The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[OldSolduer]

No. That conflates the debate and brings in whatever Trudeau said. This is still just the argument over whether a tube fed bolt action 22LR is the same level of dangerous/deadly as a higher calibre semi-automatic.

At the risk of y'all yelling at me "if it saves just one life, its worth it elbows up" crowd should focus on unsafe things that weigh tons and speed along roads. Or maybe they are the same crowd as the anti gun people.

The real mass murderers in our society are alcohol, drugs, tobacco, shitty food and a lack of fitness.

I agrees with the underlying point you are trying to make. Trying to ban semi-autos and take them away from lawful gun owners makes about as much sense as banning pickup trucks.

But, along the same lines as my current argument and using your metaphor: a person with a pickup truck is more dangerous and can do more damage than a person riding a bicycle...

"Nuh uh! A vehicle is just an inanimate tool unless some one decides to use it dangerously! Someone with a bicycle is just as deadly as someone with a pickup truck!"
(-Fishbone, probably...)

Don't get me started on asshole cyclists.

Me.

The words I have highlighted are the operative words. People are bad, not objects. Ban dangerous and bad people.

Agreed. It should be easier to prevent bad, but more importantly dangerous, people from driving.

Smarten up buckwheat. You don't know me well enough. Stick to the subject rather than poking people in the eye.

Life is dangerous. And none of us get out alive.
