We could ban guns, but what about knives, poisons, acids, and home-made explosives from common household items?


I hear this all the time, but can't think of a mass stabbing or poisoning.

Contrariwise, if things like knives or poison are so deadly, why not use them for self defense?

No one needs 30 guns like that nutjob. No one needs a thousand rounds on hand either.

Nobody needs whiskey.
Nobody needs an abortion.
Nobody needs a second home.

Need has nothing to do with it. Banning things will not make you "safe."

Because they were used in an attack. EB forgot, a Ryder truck was used in the first WTC attack, need to ban those too, just in case.

EB, would you agree?


ROTFL
EB and AZ want to get rid of trucks and keep guns

I'd be happy to see a study of the stats, of the average number of bullets and guns needed in every actual self defense incident in the US. Based on that we could decide just how much ammunition you need to have a nice cushion.

Beyond that I'd like to know what you're up to. And no, you don't need enough for a police standoff for hours.

Why on earth is it your business or anyone else's what someone keeps in their house? Aren't you part of the "KEEP OUT OF MY BEDROOM" crowd?

Maybe you should move to Chicago, where guns are essentially banned. Wouldn't you be safer there?

Whatever we decide with guns it won't get to the root problem of what leads someone to do something as heinous as indiscriminately shooting people like fish in a barrel. I don't know what to say or write, I'm kind of numb to be honest. This doesn't seem like behavior someone would do if depressed or overwhelmed by life, it is so evil and senseless.

Did I say we'd search your house for no reason?

I totally understand it, why you don't
is the puzzle. It must be the Vatican
blinders you wear to keep you from
seeing the real world.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
