I agree, but you need to look at the problem, school murders. The gun was just the instrument being used. The instrument can change but the overall problem remains.
Someone who is willing to do this will find other methods and instruments to carry out the act.

I would like a definitive number set for the term- stockpiling.
I would also like the count that wrote this article to interview me.

frick if I know, but keep acting like it’s a gotcha. How many guns do you think a person really needs to own? You’re going to say however many they want, but at some point it’s a stockpile.
Should anyone be able to own a tank? A military helicopter? Where’s the stopping point on what someone should be able to own? You have a limit, because at some point you don’t trust people to own certain weapons.

Yet you seem uninterested in discussing whether gun ownership or "stockpiling", in and of itself, correlates to people actually doing harmful things with those weapons.
I just want to know how many I can collect before I'm "stockpiling."

You are literally talking about a small percentage of gun owners who will ever shoot up a school or a concert, but it’s a problem when it happens and some people on this board say shite happens, the day is beautiful, just go fishing. That was a statement in the thread yesterday when the shooting was first reported.
You can save over half a million lives every year by banning tobacco.
You would save about 10k more lives just from second hand smoking than you would if you eliminated all gun deaths including suicides.
Why ar who’s focused on guns? Why don’t you want to save the lives taken from tobacco? Is it because it isn’t flashy?

So I’m scared because I own a bunch of guns. It has nothing to do with having 5k acres of land to shoot and hunt on. Nor does it have to do with having the funds to afford a shooting hobby.
Nope. It’s because I’m a scared white boy.

How many threads have we had asking if we should just let America fail and start over and all that nonsense in the past several months or weeks? A lot of people, and more than a few around here, believe exactly that.
And lots of blacks think there is a Klansman behind every bush lurking to lynch them.
I know black people that won't drive to Denham Springs because they fear the Klan.
Do you think unrealistic fear is exclusive to whites?

I’d live to know why teens are shooting up their schools too. But examining “white people” ownership rates seems like a stupid place to start looking.

Heard a skyscreamer say on Mark Thompson’s show yesterday that all you need to hunt with is a single barrel shotgun. Everything else should be banned.
I guess we are only going to eat fowl.
Slightly tangential - I know my paternal grandfather went deer hunting on foot, with a Browning .30 (Belgian made - I still have it). Y'all baws know anyone who still does on-foot deer hunting? I'd like to do it, but I don't even know where to begin.

How effective are those methods, and have we seen those acts carried out in other countries that actually have a ban on guns?
I don’t disagree the crazy idiots in the world will find a way to do it regardless of having a gun or not, but they won’t be as efficient at killing people via those other methods.

So you use an article that has some ambiguous meaning to fling shite.

I don’t disagree, but Trump has actually - at the behest of the NRA - weakened background checks or any associating mental illness with the background database for gun ownership. If you could tie current known mental illness as diagnosed in a clinical setting as a reason to prohibit someone from owning a gun, that would be a step in the right direction.

"I don't believe any studies about trends in gun ownership. Every one of them is designed to take away my guns!"

Considering blacks in democratically elected urban areas were permitted from owning firearms, I would say a large portion of males were not permitted to owning firearms. Even to this day democratically elevted areas still have a prohibition on legal firearms. So would demogrpahics be the same if black men could own firearms? And if it was not a stigma to own firearms today would this not be different.

The problem is that people who write this nonsense do it to be incendiary, but their target audience isn't a group that knows anything about gun culture. This is really no different than people who collect shoes or baseball memorabilia or wine.
If there's one thing the left loves to do is demonize a white guy with a gun. Ironically, they'll acknowledge that homicides generally affect black, inner city males, but they won't dare pursue that topic with the same ferocity because they will offend one of their protected, "do no wrong" groups.

I like to hunt.
Cops don’t protect you. Cops show up after the cultcha come in your home to rob you or the Gods gift to humanity righteous immigrant rapes your wife or daughter. I will never be a victim. I will go down shooting but I will get at least one.
And
I may need a gun to fight when the progressive owned government tries to send me to re-education camps. The socialist communist Russians sent political dissidents to camps. The Chinese are doing it now. Cuba, Venezuela and every socialist communist nation does. Democrats will try and send conservative patriots to camps too. Never give up your gun. Learn from history. Hell, in the U. K. Right now they are sending people to prison for speaking out against the Muslim invaders raping their women. The 2 nd Amendment is the only reason for the other amendments to still be intact.
The progressives will not stop until they either destroy this nation or are destroyed themselves.
