Your entire premise is fallacy. Put a loaded magazine and a gun 2 meters apart and in the absence of human intervention, the sun will destroy the Earth before that gun ever self-assembles and fires at another living organism. This can be proven statistically. Guns aren't the problem, people are. Cars, knives, hammers, swords, fists, feet, nail guns, bow and arrow, industrial equipment, gravity, etc. When does a person wake up?
10,000 dead is 10,000 dead, kid no matter how you want to look at it..this is not a war zone...it's neighborhoods, parks, schools, and city streets. Any idiot can grow a plant to make drugs...making a functioning semi auto weapon is a little tougher...but with your extreme grasp of science and statistics I shouldn't have to tell you that...stupid
32,367 die in auto accidents each year so that we can get places quicker than a horse or bicycle can carry us. Cars pollute the environment and contribute to the decimation of natural resources which horses do not. Why not outlaw them? As for war zones...I'm from Detroit. Its pretty much a war zone. Totally wrong. I have clients who allegedly manufacture guns with non serial numbers. This isn't Glock doing it.
No people with guns are the problem....cars are not designed to kill 20 people in a room in under 30 seconds, neither are knifes, swords, fists, feet, nail guns, bows, industrial equipment and or gravity...guns are designed to kill and for nothing else...nice try with that tired old argument though
What difference does it make how the person was killed? Any person could take a car and ride right up on the sidewalk in downtown Chicago, killing dozens instantly. What difference does the design intent make to the dead people?
Does that actually matter? Heroin wasn't designed for a cheap high. It was designed for use in amputations. Cars kill 3x more than guns and hurt the earth. Why? So you can be somewhere quicker? What about the deaths? You HAVE to be somewhere that quickly? You can't take your time? Your need to be somewhere quickly is more important than someone else's life? Please, explain how.
So your clients...mine iron ore, they then melt the ore down and clean it of the impurities to make a high grade steel, they then machine the steel, to create the barrel and press out the other parts, i bet...they buy kits off the internet that some company made.... Like I said to the ignorant car argument that no one seems to be able to answer....cars were not designed to kill 20 kids/people in a few seconds..cars serve another people in this world where guns only serve one purpose...to kill
And yet you have no problem with government agents armed to the teeth ready to enforce the dictates of the political class.
This isn't the middle ages. Fabrication isn't done at the local forge. Your opinion that it is ignorant is based off of you inability to counter the argument of sheer numbers. That's your problem.
There is a simple response for a simple person. Move Megatron to Alaska. Try your ideological nonsense with a hungry polar bear. Let me know how that works out. Even Randy Coutoure couldn't hold off a polar bear for more than 20 seconds. If you want to separate Alaska from San Francisco, let me hear you say it. Formally state that Abraham Lincoln was a nitwit for trying to merge very different cultures into one. I acknowledge that a gun has no purpose in San Francisco, however, San Francisco is an artificial fantasy land constructed from people that ACTUALLY WORK FOR A LIVING.
Okay. . .there goes that old, tired, over-used FALSE EQUIVALENCY of an argument! Is that in the NRA bible that teaches you guys how to "debate your right to own as many guns as . . you can afford to make the gun manufacturers safe. . .from poverty?" But, let's admit it. . .you are correct. If a person doesn't have a gun and REALLY, REALLY is crazy enough to go ahead with a mass murder. . . he will use another deadly tool. .right? Like a knife maybe? Bingo. . .you got it! Did you hear about that mentally ill villager in China who went to the local school, stabbed an old woman in front of the school, went in and stabbed 22 children? Yep. . .just a few days ago. . .perfect example to illustrate what you were saying, right? Except that. . .in this case, NONE Of the children DIED! 9 had to be hospitalized, 2 with more "serious" injuries ( cut ear, I believe) and 7 with light injuries. All the other kids probably needed a bandaid though. .does that count? In the mean time, OUR gun fanatic MURDERED 20 kids and 7 adults. . .26 of them in the space of 2 minutes! Now. . .is that what you met when you said "if you take away one weapon, they will use another if that is what they want to do?" Well. . .yes please. I would much prefer to take my chance with a deranged man brandishing a KNIFE than a gun. . .anyday. . .anyhow! I bet the kids and the kids' parents would have preferred that too! http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/15/world/asia/man-stabs-22-children-in-china.html
So, dear, when did that happen? Who told you it would happen here? Do you REALLY believe that, if any government wanted "to enforce and dictate" to the people in this country, they would not make sure that, for every hand gun the people have, they have two hugely most sophisticated and deadly weapons. . .maybe even some of those "bug drones" that seem to be the new thing in "defense?" Wonder if Alex Jones thought of that?
Absolutely not. People kill each other with other weapons all the time. Especially when they once loved the person, then its definitely a knife or their hands. More intimate that way. Do you ever read the Israeli papers? Wanna know how young oppressed Palestinians without guns manage to kill Israelis? And a suicide bomber killed an entire bus of people last month in Tel Aviv. And 19 men killed 3000 Americans with some airplanes. How bad do you want to kill a lot of people?
The Soviet Union and China used gun control to remove the arms of people and then control them. History says it is possible. Who would fire on American citizens? Our military? I assure my husband would not have shot a US citizen. He would have thought of me, his mother and all the people he loved. You can always call into his program.
You are making an amazingly valid point!! It will be like pulling teeth to get the NRA-bots to admit to the validity of what you pointed out. It's VERY fair to say that a semi-automatic firearm... is NOT like a car, knife, club, screwdriver, hammer or ice pick.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but government agents are already armed to the teeth and already enforce the dictates of the political class...my suggestion.buy more tin foil for your hat
hahaha what.... you somehow brought polar bears, Randy Coutoure, and Abe Lincoln, and San Francisco into this....Sir, I salute you for making that connection hahaha...for real that was funny
Armed agents of the state enforce the dictates of politicians everyday, and people's human rights are violated by those agents and politicians everyday; our prison system is overflowing with slaves to the political class, or haven't you heard? Thomas Jefferson, among others. A strange rhetorical question with no relevance to my argument. Alex Jones is a bit crazy, but I'm sure he's at least aware of the long history of government abuses of power.
I am thinking logically...and I, and the rest of this country are sick of seeing 10,000 dead each and every year
Zoe. . .come on now? You have to reach into the WAR REGIONS to get your arguments about INDIVIDUALS NEEDING GUNS FOR PROTECTION IN AMERICA? OBVIOUSLY all crimes wouldn't disappear if all guns disappeared! After all, Cain killed Abel a long time before guns were invented, right? But. . .once again. . .you didn't look at the graph I provided twice already! Or maybe you did. . .and that is why you chose to open that thread about "foreigners minding their own business and not comparing OUR US culture with theirs. .especially not our Sacro-Saint Gun fetish culture!" Well. . .If that's all you got from the graph. . .and you didn't see any relevance to the HUGE descrepancy between America's crime rate (with and without guns) and ALL the other developed countries (even those who have a higher . . although never has high as the US. . .number of guns in circulation, like Finland and Switzerland) have a crime rate per 100 inhabitants about HALF OR LESS of the US. Did you see that? I guess you didn't like it! You sure avoided commenting on it. . .except maybe in that new thread you started! So. . .I'll try one more time! Here it is for all to see! And still, I bet NO ONE will have the guts to even mention it in ANY debate!
