The God Damned Gun Control Thread

See that's just the point; I'm not arguing. I was merely offering a thought. You have issues man.

Now find a graph that shows how many people die from drunk driving accidents every year.

So your saying alcohol should be forbidden?

Anyhow's that graphic proves it, USA has the majority of the homicides, and the majority of those are done with guns.
Drunk driving is another thing, for another topic, though on that one all countries suffer from it(death cause #1 to the Spanish population are car accidents)
However USA has a clear win between countries in homicides, triple to quadruple the amount of which guns are used near triple the amount from other possible murder weapons

What I'm saying is statisically more people die every year by drunk drivers then they do by gun violence. Yet there's no call to ban alcohol or cars.

Wouldn't the higher homicide rate mean that I need MORE guns and weapons to protect myself?

Only if owning a gun actually makes you safer. No evidence of such has been presented yet.

The problem was that I couldn't figure out what that thought was. If it's a legitimate point, I want to know it. Instead you're just saying something cryptic and walking away.

We already found out that alcohol is incredibly hard to get rid of, and cars are a necessary part of the national economy. Guns aren't necessarily either. Although, the goal here is not "ban guns." It's "reduce and eliminate gun murders."

Point taken, but to do that you have to get rid of the criminal element and the measures trying to be taken will not effect that but only restrict the ones who obey the law.

It's actually quite nice to see some agreements on all sides in this debate, might actually be getting somewhere.

Laws only apply to those who abide by them.

What is your goal and how would you achieve it?

Only when Darth Crater gets his NRA welcome kit will I begin to believe we're getting somewhere.

I don't own guns. They are just wrong.
