I don't mind you dying the way you want, so long as it doesn't mean anyone else has to be involved and you don't plan to take anyone with you.

If the military imposes a police state, you better believe I have intentions on takin' a few people with me.

Ever heard of terrorism?

Yeah, I'll wrap a towel 'round my head too if it comes to that.

What's America about anyway, if you can't live how you want, or even die how you want?

Freedoms should only exist if they don't cause other people harm, and open gun laws cause lots of harm.

You're making it seem like your day to day life would be unliveable without a gun and we both know that's not true

It's not a matter of what would be considered unliveable.

Humans are capable of living in some of the most wretched conditions conceivable, it's more a matter of whether I'd be willing to fight for what I believed in.

But other than places of extreme poverty, guns aren't part of most people's everyday lives. And what convience do guns offer exactly?

which is why murder is a felony.

and with a felony, you can't purchase a gun. you can't even purchase ammo.

Do you know how incredibly easy it is to get your hands on a stolen gun? It takes very little street-smarts. You walk through a poor section of Baltimore and guys are coming out of the woodwork offering to steal for you. Guns, tools, whatever you need, man.

I'm not for banning guns outright (not against it, either). What I am for is punishing people whose guns are stolen and used in crime. Punishing people who steal those guns. Punishing people who buy them. And not little slaps on the wrist, either. I'm sick of gun stores running auctions around back so they can skirt laws. I'm sick of punkass kids getting their hands on these weapons. Things need to change.

I'd run to Canada.

If I couldn't, you better believe I'd Jack Bauer their asses, taking out as many enemies as I could before I went down. But really, in that scenario the country would fall into total chaos and getting my hands on a gun really wouldn't take long, so I wouldn't be fretting not having one to begin with.

i'd just stay in my trailor in the middle of nowhere. they'd probably get lost if they tried to terrorize south dakota.

maybe ppl should talking about this... the media is blowing it over exportion.

why let kids get more ideas and let them do it again? taking are guns away isnt gonna help shit! we wont be free and ppl will just take the time to build bombs if they wanna kill ppl

no. you missed my point completely. i'm not trying to start arguments, either, and to be brief, it's really nice of you to stoop down to the kindergarten level and call names.

i don't need to defend gun control, either. i already have it, and not only that, but gun control will continue to exist where i live.

instead of bashing me, read what i said and actually think about it.

---

I did think about what you said, thats why I pointed out how stupid it was. I never bashed you as a person, I bashed what you said, because it needed bashing. Perhaps you should practice "actually think[ing] about it."

Regardless to whatever you think, you missed my point. And you bashed my post. Maybe I think what you say is stupid, but instead of being a rude, ignorant **** I will argue your point in a polite manner.

I see no further reasons to baffle you about this, so continue to think whatever you want.
