There is nothing theoretical about forensics and eye witnesses proving it. My question for Josh, does he agree with Daryl Parks that someone should endure getting their head pounded on the sidewalk until the cops magically appear?

There are the noisy assholes who make the Huffington Post headlines, and then there are the millions upon millions who seek to have adult conversations about further reducing gun violence while strengthening the protections of the Bill of Rights.

But bogeymen are the stuff of the anti-gun movement, so these labels are to be expected.

penis jokes when they lose in a discussion.

I see he still can not ever comment on his drive by cut and paste posting.

choose to consider issues presented. A worthy effort.

Consider, for instance, that the death toll from firearms is the equilant of a fully loaded 747 jumbo jet colliding with a fully loaded Gulf stream every week.

If pilots were regulated like gun owners that would likely happen.

Tobacco users are shamed, shunned and their habit is restricted to fewer and fewer places. Perhaps guns should be treated the same?

Is it really our responsibility to do that?

..apparently it is incumbent upon us to do the heavy lifting. Fortunately,
some of their role models are still available out there for reference:

Lead poisoning is faster.

And I haven't managed to kill anyone. Aviation training is complex due to the complexity of flight systems and the rules we have to abide by, also there are many many more ways for things to go wrong in an aircraft than with a gun.

I could teach you how to fly a plane in half a day, what takes longer is teaching a person how to react when things go wrong, why we do things a certain way, and how to interact with the aircraft/airspace around you. Guns are very straight forward, simple to operate, easy to shoot and a few rules will keep you and everyone around you safe, carrying concealed is a bit more complex but not much.

Some of us think so. Seems others do not.

The devil, as always, is in the details. Many people claim to be "Pro-Gun" yet support a number of gun ownership restrictions of limited utility in reducing criminal gun violence. When questioned, they seem resent having their position questioned and accuse the one asking of "not caring" about gun violence.
