WestCoastRunner Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 I just don't get these shootings happening and nothing seems to be happening to address it. And of course, the perpetrator is usually a white young male and not a brown skinned terrorist. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

Wilber Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Not sure what's so special about "white lives", but thanks for underscoring the point of how much it would cost to take away gun rights from law abiding citizens.Nothing special about white lives but the war to abolish slavery was largely a white man's war. I know many African Americans fought for the North but they accounted for less than 10% of total deaths. It has already cost you. several times over and it continues to cost you. More Americans have were killed by firearms between 1979 and 1997 than actual battle deaths in all your wars. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
WestCoastRunner Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Sure do...I can buy a gun right now at Cabella's....closes at 9PM.It's no wonder of the horrific school and theatre shootings with the attitude of folks like you. It just makes me tremendously sad. I have no argument with you or any debate worth bothering with. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

Again...don't know why you want to work the race angle....Canadians died in the Cival War too. So what ?

bush_cheney2004 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) You were the one who brought up slavery. Not me. I never mentioned race...that was your contribution. The point made was that technological advances did not limit gun rights, but there were amendments made to outlaw slavery. First Nations are not required to limit treaty resource gathering technology to the 19th century. Edited October 2, 2015 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

No, we understand, but most just don't care about it the way that you do. We have 87 homicides on average per day...."children" are just part of the mix. Even children have gun rights !
