Are gun stores responsible for crime? 1. Should gun stores be held responsible for crimes committed with weapons that they have sold? Yes No view results |
|
No, no, no. The federal reserve is guilty because they printed the money that allowed the criminals to buy the guns. If we would just get rid of money, people wouldn't be able to buy guns.

Why don't they ask that Washington Post guy who ragged on guns all the time but then shot the intruder on his property in DC with an unregistered gun?

Voted. The high percentage of "Yes" votes is as depressing as it is unsurprising.

Geez you'd think they'd embarrassed for asking such a stupid questions, but nope liberals stupidity knows no bounds.

The 38% of people that voted yes on that poll are indicative of the situation we find ourselves in as a country.

I wonder if these polls are to get all the gunowners to visit their websites and drive up advertising revenue.
|
|

Yes. Has anyone here seen the movie transformers? If fucking cars can transform into robots, so can gun stores.
|
|
Yes, and car lots should be held responsible for drunk driving.

Hit. Who are the fucking retarded 38% who said yes. Jeez. The same people who would shit their pants if they were required to have a permit for free speech. |

I'll give them this- the poll could be worded better. It should say "...weapons that they have sold LEGALLY?". But then the answer would be TOO obvious, even for gunphobes. 61/39. Thanks, OP. |

Voted.
And I like this response: "Should computer sales stores be held libel for the damage done by hackers and creators of virus?" |

does having a penis make you a rapist?
does having a vagina cause rapes? |

Are car dealerships responsible for crashes?
Are liquor stores responsible for beaten wives? this is the kind of logic...

No shit that really happened? what an effing hypocrite Yes he is a leftist. Carl Rowan. A portion of the Wiki piece on Rowan- Rowan gained public notoriety on June 14, 1988, when he shot a teenage trespasser, Neil Smith, who was on his property illegally. He was charged for firing a gun that he did not legally own. Rowan was arrested and tried. During the trial, he argued that he had the right to use whatever means necessary to protect himself and his family. Critics charged hypocrisy, since Rowan was a strict gun control advocate. In a 1981 column, he advocated "a law that says anyone found in possession of a handgun except a legitimate officer of the law goes to jail—period." In 1985, he called for "A complete and universal federal ban on the sale, manufacture, importation and possession of handguns (except for authorized police and military personnel)." [4][5]
Rowan was tried but the jury was deadlocked, the judge declared a mistrial and he was never retried. In his autobiography, Rowan said he still favors gun control, but admits being vulnerable to a charge of hypocrisy.[6] Rowan died in Washington, D.C. His alma mater, Oberlin College, holds his papers. IIRC, the team was taking a midnight dip in Rowan's pool. |

Like a candy store is responsible for obesity and tooth decay.
Like the Congress is responsible for illegal immigration.

If the twisted logic that gun stores are responsible for crime, then so are liquor stores since many acts of crime are while under the influence. Liquor stores would also, by the same logic, be responsible for alcoholism and spousal abuse. Applying that same twisted logic, car dealerships are responsible for drunk driving and whether the driver is sober or not, automobile accidents. The same may be said of motorcycle dealers. Paper suppliers are responsible for lawsuits and candy shops for tooth decay. Television (electronic appliances stores) are responsible for the decline of reading in this nation. Here's the killer. Supermarkets, grocery stores and ultimately farmers, are responsible for the diabetes and the nation's obesity problem! Ban humans and other animals because they breathe air and foul this planet with carbon dioxide.
Solution? Ban farming. It'll stop obesity and diabetes. Ban paper. It will save the rainforest and cut down on needless lawsuits. Close candy stores or stores that sell candy. It'll cut down on tooth decay. Close down car, motorcycle and motor home dealerships. It will reduce vehicle accidents and drunk driving. Besides, people will be healthier if they walk or take public transit. Ban breathing. It causes carbon. Anyone who breathes air must be taxed out of existence. BTW, I voted. |

Yes, and car dealers and bar owners cause DUI......................................

Should paperboys be liable for the crimes committed by those who have ever read a newspaper they delivered? |

Hit.
And newspapers should be held responsible for crimes that readers commit after articles they've printed induce them to violence. |

Hit it, no 61%
My pencil is responsible for my spelling errors too. |
