    Perhaps with some historical basis? When I say "story" I mean "read it in the news". So yes, it has "historical basis".

    Also, most isn't "all", I'm fairly certain those who have used guns to defend themselves would tell you to shut up.



    Um, people like that nut who killed 27 people?...
    O rly? So regular citizens will march to a known dangerous situation with arms and take on a shooter such as today's? Gee, hm, I've NEVER seen that happen. I don't think any mob will EVER do that; vigilante justice in situations like that only further jeopardize kids. You trust militias composed of morons to shoot accurately or plan strategically? The common citizen is NOT SWAT.

    As for your first argument, you missed MINE: The "eh, even if we illegalized it, we're still a buncha stupid ineffective dumb**** Americans so let's just not do anything, anyway" kind of mentality pisses me off. It's faulty logic.

    Yeah, sure, all 50 annual "guns saved my life" folks would surely have such an argument at a convention for victims of gun violence

    Talking to a wall? You're commenting a post about a man who just killed 27 innocent people, I'd call that a criminal you moron.

    Well, since most crime seems to be outdoors and since most states don't allow legal carrying of arms, the defense argument fails again.
    Besides, don't act like nutsos are isolated to America: you Europeans can't even play a soccer game without molotovs being thrown, or rocket launchers shooting at planes or shit like that.

    Lol, ok, fine I'll grant you that. Irony doesn't come across as well through text.

    Like I said, if you don't want a gun, that's fine, no one who has a permit to carry will be upset if ever anything should happen to you, believe me.


    I know this is a difficult concept to grasp for some of you hippies, but you're attempting to remove gun rights from the bad guys. It won't work, you'll never remove them from the people who really shouldn't have them. If you don't want to carry a gun, don't. Simple. But if a guy wants to get a permit to carry and he uses it responsibly, that's none of your business and you have no reasonable argument for why it is if he's not harming any innocent people. The guys out there who do harm others are an entirely different issue. You can say, "The world is safe" all day long, the news says otherwise.

    OK, now I retroactively just made everything I said ironic. You should've deduced that from my future posts.

    It seemed like you were insulting me and assuming that it was directed at me, saying "Talking to a wall" is definitely going to receive a similarly rude response. My opinion is obviously the least popular, what sort of reaction am I supposed to have to "peace and love, you are stupid"?

    I am FAR from a hippie (those dirty, Thoreau-reading know-nothings are the grandfathers to the stupid indie kid of today). The fact is, there is no legitimate reason anyone SHOULD have one. I might have lacked a persuasive argument to move your obstinate mind why we should REVOKE the right, but there is no firm basis on which anyone should HAVE that right.

    Oh, apparently, he was being "ironic"...in ways that certainly don't effectively convey irony. -_-

    I just gave you a reason. Once guns came onto the scene, everything changed. People keep saying, "The world is getting worse". No, weapons got better. The problem is who has them. You will never get them off the streets, ever. People who have a permit to carry and aren't insane feel safer having them. My Dad has a permit to carry, so did my Grandmother after my Grandfather died and she was left alone. If you can't think of a reason to take them, that's all there needs to be said.
