  1. The flaw in your argument is that you seem to think the presence of guns is singularly causual to higher violence. I think you will be hard pressed to provide factual evidence that is the case. Violence is violence regardless if it is perpetrated in the presence of a gun or not. It's kind of like saying if 100 people are killed yearly on blue bicycles, therefore painting all bicycles red will reduce deaths. "More blue bicycles unequivocally equals more blue bicycle deaths." I happen to think that the way popular media expresess their 1st amendment right (just tune into prime time TV, or kids cartoons, or video games) contributes more to violence and a violent society, than people expressing their 2nd amendment right by owning a gun does. But it doesn't mean I'm ready to throw the towel in on the 1st amendment either.
  2. So we would no longer be safer, and would be subjected to higher violent crime rates, but since gun ownership would be lower, then all would be good. Especially since your assumption that lower gun ownership would apply to both law abiding and criminals, cuz you know the criminals are going to hand them over also. Yeah right.
  3. So you only care if a crime is committed with a gun?
  4. South Africa is widely recognized as a "violent" place, and England with it's antigun laws has about a 30% higher violent crime rate.
  5. Worked out for England. Worked out for Australia. Not really. Those places had virtually non-existent gun violence even before they decided to ban guns. Brazil had out-of-control gun violence before they decided to ban them, and they still do. It may have even exacerbated the problem. You're taking a very complex set of issues and dumbing it down to more guns = more violence. Which isn't necessarily true, anyways. More guns = more gun violence. Less guns = less gun violence. Unequivocally true. Knapp, not true. If you care to debate facts, countries with stricter gun ownership and lower gun ownership tend to have HIGHER violent crime rates. Criminals still use guns and/or other weapons to perpetrate crimes on defensless law abiding citizens. Your "Unequivocally true" is just unequivocally your opinion.
  6. Went hog hunting and the guide told us that javelina were overgrown rats and not pigs. Looked it up when I got home. Guide was FOS. Javelina aren't technically pigs, they are in a different family, although they are related to both pigs and hippos. Sounds like a fun hunt though. I've never eaten javelina, and while the wild hogs I've eaten range from great to only just edible, our guide also told us the worst hog was better than any javelina. As I have no personal experience with one, I'm interested if it's any good. Keep us up to date what the sausage tastes like.
  7. It's been reported that he can NOT transfer to another B1G school or Kentucky. As far as I know there is no word on where he is looking. Anynews on where this kid decided to go? Or stay?

  21. The Iowa rivalry seems forced. I just want to beat Iowa the same as every other game, but I really want to beat the tar out of Wisconsin. Don't know why, but seems like a more natural rival.
