Sure, hunting is a legitimate use, but that still involves the sole purpose of a gun, which is to kill. Nobody in this country needs to hunt to survive, so I don’t see how your desire to engage in a pastime like hunting is worth risking the lives of humans. If your guns were taken away, you’d still be eating I’m…

Wait, are you comparing guns with highly addictive drugs? Are you addicted to guns dude?

I suppose you might stand a better chance if you’re armed versus if you’re not. But of course we’re both guessing since the situation has never arisen. On the other hand, I had a co-worker who was killed by his son earlier this year. They were arguing and his son went and got the “protection” gun from the safe, shot…

Yup, criminals don’t obey the law, you are correct. Are you suggesting that we eliminate all laws, since bad people won’t follow them anyway? Is that your stance?

Please explain what you are saying. Do you believe that you will be able to protect yourself from an oppressive government because you have some guns? Don’t be daft.

Ah, the old “protect my family from an intruder” argument! How many intruders have you shot to protect your family?

You think that not owning a gun would be a punishment? You're a fucking meathead idiot if that's the case. There are, and always will be numerous ways to kill people, and we will never be able to eliminate all of them. But when there is a product that has only one purpose (to kill), there is no reason to allow people…

You have a right to have herpes too.

Yes. Your point is made. I wonder if I'd be able to pull up that many instances of people killed by guns over the past 26 years.

No. But clearly he's not going to provide any examples, so just let it go and move on.

As far as I know, a (consensual) hot Carl is legal in most of the United States. Still disgusting though.

How many fertilizer and diesel oil incidents have there been? I keep forgetting.

Would it be safe to assume that although it would not be impossible for people to find guns, that making it significantly more difficult would mean that fewer people would be able to find guns? Is that possible?

Cars get more people to and from work in a day than guns do in a month. What’s your point?

Except that cars have a legitimate purpose that doesn't involve killing. Guns do not.

You're acting like a lunatic

And how many times does that fairytale actually play out versus the number of times an innocent person is killed with a gun?

So why wasn’t the armed police officer that was at the club not able to stop this guy?

Why are you so fond of guns? Why do you need a gun? Is this like a macho thing?

That’s because cars have a legitimate purpose that is not “killing”, whereas guns do not. Most people buying a car do not do so with the intention of one day killing someone. Most people who buy guns, do.
