[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be OK if all guns went away, but that's not going to happen.  Hunting is a thing, which I get, but everybody else I don't understand.  A lot of people buy guns for protecting their home and family.  I don't really get that.  If I felt that unsafe, I would move.

Anyway, we need strict gun laws, licenses, background checks...etc.  Getting rid of military style assault weapons would also be a step in the right direction.[/quote]

It seems like those of us who don’t want to be shot by a deranged moron have to move our bargaining anchor.

I no longer care about your need to hunt, etc.  No guns, anywhere, for anyone.  Can you imagine if our police were like the ones in the UK and DIDN’T walk around with guns?  It would be like a totally different country.  That’s my aim.[/quote]

The Everly Brothers had a song called “Dream, Dream, Dream.”  That’s about where you are. The idea that firearms are only for hunting is silly. There are millions of defensive uses of firearms a year. And by the way, the British have armed police. They are more than willing to use their guns too, as when they shot a man in the back of the head while holding him face down on the floor of a bus. [/quote]

Nope, it’s not a dream, it’s a goal.  I don’t care about your desire for guns for hunting, but I care even LESS about this BS about “defensive” use of firearms.

Keep going, there are more and more people coming to my position every day.  The children who had to do gun drills in school don’t want guns anywhere near them.  The future does not belong to mindless death and stupidity.  The future is ours.[/quote]

[b]Unreasoning fear [/b]of inanimate objects and fanciful notions that getting rid of them can magically change the human heart are symptoms of a profound mental disorder. [/quote]

It's unreasonable to fear guns?  Are you serious?  Yes, there will also be the mentally ill and violence, but I think the odds of me surviving a knife attack are a lot higher than a gun that can kill dozens of people in seconds.  Guess that's why the police in Uvalde took so long before they went in after the shooter- they had a profound mental disorder because of their unreasonable fear of the shooter's AR-15.[/quote]
