Have you ever shot a gun?
This is not a valid question for this debate however, I will answer it.
Yes. I have hunted with both rifle and shotgun. I got my varsity letter in high school on the shooting team.
No, I have never used a machine gun to blow up a car or a pile of bowling pins. I've never felt the need.

Re: Criminals will still get guns
OKay Bren,
I tried to be nice. I tried to let you go on with your own discussions. I even went so far as to delete my own needless harsh posts.
But rather than continue whatever discussion you've been having with whomever you've been having it, you CONTINUE to try and drag me into your bullshit little game.
What the hell is wrong with you?
You've chased me from thread to thread because you can't be bothered to use "Google". Finally, after 100 or so posts of you SCREAMING LIKE A MANIAC "How many people are killed by accident? How many people are killed by accident?" I provide you with numbers which you could have EASILY GOTTEN YOURSELF with a little research, or BETTER YET you could have simply READ the other posts IN THIS VERY THREAD.
But apparently "reading" is too much work for you.
Take your shit elsewhere, we're all full up on crazy here.

Re: No Self Defense
Bren, I've been asked to ignore you. Please stop bringing my name up in your discussion with other people.
If you want to debate some issue OTHER than gun lethality feel free to open a new thread.
Edited by Nuggin, : No reason given.

Re: A Parable that Really Happened
You've conviently left out a bunch of facts which relate DIRECTLY to this thread.
Like the fact that Oklahoma City was on the 2 year anniversary of Waco. Not an accident. Or that Waco, while a disasterous government mishap, started as a result of a group trafficing in Illegal Guns.
So it seems that even in your "manure" story, illegal automatic weapons play an important role.

Re: Statistics!
Oh my god, Jon.
How can you be this blind?! Seriously! Can you not read?
A claim that has been made here over and over again is that increased guns = increased violence
The ONLY person claiming this is YOU.
The REST OF US are having a discussion about LETHALITY. (ie Guns are more lethal than knives, Automatic pistols are more lethal than muzzle loaders.)
NO ONE is trying to curtail violence in general - no ones been able to do it in the entire history of the world, why start now.
What we are saying, for the 9,000 time is this:
(Please use a dictionary if there are words you don't understand.)
A violent person with access to highly lethal weapons is going to do more damage than he would if he only had access to less lethal weapons.
You've been arguing against us for 300 posts now and have yet to address that issue.
Why do you think that Cho would have been just as deadly with a pointy stick as he was with double 9mm Glocks?

Re: A Parable that Really Happened

You totally lost me. What does adoption have to do with any of this?

Re: Statistics!
sigh, 300 posts later and you still havent heard a word.
Fine, Jon, you can go on believing that a .22 and a rocket laucher are the same thing. More power to you.
