Good gun control policy in CA

[frankenbeemer]

Woah buddy, I was under the impression this thread was one big joke after OP made stupid comments about hunting.

I'm with you on that. Don't these threads proceed from weak argument to personal insults? Maybe I missed a step.

I wish I could troll like you guys :(

It's not the hunting part that offends me, it's your history of presenting assumptions as fact. That's probably more annoying than offensive, if you wish to be technical. Totally with you on the furry stuff, though. ;)

Of course each person gets paid more. the cost of living in CA is what, double the cost of living in TN? if you adjust for the cost of living, CA probably gets paid less per person than anywhere else.

your original statement didn't say anything about per person, either - and was obviously meant as a sort of blanket statement that CA is some huge welfare state (and is the cause of their gun crime?), when in fact the biggest welfare states are mostly in the south.

I haven't studied CA's SNAP program in depth only a very brief primer on it by a UCSD researcher when I was in San Diego, and in that regard it was used by their presenter as a variable in organ donation rates which CA is lagging behind in. I obviously should have been more specific.

California does in fact pay more in benefits per recipient than any other state in the contiguous 48 states.(These states range from $115.98-$149.05) I left almost in my statement b/c I vaguely remembered HI and AK being higher due to increased food transportation costs.

CA- $149.05

TN- $132.20

Misunderstood? Possibly.
Wrong? Nope.

Your not incorrect either, though I think that all the states on your map including TN and CA have too many people on SNAP.

Just. Stop. You are clueless. Yes, guns are used in crimes.....these guns are stolen 99.9% of the time. Do you think the meat you buy at the store is killed humanely?

99.9%? nope, that's just some shit you made up on the spot.

I'm pretty sure that crafting policy based on the extended range ballistics of killing defenseless animals and other hillbilly past times made sense in the 1860s or wherever it is you live, but in California a lot of guns are used to shoot people and not dinner.

Since you cannot legislate away the reproductive rights of the criminal class, it makes sense to limit their ability to kill and maim other people....in whichever way can be done.

You are wrong.
if you want to change the subject in order to make a point, at least try to be correct.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

People hunt in Cali?

I thought animals had more rights than people there. I guess that's why people are hunting people.

[frankenbeemer]

As you should be. Everyone should just buy your meat at Costco where it's grown for us to eat so you don't have to kill furry critters.

California pays out more in the form of EBT, food Stamps, and WIC than almost any other state. I think that and immigration policy are a big chunk of your crime problem.

You are wrong. California does have a large number of EBT, WIC, etc - but they also have by far the largest population of people.

you might want to go look in the mirror, because it's the states in in the deep south that have the highest percentage of people on government assistance. in fact, 21% of people in Tennessee were participants in SNAP (#2 in the nation), which your lovely GOP representatives voted to defund. Mississippi was actually #1 at 22% (according to the Wall Street Journal), and a bunch of other red states round out the top 10.

Lead is bad for the environment, dick.

And hunting is lame.

Are you kidding me right now?

If you say lead is bad for the environment then I suppose car pollution, litering, slaughter houses, etc are good for it right?!

Yeah it's messed up for the animals, but it's the way the food chain is and it's a tons more healthier than your local super markets food.

I am offended that you think I'm a hunter.

[frankenbeemer]

Cutting their hands off would limit their ability to kill and maim.

Are you in the Taliban?

Just brainstorming in the spirit of your trollish comments;D

No, he's clearly a Nazi though. Only Nazi's like to hunt.

I am offended that you think I'm a hunter.
