1. We do limit he kinds of weapons you can own. Fully-automatics are prohibited for example 2. How many accidental shootings do you think there are? 3. Removal of guns will not change homicides. Gangs will still get illegal guns. People determined to get rid of you will just find another way. The President is a fink. |

Sure, can't stop child porn EITHER, so why do anything at all, RIGHT? You for that idea too? Prohibition dealt with addictive substances. Sexually related stuff is difficult too for similar reasons, but we try with things like child porn. Are guns addictive? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Since they're so resourceful, we can stop making it so damned easy for them then. This space for rent |

Child porn is not a constitutional right, guns are. Guns don't hurt people, child porn does. There is no responsible way to use child porn, the majority of guns will be used responsibly The President is a fink. |

Suppose they start pushing their victims out of windows. Would you then call to ban windows? Would you say with modern a/c people don't "need windows?" Then what next? The President is a fink. |

This would be hilarious if it weren't just...sad. I would have been very happy for that boy to have just pushed those kids out the window instead. And any kid who voluntarily jumped out the window before he got to them would have lived as well. This space for rent |

That's a ridiculous example and you know it. I won't debate with someone who compares guns to cars, bikes, and windows. Guns DO kill, they are the tool used by Adam Lanza and thousands of others this year to kill someone. There isn't another weapon that people can readily access that is used to kill as much as guns. |

You are the king of the slippery slope argument, AZ. Look, I agree with you more than I disagree with you. But your debate tactics are shoddy at best. "You think I'm joking." -EvenBob |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | Speaking of the Constitution, I figure the Constitution is either living for all purposes or not. Why not be happy with the guns of our founding fathers? Yes, you can have a 6 hundred lb cannon even, I really don't care about that. (You'll get prosecuted if you blow in your neighbor's walls.) If the Constitution is living we can regulate you to less efficient weopontry that way too. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5105 | I bet [too bad this is in DT and not WoV?] that the assault rifle ban that expired in 2004 [iirc] will be re-instated. So called assault rifles, basically a 'scary-looking weapon ban'. I am OK with the ban, what the hell, if it makes people feel safer. Generally speaking you also cannot go around with machine guns, grenade launchers, grenades, or even a sawed-off shotgun. I also predict we will have more school shootings even if the politicians go further than that.
