frknI defended the legality of hunting rifles, not handguns or assault rifles. Read.

And yes, I am well aware they are easy to kill people with.

But to me hunting rifles are along the same line as cars, knives, and bow/arrow arguments made earlier. Yes, they can kill people, however it is not their sole purpose.

Considering 0 people in this thread have seriously endorsed a unilateral ban to firearms, what point are you trying to make?

I'm fairly certain mustard and I have been the most vocal proponents of gun control and neither of us have ever even conjectured (other than myself being sarcastic) that we should just ban guns forever instantly. If you want to own a hunting rifle because that's how you make your living, go ahead. However, you shouldn't pretend that limiting people to buying one gun a month, or mandatory psychological testing, or limiting how many fucking guns someone can own is seriously jeopardizing your way of life.

If you can really think of a solid argument for why duder needs 6 guns, I'd love to hear it.

frknthat's an assault rifle idiot

Because it's been demonstrated that it is so much more difficult to kill 20+ people with a handgun.

Oh

vertoWhat about my post makes it dumb? The fact that you have states willing to break from the union over the 2nd amendment? Or that you have millions of gun owners willing to lose their shit for the same amendment?

They also wanted to secede because Obama was re-elected. How can you even read "millions of gun owners willing to lose their shit for the same amendment" and not see that as a problem? Millions of people NEED guns in America? For what, to defend themselves from the other millions with them I guess.

vertoThat I said America is a fucked up place? Because you and I along with the rest of the world can blatantly see the country we call home is fucked up.

"Stuff is shit, deal with it" A+ logic.

vertoOr the fact I said even if laws got stricter, if you had the money you could do as you please? To add on to that it'll become like the drug trade, In fact it even happens now. How the fuck do you think under age kids get handguns or assault rifles. They steal or they buy them.

Money happens to be quite a barrier for a lot of people that want to do things that require money so I'm not exactly sure how your argument holds up. I mean this is econ 101 that if price goes up, demand goes down. Will there be ways for people to attain guns illegally? Yes, but as Jim Jeffries pointed out yesterday, "The kid was autistic, I doubt he had many connections to the black market."

vertoAmerica fucked up in the first place by saying every citizen is entitled to a gun. The best thing they can do is either say fuck it, or slowly make one ammunition type available to the public. Even then you'll still piss off a shit ton of people.

Once again someone makes an argument while completely ignorant of the circumstances and historical differences under which the 2nd amendment was ratified. How is either option "the best thing", even using language like that betrays bias or at the very least, unwillingness to consider alternatives. You've written off gun control working before ever even considering it.

verto*edit* It looks like your stance is to lower crime rates dealing with guns in the future. To do that mustard, you will have to abolish the 2nd amendment or come up with some bull shit law. And you have to do all that with out upsetting big game states or millions of people.

Who gives a fuck about either big game states or millions of assmad gun owners? There are just as many millions of people that would be upset if their child was shot by "yet another" fucktard with a semi-automatic handgun. You don't have to abolish the 2nd amendment to make firearms less prevalent in society. Though considering what "arms" details nowadays, it might be better to rethink just how necessary it is for people to have a "right" to owning them. Before I even hear shit about, "considering changing the constitution" let's not forget that it had to be amended to abolish slavery.

Also, immediately labeling a law meant to keep excessive amounts of fire arms away from private armories is hardly "bullshit." If duder wants to get upset that the state tells him he can now only own one gun that is on him, I'm sure the rest of society would appreciate maybe dropping the gun homicide total below 11k for a change.

vertoFace it America was a fucked up place to begin with and it's people are just as fucked up. The saying guns don't kill people, people kill people is true. Guns just make it easier.

Wow. I guess we never should have studied medicine either since you're going to die anyway. Let's let private citizens own entire arsenals of automatic weaponry too, because hey, the people are the problem not the guns.

ClandestinePzI find the concept of originalism distasteful and I know a lot of other people do as well, which is I suspect, why you tried to pin that label on me. I am not an originalist, I do not believe the founding fathers to be infallible and I do not even own a gun. I do however think, that people are too eager to dismiss the 2nd amendment as based on outdated reasoning without stopping to consider why the right to bear arms was deemed important in the first place.

I think large parts of their dismissal have to do with things like "historical context", and "actually reading it."

ClandestinePzEven imagining stricter gun control laws had been place for generations up until this point what would have been different? Surely you're not arguing that Adam Lanza would not have developed serious psychological issues and become violent? Would you consider it a win if he had attacked the school with a machete instead of a gun?

Considering multiple people have already spelled out that while gun control could not with certainty have prevented this and that there needs to be something done about the availability of firearms, how about the other mass shootings this year? "Oh but if they want a gun they'll get one", see previous post.

ClandestinePzI agree with you that it is unfortunate that we have a tendency to ignore issues until a tragedy occurs, but It makes me uncomfortable to see how some people rush to exploit the emotional vulnerability and impulsiveness of the public after such tragedies to further their own agendas (even if they think its for a good cause).

This is America so the only opportunity we get to talk about gun control is after yet another lunatic goes wild on innocent bystanders. Considering I live in Chicago which has one of the highest number of gun homicides per year, the news doesn't tend to cover gun control ever and instead runs the usual, "4 men were shot dead today on the south side, but tonight's top story: Is Rahm Emanuel taking away teacher's rights?"

ClandestinePzAs for the hypothetical murder on the streets of Baltimore (yes I agree "The Wire" was a good show) you argue that it is the fault of "the failing American economic system and the War on Drugs". So why then do you place blame for the Newtown massacre on the guns the shooter used and not the factors that led to his mental illness?

I think everyone already stated quite clearly that access to mental health services is also an issue, unfortunately people will actually argue against the gun control issue based on faulty, outdated reasoning.

ClandestinePzI think most people agree with some form of gun control. I think even the most hard core NRA member would admit that you have to draw the line somewhere (you can't have private citizens owning cruise missiles). It is simply a question of where to draw that line and that is a tricky question because owning a gun IS a right (whether or not it should be is what we're debating right now). I think that stricter gun control laws would have an impact on crime, but that that impact would have to be weighed against the loss of freedom entailed.

I would also appreciate if you would not accuse me of condoning homicide.

What you and I call "gun control" are two entirely separate notions of gun control though. NRA members support the form of "strict gun control" that means that you can't buy assault rifles and you have to wait 3 days to buy a gun (which even this is debated against). I said previously that there are people that seriously think that limiting people to buying one gun a month is a serious restriction on their freedom. That's 12 guns a year. What in the fuck does anyone in suburban U.S.A. need 12 different fucking guns for? As clockwork already demonstrated, it's a lot easier to draw that line then you want it to be.

brownymasterMy second post states that somewhere you draw the lethality line. It's like with nukes: no country would ever make privately owning a nuke legal because it crosses the lethality border. Although nukes have much less uses than guns, there is a lethality line, and you have to draw a line around it's other uses, the skill curve to use it to kill people, and it's maximum lethality.

I'm just going to let that one sink in
