Guns are the most effective That is really what this study says when you look at those who make attempts and fail with other methods Thanks for helping me make my point Bill "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

I would not say that about Cruz But it is the case against all the Dems that are running Like the one that had to apologize for saying all lives matter "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

First you write: Now you admit that you have seen the studies that back his statement. And we are still awaiting the cites to the studies YOU claim exist that refute his statement. First off, he made the unsubstantiated claim. HE needs to back his assertion Second, the studies that Bill linked are hard pressed to make the claim of more guns increasing the suicide rates. Guns do make suicide attempts much more successful however. The issue becomes correlation or causation. There are no studies that can show more guns promote a higher rates of suicide. Period. Even though some try to say this is what they thing thier study shows. The following is from National Review “We see a similarly elaborate story internationally. It is often asserted that the ease with which Americans can get hold of a firearm helps to explain their country’s suicide rate. Is this true? Well, it’s difficult to tell. Japan — a country with extremely strict gun-control laws — has twice the suicide rate as the United States, while Cuba and France have suicide rates that are slightly above the American average. Culture matters. On the other hand, more restrictionist nations such as New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Sweden, and Germany do have rates that are slightly — albeit only slightly – lower than America’s. Switzerland, meanwhile, suffers fewer suicides than Britain, even though large swaths of its citizenry are armed with automatic weapons.” http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/396388/complex-question-firearms-and-suicide-rate-charles-c-w-cooke It is more a matter of culture than anything else An article at discovery.com stated the following “Furthermore, a presentation described in the Boston Globe article comparing states with high rates of gun ownership with states of low gun ownership showed the “low-gun” states “had similar rates of depression and suicidal thoughts, as well as similar rates of suicide that did not involve firearms, like hanging and poisoning. But the number of people who died by shooting themselves was almost four times greater in the high-gun states.”” This is like saying that people who get into water are going to get wet The tool is move readily available This statement in no way proves that taking the tool away would lower suicide rates. It only notes that where guns are available they are used. The following states is better than I can “Using a variety of techniques and data we estimate that a 1% increase in the household gun ownership rate leads to a .5 to .9% increase in suicides.* (n.b. slight change in language from earlier version for clarity.) Even if one thinks that suicides don’t cause gun ownership one might imagine that they are correlated due say to a third factor such as social anomie. We have an interesting test of this in the paper. If suicides and gun ownership were being driven by a third factor we would expect gun ownership to be correlated with all suicides not just gun-suicide. What we find, however, is that an increase in gun ownership decrease non-gun suicide. From an economics perspective this makes perfect sense. As gun ownership increases, the cost of gun-suicide falls because guns are easier to access and as the cost of gun-suicide falls there is substitution away from non-gun suicide. Put differently, when gun ownership decreases other methods of suicide increase. Substitution among methods is not perfect, however, so when gun ownership decreases we see a big decrease in gun-suicide and a substantial but less than fully compensating increase in non-gun suicide so a net decrease in the number of suicides. Our econometric results are consistent with the literature on suicide which finds that suicide is often a rash and impulsive decision–most people who try but fail to commit suicide do not recommit at a later date–as a result, small increases in the cost of suicide can dissuade people long enough so that they never do commit suicide.” http://freakonomics.com/2013/11/18/on-suicide-and-guns/ It is not a simple thing to deal with "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Yes. I have seen those too. So there conflicting studies. And I would assume you have seen those studies indicating just the opposite. Which leaves us with our own opinions. That was my point. Again. I will post those when i get off the road Oh. Thanks for providing links "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln -

Not defending Trump. But I am enjoying him saying fuck you to the loony left attackers. On that point I agree with him So Trump complains that McCain labeled his follows as "crazy". How does Trump respond? Acting crazy. The positive side to all this Donald idiocy? He makes the rest of the GOP look like serious candidates. Trump screwed the pooch. Still he gets different treatment that stupid democrats "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Amazing. His numbers are up. In the end Paul, you and your left buddies will treat all Republicans the same. Dems will be given a pass for anything said that is similar. Al Franken comes to mind. Dont wallow to long in your guilt please "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln -

Yes, exactly like mine. So feel free to shut up just like you want me to. Feel free I can come up with a few studies They have been posted here I will when I get off the road Glad you admitted your post was just opinion Even though you did not represent it in that light "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Which studies are those? Until you post those "many studies" then you're just expression your opinion with no backing either. Oh. Just like yours? "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln -

Thank you for being honest. Access to guns makes it easier for suicidal people, especially men, to commit suicide. To all the kneejerkers, I'm not saying soldiers shouldn't have guns, or all soldiers are suicidal. I'm simply pointing out that the suicide rate would likely go up if servicemembers were required to be armed at all times. It's not a value judgement, it is a statement of fact. If you're okay with that as the price for making recruiting centers "harder" targets, then at least be honest about it. I personally don't think arming all soldiers in garrison would solve anything, but would create a whole host of other problems. Actually, many studies show that having guns only helps them commit suicide by gun These same studies show that if they did not have access to guns they would still find a way as rates do not drop where access to guns is limited So you assurtion is what is kneejerk as you have NO facts to back you what is clearly your opinion "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

I guess some people support ignorance and pass it off as education... but not surprised at all. Exactly why liberals need to be stopped "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

On another topic I see you chose to ignore the tactic Bill uses That being a preemptive strike to frame anyone who disagrees with some title that they will use to try and stop any debate No different than calling someone bigoted or a racists When in fact the majority of those who use those names and tactics are just projecting It is a very disgusting thing to do "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Thus perfectly demonstrating the truth of post #4. Perfect example that magnifies my point "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Bout time someone started fighting back against the liberaleralizing of our textbooks "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

You were wrong and now you can admit it. Regulation per se, is not bad unless it is abused "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

So says the guy who thinks mercury isn't really a toxin, really? I wil be looking forward to you proving that bsthat's all made up as part of a "liberal agenda" to shut down power plants. Do you still believe the Japanese were poisoning their kids in the 1950s as part of a sinister plot to create a false premise for liberals to use (50 years later) against coal burning power plants? Don And your mercury statement??? You are taking lesson from kallend when it comes to truth now I see In the thread on the EPA and mercury regulation (link) I asked you "Do you think unregulated dumping of mercury and arsenic into the air is "good"? You replied (post 21 of the linked thread): "Regulation and political agendas are two different things Want another example? Look at the waters of the US regulations set for Aug 1 Another abuse of power It is agenda Not science that drives them" Your statement was clear: mercury poisoning is not based on science, it is a political agenda. I gave you the opportunity to clarify your meaning when I asked you (post 31 of that thread): "Are you saying that all the information on the health effects of mercury are bogus, made up by "liberal doctors and scientists" over decades just to one day be able to harass poor innocent power plant companies? All the way back in the 1950s those liberal Japanese fabricated Minamata Diseaseso one day the EPA could use it to advance some political agenda? " At that point you simply stopped responding and started another thread about Hillary Clinton not knowing how to work a fax machine. So we are left with your statement: "It is agenda Not science..." According to your own words and responses you do not believe that mercury is an environmental problem, and you believe that mercury poisoning is a trumped-up cause to further the liberal anti-power-company agenda. Since concern about environmental mercury contamination dates back to the recognition of mercury as the cause of Minamata Disease in the 1950s, you must believe the Japanese as far back as the 1950s were participants in a fraudulent effort to paint mercury as a dangerous environmental contaminant to support a liberal agenda. Don You said dumping and unregulated! That is a political statement because even befor the current regs that is not even close to true Your question (no statement) was pure bs from the get go! You put it in a political stance and I called you on it! So there was nothing to clarify as you based the issues on a false premis! Now your squirming begins Enjoy yourself "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Where the real money is And you try and distract and re-direct the conversation to avoid the truth This one is from 2009. http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/climate_money.pdf And the following link talks about the data and who it is provided by. And people wonder why there are skeptics http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/08/22/how-global-warming-research-is-like-pot-research/ "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
