For example, when the state of New Jersey wanted to ban the .50 BMG (pretty much a military caliber) to cut down on gun violence…also tried to slip in blackpowder muzzleloading firearms. NJ tried to ban them based on caliber size, when, in fact, blackpowder muzzleloading firearms of any caliber are not used to commit crimes. In addition, the .50 BMG had never been used in the state of New Jersey to commit any type of crime ? Honest mistake, or deliberate attempt to pull the wool over our eyes ?

if gun control works so well, what about new york? they have a big crime problem and still have gun control. No the majority of gun violence isnt from citizens who buy from a licensened federal dealer but when they steal from honest citizens via burglary in home, office or car. but mostly through illegal guns on the black market. but think about this. if all the citizens have their firearms removed and only the Police and military are armed then what is the result? Its called a Police state. is that a smart move? sounds a little totalitarian to me. also, for the rural areas where Police have a longer response time? How could u defend your life or loved one’s lives? what just reason with a rapist/mugger burglar not to hurt you? beg them to be nice until police arrive? how about the thousands of cases where just the PRESENCE of a firearm detered a violent assualt or murder or rape?! the biased news media wont tell you that will they? 2nd amendment rights!

Most reasons we end up needing health care are preventable.
Too fat and out of shape, leads to high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, etc.
Wouldn’t it be better to help people get exercise and eat better foods?
AIDS sickens (and kills) lots of people. Needles for junkies, or drug rehab programs; lot’s of subsidized rubbers if you can’t afford them. End this culture of sex and promiscuity, AIDS goes way down.
Car accidents injure (and kill) a lot of people. Crack down on drunk and drugged driving, aggressive driving, no seat belts. Less accidents is a good thing.
Gun violence. End the gun culture. Too much access to cheap firearms of a military style. Only sporting arms, all registered, all secured. With rights comes RESPONSIBILITY.
Smoking sickens and kills many people. While you maybe shouldn’t ban cigarettes, they are too cheap and too advertised. Let smokers pay for their own health care.
Bottom line, much of the money spent on healthcare is from PREVENTABLE causes.
Why not take care of these problems at the root cause? That would be bad news for the health care industry.

I have a question. Has anybody ever heard of a school shooting on a military base? Has anybody ever heard of a domestic disturbance involving a shooting on a military base? I have not, Does no one find this odd that the military who are trained to and use firearms a lot don’t allow them in their houses? And there are few IF ANY shootings on these bases. Yet in public schools, homes, and life we can find countless reports of gun incidents and deaths. So how is it that the pro gun, Republican, military have banned guns outside of war have no incidents and civilians who are declaring it is their right to own firearms in their homes have escalated gun violence? Even now nursing homes are being targeted. And a child was killed at a gun show.

hunting rifles im ok with but hand guns and assault rifles are made to kill people. if we stopped making those available to the public i think gun violence would go down. no one is going to walk down the street with a 3 foot manual rifle.
