What's the matter, does the truth offend you? Deal with it or shut the f____ up.

While I would have made the point a little differently than Doug did, here are the USDOJ stats:

Ed, I would say, as this columnist said, that you don't have a problem with guns. So guns, or the lack thereof aren't part of the solution.

You could consider the problem of single parent, welfare supported, absent male role model families. You might think about poor educational outcomes. You may want to think about high unemployment. You should consider the politics of racial divide in America. But blaming guns is just barking up the wrong tree.

I'm not sure I have solutions for the problems I just named. But I do know they are real problems and they bear serious consideration by Americans, rather than glibly imagining an inanimate object is the cause of the tragedy of violence in America today.

You know Ed, if you really want to solve a problem, in this case the problem of gun violence in America, then you really need to start by considering the facts, regardless of how distasteful you may find reality to be. I'm pretty sure old Ed Landers up in Alexandria NH, gunsmithing since he got out of the service in '46, first finds out what's wrong with the gun before he starts fixing it.

Otherwise your solution is most likely to be wrong and will fail. Oh, wait! Your solution IS wrong

oh, ok, now I get it...so if we got rid of all of the poor black folks and all of the poor hispanic folks, then most of our murder problem would be eliminated. and we could close half of our prisons. is that what you are tellin me?

Ed, I didn't say anything about getting rid of anybody. I merely pointed out there are real problems and they need to be considered and adrressed effectively if violence is to be reduced. There are no quick fixes.

In a typical fashion common to those without a sensible argument or position, you respond by inferring something that hasn't been said and yelling "racist"! No wonder there are such problems.

One of the issues I mentioned was the politics of racial division and here we are, being schooled in it by Ed right here on our own board.

Ed does not care about fixing any problems,all he cares about i getting attention-one loo at his "midnight posts" and constant need to get a reply/post made to his deranged ones.

He has NO life, he sells damaged guns many that were torched or ruined by crappy gunsmithing and wants one thing in life. Line his pockets by using deception-poor pics and shady return policy.

when other forum members want to take the board back they will only do so by IGNORING the deranged Ed Good

Sales of heirloom quality ed good clunkers must be in the tank. Perhaps he should practice "truth in advertising"....... replace the pine cones and leaves in his advertisement pictures with dog turds. wink

Dave, I think you and Stan (in the other thread) have this correct. His behavior and comments are designed simply to get responses. And that can only happen when we bite.

I took some time last night to read various threads on different forums pulled up by Google searches that date back to the middle of the last decade. It's the same stuff, again and again. I haven't done this with anyone else but I believe I will be putting Mr Good on the ignore list.

The best way to fight temptation is to remove it.

canvas: interesting that you could go back that far and pull up my history...

it would be even more interesting to be able to do the same for some others here, such as keith, dave k and yeah even you...but alas that is not possible because we dont really know who they are do we? and for that matter, what do we know about you?

have a nice day.
