In reply to Spyke. Citation needed for ‘millions more children are saved by guns.’

It’s very interesting how rape and murder are considered to be the worst crimes yet there is no registry for convicted murderers or those who drive-by and shoot kids and are later released on a technicality. Why isn’t rape and molestation of children glorified in the movies as murder is glorified? It’s such a bias and shrewd system. So much of it needs to be corrected.

You are highly misinformed. Guns are NOT the number one killer of children in the US. The number one killer is actually accidents, followed by cancer/self harm/congenital issues/homicide depending on age.

Of those accidents, the top killers are as follows: motor vehicle traffic, drowning, and then fire/burns. After that is firearms. This is based on 30 years of research.

And in fact, millions more are saved every year by guns than are harmed.

Finally, someone in Washington gets it. Maybe the pendulum is swinging the other way.

In reply to Bwj. Because just because I am a sex offender does not mean I am a convicted felon. My adjudication. Of guilt was withheld. Which means I don’t loose my rights. :) I can vote, I can buy guns, I have my conceal carry license...

You missed the boat on this one, Walt.
I never said people should not be allowed to own a firearm.
I believe every home and store owner should have a firearm for protection.
I am pointing out the fact that if American government was truly interested in protecting children, they would do something about the gun violence that is killing them instead of pointing the finger at us as though we are the number one problem of child danger.

Guess what… not all sex offenders are felons… like me my adjudication off guilt was withheld. I did not loose my rights. I buy firearms all the time at dealers; do my background check. My conceal carry license as well I have. Which took 72 days to get approved. So yes convicted felons can’t own guns… not all of us here are “felons”

In reply to Walt. If you are a convicted felons, especially a registrant, how are you legally able to own a gun? I'm for non violence. Doesn't mean that I won't defend myself , but why give sheriff's like Judd, Chitwood, and Staley an easy target.

In reply to Walt. Felons can’t have firearms unless their rights have been restored.

In reply to David V C.

murder is already illegal in this country… Guns are the rights of every American… SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED! They will never be taken away. Simple as that… If you are against firearms then dont buy one. But you have no right to tell anyone if they should own one or not…
