hey canada, how's that gun control thing workin' for ya? lol!

[flipgood89]

@pete5668 ....yeah, funny thing is we have more murders here, per capita, than any other industrialized nation so I fail to see ur point.

[joannajean]

@flipgood89 ...and those murders are ALL attributed to firearms? You might want to educate yourself.

Good thing the mounties took his guns. God forbid he might have been able to defend himself then and actually spare his life.

[flipgood89]

@joannajean ....there are always going to be acts of violence....that is a fact of life, but the idea that more firearms leads to less violence is absurd and irrational. Sure, in this case particular case would a gun have helped the victim? Perhaps. But we have to analyze probabilities as a whole, and more guns would just mean more crimes of passion, and disagreements that escalate into fatalities. More opportunities, more civility, and more generosity in societies as whole = less violence.

[joannajean]

@flipgood89 Oh no, we are starting down the road of the gun control debate. I respect your opinion, flipgood89. However, more and more "freedoms" are being taken away from Americans and pretty soon we will have very little left. The whole point is whether we trust our government enough to hand over the right to have firearms as citizens of this great country?

[joannajean]

@flipgood89 These opportunties, this civility, that we get so whistful about...where are they? It is harder and harder to make it. Harder to get through college, harder to compete for jobs and harder to put food on the table as there are more and more working poor people. Wake up! It's not about stopping violence or stopping death. Yes, both are inevitable. It's about Freedom.

[joannajean]

@flipgood89 Freedoms are being taken away, and by freedoms we mean choices.Soon we won't have a choice of what to eat, where to buy a car, who will fix that car (because only the dealerships will be able to fix them/No more mechanics),

[flipgood89]

@joannajean ...I respect urs as well, and our freedoms have been taken away --- by corporate greed. Wealth has been extracted by the elite. CEO pay has gone up 300% since 1990...worker pay? 4%. The top 10% own over 70% of the wealth. How has this impacted us? well the economy is always terrible when wealth is concentrated at the top...but for the working class, we have no freedom. In the 50s, a man could work and comfortably raise his fam. Now both parents work just to make ends meet
