Controlling Guns Will Cost American Jobs & Hurt The Economy.

1. Not controlling guns will cost American lives and hurt people.

Hmmm, which is worse?

[samir.g]

2. It will certainly hurt job prospects for morticians.

And coffin makers.

[backtoblue]

8. The national funeral directors association

is a big lobby entity that typically donates to Republican candidates because of the chemical industry regulations. There is a non_carcinogenic embalming fluid available but it's "too expensive".

Individual morticians usually are on an underpaid salary while the rich owners make profits.

[Bad Thoughts]

3. It costs $3 billion per year to treat gunshot injuries.

That says nothing about lost wages.

The money savings are there.

4. Arresting crack dealers has the same effect

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Bullshit......

When resturants and bars went smoke free in Minnesota years ago, the same ideology was used. Smokers were told to keep it outside. Nor has the hospitality industry suffered much in my state. I see more people dining out without having to choke on some else's smoke.

6. Is this OP serious?

[TheMastersNemesis]

10. My OP Is About What Other Excuse The GOP/NRA Might Come Up With. I Do Not Believe It.

[HopeAgain]

12. Whew!

I was nervous for a moment that you had been brought over to the dark side. LOL

[TheMastersNemesis]

15. My Only Dark Side Is To See These Idiots Taken Out Of Political Process.

We must get them out of power some how.

[Canoe52]

7. Thats what they said about the horse and buggy industry, the steam locomotive industry,

the camera film industry, the vcr industry, the tv tube industry...

Here’s another argument to support the op’s position-

Where are the jobs going to come from for all the people who would have otherwise died from gun violence?

[smirkymonkey]

9. So will cutting back on healthcare.

That doesn't seem to bother them though.

[Vinca]

11. Which is more important - money or lives?

[TheMastersNemesis]

13. Other Jobs Created By Our Present Course ------

Morticians, grief counselors, prosthetic manufacturers, home health care workers, security officers, gun ranges, gun training, occupational counselors, churches, medical suppliers, security experts, security device makers, ambulance makers, swat team members, pharmaceutical manufacturers (pain pills) and on and on and on.

So if we control gun deaths we cost thousands of American jobs that cannot be outsourced. Maybe that is why the GOP wants everyone armed.

14. Some analysis might be a little helpful.

I simply disagree with you on face value. How many people are in prison, not working or paying taxes, because of gun crimes? How many people end up in the hospital with gunshot wounds and the county, state or feds pay the tab? What impact will it have on the home defense industry? How many tax payers are eliminated from the pool because they are shot dead each year? How many of those who live through shootings are on SSDI?


I don't see where you have made an argument.

[TheMastersNemesis]

16. I Am Being Facetious With This OP. We Know That The GOP Is Very Good About Coming ------

up with excuses.

[Weed Man]

17. Fine, move out of the United States, insane person.

Guns are NOT needed in the United States. Examples from the UK, Canada, Switzerland and Israel should be followed!

[TheMastersNemesis]

18. Actually I Am With Eliminating Any Military Style Weapon Leaving Only Legit Hunting Guns.

[Weed Man]

19. Here's my proposal... eliminate ALL guns

except for REGULATED milita, as in the military, and on the federal side.

No guns for LEO's.

[TheMastersNemesis]

20. Well, I Could Go Along With That Too.
