That means going by more than how many guns there are and how many concealed permits there are. And Swanson isn’t one to pass the same label on all gun owners, most of whom are responsible owners. Rather, the study looks at “angry adults” who have access to guns and though they have the necessary permits and may never have been treated for mental health problems could pose a threat to others.

Remove one demographic from the stats and our homicide rates go down to scandanavian levels.

Ah, so they are subscribing to the Star Wars theology, “If you get angry, the dark side will forever dominate your ways” kind of BS.
*LOL*

When they get the guns out of the hands of criminals, then I’ll not renew my carry permit.

there seems no end to this claptrap.

as if USA never existed and these idjits were living in Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany, or on whatever planet Obama was hatched?

in America, we fought a revolutionary war against the largest and most powerful empire in human history....and a King who was, among other things, trying to deny us the right to have our firearms...

we fought, and we won.

in America, ...”the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed...”

The example given was that lefty, atheist who shot those Muslims. I have to agree, liberals should not have guns.

Do they also have access to butcher knives?
Automobiles?
How about chain saws? Nail Guns?
Baseball bats? Bear Traps?

All rediculous BS

What is needed is a more steadfast and direct statement rather than the vague and shallow “shall not be infringed” to put a stop to that nonsense. /s

As if one should even be required to have a carry permit. Falls under the “infringed” category. Now, if I could only get the NV legislators to round file the permit BS.

Yep. Half of all murders are committed by less than 3% of the population.

Haven’t been to the VA since 1969. No intention of going either despite one of my buds telling me I could get some disability $$$ for my tinitus. Supposedly caused by working in the engine rooms and the high noise levels.

yes, but those Hessian mercenaries have more than enough of a battle on their plate....defending their European homeland against the Islamic invasion allowed in by the Hessians’ own Ruling Elite

The term, “Angry Adult” and the term, “Democrat Voter” are generally interchangeable.

What this is coming down to, is just creating a computer program, and skipping a doctor’s opinion all together, that determines who can, and who cannot own guns due to the POSSIBILITY of some undetermined future crime. The libtard’s program would look at things like:

Christian- ?
TEA party affiliations- ?
Military veteran- ?
Free Republic member- ?
Etc.....

“Well gee Mr Smith, you answered ‘yes’ to one or more of the above, and according to our computer model, you may pose a risk to yourself or others if you have access to a firearm. You are now prohibited from owning any firearms”.

Of course the flip side would be a new government entitlement program to hand out firearms if a person answered “yes” to questions like:

Democrat voter- ?
Earth Liberation Front member- ?
Muslim- ?
Inner city gang member- ?
Years of anti-depressant use- ?
Che Guevara lover- ?

“Well Ahkmed, you answered ‘yes’ to one or more of the above. We’d like to offer you this AK-47 clone and a Glock. As a special bonus we’ll give you this video recorder so you can post you hate filled rants on YouTube before you go postal at your local school or church. No, thank YOU Ahkmed!”
