Exactly.
An amazing case for reducing gun ownership in America

I have done both of those in the last year.
I ride a bike without a helmet all the time
My brother, who is a more serious cyclist than I, seent me info on bike helmets.
I'm actively trying to get rid of that pickup by the end of September, so as to avoid paying the registration on a vehicle I don't drive much anymore.

Help!
I agree. I've never said otherwise.
But for some, running around screaming the sky is falling when it's not, is pathetic.
Pointing your fingers at 1% - 2% of gun deaths while ignoring the vast majority of those deaths is daffy.
The crisis is in the inner cities, it's been going on for decades. Yet the Daffy Ducks on the left and in the media ignore it and scream assault rifles...
Back ground checks are fine but society needs to take a long hard look at where we are.
People have become more isolated, more depressed and less forgiving.
Better parenting, additional mental health availability and maybe more moral and religious teachings all things that have fallen by the wayside for to many folks.
Have a great day Duck.
Daffy doing that projecting thing....
How many straw men is that?
I'll bet you use a hammer without safety glasses, use a circular
saw with the guard blocked, walk across the street outside of
the crosswalk, mow your lawn barefoot, run with scissors,
stick your hand in the garbage disposal, sit on toilets without
wiping ( well we all know your disposition when it comes to
latrines. )....Etc, etc...
Urine Idiot.
The Government is NOT your Father/Mother.
You have the freedom to make a lot of ignorant decisions....!
Including "assault rifles" .... you tell me Magoo.
We've always had semi automatic rifles & pistols in my life time....we've never had mass shootings and killings or the contempt for life we have now.
If those are "straw men" to you, look in the mirror and you'll see a straw man staring back at you...

You must be young, or have selective memory. Semi-automatic weapons known as "assault weapons" were banned by Federal law from 1994 to 2004, but many similar weapons were not banned even then due to quirks in how "assault weapons" were defined in the law, and subsequent redesign actions by gun manufacturers to evade the law made the whole thing moot. Political action by the NRA (heavily influenced by the manufacturers and dealers - have you noticed?) has so far defeated any attempt to extend or renew the ban.
I will withdraw my statement about your straw men if you will describe what exactly it is that you are arguing against.
You must be old and have lost your mind.
I'm talking about the 60's, 70's, 80's before the so called assault weapons ban.
California has an assault weapons ban. Has since about 1989. It's also against the law to murder people & assault folks.
Pass all the laws and ban certain weapons, but until society addresses why folks would want to kill innocent people, innocent folks will continue to be killed.
I'm not arguing for or against anything, you are. I'm simply pointing out facts. Pass more laws and ignore where we are as a nation, nothing will change.
How do you suggest that society address that?
Pass another law...

You never come off as very creative or able to provide answers to the actual questions you are asked.
Are you suggesting there were no laws against making terrorist threats?
The video makes it clear that there are.
You implied the law was a new one.
We dont need more laws.
