    I am not for banning guns but believe reasonable restrictions should be adopted.

    If you dislike Hilliary for lying, you should equally dislike Trump. If not, then it was not lying that was the basis of the opinion. It is a false rationalization.
    Bunky, how ya doin?

    I would argue that everyone in some form or fashion is a hypocrite. We may be so intentionally or we may be so in ignorance. These kids, many of them, have no clue what the Constitution is about, its importance nor the Bill Of Rights. I don`t believe I ever stated that the kids are hypocrites but rather the "media" are the hypocrites.

    We have right now sensible gun laws and restrictions yet many times they are not followed, sadly it can lead to tragedy. We also have laws governing our borders but again sadly they are not adhered to most of the time. We have laws against murder, lying, stealing, speeding and so on but we still go against those when we feel it benefits us while we chastise others who do it against us.

    As for Trump, if you read my post I did in fact say he was a liar and if he is guilty of any wrong doing then throw his arse out. I am not a fan of Trump but he is doing a better job than I had thought he would do. For me personally, I have lost faith in just about all politicians. They sure sound good starting out but Washington is such a corrupt place and such a game that it seems everyone gets lost in that mire of crap and come out as millionaires.

    The National Crime Victimization Study (NCVS) found that, on average, a "good guy with a gun" stops a violent crime 108,000 per year (conservative estimate). Let`s call that 108,000 lives saved. Now, with education and awareness, we can multiply that by a factor of 10.

    22 shot, 6 killed in Chicago this weekend.

    MSM coverage of the carnage: ZERO

    Re: The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread

    A friend of mine just sent me this. Sad,maybe funny to some, offensive to others, but true!!

    Today, I placed my Glock 19 pistol on the table right next to my front door. I left its magazine beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.
    While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor`s son across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the "stop" sign near the front of my house.
    After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was quietly sitting there, right where I had left it. It had not moved itself outside. It had not killed anyone. Certainly, even with the numerous opportunities it had presented to do that. In fact, it had not even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the media, about how dangerous guns are and how They kill people. Either the media is wrong, or I`m in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

    The United States is 3rd in murders throughout the world. But if you take out just 5 `left-wing` cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, St Louis and New Orleans -- the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the ENTIRE world, for murders.

    These 5 cities are controlled by Democrats. They also have the toughest gun control laws in the USA. It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data, right?

    Well, I`m off to check on my forks. I hear they`re making people fat!
    Thanks

    Ron, I’ve been reading through the latest NCVS and for the life of me I can’t find that stat:

    https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cv16.pdf

    Maybe you can let me know what page/table it’s from?

    could not find it either

    found this
    you are only twice as likely to have a violent crime committed by a stranger as a family member!

    and only 4 time more likely as your spouse, etc.
    1/2 chance family
    1/4 spouse

    guns save over 100,000 lives per year?
    but there were only ~17000 murders?
    so without guns there would be >120,000?
