Today I placed my Smith & Wesson .357 Mag revolver on the table right next to my front door. I left 6 cartridges beside it, then left it alone and went about my business. While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor's son across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the "stop" sign near the front of my house.
After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was quietly sitting there, right where I had left it. It had not moved itself outside. It had not killed anyone. Certainly, even with the numerous opportunities it had presented to do that. In fact, it had not even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong, or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.
The United States is 3rd in murders throughout the world. But if you take out just 5 'left-wing' cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., St Louis and New Orleans - the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the ENTIRE WORLD, for murders. These 5 cities are controlled by Democrats. They also have the toughest gun control laws in the USA. It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data, right?
Well, I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat.
“ The cities cited in the meme accounted for 1,568 of 17,250, or 9.1 percent, of all homicides reported to the FBI in 2016, Tom Kovandzic, a criminologist at the University of Texas, Dallas, calculated for us. And without those cities, the homicide rate (per capita) would only decline by 7.73 percent, or from 5.34 to 4.93.
When we applied those reductions to the UN data, the United States barely budged in its international standing. It moved down four spots in per capita murders and stayed the same in total murders. That’s inconsequential compared with the 186-spot jump the meme concocted.”

the act of owning a firearm does not infringe on your right to your life, your liberty and or you pursuit of happiness/property. owning something with altruistic intentions is not the same as owning something with sinister intentions. this goes for knives, fireworks and cars which have all been used to murder people.
Parker Mitchell
Yeah OP is a faggot. Now break down the murder rate by race of the perpetrator. Show me the per capita rate of gun murders by whites in America versus the other races. Compare to the rest of the industrialized worlds' murder rates.
Then you can shut up.

Honestly if you have guns you need to turn them in to your local police department. I gave up my ar15, Springfield.45, and sig sauer 9mm. Could have sold them but didn’t want them back in circulation. I got my BLM tattoo and have become an ally. I’m fucking DONE with racism and bigotry and if you engage in that shit… you better keep it to your fucking self
Bentley Perez
I don’t really give a shit, anons All I care about here is that OP is too dumb or too lazy to form a new argument and, incapable of actual thought, has decided to post a debunked meme as fact imo that is vastly more dangerous than any gun
Brandon Watson
OP here. Too lazy. I love to repost this as is and watch the hilarity commence. Great long-term value.
Exactly you dont care because you cant form an intelligent argument to my statement. Just because i own something doesnt mean ill use it to kill.
Ian Russell
>watch the hilarity commence As an oldfag I support that As someone fully cognizant of how retarded the userbase of this site has become in the past decade and a half I loathe the way this shit keeps bouncing back and forth between the boomers and Gen z incels At least post sharpie in poopar to make up for some of the damage you’re doing to their feeble little brains
Jayden Brown
I whole-heartedly agree with this.
Gavin Mitchell
found the nigger
Leo Anderson
>Exactly you dont care because you cant form an intelligent argument Look at this feeble little brain This user really can’t comprehend that I might not be emotionally invested in this crusade, but find OP’s methodology to be evidence of a problem greater than either gun rights or even dead children
>Guns don’t kill people by themselves so lots of human beings having them doesn’t cause any problems whatsoever.
Guns don’t kill people. People kill people with guns. You have proved nothing.
Isaiah Evans
>guns don't kill people They sure help though, don't they.
Parker King
personal attacks are the sign of abundant intelligence...
Jackson Sanders
>personal attacks are the sign of abundant intelligence... Pointing out an inability to see more than one facet of an issue is not a personal attack It’s an observation that the user clearly can’t think critically, because they can’t think at all
Hunter Ross
being this retarded. guns come from somewhere to those cities and thats gun right states.

CNN news pundits want to legalize child pornagraphy. And these are the people who want to ban guns. Not hard to figure out that when they make child porn nobody will be able to shoot them for it. Its a solid move on their part
Joshua Edwards
>CNN news pundits want to legalize child pornagraphy
and then everyone clapped, and a bald eagle landed on top of the flagpole to celebrate the greatest, freest country that ever existed.
USA
Andrew Wood
Exactly, we see this shit in England, yeah there’s still murders all the time, but it’s kinda hard to murder 16 people in five minutes with a knife.
Jonathan Hernandez
Taking guns from law abiding citizens won't stop criminals. If they are willing to kill someone they don't care about laws. You know what stops criminals? Getting shot.
Wyatt Morris
ill watch your gun while youre gone
Evan Watson
today a typical paid trollbot trumpinski apologist tried to post about politics using neegartowns as his example.
