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.

Typical. 

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've never said I wanted to ban guns. I have repeatedly said I am in support of certain gun control measures. NEVER have I said that my support is solely in response to spree killers.

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?

yea.........

Addressing mental illness by "subtracting crazy people". Yea... And I didn't say I was for AWB.

Also, if you could post that link or article, that would be great.

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

I already linked it in another thread, either find it or do a google search.

I've offered a few similar in simplicity to Tony

the first and obvious one is that we simply make sure that these crazy people who have access to guns only kill themselves and no one else

problem solved

you're welcome world

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

do you truly not understand that ?

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?
