No, we’re also going to be passing a Constitutional amendment to restore all rights to our citizens who have been convicted of cannabis-only “crimes” (including expungement).
There’s another in the works but I don’t know if it’s up this year or not yet, but it’s to restore all rights and privileges to felons who complete their terms of punishment.
This State’s trend has been gaining rights lately. It’s great stuff. Messy, but great.
The CDC. Lots of ways to get the info.

Yes. A death requires both a person to die and a cause. Take away the person and there is no death. A town with a population of zero has no motor vehicle, firearm or deaths of any cause. It has a death rate of zero.
I’m down to a handgun passed down by a family member and an AR-15 given to me as a gift. I’d love a legal excuse to get rid of the AR-15 so I wouldn’t upset the one who gave it to me since they ask me about it and occasionally ask me to fire it with them. It otherwise remains disassembled and locked away. The handgun is kept in the same manner. I won’t miss it.

Right. Take away the perpetrator and there is no crime nor victim.
Every death is a crime with a perpetrator and victim?

Now, here’s a bit of truth for all you "whu bout other dEvElOped CoUntRIEs?
Mass shootings get the most attention, but they account for tiny fraction of total gun deaths in the U.S., data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show. Among the nation’s 36,252 firearms-related fatalities in 2015, 61% were suicides and most of the rest were ordinary homicides.
Neither of those kinds of deaths actually fell in Australia as a result of the National Firearms Agreement, researchers reported Tuesday in the American Journal of Public Health.
You feel you’re going to take my right because of suicides?

What? Are you trying to prevent death?
Of course. Cancer deaths, infectious disease deaths, motor vehicle deaths, firearm deaths. All of them. If you want to discuss death from “natural causes” that’s a different conversation. And no, firearm death is not “natural causes.”
Yep. I concede I was wrong. Sometimes I forget that last step. @Samm my bad too.

Amazing.
Cancer and infectious diseases are not natural causes? Bats aren’t natural?
What do all your other wants have in common?
Are you trying to not die or live?
If you don’t want them then sell them.
In todays market you’d sell them in about five minutes after listing.

Did you have a background check and 4473 on either? Tax stamp?
I’ll send somebody around to pick them both up today. We’re going to disarm you because somebody did something bad somewhere.
You’re more concerned about your friends feelings than saving the children?

You can’t claim that would have stopped him. It simply would have limited the firearm he used.
That was already pointed out to you earlier. Ignoring that fact won’t change it.

Libs know you’re not OK with it. They know it, but they repeat it anyway. Maybe it’s for internet points. Or something.

Oh my fault- hadn’t thought of the feral pigs.
…
“I’m law abiding, I’ve never done anything, I use it to kill feral pigs. The action of a criminal deprives me of my right,” the senator said.
