesnt really help us fiunction better in the program.
Participant[quote=ocrenter][quote=CA renter]No, I favor the “sense of civic and social responsibility” over gun control. If everybody was respectful, law-abiding, considerate, etc., there would be very few homicides, no matter how many guns are in our society. Of course, if everyone was respectful, law-abiding, considerate, etc., (including all people in power) we wouldn’t really need guns.
I think we should do background checks on anybody who wants to buy a gun, and violent felons should obviously not be able to own or possess a gun…but how do we prevent the data from background checks from making it to some kind of “registration list” that can be used to track down law-abiding gun owners?[/quote]
hmmm… how many here are not in favor of “sense of civic and social responsibility”…
I think under the big umbrella of “gun control”, issues such as background checks as well as maybe even psychiatric assessment and mandatory reporting by physicians and psychiatric professionals should all be part of the discussion. squat1000’s point about responsibility and liability on part of the gun owner and I’ll add the gun owner’s estate should be on the table as well.[/quote]
Squat 1000 is a little ridiculous.
Insuring and regulating dogs guns and other dangerous things makes sense.
Our love for dogs in this nation has truly reached psychotic levels.
ParticipantProbably.
ParticipantWhat if the background check were meaningful …
Say as in depth as a check to work for the FBI.
It’s probably the disgruntled who are the most dangerous.
ParticipantI have an actual proposal for getting people serious about at least keeping the guns they have safe from others —
if you own a gun….
and you don’t take the required steps to secure it…
which involves say a locked safe that costs about 2 grand…
and that gun is used by any other person, even a thief, to commit a crime…
you share equally in the liability for whatever crime that gun was involved in.
I would consider that a step toward taking responsibility for your gun.
ParticipantI’m thinking about starting over again with just 7 pairs of identical socks so I never have to sort socks again.
That was preprogrammed to happen around now.
ParticipantWhat about a bullet proof coating for people?
ParticipantMan I wish my parents had deformed my skull like that.
