Why liberals should love the Second Amendment

You didn't get suspended for posting that, you got suspended for a personal attack. I didn't specifically call you a name. I made a general reference about certain types of people, and I got suspended. It was really not fair. I am reformed. I just stick to the facts and tell it like it is.

Don't tell me you reported me.

You use articles and ignore everything else. Then you pull a slim on use extremes. Like the crime rate of a town of 6,000, that represents 0.001% of the US's population. Yet to you, this is still a great example. Plus any articles you can find. Apparently all crime rates by the FBI and equivalent agencies overseas are negated versus an article.

Great but that doesn't change the reality that your argument of it making a place safer being incorrect.

Can you name a country with the size, population and diversity of the U.S. that is safer?

So, like, if I want to marry another woman. And I do. Can I marry a dog? Or a small child? Where does it end?!

That's really up to your state and local government.

I've read that Qatar is unbelievable. Much better QOL than Australia.

Qatar is a nice place. I lived there for a few months back in '02. Kind of hot though.

Then you pull a slim on use extremes.

The beauty of the constitution is it protects extremes the same as it does the norm.

Like the crime rate of a town of 6,000, that represents 0.001% of the US's population. Yet to you, this is still a great example.

So, just to clarify the rules here, he's not allowed to compare a town with 0.001% of the US population but you're allowed to use an entire country with 7% of the US population?

Gary always uses Vermont as an example and they're only about 0.002%. I see where you're going with this. What's the cutoff here? Minimum of 5%?

all crime rates by the FBI and equivalent agencies overseas are negated versus an article.

That's usually only applies when it's your article. When I've posted stuff like the US having a lower crime rate than UK (AUS was unavailable, sorry) you dispute it with an article or "that doesn't count because you have so many gun deaths."

Remember, we only have about 16,000 gun deaths a year. That's only about 0.0015% of our population. So, is a number that low allowed or not?

I guess it's allowed when it fits your agenda... but not for anyone else.

I didn't report you. Remember, I got suspended too. My post was of towns that hadn't had a murder for at least a decade and it wasn't even in reply to a post of yours. Someone else made a post that there were no towns in the US without a murder for years and I posted several in my immediate area. Nothing was mentioned about cities, hence my reply.

And my links proved that the murder rate has gone down in the US over the past 15 years or so even though there has been a huge population increase during that time. Fact. You can us the FBI murder rate and it will prove exactly what I posted. Look at the murder rate and population in the 90's and compare it to today. Simple.
