Except it does matter when someone is trying to argue that if we get rid of the guns (or some of the guns or whatever), then we get rid of the violence. What percentage of violent crimes are committed with a gun?

REDUCING THE NUMBER OF GUNS SHOULD = A REDUCTION IN GUN VIOLENCEI cant way to see the link where someone argued "getting rid of guns (all or some) = getting rid of the violence"
Quote from: Biggs3535 on February 10, 2013, 12:45:05 PMSince this is obviously truthful, because both you and CBW posted it - how many guns that have been sold have been used to kill someone? And how many guns that have been sold have not been used to kill someone?It doesn't really matter.
Since this is obviously truthful, because both you and CBW posted it - how many guns that have been sold have been used to kill someone? And how many guns that have been sold have not been used to kill someone?
Damn, and here I was thinking I would get an intellectually honest and mature " you know, I was wrong "

I only need ONE gun to commit a violent gun crime with. You've said you favor my right to bear arms , so I will have at least 1 gun, and so will everyone else who wants one .... even in your Chickensh!t Utopia .
Here's another case where PeanutButterCheeseBoy will continue to treat his lie as a fact, in hopes that someone will believe him that the Heller ruling was bad for the 2nd Amendment. He'll beat this drum incessantly until someone, and I'm pretty sure he'll take anyone, will jump on his side of the dumbass street.

In fact not only will you NEVER jump on my side of the street -- the side that includes nearly the entire legal profession, Constitutional scholars, law school professors, US Senators and Congressmen and more -- BUT you will actually stand on the other side of the street and scream at everyone on my side about how they are "dumb" or "stupid. LOLReally, that's part of your "charm" . . . . .. you're like a weird comedy routine or carnival show.
With its December 11 ruling striking down a Chicago law forbidding individuals from carrying guns in public, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit delivered the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) a major victory—and handed the group's lawyer, Virginia litigator Alan Gura, yet another big win.For Gura, a one-time Sidley Austin associate who is now the co-owner of Gura and Possessky, the Second Circuit ruling followed earlier triumphs in a pair of landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases: District of Columbia v. Heller in 2008 and McDonald v. Chicago in 2010. By persuading the Supreme Court to uphold the rights of individuals to own firearms in Heller and McDonald—cases that found the Court weighing the scope of the Second Amendment for the first time in nearly 70 years—Gura burnished his reputation as the gun rights movement's go-to advocate."He's clearly proven to be the top Second Amendment lawyer by virtue of the fact that he argued and won both Heller and McDonald," says Cato Institute chairman Robert Levy, whose organization financed the Heller litigation and hired Gura to make its case.
If only you could read like vincent p b can read
Buggsy, lol. Screaming from the other side of the road. Lol. I am sure to be wasting my time Buggsy, but if you go back and read what I said was that the 2nd Amendnent says what it says. There is right to bear arms so your premise (a win for the 2nd amendment") is where you keep going wrong. Here's simple proof of that, part of the Court disagreed with the majority. This group wrote a dissenting opinion. It start with this:"The question presented by this case is not whether the second amendment protects a collective right or an individual right. Surely it protects a right that can be enforced by individuals.""Surely it protects a right that can be enforced by individuals." In other words, the 2nd amendment says what it says. Even the dissenters were never going to rule AGAINST the 2nd Amendment. The only question was the SCOPE of the right and the very conservative court construed it as a very limited right. Man ...
Heller is not a pro-gun decision by any means
Read Buggsy, read. A very conservative court by only the slimmest majority struck down a DC gun ban (and nothing more - you understand that right?) SOLELY because it was a total prohibition against handguns in a home.
