I believe I read that the gunman is an Iranian who was granted asylum.

If someone can verify.

inb4 the "Aren't guns banned in Australia" comment.
inb4 someone tries to explain how gun control totally works

In 2011,~16,000 of those were homocide.

In 2010, - ~16,200 of those were homocide.

Australian stats

US Stats

From your link, they were between 11-12,000.  In 2012 gun homicides were dropped to under 9,000.



Ah, my apologies. I was writing up the reply quick and jumping between six tabs in that section.

I'll edit my reply, yet the difference between the two is still EXTREMELY overwhelming.

1. Does this include suicides? Self-defense shootings?
2. Let's see the actual crime rates compared.

There are separate numbers on the links for other gun fatalities like suicides.

Yes, the number has gone down in 2012, but the sheer difference is extremely overwhelming.

OP is butthurt about something. But I'm not sure what.........
He recently confessed his attraction for Icy in the LGBT Skype chat, Icy having standards rejected him.

So he's a little hurt and salty.
You're not even in that chat.

Actually, illegal immigrants get more benefits than legal immigrants. My grandmother had to learn English from watching Sesame Street, yet here's some illegals that get free education and my grandmother got absolutely nothing

Considering your Grandmother likely came here before SCOTUS ruled that education had to be provided to all immigrant children...
Does it matter? She had the strict rule of no Spanish in the household, only English
And how is this at all relevant to immigration policy?
Oh wait, anecdotal claims aren't.
It's not ancedotal as this used to be a common occurrence
Okay, but how is it relevant to modern immigration policy?

Now stop me if I'm wrong, but are you actually trying to imply that the children of immigrants or children who immigrate to the country should be denied education - which is a fundamental human right.

Mr. P, please. You know the United States is above any of that trivial United Nations bullshit. Why should we have to deal with countries who are so beneath us?
The UN is shit

I'll leave you with this. It's a topic for another day

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_United_Nations

A Wikipedia article about criticisms of a global organization.

I'm sure I can find one about the Red Cross too. Doesn't mean they're shit. Come now Kinder, you're a college student. You should know correct sources, and about backing them up with additional sources.

Yes, it does matter. It's like saying we're spoiled for having cars when your great great grandfather had to ride a horse to school.

Time's change, ideals on how we educate change. Just because your Grandmother did it one way does not make it the correct way.
Nice opinion, but I disagree

Why do you disagree?
Because I was raised differently and hold a different set of beliefs than you

Whelp, I see this debate has gone nowhere.

Preventing illegals is no way shape or form the eradication of capitalism, it's the preservation of it

You DO realize that immigrants are necessary for economic growth, correct?

What am I on about? I'm on that if a case is supposedly a concrete and non-repeal-able idea, then DOMA shouldn't be deconstructed and segregation should still exist.

Again, you make zero sense.

Where did I say there were mass executions in America? I said that crime exists in low-income areas which is conducted by gangs and cartel members. Continue to twist my words

No twisting. But as Psy said, if you compare violence in America to violence in Mexico, it's laughable.

Why does any of that matter? Crime is still crime, and it's strong in low-income areas.

Are we really asking why, comparing the differences between mass murder in Mexico and basic American crime here, is a big deal?

And, still waiting on the response to my post.
