... As you said it, they are made for one purpose, therefore not everyone should be allowed to own a gun.
Ah, you must mean Olympic target shooting. Yes down with Olympians!!! Go back to ancient Greece you nuts. |

what i love most about the bitcoin community; is the irony of almost every single person being in it for the fiat  lol, true. But some of us are the real deal. I ONLY use BTC online and have never sold any bitcoin. Keep your shinny metal poker chips and fancy paper. I only want 1's and 0's. |

Guns set to surpass the car as america's top killing machine.
Satire aside, your point is that Gov't regulation has successfully reduced vehicular death, and so perhaps Gov't regulation could reduce fire arm deaths. The problem is that the statistics are all jacked. Even the language is jacked. Car " accidents" and gun " violence". Vehicular death is much more violent than firearm death, so why is one an accident, and the other violence? The deaths are also not broken down into criminal action and non-criminal action. For example, Gov't regulation may reduce non-criminal vehicular death since more kids are in car seats (good). But has Gov't regulation really reduced criminal vehicular death (ie drunk drivers and unlicenced truckers)? Also, why isn't there a breakdown in firearm death. Firearm deaths are all deaths with, by, near, or regarding a gun. Rather nonsense if you ask me. A guy robbing a convenience store and shooting the owner in cold blood... ok +1 on "gun violence". BUT a homeowner shooting a guy who broke into his house... -1 on "gun violence" and +1 on good and positive use of firearms. Now there is also the statistic of accidental shootings, but again, this are all lumped together in one mass number relating to all people killed by, with, near, or regarding a gun. Honestly, its only a matter of time before they start grouping USMC casualties while in active engagements abroad as "gun violence". When there are honest statistics (yes, that is an oxymoron) then we can have an honest comparison. A+ Good points! I am unaware of any gun statistics that do not include a bias one way or the other. The people who are against gun ownership have the right to live unprotected from violence if they choose. But stay away from us who know better. I'm sure the mental patient hacking up people at a mall will put down his hatchet to listen to your statistics. The real problem with violence in this country is a societal problem involving poverty, mental illness, and the raising of children on a constant daily stream of hideous violent entertainment. You want to do something about violence? Try taking on TV advertisers, try paying for housing the mentally ill, try changing the tax code to reduce poverty. This does not happen because YOU (a person wanting a gun ban) have to do something. Instead you would rather force someone else to do something. Until YOU can say what YOU are going to give up you should be ignored. |

I believe some form of gun control is needed (i.e. background checks, gun restriction, etc) but nothing some extreme liberals are proposing. I think of myself as a liberal but they often do go way overboard with gun issues.
I am also progressive/liberal. I totally agree with what your saying. I think people mean well, but gun control is to the left what abortion is to the right. It is a settled issue that some will not let go of. I also support background check, most gun owners I know do. |

Is Croatia Europe? Then I have been in gun fights there as well. In Europe you guys think you don't need guns. Then every 50 years you all die from guns at once. Hitler said you don't need guns. Stalin agrees. Good luck.  @ the jointTo be clear. I have not been in a gunfight in the U.S., although I have seen them. However, I have seen war on three continents. I did not like it. |

Really.. Congrats man,. You must have done quite well for yourself. Have you investing your earnings into anything else. Maybe stock or bonds or real estate I wish I could claim it was because of my financial wizardry, but I basically got lucky. When they were under a dollar the economy was tiny and unlikely to succeed. There were countless posts here explaining why it is impossible for bitcoin to ever reach $1. But after reading Satoshi's white paper I thought it was bloody brilliant. I do not sell bitcoins, but I have spent a lot of them. For diversification I buy gold, for fun I buy high end guns; and I'm looking for 40+ acres of forest to make my own wildlife refuge. |

Guns should be used only by the army and SWAT. I think that such restriction would make life much easier for all. In america it's seen as a hobby. You can see videos of people testing out guns and shoting out watermelons outdoors in some places that sometimes look like their backyard. It's pretty insane to anyone not living on there. I mean you can walk in on that area without knowing someone is shoting shit up and get shoot... pretty crazy.
Most terrorist have this "hobby" too. Americans will have to let that go. For most cases a pepper spray is just enough. Really, Have you been in a gunfight? I have, and I know you have not because you think pepper spray is of some use. Good luck with that! Again, why would anyone listen to people who know nothing about guns? Do you ask the bag boy at the store about your investment portfolio? I know my guns, and I would hope you never pull out pepper spray on an armed person. Your best bet is trying to bargain for your life with a blow job or something. I don't know what will happen in the end. It's really not up to us, the criminal will decide what your future is. |

I hear a lot of talk about banning guns because of what someone may do. Well here in the US we punish people for what they have done. I think all this comes from people who know nothing about gun culture. There seems to be this belief in the supernatural power of a gun. as though the gun will compel a sane person to murder. In reality you would never guess who carries everyday. Would you have guessed my neighbor, the petite nurse? Or how about my friend the college professor and concert cellist? For us the gun is no more alive than a hammer or a drill or a toaster.
A CC is not a licenses to kill, you have only the right to defend your life in an immediate situation. If you come home to find your wife being raped and soot the the assailant, you will be prosecuted for murder. In fact, even if you shoot someone in a completely legal way you will be financially ruined. I have heard that the average defense for a legal CCW shooting is about $80,000. This is why you never see our guns. God forbid, if anyone ever sees mine it will be for just a moment and it will be the last thing they ever see. Don't want to see my gun? Simple, just do not attempt to murder me.

I just want to know if it is really necessary to keep guns?
Let's hope we don't start outlawing things unless we need them. America is a country filled to the brim whit stuff we do not need. The greatest need is tied to our form of government, which requires us to fight and die against our own people if they become corrupt. That is a powerful statement and hard for us to understand. But the people who made this government knew that all of your rights are utterly meaningless without an armed populace. Look at our supposed rights to keep the government out of our lives. What is that worth now that we know that our government is spying on us with no regard for our privacy? And now the government wants our guns? As a law abiding citizen of the United States it my duty and responsibility to say NO. So why not keep your guns locked up in the range no need to take it home i bet shooting targets is really good fun so i have no problem with that.. just leave your guns at the range  more guns more deaths and as someone pointed out you have more chance of getting shot by someone you know than a stranger trying to rob you or invading your home NO MORE WALKING AROUND LIKE JOHN WAYNE ITS OVER YOUR GOVERNMENTS COMING TO GET YOUR GUNS  Because they are my guns. And they will do me little good when someone is breaking into my home with their guns. 2. more guns more deaths and as someone pointed out you have more chance of getting shot by someone you know than a stranger trying to rob you or invading your homeThat is factually incorrect. I grew up in a place where EVERYONE had a gun. And I do mean every family in my neighborhood. Guess how many times we shot each other or accidentally shot someone? It's a silly thing to say you can't defend your life because you might do it wrong. I'll take my chances. Like a lot of shooters in the U.S. I have far more experience and gun knowledge than the cop who is going to show up after the fact. When I moved to a large city with an outright ban on carrying firearms I was introduced to gun violence. I heard shots all the time. My neighbor across the street (a school principal) was shot through the neck on his front porch and died, my GF at the time faced two home invasions in 1 year, a guy I work with was shot in the stomach by a 13 year old boy on a bet! A home invasion at my place was foiled by my AK-47, and I saw someone shot in a nearby park. What is dangerous is not how many guns but when only some people have guns.
3.YOUR GOVERNMENTS COMING TO GET YOUR GUNSQuite the opposite is true. I have more gun rights now than at any point in my life. I can buy more kinds of guns and accessories and I can carry in more places. I have gotten more gun rights here in Wisconsin even in the past week. |

Anyone want to show this? I personally think it would take millions to move the market. It would only move it temporarily and by an unknowable amount. People with millions of dollars did not get rich throwing money at a childlike scheme that could make some money, or lose some money. I think the effect of market manipulation is very greatly exaggerated.
This is a phenomena in many markets and has been studied by psychologists. People try to attribute random events to a conscious force. So if the market goes down and Mr.X loses money he may be inclined to think someone did something to him rather than taking into account that the price change involved the actions of thousands of people acting in their own interests.

Didn't read past the bullshit first paragraph.
That arbitration court ruling was nearly a year ago, not last week, and any enforcement of it is done through court proceedings, not by governments.
Correct. And on the contrary, Russia's economy is tanking. Ours is weirdly chugging along. I think we are just going to back to ignoring Russia and doing our own thing. We have more important problems to address. |

They can take them now or take them later. I don't care, I no longer use them. If they want my money again they will have to take bitcoin, because bitcoin IS my money.

I call for a love war! There is not going to be a race war. Only old people and hillbillies are so deluded to think that. In fact the nation becomes browner each day and in twenty years no one will be black or white anyway. It will be beautiful.

How do you buy coins for $1.25?
In a similar way as asking for a loan for $1.25? Heck, send it in the mail. |
