Yes really. A bomb similar to the one used in OKC would likely have produced at least 3-4x as many dead and 10x as many wounded.

Then we agree that banning guns works.

If your intent is to produce more casualties, yeah.

Already proven not true.

What is proven not true? You’ve proven that explosives are less lethal than firearms?

I don’t think so.

That’s pretty rich.

The major number of casualties (not counting disease) in war has been ordnance (explosives) since the mid 1800s. Bombs are far more effective at killing people than bullets.

Which still doesn’t negate the fact that that banning guns works.

Stating it over and over and over does not make it a fact. Heck, you haven’t even identified what “works” refers to. How can that be a fact?

Death and injury by guns. DUH!

So you have no facts … DUH!

mobulis · October 30, 2019, 11:18pm

So you can’t read then. Got it.

Samm · October 30, 2019, 11:23pm

Still waiting for you to post one.

mobulis · October 30, 2019, 11:23pm

Death and injury by guns. There you go.

Samm · October 30, 2019, 11:39pm

That’s not a fact, it simply a statement. You may as well have said death and injury from the flu or from drowning or from old age. The statement means nothing.

Heck, you haven’t even identified what “works” refers to.

Death and injury by guns. There you go.

No it’s what your candidates are running on unabashedly for 2020.

WildRose · October 31, 2019, 4:49am

No it hasn’t. What caliber did Timothy McVeigh use? The 9-11 terrorists? How about the couple that instigated the Bath School Massacre?

WildRose · October 31, 2019, 4:50am

If it did Chicago and DC would have been the safest cities in the country for the last thirty years.

WildRose · October 31, 2019, 4:51am

That isn’t’ a fact it’s poorly parroted meme.

westaussie · October 31, 2019, 5:12am

If you feel the inclination please provide the list of the last 30 bombings in the USA, the years of those bombings and the number of fatalities?

westaussie · October 31, 2019, 5:15am

This forum has been provided with statistics relating to gun related deaths in the USA previously.

westaussie · October 31, 2019, 5:17am

How many deaths in the last 20 years in the USA have occurred per the medium of bombings compared with the medium of guns?

WildRose · October 31, 2019, 5:26am

Utterly irrelevant.

The fact is if you want to generate a mass casualty event the most effective means are explosives and incendiaries.

westaussie · October 31, 2019, 5:35am

And the fact remains that gun deaths in the USA in 2019 are far more problematic than the one that you are trying to articulate.

WildRose · October 31, 2019, 5:38am

“The one” what?

Our unlawful homicide rate has been cut by over half since it peaked in the 90’s.

If the unlawful homicide rate here ever equals the lawful defensive gun use rate I might get a little concerned.

Physics_Hunter · October 31, 2019, 5:39am

You’re not from Chicago!

(Give that a good Sean Connery accent…)

westaussie · October 31, 2019, 5:53am

As I articulated previously you cannot rationalise the fact that gun deaths in the USA in 2019 are problematic compared to your theoretical threat you are espousing.

WildRose · October 31, 2019, 6:01am

Once again proving you don’t understand the subject matter.

It is not a theoretical threat. Numerous studies prove we have upwards of 1.5-3 million lawful DGU’s annualy in the US compared to around 9,000 unlawful homicides committed with a firearm.

This with more than a hundred million lawful firearms owners and more than 350,000,000 lawfully owned civilian firearms.
