@dr.wolfstar1765 Jimmy Dore literally censored his own guest for mentioning Sam's name, because Sam kicked his ass in 2016. Tim Pool made up that he can't Skype, or whatever, a week before Skyping with Rogan.

@alabamaman9476 You're literally using a list of only cities over a certain population, dimwit, which weeds out a bunch of cities. You're cheating to make them top 10. In other words ... lying. Chicago isn't even top 20.

@alabamaman9476 The fact is that state law determines more than city law, dimwit. Not too baffling as to why a rate would still be high, if you can buy a gun at the edge of town. Yeah, I get it, you don't want to count all the cities in red states, because you're dishonest.
7
@alabamaman9476 Chicago has literally traced guns to being purchased outside the city and neighboring states, dimwit. It's just a fact ... something you're allergic to.

@alabamaman9476 32. South Bend, Indiana > Murder rate: 27.4 per 100,000 people Just 4 spots down from Chicago.

@LEP021085 It's not, at all, hard to compare. Just use per capita rates. That's how you always compare places with different sized populations. Chicago isn't even top 10 worst.

@alabamaman9476 Top 20 cities, 12 in red states ... 1. St. Louis, Missouri > Murder rate: 88.1 per 100,000 people 2. Petersburg, Virginia > Murder rate: 76.9 per 100,000 people 3. Pine Bluff, Arkansas > Murder rate: 56.5 per 100,000 people 4. New Orleans, Louisiana > Murder rate: 51.0 per 100,000 people 5. Saginaw, Michigan > Murder rate: 50.2 per 100,000 people 6.

Aaron Dickson Red states, with more liberal gun laws, tend to have both higher firearm mortality rates and higher homicide rates. Hard to have proper gun control, if someone can easily hit a gun shop just outside of town.
4
Aaron Dickson Chicago doesn't have the highest murder "rate". You're lying.
4
@alabamaman9476 Rofl. You cheat by using a list of only cities over a certain population, and you still get over half in red states, where it's easier to get guns.

@Euthyphro I thought if someone pointed a gun at you, you had a right to self defense. The argument is that Kyle gets to both point his gun at someone, plus shoot them if they grab at it, and that if someone points a gun at him, he can outright try to kill them.
3
@The One Oh yeah? What are some examples of him lying?
2
@LEP021085 They track most of their guns ussed in crimes to the US, dimwit. Their gun problem is their neighbor.
2
@LEP021085 Oh boy, the guns don't kill people bullshit. Yeah, neither do nukes. Do you think we should sell mini nukes and launchers at Walmart? Maybe jars of chemical or bio weapons. Maybe we should sell all drugs over the counter. You know, because one inanimate object can't be deemed more dangerous than other inanimate objects. If an inanimate spoon is just as deadly as an inanimate gun, then why can't you just use a spoon for self defense? Haven't you just stripped away any value a gun might have? Switzerland has one of the highest firearm mortality rates amongst developed countries. Whatever else they're doing to reduce other crimes, is irrelevant. They could potentially have both lower overall violent crime rates, and next to no firearm mortality, like Japan, if they had fewer guns.
2
@mimked That's because right wingers have banned the CDC from doing their own studies. Why is it you think that is? Why wouldn't the pro-gun side want studies, if they really believed guns saved more lives than they took?
2
@malachiromero6077 Kyle Rittenhouse? The kid's own defense made zero sense. If it's self defense to shoot someone for pointing a gun at you, then surely it's self defense to grab at a gun someone is pointing at you. His own defense makes him a murderer, and it's actually within the law to chase down and attack fleeing murderers.
1
@malachiromero6077 You seem to have missed my point. If it's self defense for Kyle to shoot Gaige, when Gaige pointed a gun at him, then surely it's self defense for Rosenbaum to simply grab at Kyle's gun, when Kyle pointed a gun at him. Kyle's own self defense argument for Gaige, should make the shooting of Rosenbaum murder. If the shooting of Rosenbaum is murder, then the other 2 totally had the right to chase down Kyle and even use violence to stop him.
1
@malachiromero6077 No. Kyle outright testified that he pointed his gun at Rosenbaum, first.
1
@malachiromero6077 What do you mean no legal reason? If Kyle has a legal reason to shoot someone pointing a gun at him, then how is having a gun pointed at you not a legal reason to try and grab it? That makes zero sense.

@Foxy-vs6yj So, moving towards someone is life threatening?
1
@Foxy-vs6yj Ah, so everyone saying they were going to kill Mike Pence, Pelosi, and AOC, then attempted to force their way into where they thought those people were, should be charged with attempted murder, or something, yeah? Because words are now violence.
1
@alabamaman9476 Not in the top 10 per capita. Fact.
1
@LEP021085 70% of firearms are being traced to the US, dumb dumb.
1
@LEP021085 Rofl. I like how you have to compare the US to developing, rather than developed, countries, in some lame attempt to argue the US doesn't have a gun problem. Yeah, developing countries have other problems that make the issue more nuanced. Oh, and of course you pull out Switzerland, which doesn't have anywhere close to the same level of gun ownership as the US, and has a higher firearm mortality rate than many other developed countries with lower gun ownership than them. Switzerland doesn't help your case. They have up to 2x the gun ownership rate of Sweden, and about 2x the firearm mortality rate. They have 10-20x the gun ownership rate of the UK, and 10x the firearm mortality rate. The US has about 60x the gun ownership rate of the UK and 60x the firearm mortality rate, 6x the gun ownership rate of Sweden and 12x the firearm mortality rate, 3-5x the gun ownership rate of Switzerland and about 4x the firearm mortality rate.
1
@LEP021085 No, it doesn't help your case, because if you remove the US, Switzerland is one of 4 developed countries with a firearm mortality rate over 2 per 100k. 2 of the others have firearm ownership rates similar to Switzerland. Switzerland is only great relative to the US.
1
@LEP021085 I'm saying it has one of the highest firearm mortality rates, of developed countries, dingbat. Where am I losing you?
1
@LEP021085 Guns end up shooting their owners all the time, when cleaning, when one of their kids gets ahold of one, when there's a family dispute, when someone has a bad day. But, I'm glad to hear you think they're no more dangerous than a spoon. That means they're useless, and you don't need one. That means there doesn't need to be a right to have something completely useless.
1
@LEP021085 While you're waiting, why don't you call some lawmakers, and try to get opioids sold on the shelf, for anyone of any age ... you know, because they're no more dangerous than candy. Why don't you put one of your harmless gun out where some kids can play with it, while you're at it ... you know, because it's no more dangerous than a nerf gun.
1
@LEP021085 I completely get your "point". I clearly stated that was your "point". You're the one who didn't seem to get my point, that you can consider one inanimate object to be more dangerous than another. Why can't kids play with your "perfectly safe" inanimate objects? Is it more dangerous than a nerf gun?
1
@LEP021085 Why aren't they for children? Say it.
1
@LEP021085 Why aren't those things for them, dimwit?
1
@LEP021085 Surely, if a gun is no more dangerous than a nerf ball, then kids should be able to play with it.
1
@LEP021085 That was my point, that you can single out inanimate objects as being more dangerous than others. Making out like a gun is no more dangerous than a qtip, is f*cking moronic.
1
@LEP021085 It's not dangerous to play with a nerf ball, because a nerf ball isn't dangerous, dimwit. It's the gun that's the dangerous part of the equation.
1
@mimked The downsides are that, if they are allowed to be sold, then that means straw purchases can also be made, getting AR-15s into the hands of criminals and, since 25% of guns used in crimes are stolen, that means the more AR-15s there out in the public = the more AR-15s there are for criminals and, since most violence, including shootings, happens between people who know each other, that means the more AR-15s there are handy, when someone blows their top.
