For all your talk of Chicago ADBT (I am being honest here).

1. That article looks at the numbers by state; not by city. Chicago is a city, and its numbers far outweigh that of its own entire state

2. That article takes into account all gun related incidents: homicides, suicides, and accidents. I am speaking only of homicides. I thought that was pretty clear.

...but what about in the long-term? Obviously things wouldn't change overnight, it would take generations. Our great-grandchildren will thank us!,

Oh, Jay. Absolutely. I tried to make it clear that I fully support much stricter gun control. I wasn't arguing again that. I was simply reaffirming the belief and stance that even with gun control, most inner-city and gang on gang violence will not change. And that is what can be attributed most to gun violence in places like Chicago and New York City.

But what about people who promise that they're going to stop posting here but continue to do it every day?

From a person who on this very day said he believes in "honesty"!? It is to laugh and laugh and laugh.

"I was simply reaffirming the belief and stance that even with gun control, most inner-city and gang on gang violence will not change."
Except in other countries like Australia and the UK that have stricter gun laws and don't have the problem with gang violence that we have here.
You think that's because there's no gang activity in the UK?

Gee, where are any stories about people who have protected themselves with their guns?

[Liza's Headband]

Erik - Australia and the UK have a full ban on firearms, don't they? I assume that is the primary contributing factor. I was specifically referring to stricter gun control in America, not a complete firearm ban since that would undoubtedly never fly here. Speaking of gang violence and the UK: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-15238377

The intention of this thread has been bastardized with unnecessary counterpoints from people who in some cases claim they don't believe the points they're arguing in it.

Yes. Provide some BS commentary on other posters instead of actually addressing the posts. That's always productive!

This thread, which I created, was designed to document the daily shooting in the United States. There was no need for a devil's advocate. No need. Everyone has ability to start her own thread, but the devil's advocate won't do that because he can't troll my thread that way. And that's its bottom line.

Though not a shooting, it's still relevant to the subject.

Tuesday was also the day that Georgia's so-called "guns everywhere" law went into effect, allowing residents to carry guns into bars, nightclubs, classrooms, and certain government buildings. Among other things, the law also prohibits police from demanding to see the weapons permit of someone seen carrying a gun.
Everybody's got the right to be happy...

That guns everywhere law is insane. There is no need for something like that to ever be passed.

In an interview with police chief Bratton, it was stated that the cessation of the stop and frisk plan has had a direct influence in the high numbers of shootings we now have in NYC.

[ErikJ972]

Stop and frisk is a policy that will never address the problem of gun violence in this country. Unless everyone has an equal chance of being stopped and frisked. And it has horrible consequences. Making entire communities mistrust the police and view them as the enemy.
Stop and frisk in action.

I'l like to see a lot of random stop and frisks in the open carry states. It wouldn't be carnage at all because these are all those much-vaunted responsible gun owners.
