So I was thinking about all this talk of banning guns. If they ban guns do you think that there will be an increase in knife violence? I do. I know it If you are going to kill someone you are going to do it. Murder has existed since the first family. It will always exist. It is already against the law to kill someone. So by outlawing guns you are just taking peoples rights away and leaving them defenseless to someone can simply print out a gun and kill you anyways. It is pointless. Or is there an ulterior motive? 1. Would there be an increase in knife violence if guns were banned. (note you are dumb if you think they will stop with the guns currently targeted). 2. What is that ulterior motive?

So you are saying that people with violent tendencies are prone to use guns? I thought all violent criminals were liberals. And liberals don't own guns.

Of course. A very reasonable request. After all,when has that never worked out and led to gun confiscation after the various governments that have done this found out where all the guns are. Nothing to see here,people. Move on. In the course of normal law enforcement, when guns are discovered, absent valid registration and proof of insurance, the individual in possession of the firearm will be charged with a crime, and the weapon in question would be confiscated. Nothing wrong with that,either. Makes good sense and it is very reasonable and moderate approach to solving all the violence in this country. After all,if people knew that murdering other people was illegal,surely nobody would commit murder,right? There is one pesky little thing standing in the way of this,though. The US Constitution,which says this is a RIGHT,not a privledge. While you are at it,which of the other 9 Bill of Rights do you want to nullify? Obtaining a firearm would become much more challenging, requiring a more in depth background check, including medical and criminal history, and a semi- annual drug and alcohol screening. (at the gun-owners' expense) Good idea! This will keep all of those poor darkies and rednecks from having guns,and our bodyguards get to keep theirs. The very people who need to defend themselves the most. Excellent idea! Other than that "equal protection under the law" nonsense,that is. Qualifying for Concealed Carry permits would require additional proof of competency, higher levels of liability insurance, a more thorough background investigation and registration with law-enforcement. Reasonable? VERY reasonable and sensible. IF you are a Nazi or a Stalinist.

You would want a constitutional amendment to implement this correct? Who cares? Obviously the last several presidents didn't and don't give a damn about it other than to hate it for stopping them from doing what they wanted to do.

It will and it does. Only a fool or a liar would claim it doesn't. Which is it in your case?

Guns, knives, fists, gasoline, automobiles matches. There are more murders by knife and feet then guns. FBI Crime statistics.
So what. The government isn't always wrong. I know you side with the rioters and say they had a just cause.
TNT.
And I agree. None of mine are registered,and will never be registered as long as I own them. Or even after I own them. I have recently started to give away some of the ones I never carry or shoot to the adult children of friends. People I know who are under the radar screen and who will never register them,either. I recently gave away a 1930's S&W 22lr "kit gun" with a 6 inch barrel to the son of a dead friend of mine who is currently in college. Very nice kid who is very conservative and who is holding a 4.0 grade average. I hadn't even shot the damn thing in 20 years,so I gave it to somebody who would shoot it. Being in college,a 22 is about all he can afford to shoot. I highly recommend that others start to do this,too.

Sure they do,and you are wrong about something else,too. They are NOT liberal in ANY sense of the word. They are communists or communists adult brother,fascists. *I* am a liberal,not you or they.

There are more murders by knife and feet then guns. FBI Crime statistics. I never said that there wasn't. BUT the conservative position is that the violent criminal element that prefers guns as it's weapon of choice tends to be more liberal than conservative and that the gun owning public tends to be very much more conservative than liberal. Both fallacies BTW but plenty believe them to be true. Just like you still think I'm Lucy.

I don't recall anyone making that argument. But it is probably true as conservatives have better morals. For example "liberals" see nothing wrong with killing a kid. They think it is a right.
Should 3d printers be illegal?
The conservative movement now claims the violent criminal element as their own? LOLOL I must have missed that. Actually the Tea Party's corporate owners have NO morals.

There are lots of liberal gun owners. A good friend of mine who's a liberal, went out and bought a Chinese AK-47 just before the AW ban took effect in the '90's. He loaded up a hi-cap mag and started blasting at the rocks on the other side of the arroyo about 20 feet away, until a ricochet broke a bottle of Bullseye barbeque sauce sitting on the tailgate between two people. We gave him a few gun safety tips, but he's still a hardcore liberal.
Should files and tempered steel pipe be illegal?

You sure lie a lot. Do you have a conscience?
There are lots of liberal gun owners. I used to work for this restoration company. There was one liberal Jim. He was for Clinton and hated Bush. Had that bumper sticker "To hell with the environment re elect George Bush. He was liberal on almost everything. But he wasn't on guns. He was very pro second amendment. He was a good guy too. Learned a lot from him.
For example?
Your Korean heros in that photo you posted on that other thread were on the side of the GOVERNMENT. So what. The government isn't always wrong. I know you side with the rioters and say they had as just cause. I said THEY thought they had a just cause. Someday you will learn to discuss topics without always having to put your biases into it. And you sided with cops and and said they had as just a cause. Like the safety of the general populace.

CEOs routinely put their morals aside for the good of the corporation and stockholders which in all cases is to return a profit. Making money for the owners is always their primary concern, and their legally bound fiduciary duty.

How can you be in favor of a movement run by corporations with their corresponding new found "rights" as "individuals" yet not know anything about the legal responsibilities that those same corporationss have to their owners?

I guess the silly question I have is how do you plan on making all the criminals register their firearms??? All you are doing is making it harder for the average person to defend themselves adequately from the people I mentioned in the above sentence... And if you think the police are going to solve the problem by responding faster well that ain't gonna happen either, some people live "HOURS" from police response!! Of course I know you don't see it that way because you think that what you think is right even though it's wrong, and that you also think money grows on trees!!!

Why can't we follow Israel's lead on this one?

Anyone who disagrees with you is considered lying because you have no idea what the definition of the word "lying" is. Just like you have no idea what the definition of "corporation" really is.

“We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammunition box.”
What other "governments" have done, is irrelevant. "if people knew that murdering other people was illegal,surely nobody would commit murder,right? Straw man - irrelevant. There is one pesky little thing standing in the way of this,though. The US Constitution,which says this is a RIGHT,not a privledge. sp (privilege) Registering an inanimate object really has nothing to do with an individual's right...... While you are at it,which of the other 9 Bill of Rights do you want to nullify? Another straw man argument - boring This will keep all of those poor darkies and rednecks from having guns, Please keep your racist comments to yourself.
What other "governments" have done, is irrelevant. Why is it irrelevant? Are we a superior race and incapable of the evils of men of other nations?
"Making all the criminals register their firearms" Can't be done, However, illegally owning a firearm will result in criminals being incarcerated. Of course, lets understand that there are LOTS of nut jobs walking the streets who, if subjected to a simple background evaluation would not be allowed within 20 yards of a weapon. That is the point of this argument, I am not advocating any sort of gun ban, I am suggesting only that, our current approach has been a failure and perhaps some changes are in order.... Your point is valid, registration doesn't prevent all firearms from falling into the wrong hands - but it will help a lot more than pretending that nothing can be done, and sticking our heads into the sand.... if you think the police are going to solve the problem by responding faster well that ain't gonna happen either, some people live "HOURS" from police response!! Now you're just making shit up...I never suggested such a ridiculous thing....not even a valid argument Of course I know you don't see it that way because you think that what you think is right even though it's wrong, I DO believe what I've said is right. - just because you say it is wrong means nothing to me - it is just your opinion. and that you also think money grows on trees!!! Again, I have not suggested anything of the sort, don't make shit up!
Our society, and our form of government is indeed unique in the world, and this point in human history is also unique. And we are not predisposed to repeat the mistakes of other countries, and to suggest that we are is moronic.
Again, I have not suggested anything of the sort, don't make shit up! Uhhh yea you did when you said this... "For instance, effective at a certain date in the near future, all firearms must be registered. The registration must be renewed each year, and a registration tax must be paid. Additionally, all gun owners must pass a competency test, and carry specific liability insurance"... Your solution costs money and money is something that some people need more for food than they need to spend on another tax to feed the insatiable/insane needs of the local and federal governments... Some people only have weapons because they were given to them or they inherited them, otherwise they wouldn't have them (because they can't afford them) and wouldn't be able to protect themselves.... The way I see it poor people have just as much right to protect themselves as people who have more money, don't you???
“We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammunition box.”
Now you're just making shit up...I never suggested such a ridiculous thing....not even a valid argument You know you really should get out more.... Have you ever been in the mountains where roads follow the natural terrain of the land??? And even though you might live 15 miles from a town (as the Crow flies) it is 60-100 miles by vehicle!! So what do those people do, hire a cop to hide in the bushes 1/2 miles down the road waiting for them to call?? Duhhh, I think not!!
“We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammunition box.”
No, you're wrong. You are inferring what I did not imply. I never said a word about money growing on trees. Now as to your point about all the poor people who would go hungry because they would be required to pony up a registration fee for each firearm they possess.... One word - priorities

It isn't patriotic to obey an illegal government screwing with God given rights. I would suggest it is unpatriotic to register your gun.

In your scenario since it obviously violates the second amendment.
