Lets be fair they are both true, lets continue to work to improve the human condition and let's looking at access to firearms as we do so.

Marke, I fully admit and always have gun control laws that don't stop the supply of Guns don't work. So with porous borders between cities and states the laws are going to make little difference. Im in the UK its very very hard to get a gun at all and thus gun crime is rare. School shootings...

It doesn't tend to happen. We had a serious knife attack in 1996, which ended with 7 pupils injured none killed, and no other significant incidents with multiple fatalities/victims spring to mind. I think a headmaster was stabbed fatally in mind 2010's but that's it for the UK. Its seems to be...

Though like the God, the bible and loving discipline, I'm not sure it's the state's job to institute them. Comparing school shootings worldwide there are many secular countries that separate the church and state that don't have regular school shootings. The factora that stand out for the US...

That sums up my base position well, but I admit there are exceptions, when violence is the last resort of good people.

The issue is the same law that gives you a gun to protect yourself, guarantees that idiots going to have a gun too. I prefer my odds against an idiot with knife compared to an idiot with a gun.

It did take a talking head, all it took was his comments, the timing of them and the amount of money he has received from the NRA. But as I think we got close to agreeing on the other thread, there are bigger issues inn the world and i5 does well to keep out minds on both

I'm happy with a consistent pro-life position. If we love life with love all life. I'm happy to let God be the judge and it's my job to be a vehicle of grace to all.

Same here, I was mad fuming at Ted Cruz last night and wanted somewhere to vent. To be fair , venting helps no-one, so hopefully, a more conversational toner will be better. Wishing you and yours well.

The first is sorted ( its good fitness to ), the 2nd well all the research i've done and personal experience suggests owning a gun makes you no safer. I had an incident in South Africa where some wonderful gentleman pointed a gun at me and pulled the trigger, but for the grace of God I wouldn't...

I think we're all agreed we should do what we can about child poverty in the developing world and good news is much has been done in my lifetime, and continues to be done. Yes you are right that we pay too much attention to things in the west, and not enough in the two-thirds world. Why? the...

A decent point, I made it halfway through the video. However, when compared to mature western democracies, you are well out there. If Americans wish to compare themselves with central American countries, with an unstable government, rampant poverty, endemic crime, and failing criminal justice...

You are aware it's the Ukrainian army that fighting the Russians, led by their government, with weapons provided by the US and European governments. What is making a difference is NLaw's, Javelins, Drones and shared intelligence. The Russian military is not suffering because Ukrainian...

Apart from insults and condescension did you actually say anything of note? So school shootings make you great? OK without me engaging an immediate emotional or moral reaction to that statement, could you care to explain how school shootings make you great? As regards taking guns away, the US...

Nice to see you again, I notice you didn't go to charm school in my absence. Some stats for you; UK Knife homicides 2020/21 - 224, it is to high we are addressing the issue where we can. US Gun homicides 2020/21 - 20,000+ I'm suggesting you may want to look at this. Especially as its increased...
