Perhaps Hawkeye or shane could debunk this vid.

I think Shane already did.

Really? Where?

I thought the debunking was included when Shane posted it.

Oh my fucking head.

Ah yes, this tired argument. "The problem isn't that Chicago's gun laws are too strict, it's that out-of-state gun laws are too lax!" And of course, they never bother to look at said states' crime rates while calling them a problem.
Failing to clean up my own mistakes since the early 80s.

I have to ask them this. Even if the criminal gangs are getting their guns from states or counties with laxer laws, why do the places with the laxer laws, have lower murder and violent crime rates?

Because there's a better chance the potential victim is armed?

Also why did the murder rates go down after the Washington DC and Chicago Handgun Bans were lifted?

Essentially, the same reason. You don't pick the prey that's stronger than you, or the prey that's equal to you. You pick the weakest of the herd. This happens in nature too.

In this case, you have a gun. So, does half of herd A. There's a ban on gun in herd B. Which one are you going to hunt in?

Matthew East said.

QuoteNot entirely interested in the US, Merely bring truthful facts into the debate were the NRA will go and cherry pick from various years to make their case...

That being said, We should stay out of US domestic affairs? Like the US stays out of the domestic affairs of every other nation on earth...

I responded with

QuoteLike the guys who only point to gun crime and not look at all the crime across the board?. Or saying that gun control works even when the country with an already low crime rate was even lower PRIOR to gun control and then rose to a higher rate after gun control was passed?

Say's the Australian that has sent troops to the East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan?

He then response with

QuoteOh I'm happy to look at crime across the board, Choose the area and Ill gladly talk about it.

Gun control does work in Australia, As has been pointed out by many people but gun advocates continue to ignore the homicide rate rose for a short period then has since crashed to lower then before the new gun laws. On top of that, Not a single massacre in almost 2 decades and the last school shooting I can recall was at Monash in 2002.. Yet the US has had how many massacres and school shooting this year? Deaths from school shootings to date for 2010-2013 are at 78 with another 86 injured.

As for were Australia sent its troops, Iraq was based on false information given to us by the US (thanks a lot) and Afghanistan was due to their part in the attack on the US so we were backing you guys up when it was right to do so. East Timor, That has to be the stupidest argument you could have used, They were invaded by forces supported by Indonesia against the wishes of the majority of the populace, We sent in Peace keepers to protect them. Try again mate


Oh my god this guy is using the same reason that bush invaded Iraq for the Australian intervention in East Timor. I swear these people are some of the biggest hypocrites around.

People who complain about commercialism during Christmas.
