Calling a person or an idea now a days is pretty much worthless. The term/accusation has been thrown around so much it is meaningless

seeing as they make up the largest % by race in our population that would make sense.

minorities make up a disproportionate % of food stamp recepients give the % make up of our population.

Typical liberal looking at numbers and not looking at why they are what they are. I bet you cheered when the unemployment rate went down even though it was bc less ppl were looking for work.

Where does she say anything about race? Cavuto is the one who injects race into the conversation. What she does say is that it is a typical Republican tactic of creating a boogie man where there isn't one.

I didn't say that either.
Over the course of the last weeks, I've repeatedly said that most of our nation's gun violence is not due to AWs, but I also think Straw Man has made some really strong points in these threads in support of clip limits. The reason I have rolled my eyes at your constant "address the real problem" mantra (aside from it being insipidly vague) is because very few social problems have one cause. There may be OTHER  issues involved with these spree killings, but none of those issues come down to being the REAL issue.

the real issue is mental illness in 99% of these incidents, addressing mental illness is the solution that will provide tangible results in this arena.

So youre against banning guns, but youre for an AWB?

Would addressing mental illness through allowing those with mental illness to be addressed and even institutionlized not address the problem at the root?

No, all gun violence is not committed by crazy people

Even some of these mass shooting are not done by"text book definition" crazy people
some of them of them are just angry, mean, desperate mother fuckers

Some of them definitely are crazy but you've proposed no actual way to "subtract them" other than vague generalization at best

ahh so now were talking about all gun violence?

the proposed legislation you want is directed at mass killings and you use mass killings to justify it...

addressing mental illness will address the root problem in the vast majority of mass killings, do you disagree?

The article  you linked to about a  proposed UK knife ban was not about mass spree killers. It was about random violence, often perpetrated by teenagers. What "root" do you think needs to be addressed there?

really, so you think that public awareness of the symptoms and treatment options for mental illness wouldnt help increase the number of ppl who get treatment?

you dont think that educating teachers who spend 5 days a week with kids on how to spot mental illness would help the parents address the issue?

you dont think that allowing family members more leeway in commiting ppl with mental illness to treatment facilities would help take those ppl off the street?

LMFAO no....guns thats what we need to address

youre reasoning for wanting mag caps is b/c of mass killings, at least thats your justification for it.

So, instead of rational gun control measures, locking everyone up will cut gun crime to 0?  I mean, it isn't like Lanza was reportedly set off because his mom was considering having him committed. ::) It isn't like Spengler had spent 20 years in jail and stayed under the radar long enough to act out.  ::)  I'm not even going to go into the flaws with the teacher suggestion. Teachers usually have upwards of 20 kids in their classrooms, some have several classes a day. If it gets to the point where a teacher is noticing a kid's mental problems before the parents, how exactly is a teacher supposed to proceed? Aside from a recommendation that the kid see a counselor?

I said it would address the problem at the root, instead of irrational ideas like guns being the problem.

AGAIN WHAT GUN LAWS????? ANSWER THAT QUESTION, Ive heard one...high cap mag bans which we already know dont work......

of course there are flaws b/c nothing we do will eliminate the problem 100%. There are however better ways to go about addressing the issue and gun control laws which DONT ADDRESS THE ROOT PROBLEM and DONT WORK is legislative masturbation.

The teachers often times spend more time with their kids than parents do. They see them interact socially in their peer group alot. Yea seeing a therapist would be a good step in the right direction for addressing the actual problem.

So you agree that blacks are disproportionally to there population numbers, higher recipients of welfare. Good. That said, my reasoning behind it, is that culturally they seem to know no better, that it is a cycle that they are raised to be in. Learning and getting a job is being an Uncle Tom. I don't need a chart to show me that, I've seen it with interactions I've had with black people. I know two guys who say the same thing, who are black, and are embarrassed by it. That said, I think the whites who are poor welfare monkeys, and hate blacks, are just as fucking bad. They have no idea that they are the same in most successful people's eyes as the very groups they despise. I think the whole lot of them are dispicable and should be put on work farms, or put to work on highway projects, so that they may learn a trade. Just my two cents.

The entire bill addresses a problem that doesn't exist.  The woman never said anything about race- she did say that the bill is an attempt to debase and scapegoat welfare recipients, most of whom , not incidentally, are WHITE.

agreed and I simply pointed out that its to be expected that majority of ppl on welfare and food stamps are white b/c white make up the biggest % of race in our population.

I also pointed out that blacks make up a disproportionately larger % of welfare and food stamp receipients compared to their total population %

There are about 20 active gun control threads on the first page. You have a history of posting stats that say the exact opposite of what you think they say and then trying to hide behind an info dump.  I've never heard anyone else claim that states with stricter gun control have 1/3 the homicide rate, so if you actually had a legit stat on that, I'd love to see it. As of right now, I'm positive you completely misunderstood whatever it was you posted (if you actually posted anything.)

"Broader ICC-criteria were associated with 1.42 less homicides per 100,000. Less access to psychiatric inpatient-beds and more poorly rated mental health systems were associated with increases in the homicide rates of 1.08 and 0.26 per 100,000, respectively."

now wouldnt addressing mental illness address the problem at the root?

"While social-economic-demographic-geographic-and-political indicators show the strongest association with homicide rate variation, the results show the importance and potentially preventive utility of broader ICC criteria, increased psychiatric inpatient-bed access, and better performing mental health systems as factors contributing to homicide rate variation."

Your quote from another thread, that I've been asking for data on:
hey you know that states with looser commitment laws have 1/3 the homocide rate as those without?

Your support:

When you read the second quote, do you actually think that actually means these states have 1/3 the homicide rate. As I said, you clearly did not understand what you were quoting.

That quote doesnt say anything about the % it decreases homicides that was simply to show you that stronger mental health attention ACTUALLY ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM!!!!

unlike gun laws which HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO NOT WORK!!!!!!

so do you admit now that my suggestions of stronger mental health laws and more education/awareness will help address the actual problem?

LOL McTones, you claimed that you had stats that showed that states with "looser commitment laws" had 1/3 the homicide rate. I knew that was hogwash and asked you to post a simple link. You could have posted anything you wanted. If those stats exist and you have the link, you can still post them,. But they don't exist.

hahaha that link shows it there champ...

also it shows that addressing mental illness lowers the homocide rate even(even if you want to quibble about the amount)

so do you now agree that addressing mental illness and more education/awareness will address the problem at the root?

answer the question albert...

The link does not show it and four posts above this one you admit that.  ::) 1/3 homicide rate vs. a decrease of 0.26 murders/per 100,000 is not "quibbling". I have said in other threads that American mental health policy could use a lot of improvement, but nothing you've posted has proven that improved policy is a sound alternative to gun control. All you're proven is that you misunderstood what you posted, like I assumed had to be the case.

LOL whats the average rate of murders per 100,000?

"Broader ICC-criteria were associated with 1.42 less homicides per 100,000"

seeing as gun control has been proven time and time again to be ineffective at stopping gun crimes...Id say this is a great alternative.

Seeing as the ppl that commit mass murders in the past have generally been mentally ill to some degree...Id say this is a great alternative.

PS...the .26 was in regards to an increase in gun homocides related to poorly rated mental health systems alone...

Not even... the findings are WEIGHTED, which is why the researcher says the figures are "associated" with certain findings rather than "attributed to". Both McTones and I have already posted that the study calims socio/economic/polital factors are stronger indicators. You can click on the study and see the equation the researcher used.  Simply put, it's not half or 1/3.

LOL my assertion that states with looser commitment laws have 1/3 less gun homocides isnt correct?

really??? LMFAO
so the average is 3.7 and as the study states "Broader ICC-criteria were associated with 1.42 less homicides per 100,000."

3.7 - 1.42 = 2.28

2.28/3.7 = 61.62%

sorry champ...

you can pick and silverline all you want, facts are facts...

so the average is 3.4 and as the study states "Broader ICC-criteria were associated with 1.42 less homicides per 100,000."

3.7 - 1.42 = 2.28

2.28/3.7 = 61.62%

Yes, facts are facts, that study very clearly states that the biggest contributing factors are socio-economic.

no it says that the biggest associated factors...

it also states that those states with broader ICC criteria have 1/3 less gun homocides than average...

It also states that access to mental health and the quality of care help decrease gun homocide rates...

gun control what?

No, it says this:
OLS results indicate that social-economic-demographic-geographic-and-political indicators accounted for 25% of homicide rate variation. Broader ICC-criteria were associated with 1.42 less homicides per 100,000.


It specifically says "accounted" when referring to socio-economic factors and "associated" when referreing to icc-criteria.

Every model in the study uses firearms restrictiveness as a covariate with a negative impact on the murder rate, so I'm not sure why you posted this.

Wow, I can't believe this thread has acually gone on for 4 pages over a non-issue!!!

Classic example of main stream media brainwashing in your face, ye no one is spotting it.

3 little words from a talking suit "Neil, that's racist" and the comprehension of what was actually said goes right out the window by all parties... her point is lost, ...and people start arguing black & white and trotting out the stats to support their own stupid non-arguments.  :o

If this wasn't so pathetic, ...it might have actually been funny.  :'(

Where does she say anything about race? Cavuto is the one who injects race into the conversation. What she does say is that it is a typical Republican tactic of creating a boogie man where there isn't one.

BINGO!!!

So you want to spend more money on mental health and healthcare?

And you always cry the US should cut spending.

Explain.
