Gun fire in Jersey Mall

Monday, November 4, 2013 8:56 PM
Fortunately it seems no one was killed. This kind of thing needs to STOP. Repeal the 2nd Amendment and confiscate and destroy all civilian possessed guns and guns from retailers that sell them without proper precautions, PARTICULARLY gun shows. Outlaw the NRA.

    Every day over 30 people die in DUI related traffic accidents. Driving under the influence of alcohol is a crime. If making something illegal can magically stop the deaths, why is there a DUI related death every 48 minutes?

Only an amoral idiot, desiring fascist control of US citizens and the deaths of millions would suggest banning and confiscating firearms.

    The reason the Second amendment exists is to protect Americans from turds like Alucard who just want the scum of the earth to have guns. In America these shootings happen in the states with the most restrictive laws already. Can't you just see a murderer say I would kill you but guns are illegal so I won't? Outlaw the NRA is the type of thing that Hitler, Stalin and Mao would do. Progressives and liberals seem quite similar to all three. Vermin.

    Hey zef. Did you not see the category in dallas' post that said: Gun deaths, accident.. 851? How about the one that said, "Total number of deaths related to firearms discharge, all causes including proximate and non proximate (including suicide, accident, undetermined) in 2011 . . 31,940." That is less than septicemia which can occur in a hospital which is where the turd works. Is there anyone out there who believes that a person who wants to commit suicide would be deterred by a lack of a firearm.

No matter how much facts and evidence and political heresay you bring into the conversation, Alucard will NEVER listen to anything but his own thoughts. Even if it's about how a computer works and you're a certified microsoft/mac technician, he will always think he is right with no proof to back it up. Sad but proven fact

    "That's is how family members end up shooting another very often." US population is over 350,000,000, the number of domestic shooting fatalities is under 800. That works out to about 00.0023%, or a slightly greater risk than getting hit by lightning. Only a liberal calls something that happens lees often than a $1,000,000 lottery win, "very often." Logic just isn't one of your strengths is it, Alucard?

    " it seems no one was killed. This kind of thing needs to STOP. " I'm surprised Alucard is suggesting such as a thing. There are laws against mass murder and suicide. Only Alucard believes if a. law is passed banning something, then everyone will obey the law. No speeders, no thieves, no killers, no guns, yep, life as Alucard believes it. ONly the criminals will be able to defend themselves. Since it is not reasonable to believe you can take all the guns away from all the suicidal people or people with mental problems, it is reasonable that everyone else take means to defend themselves. Not defending yourself is like playing Russian roulette. Criminals would have it good if people couldn't defend themselves. Alucard is in effect suggesting something that would promote crime. Only criminals would have guns and they would be free to gun down anyone who stood in their way. Their only worry would be psychos with explosives or compound bows with explosive arrow tips. I haven't shot one of those but I did see Rambo shoot one.

    In the meantime Alucard might be sharpening up his ninja knife skills hoping for the day when knives could become the ultimate weapon. When he finds out I have a compound bow, he can say Ban all Bows! Really if you think about it, all of our past mass murderers except for a few used guns instead of explosives or they really could have killed and maimed a lot more people. I know how I could kill all large animal life on the planet with just a little bit of the right material. Only a madman would kill everyone. I think it would be interesting if Eco terrorists tried an experiment to see if they could trigger an ice age. I think it would be too big of an effort though. I think I could with some major funding and not having to worry about getting sued for causing global cooling.

    The total cost to cause an ice age might be less than a billion dollars. Governments would never go for it because they have too much tax money to gain from taxing all of us to stop global warming without doing too much to really stop it.

    dallas702, you should check your facts -- and your math :) The population of the U.S. is about 317,000,000 -- not "over 350,000,000". Also, 800 out of 350,000,000 works out to about 0.00023%, not "00.0023%". Be that as it may, I agree that banning guns is both pointless and unconstitutional, and banning the NRA (!) is a totalitarian idea.

    Hey Alucard, how come when somebody calls you on your facts you attack them and call them names instead of defending you position? Could it be that some here are correct that you don't *have* a defense, just a position, and you seek to divert attention from that fact? Like every other ad hominem attack is designed to do?

    @Dallas702; Is the number of domestic shooting fatalities, 800, the number that occurred in 2010. If so shouldn't you compare the 800 deaths with 2,468,435, the total number of deaths in 2010 according to CDC. This would give .032%. Still a small percent.

    @McDuece, you disputed my 350 million population and used a number of 317 million. I would argue that the US Census Bureau estimate for 2012 of 313,914,040 does not include resident aliens whether legal or criminal. Since the legal alien count is over 12 million and the number of alien nationals illegally in this country in estimated by many credible sources to be at, or over, 25 million, I will stick with my number of 350 million. That's our census of 313 million, plus 12 million legal foreigners (guests), plus 25 million illegal aliens (invaders), for a total of 350 million. You next point is a math error. Yours, not mine. The decimal fraction of 0.000023 is the same as the percentage of 00.0023% @zel8mich, minor detail - but I said "less than 800." The actual number of domestic deaths by firearms is not "available." - I guessed. But I stand by my comparison to total population. Your chances of getting killed by firearms accident in your home is related to the total population versus the number of accidental deaths (in home) by firearms. The number of people who died of all causes is irrelevant.

    I'm going to call bullshit on dallas702's comment about people "opposed to the US constitution" living in the US being amoral assholes (or asswholes, as the case may be). A major POINT of the constitution (right up there in the first amendment, doncha know) is protecting the right to dissent. Moreover, the constitution has a mechanism to be amended. It is the RIGHT of anybody to speak out against any constitutional provisions with which they disagree and advocate repeal of that provision by assembling as a part of a group (another constitutional protection, doncha know) to advocate an amendment to accomplish this goal. Now, repeal of the 2nd amendment isn't going to happen. Not anytime soon, at the very least. But your argument about the CDC study is specious. The strong opposition to the seizure of privately owned guns is why the 2nd amendment isn't going to be repealed. If popular sentiment were such that a repeal were possible the landscape would be fundamentally different. Now personally, I'm not a gun control advocate. I think people who use guns in crimes should get very severe sentences (more severe than is typical now). I also think existing laws should be enforced. But I support the right of law abiding citizens to purchase guns and keep them. However, I call bullshit on any dude who supports on provision of the constitution out of one side of his mouth while telling people who exercise their rights under another provision that they are amoral assholes out of the other side. Now, you have every right to say and believe that shit. Just as I have the right to call you on it. If you're going to sling shit at Alucard that is your right and within the rules of this unmoderated board. And it is Alucard's right to sling shit back at you. Or choose not to. Hell, you are entitled to the opinion that Alucard is whatever you think he is. But don't pretend to be supporting liberty while calling people who want to exercise their rights in a way you disagree with amoral assholes.

No I do believe, OTOH, that if you look at enough of alutard's other beliefs (e.g. "Ban the NRA!" which is anti-free speech and free association) that you conclude that he is anti-American. But to make that judgment just because he opposes the 2nd amendment is a leap on its own.

    Thank you zipman68. It is nice to see that you have some real SUBSTANCE to you. [NOT to mention Ballz - {Intentionally Mispelled} :) :)] It was a bit unexpected. Normally I am NOT publicly defended on this forum. Those who are freindly with me usually shy from a public show of support. My guess is that they don't exhibit this support publicly because of a desire NOT be constantly ATTACKED & MOCKED on a daily basis month after month, for showing support for me. I have NO doubts that Dougster and his countless minions & aliases would indeed treat like they treat me. Good for you zipman68, even if we disagree on gun violence & what to do about it. goodsouthernboy - I'm under NO requirement to offer explanations to anyone. If & when I do decide to explain, you'll see it. "brainless drivel repeatedly posted" Your opinion ONLY Asshole. If you don't want to read what I say - DON'T read it. This isn't Rocket Science. "that you conclude that he is anti-American" Your opinion ONLY! And considering the way you supposedly "think" I am not surprised at that BS statement. Your insult falls flat, just like all of those directed at me do. I am SURE as hell glad that my beliefs & thoughts as far as possible in a direction away from yours Dougster. I invite any member who isn't a Dougster minion & is reasonably open minded to read Dougster's countless posts & decide for yourself what he is all about.

    After a reboot installing new software, I scanned TUSCL without signing in and found zipman68's comment. (Normally I would have missed it since he earned a place on my ignore list.) Just for giggles, this time I'll respond. First, I never stated nor implied any desire to restrict anyone's rights, including the First Amendment right of free speech. I never said, nor implied, that the OP did not have the right to free speech. Please note, contrary to zipman68's assertion, free speech is NOT the same as dissent. The US Constitution does NOT specifically protect any right of dissent. Under certain circumstances, dissent has even been successfully prosecuted as treason. What I did say was, I consider those opposed to the US Constitution and yet living in the US to be amoral assholes. That is because I do consider anyone opposed to the rights, protections, responsibilities and benefits created and protected by the US Constitution, and yet residing here enjoying those self same benefits, to be both amoral and an asshole. That doesn't mean the OP does not have the right to express his opinion. It means that I sincerely believe his opinion makes him an amoral asshole. My opinion is offered, not because he exercises a right granted under the Constitution, but because he benefits from those rights and protections and yet openly opposes the very principles, structure and documents that provide the benefits he enjoys. Zipman68's criticism is misplaced, duplicitous and unwarranted. I spoke no word in opposition anyones rights. I said nothing about liberty. I did not in any form suggest the mitigation of any portion of the US Constitution, nor the restriction of any right, power nor authority granted therein.

    @motorhead, I lived in NJ for a few years (job requirement) and I found the white corn (a variety of sweet corn) to be excellent. I am sure some people would miss that. Otherwise, I would be unable to dispute your assertion.

    ^^^ I have a friend from New Jersey. He came to the Mudwest to go to college and ended up staying here. He's tried to tell me that NJ is not what I think. It does have lots of rural farms, (hence the name, The Garden State). But not having visited, my idea of it comes from TV - oil refineries, pollution, the Mob, horrible crime in the ghettos of Newark and Trenton, and -- of course -- the assholes on Jersey Shore.

    I should probably clarify my position for those who actually are engaging in some reasoned debate. I'm not going to directly address address Dallas because a) he claims to be ignoring me; and b) I've never had a high opinion of his intelligence. Not really worth my time...unless of course he does something funny in response (please Missa Dallas...I wants ya to do somethin' funny 'cos I need some LOLZ) I will, however, address one issue for the interest of those who actually want to hear something besides their own voice, like ol' Dallas. Dallas is correct that people have successfully been prosecuted for dissent in America, beginning as early as the Alien and Sedition acts. However, such actions on the part of the government were fundamentally contrary to the spirt of liberty. First amendment rights are meaningless unless one can express ideas that would logically correspond to dissent. We are, unfortunately, returning to such dark days. I wonder if Dallas ACTUALLY believes in liberty or actually doesn't give a fuck as long as "da gummint don't take his gunz". I took no position for or against Monsieur Dallas' posts until he characterized Alucard as an amoral asshole for disagreeing with his position. To be fair to Alucard, he never advocated doing anything he said through any means other than the democratic process. Above I stated my own position on gun control clearly. I also did not accuse Dallas of restricting Alucard or anybody else's rights. I'm sure he doesn't have that power. however, the characterization of one's opponents as not just wrong, but evil, if not exactly a pathway toward reasoned debate. I specifically called bullshit on that part and stand by that.

    with respect to Alucard...I honestly don't have a read on him. That is the big reason I've laid off him. I'm happy to joke with people. I'm happy to spar with people. I'm happy to engage anybody in an interesting exchange of opinions. I'm not quite sure how to do that with Alucard right now. I will say that I think he's actually a pretty reasonable guy behind it all. I disagree with some of what he say, agree with some other things. I suspect I'd enjoy a chat over a non-alcoholic beverage with him though... On the other hand, I find it interesting that Monsieur Dallas declares that I'm on his ignore list then proceeds to ridicule me...a sure sign that he doesn't want a respectful dialog. I suspect that I'd find him a stupid, ignorant blowhard if I had a beer (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) with him. Now I don't care about him ridiculing me...but the fact that I'm on his ignore list (if I really am...) raises an important question. Given that he doesn't want a respectful dialog and purports to be ignoring me, how am I going to get some LOLZ from the guy?

    alutard: "Your opinion ONLY!" Sorry, alutard, but I am not the only one who believes. Many in this thread see you for being the anti-American that you are. Can a person leap to that conclusion based only on your opposition to the 2nd amendment? I would say no, but given how fundamental the right of self-defense is to preservation of a democracy, I do think that is almost close enough to clinch it by itself. However, if we add in your opposition to free speech and free association as demonstrated by your calls to "Ban the NRA!" there is 0% doubt that you are anti-American at that point. It's a slam dunk. In fact, I would challenge you to find a single person here who would say you are not anti-American after making such a statement (making the big, but possibly wrong, assumption that you are even sane enough to understand the things you say). alutard: "Your insult falls flat, just like all of those directed at me do." They do not fall flat at all. Many have publically and private, via PMs, stated their agreements of my assessments of you. And, here's the best part - even you know they are true, and it is funny to see you retreat even deeper into paranoia and put up your other defense mechanisms ("I am a martyr!" "The end is near!") so you don't have to admit it publically on the board or even consciously to yourself. Keep trying though. Like I say, it's great amusing. Know, however, that you fool nobody. Not even yourself.

    @zippy: Dallas has admitted to being not only a theist but even a Christian. Like you, at that point I have no respect for his intelligence.

    When I hear about repealing the Second Amendment, which is the only thing standing between us and tyranny, I feel like the poster is an enemy of the United States and should be treated as such. Name a few societies where the people cannot own guns? North korea leaps to mind. China too. No thanks.
