What about Handguns?

And here we go. Uwish, airbags are not optional. They are gov`t mandated. Tell ya what, when the gov`t mandates everyone has to have a handgun, then you can compare gov`t mandates to your supposed right to own and carry a handgun.
Until then, quit making absurd comaprisons, it doesn`t help your argument one bit.
I think Lemmy's boogeyman comparison is absurd, and take away the legality or government mandates from the equation. They are both tools used as a last resort.
It is completely comparable. I don't know of anyone who has been attacked by the boogeyman but I sure know one that was a victim of a home invasion.
I thought you weren't interested in the 1% of cases of crime?
If you knew hundreds of people who'd been victims of a home invasion, then I could understand your POV, but apparently, you're basing your opinion on this topic on the 1%.

you never read that report did you. Your questions and doubts are answered in the report. I leave it to you.
Which report? The Gary Mauser power-point presentation? Yeah, I read it. Not much to it. Some numbers, no attempt to grapple with them. Has more to do with gun registries than CCW. Nope, not good science there.
The most interesting part of my job is doing peer review. A power point presentation on gun registries doesn't translate to a sound argument for CCW laws, IMPO. That conclusion is tenuous at best.

It was a lecture given to the OPP regarding gun crime. Fully reference and it clearly outlines gun laws and it's effect of violent crime.
So, you are now telling me that the OPP are in favour of concealed carry? Why am I laughing?
You are also telling me that now the OPP favours getting rid of firearm laws. Why is my side hurting?
I do believe you that the OPP is in favour of long prison sentences.
A question for the general members of the forum that are police or in law enforcement some way. Do the OPP favour concealed carry and do they favour getting rid of firearms laws? If they are it's the first I have heard of it.
perhaps you should read more carefully, I said it was a lecture GIVEN to the OPP. Nice try though.
Yes, and perhaps I didn't make my point quite as simply as needed. Here it is. Wait for it! If Dr. Gary A Mausers' lecture GIVEN to the OPP is based on such wonderfully precise and succinct arguments, do the OPP now favour CCW and getting rid of firearm laws? Sorry for the misunderstanding. Waiting for your answer.
all you anti-gun guys are ruining this website. I'll bet that canadaka traffic is falling whenever you go on your rants abut it.

Because debate is unhealthy.

I don't support handguns but I'd never accuse YOU of ruining the website for disagreeing with me. I recommend biting down hard on a stick if you're going to toss a temper tantrum.
I think a properly stored handgun in a lock box with a trigger lock, owned by a person that fits in with any working/professional crowd....... you think some street punk with his pants down around his knees yelling " yo! mo fo! I'll cap yer azz!"

Lemmy, of all the people here, you have been the most likely to cast personal comments at people. Sure I've made broadsweeping generalizations that may have insulted or offended you. But you have outright called me a number things including 'idiot'
I am sure you dont see a difference. I do.
So dont preach to me about healthy debate. I dont think some of things you write qualifies as healthy.

Boo fucking hoo.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass... yadda yadda yadda. You know the drill by now.
Dislike the challange of having to justify your point of view to those who disagree, then do everyone a favour and shut up. Otherwise, be prepared to discuss, defend, piss and be pissed on.
I have to justify my opinion to you or anyone else? I dont think so. I like to share my opinion, if you read it and share your opinion that is good enough for me. different strokes for different folks
