GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[BlueTiki]

I find it distasteful that both you and Spy claim some sort of moral high ground, suggesting that those who desire and exercise their guaranteed 2^nd Ammendment rights, somehow don't care about victims ("innocents") killed by the actions of criminals or the deranged. Talk about the "same old horse-shit rhetoric"!

Tiki, Your statement above, "Why have the majority of mass killings happened while a Democrat is in the White House?" shows your lack of knowledge re this issue......and to be honest, I think you are full of shit. What "moral high ground" is so distasteful to you, oh wise one?

I thought my statement was clear. I interpreted both your and Spy's position as an "either or" proposition. Let's see if I can "dumb it down a bit":

To suggest 2^nd Amendment advocacy (passive or staunch) OR the safety of children and empathy for the victims of gun violence are mutually exclusive is unbelievable, extremely narrow-minded and unfathomable, to me. Ergo: I find it distasteful.

Stating that "gun enthusiasts", "gun owners" (or any other moniker placed on those who perceive any infringement of 2^nd Amendment rights) as being selfish people who CARE MORE FOR THEMSELVES and BELITTLE THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN OR VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE . . . potential or actual . . . is repugnant and is an example of emotional, anti-gun "same old horse-shit rhetoric".

In fact, I find it on par with the spew; if you disagree or criticize Obama, you are a racist.

My statement that more mass-shootings occur during a Democrat presidency was an attempt to make an absurd correlation, relating to gun violence. There are so many out there, I thought it would be fun to present another . . . a lampoon. It was in the same vein as having a gun buyer sign a paper (promising to break no laws) and comparing it with the Iran agreement.

Anyone with a modicum of sense, sanity and rationality would see the ridiculousness of the relationship. No . . . I take that back. Those who are governed by entrenched emotion, preconceived perceptions and contempt . . . prior to investigation . . . would predictably take offense. Maybe those with the flu, too.

However, even with your confident denial, the statement is, in fact, true (according to CNN). Let's examine their 28 Top Mass-Shootings:
32 Killed - April 16, 2007 - G. W. Bush
27 Killed - December 14, 2012 - Obama
23 Killed - October 16, 1991 - H. W. Bush
21 Killed - July 18, 1984 - Reagan
18 Killed - August 1, 1966 - Johnson
14 Killed - August 20, 1986 - Reagan
13 Killed - November 5, 2009 - Obama
13 Killed - April 3, 2009 - Obama
13 Killed - April 20, 1999 - Clinton
13 Killed - February 18, 1983 - Reagan
13 Killed - September 25, 1982 - Reagan
13 Killed - September 5, 1949 - Truman
12 Killed - September 16, 2013 - Obama
12 Killed - July 20, 2012 - Obama
12 Killed - July 29, 1999 - Clinton
10 Killed - March 10, 2009 - Obama
9 Killed - October 1, 2015 - Obama
9 Killed - June 17, 2015 - Obama
9 Killed - March 21, 2005 - G. W. Bush
9 Killed - June 18, 1990 - H. W. Bush
8 Killed - October 12, 2011 - Obama
8 Killed - August 3, 2010 - Obama
8 Killed - January 19, 2010 - Obama
8 Killed - March 29, 2009 - Obama
8 Killed - December 5, 2007 - G. W. Bush
8 Killed - July 1, 1993 - Clinton
8 Killed - September 14, 1989 - H. W. Bush
8 Killed - August 20, 1982 - Reagan

And the final mass-shooting occurrence tally: Democrat President - 17 (61%) . . . Republican President - 11 (39%)

In fact, 12 occurred during Obama's presidency (43%) . . . more than the number of occurrences for the 3 Republican presidents [Reagan, H.W. & G.W. Bush], combined (39%).

Adds a whole new meaning to "put a nigger behind the trigger". From Full Metal Jacket . . . not CNN.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

The facts are clear: A Democrat Administration causes people to commit mass murder. This conclusion is from The Onion. They also concluded you have a greater chance of being a victim of a mass-shooter in months beginning with an "A" or "J".

Hmmm . . . I wonder if I suggest a parallel to the gun deaths in Chicago by the hands of Blacks with illegal guns and the propensity to commit violence, by a specific race, per capita . . . ?
Wait! I know the answer to this one!

I'd be a selfish, shit-spewing, HALF-white supremacist. Unfortunately, half ain't a majority.

*NOTE* I added the Presidents from memory. Might wanna check my accuracy.
