Comments about ‘KSL temporarily suspends firearms listings on ksl.com’

Yes, lets change the punctuation to make it fit "My interpretation." Denied!

Your analogy about gym clothes is also a very poor comparison.
Not wearing your jock doesn't get the rest of the class killed.

When was the last time someone killed somone with a video game?

and finally when you have to refer to KSL as "liberally mainstream bias" It shows how far to the right you've fallen.

The majority of the sales in the counties with the highest population, who would have thought. The real question is per capita.

I think this is a good idea. Most of the issues with gun control in our country stem from the fact that it's TOO easy for criminals to get them - illegally. Not saying KSL is selling them illegally, but it doesn't seem like there are too many controls in place to make them all legal sales.

When airplanes crashes -- and authorites can't determine the cause -- they ground the fleet worldwide.

Sorry for the temporary inconvience folks....

Flash Back. I too have spent considerable time and effort reading and researching the Federalist papers as well as the Constitutional Conventions and the ratification process of the Constitution, and it is very clear that the Colonists wanted to limit the powers of government and that a key part of limiting the power of government was to allow the common man the freedom to keep and bear arms.

The British monarch tried to disarm the colonists prior to and in the early stages of the Colonists war for independence from Britain, and many of the prominent figures in the ratification process made it clear that citizens must have the right to defend themselves and must have the ability to fight any government which tried to deprive them of their Constitutional liberties and freedoms even if that ended up being the very government which they were creating at the time.

get your guns now folks while you still can as America moves closer and closer to the communist model. Can't wait for the jack booted government thugs to kick your door down and seize your guns by order of comrade Obama. George Orwell was right... just 25 years too soon in his prediction.

re:LVIS

What are the sources for the statistics you cite?

Every stat (from UN sources) I've seen for Japan's homicide rate is significantly below 1/100,000. More like .3-.5/100,000 while the U.S. homicide rate is between 4-5/100,000. The UK's homicide rate had a high of 2.1/100,000 in 2002 with a steady decline since then to 1.2 in 2009.

Who is pedaling unsubstantiated myths?

Sources please.

"Due to recent gun violence, KSL.com is restricting access to guns so that law abiding citizens have less venues to obtain protection from said violence."

If you want to protect people from gun violence, make guns easier to get so that more law-abiding citizens can protect themselves. The correct action to take should have been along the lines of:
"Due to recent gun violence, KSL.com is providing FREE/UNLIMITED listings for the sales of guns so that a greater number of people can have access to them."

Why is it that the most heinous acts of gun violence have been committed in gun-free zones? The answer is that the criminals know where they are safe from a couter-attack and self-defending people.

re: "Truthseeker"--

Japan data: 1996 Demographic Yearbook, United Nations, 1998; US data: FBI Uniform Crime Statistics, 1996

Britain data: "The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S.", Daily Mail, July 3, 2009, citing a joint report of the European Commission and United Nations

You may want to look at more stats. And please, provide more than simply "Every stat I've seen". A bit more concrete, please.

What unsubtantiated myths are you pedaling?

Aren't statistics fun?

re:LVIS

My data, found easily on the internet, came from the UN Office on Drugs and Crimes. It contains data for many countries, multiple years, including Japan in 1996 with a intentional homicide rate of .5.

I have not been able to pull up on the internet the UN 1996/1998 Demographic Yearbook showing Japan's homicide rate. What does come up are multiple pro-gun sites, purportedly quoting from the UN Demographic yearbook. But even those show Japan with a homicide rate of .6/100,000 not the 1/100,000 you claim.

Why stop there

why not also stop

Violent vidio games

Ads for day care centers

editorials advocating that government cut back on social services for the mentally ill

"This being Christmas vacation, children's right to stay home shall not be infringed." Everybody understands what that means, right? So now read the second amendment and tell me what it means, given that we have a standing army and a militia is not necessary.

"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."
