So you’re saying someone could commit mass murder with a soccer ball or a screwdriver?
No. Really. Explain to me. A nail bomb, sure. But you can get a gun at the fucking Walmart. Or online. Or at gun shows, like James Holmes did. This is a reactionary killing because someone is different than the person that pulled the trigger.
You’re basically telling me not to blame McDonalds for America’s obesity problem. It’s that same line of “not my problem, it has to be the other guys problem” thinking. “Well gee, gawsh… people can eat what they want” – no. If you put a McDonalds on every street corner more people are going to eat and get fat. Do you get the analogy or do I have to chew it up more and spit it into your mouth for you?
30,000 deaths a year from guns in America. 40% of those are suicides. That’s still roughly 16,000 people a year killed by guns.
Shut the fuck up and come at me with your A game.

32,000 car related deaths a year. Should we stop making cars available, too?

My opinion has been expressed in an appropriate manner. Void of “fuck yous” and slander. Continue on with your anger and tell me all you’d like about my misguided views and lack of intelligence, but I can assure you I will not do the same.

I absolutely agre with you, but I want to encourage this debate. So here goes: How about people who would lump this into an argument against government imposing restrictions of any kind, e.g. the “less government is good government” position?

Amen, Ned. Sure people are the ones pulling the trigger, but this country is willfully putting those guns in their hands. Why on earth do we need semi-automatic/automatic guns on our streets? Or guns outside of shooting ranges?

I’m not disagreeing with what you’re saying, but isn’t it too early to claim what the motive was?

I feel very confident in saying the invention of the gun is the worst thing that has ever happened to human beings. And...

People fail to realize that countries with less liberal gun laws also have less gun related violence. It’s right there on paper, but I suppose ignorance is bliss.
