Yes, there is. Legolas Send a noteboard - 06/02/2013 11:40:57 PM
Naive, my friend. It's just our nature to be violent.

I don't suggest that there is a simple fix that will solve all your violence problems just like that. But it seems fairly absurd to claim that there's no possible way you could ever reduce the violence rate. There are, after all, countries with considerably less violence - and of course also countries with far more. And the rates of things like murder or violent assault can in fact fall, sometimes quite rapidly, when the right measures are taken. "Violent nature" or not.

1600 gun deaths and counting since Newtown massacre moondog - 06/02/2013 05:40:29 PM 1280 Views
That is a tragic number but the laws they are proposing would have stopped very few of those deaths random thoughts - 06/02/2013 05:53:48 PM 765 Views
how many responsible owners are going to be selling out of the trunk of their car? moondog - 06/02/2013 06:02:43 PM 775 Views
You will never stop or reduce violence. Ever Dark Knight - 06/02/2013 09:01:15 PM 797 Views
Funny, that. *NM* jh - 06/02/2013 09:09:49 PM 357 Views
Perhaps, but we can still limit the damage done by controlling access to guns. *NM* Blaine - 06/02/2013 10:38:06 PM 399 Views
There's a gigantic difference between the "stop" and the "reduce" you so casually equate. *NM* Legolas - 06/02/2013 11:21:31 PM 404 Views
Is there? Without guns the rate of violence will fall heavily? Dark Knight - 06/02/2013 11:35:27 PM 829 Views
Yes, there is. Legolas - 06/02/2013 11:40:57 PM 757 Views
there are ways to reduce the violence but new guns laws are not one those ways random thoughts - 07/02/2013 04:29:01 AM 817 Views
best that we enforce the current laws then, as obama has directed in his executive orders moondog - 08/02/2013 05:59:22 PM 724 Views
violence, probably not as much as we would like. dead by gunshot? most assuredly so moondog - 06/02/2013 11:45:39 PM 731 Views
that is true but that is no excuse for feel good laws that do nothing but restrict rights random thoughts - 07/02/2013 04:24:34 AM 856 Views
I like how you say 'something more concrete' to describe 'nothing new' Isaac - 06/02/2013 10:38:35 PM 759 Views
i guess in this case "more concrete" means "not just swept under the rug anymore" moondog - 06/02/2013 11:38:52 PM 790 Views
I don't believe it has ever been swept under the rug in our lifetimes Isaac - 07/02/2013 12:40:55 AM 767 Views
we will have to continue to agree to disagree then moondog - 08/02/2013 06:06:38 PM 769 Views
This has more to do with resenting all the "...and another thing!" threads on the subject of late. Isaac - 09/02/2013 12:18:27 AM 795 Views
the nature of this forum prevents single threaded topics.... moondog - 09/02/2013 02:29:31 PM 768 Views
Your point being? Killing people is whole point of guns. Cannoli - 07/02/2013 12:02:24 AM 772 Views
You actually buy the bull**** the NRA tries to peddle? Blaine - 08/02/2013 08:00:40 PM 999 Views
