Cory Booker Mocked After Claiming More Americans Died from Gun Violence in 50 Years T

Self-inflicted violence is still violence. There’s a ton of data that show that greater access to firearms correlates directly with higher suicide rates. Imposing legal restrictions on gun ownership is a highly effective way to cut down on suicides.

Then democide should be included as a nation going to war against itself.

That might only be true, to some extent, if it were somehow possible to impose "legal restrictions on gun ownership" on individuals at risk of someday committing suicide. How, exactly, does one test for or predict something like that? What percentage of gun owners are ever going to commit suicide with their firearm, and why should my right to self and home defense be impeded by concern for their self-destructive tendencies?

Self-inflicted violence is not violence in the context of this discussion. Cory and you both know that. They are deaths but they aren't deaths from gun violence.

No it isn't. You made that up.

No need to test. Just impose gun ownership restrictions on everyone.

What does "shall not be infringed" mean ??

While you approve illegal immigration of terrorists and drug gangs?

You're a clown.

In the context of the Second Amendment, it means that the people, as part of a "well regulated militia," have a right to bear arms. The Supreme Court was wrong to have extended that right to individuals. Eventually, we'll get a Supreme Court majority that will reverse that mistake.

Richard is defending the right only to State organized and approved Armies like a good Nazi!


Well, you do learn things about people in this forum.

*A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.*

There are to separate rights in the 2A, the right of the free states to have a militia and the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
