Wow mister that’s brilliant. Prescription drugs don’t kill anyone and guns never do anyone any good. Also no one has ever killed another person with prescription drugs. Thanks for the facts. Masterful deduction sir.

More people in America die of prescription overdoses than gun violence. What I don't know is how many of those overdoses were intentional.
But they also save lives.
Guns were still designed to kill.

Mister I hope you are never in the position to need a firearm in your Boca Raton gated community.

Guns were still designed to kill. Bulls***!!!! Guns are designed to send a projectile to a specified point. So much so that guns are a part of several Olympic Sports, no killing involved. I would wager that more holes are punched in paper and clay using guns than holes are punched through flesh....

They were not invented to shoot at targets. The bow and arrow was invented to be more efficient than the spear. Yes, they are used to shoot at targets as a sport, but that is not why they were invented.

There is a difference ya know....something can only be invented once but designed multiple times. A semi-auto 1911 has a different "design" than a 686 revolver. Were guns invented to kill? I would say yes but modern applications of guns says they are used more often for target shooting than killing. Or I would wager anyway. misterjr's statement was a blanket assessment of guns. Guns are no more "designed to kill" than Oxycodone is designed to "get people high". Im 100% sure a Kreighoff Parcours wasn't "designed" to "kill"...

Mister doesn’t like guns, pretty well known. We all need checks and balances, it’s what makes our country the best. I’m pretty sure he is good people. Just saying.

50 Million Americans take antidepressants, anxiety drugs, and, antipsychotics. No problem here folks. Guns are the issue

I don’t feel unsafe. Probably because I avoid going places where it actually isn’t safe. Every time someone gets on an interstate, they have a greater chance of being killed by another driver than we do going about our lives and getting gunned down. But you don’t see anyone complaining about the dangers of driving cars or about all the people cars kill. Mostly because the chance is small there too. Those damn car manufacturers have intentionally flooded our streets with vehicles so, according to the logic of some here, we’re all under extreme risk of becoming the victim of vehicular homicide. 🙄 So you avoid schools , Walmart , concerts , parks , grocery stores , churches. BT is right, bullet in the head is American as SEC football. Not at all. But I do avoid places that are likely to have people with less than good intent. Sorry, if the places you mention are dangerous in your neighborhood.

If suicides are being included in gun violence statistics, which I agree they shouldn’t be….. but they still are, than why not bring them into the discussion here?

Gun control is the power play for the government. You can see the weak here in the chatroom. People are easily manipulated into group think. No one really gives a shit about other people. It's very evident to those who are open thinkers. There's not many of us left.
