We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

There is no gun problem
Germany has 1.04 gub deaths per capita. The U.S. has 12.2 gun deaths per capita. For Germany, 0.06 of those deaths are homicides, compared to the 4.46 homicides for the United States.
We have 74x a higher gun homicide rate and a 12x higher gun suicide rate. So yeah, we absolutely have a gun problem.

As you've been told numerous times, gun homicide is an irrelevant statistic
To you it is. But for those of us who care about deaths, for those that value human life it is a relevant statistic.
Your values are your own. You cannot dictate to me what my values are.
Of course. All I can do is direct you to the facts. Not force you to accept reality
Only one person in this exchange has presented facts, and it isn't you.
R1. Be civil. Don’t attack people. Attack ideas.
Maybe you should check the modlog before you spew false information.
Please show where I "attacked" anyone.
Is pointing out the facts of the conversation an attack? How are we supposed to have a discussion?
Wasn't Momo the one doing the "attacking?"
Focus on the topic and not the people. Don’t jump in just to make snide remarks about people.
Got it, so Momo is allowed to insult people, but I can't point out his flawed premise.
That sounds dope AF.
Short of slurs, the rules only apply to leftists around here. So don't get your hopes up.
As the other user pointed out, you never presented any facts.
