Yes I know that was my point. I was responding to some dingbat saying 'well murder is already illegal' dur dur dur Same BS that Ammosexuals bring up all the time. Along with 'then make cars and scissors illegal' freaking idiots |
With you there. 1000%. |
Let’s see … over the past few decades auto regulations have been enacted to improve safety, car seats are continually being improved, setback/fence line requirements exist or else pool owners can be held liable for injuries on their property, etc. but for some reason we throw up our hands when it comes to guns and declare that nothing.absolutely.nothing can be done to make them less deadly. Guns must be special I guess.

oh, yes. It's the same stupid logic... "murder is illegal but it doesn't stop murders..so we don't need more murder laws, right"? Then why bother making murder illegal. Heck, why bother having laws since someone will break the law. We have speeding laws, but most people speed. Why have speeding laws? We have theft laws, but we still have theft. Why have theft laws? We have anti-corruption laws, but look at how many corrupt people there are. So, why bother having corruption law. I mean, why bother having *ANY* law, per that ammosexual's logic. |

Cannot imagine what the Sandy Hook families must be feeling tonight.
Dear God, that's all. |
Latino is not a race. Hispanic is actually considered "white".

Your theory would imply that gun owners care what you think of them. |
here's your problem most of the activists want to ban/outlaw guns. If you went in with more reasonable approaches you might actually get something accomplished. Blame the left wing activists. |
But, I mean, this is their philosophy. They believe government - and therefore any laws - to be illegitimate. They are quite literally radical conservative anarchists who believe that "might makes right." Ever since Barry Goldwater the animating conservative message is that government SHOULD NOT EXIST. Therefore they do everything in their power to undermine government, even the things that benefit our population (like health and safety). |
+1 I just hugged my DC. My kids have dual citizenship with the UK. They have an out, thankfully. |
Unless you're Jewish. Or Muslim. Or Black. |
What an ignorant and unhelpful statement. |
| Rs are perfectly fine with this horror. It’s the cost of doing business. |
But we do have gun laws, and criminals and mentally ill people break them. Keeping guns out of the hands of law abiding, sane citizens will not fix the problem. Crack down on real criminals would be one way to get started. But instead, we're doing the complete opposite. |

Another reason to ban guns -
A country awash in guns kills its citizens by suicide as well as homicide. Gun availability increases suicide fatalities, whereas gun control reduces suicide fatalities: |
