Unlimited "Guns, Fuck Yeah!" Thread

It rather funny that you are advocating a ban on a class of firearm that apparently is statistically involved in a far smaller number of deaths than that of handguns.

He seems to miss the irony of accusing everybody else of "having religion" over these sorts of subjects as he prattles on about all the rights we shouldn't have in the name of THE CHILDREN.

I mean, sorry bro, but I'm not required to give two shits about children and neither is anybody else.

You aren't required as an individual, no, but communities, by their very nature, are, that is, if they want to be healthy, thriving communities.  That isn't religion, that's sociology, public health, and common fucking sense.

Because you have to start somewhere.  Unfortunately that is the nature of public policy, incremental.

Fixed, since that made you sound like a fucking idiot.  It was just an incredibly asinine statement to make.

Touched a nerve, did I?

I mean really, as strong as the gun culture is in this country, the "slippery slope" argument is pure bullshit, when you actually examine it on a practical level. 


And it is a culture that is deep across demographics and political parties.  I'd say there is an impenetrable firewall there.

I'm pretty sure the same things were said about the right to privacy, a decade or so ago.

And now look where we are.

I LOVE YOU! If you were here with me I would give you all the beer in my fridge.

Nah.

I've known you were a statist since the locker search thing at the &DRUGS&DRUGS&DRUGS thread.

Such eloquence.  Does it make you feel more comfortable and happy to be able to put me in a neat little box?


Labels don't concern me much. 


But, honestly, when you make crazy leaps from a few guns off of the market to OMG FASCIST STATE, you sound like the kooks in the NRA.  No one wants to make a fascist state, they just want to have less dead people in schools and movie theaters.

Unless they're smudgy people in foreign schools and theaters, in which case indiscriminately killing everyone on site isn't remotely a fascist thing to do.

This. Like, 1000 times. Or however many children have been killed in their sleep abroad so we can feel Secure. That many times. I mean, Jesus. What normal assholes are aware of and the actual state of kids being murdered every day are...shit man. I just don't give a fuck about this. It's not like anyone is actually doing any of the things being talked about.

Let's get some god damned perspective here. What is the government actually doing? Are we just jerking off here? Where is the god damned bullet riddled beef?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

See, from my observation, the big divide here is that I think there are many here who are arguing from an academic perspective, principle, "slippery slope" arguments, etc.  It's broad level talk based on a theoretical long view.  But it doesn't actually factor in the reality of what's happening right now. 


Christ, an assault weapon ban was enacted in the 90s, and not only have we not fallen into an inescapable, freedomless dystopia, the fucking ban died and wasn't renewed. 


Taking some weapons off the market is not going to rob us of all of our freedoms, fuck, it's not going to rob us of ANY of our freedoms.  All that will change is that it will take you a few more minutes to fill that hay bale in your back yard full of lead.  You can still have a shit load of weapons if you really want. 


But it might just buy our guys in blue those few extra seconds that maybe results in 15 dead kids instead of 20, which has a huge impact for those five families who have empty chairs at their dinner tables right now.

The ban didn't work to reduce gun deaths. Why do you think it would work now? What has changed that makes you think it will work?

That is probably the best thing that could happen. Am I naive in thinking people would be less likely to waltz into a school for any reason they shouldn't at the prospect of being mowed down by a disgruntled math major?
