“I have a pony tail.”

So did Patrick Henry and many other Patriots.

ALL (109) of the countries above America,
HAVE 100% gun bans.

It might be of interest to note that SWITZERLAND is not shown on this list, because it has...NO MURDER OCCURRENCE!

However, SWITZERLAND’S law requires that EVERYONE:
1. Own a gun.
2. Maintain Marksman qualifications ... regularly .

Did you learn anything from this??

I think the message is - loud and clear...

GUN bans and restrictions...

DO NOT work!

Tom H. Hastings is PeaceVoice Director and teaches in the Conflict Resolution program at Portland State University in Oregon.

Well, it's easy to see how he resolves conflict. Just agree with him...no conflict.

This idiot is the definition of the lefty version of logic and reason.

A mish-mosh of words and at the end of his diatribe, it comes down to one thing, he's right you're wrong, because that's how he wants it to be...so there.

I propose anyone with a liberal political ideology be banned from owning anything more lethal than a rubber band.

You also need to include "banned from access to the protection of 'hired guns', i.e., police, private security guards, military personnel.

"NO VIOLENCE" means no violence, Tommy boy.

Idiots like him need to have their citizenship revoked and then ship him on a slow boat to North Korea, where his communist views will be appreciated!

In town after town, city after city, county after county, state after state... the more legal gun owners there are in a community the fewer gun deaths there are in that community.

So the leftists aren’t really out to eliminate gun deaths. So what are they out to eliminate?

Oh, I know... freedom.

Well said. And as you point out, well documented by history.

Thank you.

I actually RESPECT people that are willing to respect our CONSTITUTION enough to agree that it is the LAW OF THE LAND and if you don’t like, you change it - instead of IGNORING it, or even worse, writing executive orders or court opinions that go directly against it.

So, if he can get the votes in Congress and the state legislatures to repeal the Second Amendment, then I would agree that is what the country wants, and it should be repealed.

...but, of course, good luck with that, as just the South, being SOLID REPUBLICAN at all levels of government can easily stop him...and there are plenty of other states will also help stop him. So nothing will happen, but at least this leftist PLAYS BY THE RULES and we should shove him IN THE FACE of gun-grabbing Democrats that insist the Second Amendment already doesn’t exist.

Watched a movie once where citizens couldn’t own guns and the government had all the weapons. It was called Schindler’s List “!

This is a terrible idea, given the history of what happens when government has control of the firepower: China under Mao Zedong and the former Soviet Union under Josef Stalin.

Maybe the death toll from mass shootings, labor camps, forced exile, deliberate famine and misguided economies policies--estimated by some scholars to be as high as 150 MILLION during the rule of Mao and Stalin--might convince you otherwise.

I sent him an e-mail.
I asked him why he did not move to North Korea or Communists China if he did not like our right to keep and bear arms.

I actually appreciate that this guy is at least willing to play by the rules. Most lefties prefer to use enforcement of the rules against US, but ignore them when it suits them. He thinks Americans are “sick of shootings” and therefore would be willing to abridge the Bill of Rights? Fine. He is trying to get the ball rolling to prove his point. If it gets to the point where a repeal to the Second Amendment was about to be successful, we wopuld have resorted to exercising it in a more robust manner already, anyway.
