Jaded

You support all rights except the one to feel safe in public places.

The supreme Court is busy dismantling abortion rights, they are obviously not a beacon of sanity and justice.

Believe what you want but your little hard-on for gunpowder is costing innocent lives.

Also, get off your high horse. You started your reply literally with a fuck you, it's a bit late to cry about me calling you a snowflake lol

None of those things are remotely comparable to guns lol. Nice try but adults are able to easily spot rhetoric.

I don't understand what the kidney one is about.

Cars are central to our society, it would collapse without it(although I'm completely for phasing them out). Their main use is transport, not killing people.

Everything else you mentioned only affects the person using it and killin isn't their main use. My neighbor can't kill me because he's mad about his job and is eating too much whip cream.

Guns are made to kill. People are using it to kill innocent people. No one needs a gun(except certain professions and I'm clearly not talking about banning it for then). Go back to posting pictures.

What about gun owners who support restrictions and bans? Sorry, I'm over here busy caring about DEAD CHILDREN. I don't give a fuck if you want to keep your happy fun times playing with dangerous weapons as if they were toys. Grow up, this is bigger than your hobby.

It's crazy how many activities are available to us in this modern age that don't involve potential death.

Obviously, I'm not talking about police or the army. I don't care about farmers and hunters, they can learn to trap it, bow it or fish it.

How many innocent people are you willing to cut down so you can have your fun. Put a number on it. Less than 100 school children per year and we get to keep our guns? Sounds gross doesn't it?

Lol, guns aren't an addicting substance thats consumed, you can't make guns easily with veggies and a vat. It isn't comparable to alcohol or the prohibition.

And again, it becomes clear that anyone arguing for other solutions just wants to keep their guns, they don't actually care about the situation or how it's affecting people.

Get a better hobby than aiming a stick at paper targets. It's menial, pathetically simple and is leading to real problems for zero gains except to your ego. GROW UP.

I know it's hard since you have built your personality around it and without guns, everyone becomes stridently aware how uninteresting you are but it's necessary for society so deal with it.

Your snowflake feelings aren't more important than innocent lives, loser

Am I supposed to blame them for the civilian deaths and not the ones dropping bombs on hospitals, refugee camps and escape routes?

The personality part is aimed at people that think having easy distribution of weapons is justified by their choice of hobby(not hunting but gun range).

You can't kill a crowd of people with a bow.

The current ownership restrictions can be used for hunting. Anyone that clearly isn't fit to use it doesn't get to. The difference is it's not sitting in someone's closet where an innocent child, angsty teenager or jealous spouse can just pull it out. If you're in the middle of a psychotic episode, the guy at the counter just won't rent it to you.

You aren't getting real responses because we've heard it all before. They are weak arguments, as if you didn't know the simple difference between a bow and a gun.

So no, it's not complex. Guns are dangerous, they are being misused. The negatives of everyone having access to them outweigh the benefits by a huge amount. Ban them.

I need to specify fuck all gun owners because everytime, one comes out of the woodwork talking about how he likes the hobby and he keeps his gun safe. Well his hobby is leading to unnecessary deaths and he should grow the fuck up. If you want to eat meat without the factory, raise it, bow it, trap it, fish it or go vegan. People don't deserve to die because of some snowflake that only eats wild game or some loser that built his whole personality on aiming a stick.

That being said, there is an easy compromise; no private ownership of guns. You want to have fun shooting clay pigeons, rent the gun at the range. You want to spend time with the boys shooting hogs, rent the gun at the hunting ground. But it's a non starter because that takes away the whole power thing and that's the real reason people are so obsessed with the damn things.

The access isn't as easy at all. It's also the culture though. Nobody buys guns for fun or to show off, they aren't toys, there are barely any gun ranges and you don't bring your kid to it.

You maybe have a gun for hunting, it isn't an assault rifle and you only pull it out when you do go hunting.

Have you ever seen anyone arguing against mental health help? Only one of the two solutions you mentioned has a bunch of idiot fighting against it.

You also can't make mental health illegal overnight. People are born with mental health issues, it's not something they buy at the store or grab from their fathers closet.

Ban guns, ban guns now. Fuck gun culture and fuck all gun owners (even the responsible ones)

I understand your point, but everytime I see someone pointing at mental issues, it just seems to be like they will point at anything except the guns. We can thoroughly take care of the more complicated part of the problem once the easy part has been solved and they are killing childrens with knives instead of bullets.

Less than a dollar per kg! I think that's honestly the most impressive part.

What about the third option, everyone gets to have the power?

I've seen what Marvin Gaye and Conan Doyle's relatives have done with the power. Dump it in the creative commons. Nobody should own the tonalities of a voice anyways, there quickly wouldn't be any left.
