***OFFICIAL GUN CONTROL DEBATE*** (4 Viewers)

Stop ####### collecting guns, you #######ed gun nerds. Collect stamps. Or coins. But the guns? Just ban the ####### things. It's not worth this. Seriously. Stop being hillbillies for 14 ####### minutes and consider the trade off. It's not worth it. Hillbillies abusing the constitution for their right to be completely and totally ####### ######ed.There is no reason any of you civilians need a gun.YWIA
You drink alcohol? Stop drinking alcohol, you freaking drunk. Drink water. Or lemonade. But alcohol? Just banned the freaking stuff. It's not worth this. Seriously. Stop being a fatbutt for 14 minutes and consider the trade off. It's not worth it. Partiers abusing the constitution for their right to a buzz or beer gut.
 
We need an IQ cutoff. I'm convinced. It's the only solution. For things like driving and guns, set an education and intelligence threshold, and let's stop letting the hillbillies run this country. Because this is what happens when they have too much say.
And breeding.
Fine by me.
Stop being so elitist and live in the real world.
Why? If this is the real world, I'd rather have higher standards.
I'm convinced that the fascination with guns and weapons in general is indirectly proportional to the size of the man's penis.Somebody please tell me of the last woman to commit one of these mass murders.
 
So have we come up with a solution? I keep hearing the same arguments over and over again...Well it wasn't the guns that killed those kids, responsible people are ok with guns, USA! USA! USA! love it or leave it!, people should be allowed to shot people who would harm them or their family, responsible people who hunt and want to target practice or a hobby.We are never going to have any real reform. I am starting to agree with Otis. No intelligent person needs a gun.
What if there was an armed guard at that school and he took out this guy?
 
Might want to look at WHY people do these things and not HOW.

Hint: It isn't a gun problem.
:goodposting:
Sure sounds like a gun problem when 20 small children get shot with guns. But yeah, you've got this one solved, Matlock.
Wrong Sherlock. The problem was with a nutjob who decided he wanted to kill a bunch of kids. The method isn't nearly as important.
Totally not important. It would have played out exactly the same way if he had a bucket of water balloons.Thanks Cliff for being so spot on again.

Maybe we just need MORE guns. Think about it. If all of those 5-year-olds were armed, this would have ended way better.

We need to put the hicks on an island out in the ocean and let them pretend they're still living in the 1800's. Only solution. Go shoot each other, who cares at that point.
Oh, sorry, you're right. This guy just thought GUNS! "I can get GUNS! I'm gonna go kill a bunch of kids because GUNS!"
Let me help you here, Cliff.There were two pieces in this puzzle today: a person, and guns.

It's gonna be hard to ban persons. Would make for a really awkward civilization to continue on. But hey, guess what? Guns? As between these two things, I think we could get rid of the guns and still get on alright.

Hope this lesson in logic for dummies helped.

Best,

Oats
Hi Oats,Let me help you out here. Someone ####ed up enough to want to kill a bunch of kids is going to find a way to do it. Not being able to find a gun isn't going to stop him. HTH.

Yours in Christ,

Cliff.
This is a fallacy. You can't just assume that any or all of them would do it/be nearly as successful without the gun. What else are they going to use? How often are people killed by pipe bombs? Is the success rate as high? Someone posted an earlier article about a Chinese Massacre where a guy knifed 22 primary school kids. You know how many died? 0. Guy was subdued by security guards.
Stop it. Stop grounding this discussion in reality. Just stop it. The guns had nothing to do with this.

Law enforcement/security vs. civilian guns are different issues.

While I've never seen the peni in question, I have had this line of thinking validated by a few women after being complimented on my own overwhelming, awe-inspiring slightly above average sized penis. I've actually had the conversation a few times and women seem to be totally on board with the big truck, lots of guns, small penis thing.

Man that is a slippery slope. I bet we will see a lot more armed security/off duty police officers at schools from now on. But, at least it is something to put up on the drawing board.

yeah because there would be no way to get a gun unless you're in law enforcement or security.

They're at a disadvantage because the attacker will always have the element of surprise. You can't protect against this when they have guns.

Attacker would have to know there whereabouts.

This kid was using his mommy's guns. You think this anti-social guy would have just run down the projects and bought himself a couple whistles?
 
29 years old and still waiting for someone to give me a good reason why a civilian needs to own a gun.
Meat for my freezer.
No grocery stores where you live?
Not any that carry free range pheasant, quail, duck, dove, venison, etc.
Trade off's. You'll live. Others won't.
Take care of alcohol first since it impacts more lives and once you knock that problem out you can address guns.

The several guns involved in this incident were registered to the shooter's mom. Not illegally. That's what we're talking about.But yeah, sure, you can get guns other ways. Just like there are a few different ways to get nuclear weapons. We still have an interest in limiting access to those as much as we can.I honestly can't have this conversation anymore. I need to find smart, educated, sensible people to discuss this with. I'll wait till tomorrow or something. In the meantime, you hicks have fun hunting quail for dinner, and fighting off looters and robbers, and playing cowboys and indians in your yards, while little kids get mowed down with deadly weapons.Thanks for being awesome americans. We need more of you guys. You make this country special and great.

Maybe, maybe not. But hey, I'm all for a line of defense between somebody like this and innocents, I'm just not sure a gun walking the halls of an elementary school is a great idea.

Just for clarification...weren't you the guy who drugged up a girl and posted pics of her on the net?

What about the 35,000 other people that shoot and kill someone each year? We can't make any kind of broad decisions based one case out of tens of thousands.

I doubt most of that is free range.Regardless, any of you who partake in alcohol have no standing to take this position.

Why? If this is the real world, I'd rather have higher standards.
We all would but you seem to be ignoring reality.
This is nothing new for Otis.
 
Honest question and maybe I could look it up with ease but I don't care...

1) Are gun laws per state or are there some nationally?

2) What guns are deemed legal vs. illegal?

I come from a hunting family in a hunting state but don't hunt and don't own a gun. I don't think that they will ever be illegal in my lifetime and I am not really sure how I feel about that.

Stop being a fatbutt for 14 minutes and consider the trade off. It's not worth it. Partiers abusing the constitution for their right to a buzz or beer gut.
Nearly more Americans dies in alcohol related car accidents than gun related homicides each year. Factor in the other health related deaths from alcohol, it 2x more deaths than gun related deaths. If we ban guns, alcohol has got to go. It is more dangerous.
 
Can we move past that guns are PART of the equation? The next question is how do you get rid of them? How has making other things illegal worked out in the past? Cocaine is illegal. Have we stopped cocaine from being sold and distributed in our country? How do we accomplish the task of getting the guns out of the criminals hands? Because that's what the goal is, right?

 
Deflection is often what pro gun guys do in these debates.
I can make more of a case for gun sales than I can for alcohol sales.I ran the numbers on DUI deaths today and it came out to 28 a day on average.

Ah, yes. Safer streets always means Hitler's coming.
 
Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. Their violent crime rate is through the roof.
Correlation doesn't imply causation. Cities always have higher crime rates. That whole idea that South Dakota doesn't have gun laws and has no murders while Chicago has strict laws and tons of murders means nothing. So you think that if they had no gun laws, things would be better? I can give you a ton of reasons why gun violence is higher in the cities like higher poverty rate, higher unemployment, less educated, etc. So is it the gun laws or the other stuff which South Dakota also doesn't have? Is it possible Chicago would be even worse without any gun laws? And part of the reason cities suffer is b/c the laws aren't uniform. They can go to South Dakota and get a gun very easily. Yes, there are a ton of illegal guns out there. There are also a ton of guns which are seized. So the whole idea that banning/restricting them now won't do anything is false. That gun sold legally without restriction now is fine but 10 years from now, that will be the same illegal gun used in a crime.

Yup...but Oats will kick back with a cocktail and tell us why guns are so evil yet alcohol is a good thing. While you can laugh at people who plink cans for fun, the reality is that it's less dumb than poisoning your body.For the record, I enjoy a beer or few.

I can make more of a case for gun sales than I can for alcohol sales.I ran the numbers on DUI deaths today and it came out to 28 a day on average.
And if alcohol is banned and I can justify the risk (cost) of getting my hands on some moonshine I'll do it. I'm not defending alcohol, you brought it up, without being instigated, just like most pro gun guys do because they know their reasons for possessing firearms are selfish and not for the good of society. If you want to battle against alcohol then start another thread and battle in there but...given your handle and avatar I'm guessing you won't be doing that.
 
Except citizens can't own grenades. See the irony. You don't have the right to own a grenade. It's the law. That's the same logic a lot of guns should be banned. They have no place in society.
like I wrote before.. just because something is illegal doesnt mean you cant obtain it. A person who wants to kill unsuspecting people will most likely succeed by any means.
Not if the impulse passes while they're in the process of tracking down the means to do it.

My reasons for owning a gun are less selfish than someone needing a drink. We all see things from our own selfish viewpoint.
