And another one

Motor vehicles aren't designed for the sole purpose of killing nor does a person possess them for "home defense".

[GONNAFISTYA]

So you're abandoning serious discussion?

No...I'm actually paraphrasing what some morons in your government have been suggesting....publically....with recording devices active.

I'm of course exaggerating, but the spirit is in the same retarded mindset of bad ideas presented as excuses to have a gun.

Guns aren't designed for the "sole" purpose of killing people and I don't "need" them for home defense.

Well I don't necessarily prescribe to those suggestions and you're not currently conversing with those individuals. If you want to have a reasonable dialog I'm willing to listen. Though I'm sure we're not going to see eye to eye. But if you want to continue the troll I'll understand.

Yet you choose to have them in your house simply because "you can", which as I said before makes it all the more pathetic.

And the nonsensical troll continues. Bye Bye.

[LawL]

My comment makes complete sense actually, that's why you have no rebuttal for it.

[Mogul]

I find the argument that boils down to "FREEDOM!!!!!" to be the most senseless one.

[losCHUNK]

freedom is over rated, it gives idiots a voice

[losCHUNK]

It's ok, I don't need any help in laughing at the mentality of someone who believes they need a "home defense firearm".

Your "need" theory with regards to me is what's comical. I don't "need" a gun. Do you "need" everything you own? I have a gun because I can legally own one. But I realize that concept is foreign to you and wouldn't expect you to understand.

It's not entirely alien though is it ?, my country at least does allow a person to own fire arms (granted, not for self defence or automatic rifles with grenade launchers ), I'm pretty sure most of these lot can possess a firearm through some legal means n all but they chose not too and for good reasons as has been pointed out, but you carry on ramming them fingers in your ears and screaming to yourself as loud as you can then continue to ignore everything everyone says, it just gives the impression of a pig headed ignorant redneck which is why no one takes you seriously.

We all know you're not going to change your mind and neither is your country due to some archaic rule that was developed at a time when America was a frontier nation, so relax, it's just a shame your forefathers had fuck all foresight but with a bit of luck the 10 commandments will be treated like the Magna Carta in a few generations.

How would you feel if you were only allowed to purchase rubber bullets or someshit ?, if the constitution said you have a right to rape people would you ?. Saying you own a gun because you have the right too or because you legally can is not reason, I could shit on the floor because I can, self defence is close but too retarded which has been discussed.

We've had a shooting almost every day in major areas for the last 4 days. Body count I think is 4 or 5 right now. 2 of which were cops that got plugged before they could draw a weapon. Most recent shooting was 2 cars shooting at eachother driving down a main drag of road.

Shits fucking crazy right now. Carrying a weapon makes someone feel safe. And if they do it on the legal, why the fuck not? If a criminal can carry one illegally and get away with DRIVING DOWN A STREET AND SHOOTING UP ANOTHER CAR, why cant I or anyone else carry going through the system?

Protection is not a bad thing. Its just fucking sad any of us have to think (and im some cases, really do need said weapon) we need a weapon to protect themselves. This fucking country. Swear to god.

And its not like I live in fucking compton. Thats the crazy part. Mofos are just straight shooting shit up right now with no regard for anyone.

Not everyone lives on a beach somewhere nice where they dont have to worry about crackheads kicking your front door in for a flat screen. Robberies around here end up with dead people if they are home. We had a close friend come home to people robbing their house, shes now dead. They shot her without any regard for her life. For her flat screen TV and computer. Another neighbor (Keep in mind, In an area where the cheapest house is 250,000 and 4,000 square feet), a few houses down the door was kicked in, They shot the dog, and husband, then stole the TV and nothing else.

Again, Shit is fucking crazy in some places. Theres a place for a gun for home protection. AR-15s arnt it, But A handgun in the night stand isnt exactly a bad thing.

I have no idea why I would even try to get you to understand something like that. But hey, Theres some facts for you. Not everywhere is nice and safe.

[LawL]

Have you ever considered living somewhere else as an alternative to having a gun and living in the utter fucking shithole that you just described?

[diego]

I am shocked how anybody still can believe in his "Rights to bear arms" after this incident. These were little kids, don't you have any empathy?

[Ryoki]

What mrd said.

Understand I have empathy for the situation. The kiddo got extra hugs and spoiled to shit the next few days after things happened. But when is it finally "ok" to talk about gun control and right to bear arms? How long is it until we can actually address the problem?

Have you ever considered living somewhere else as an alternative to having a gun and living in the utter fucking shithole that you just described?

Totally. And its in the works. But until then what do you do? Its not easy to pack up a family and move over night, and sometimes the shithole is where the work is. I get you may not understand that as you apparently live in paradise. But some of us are stuck for a bit. If it was just me, sure. But when its more than me theres other things to consider.

Global warming that has occurred since the 1970s caused over 140 000 excess deaths annually by the year 2004.

I am shocked how anybody can still believe in his "Right to drive cars" after learning this statistic. These were mostly brown people in the developing world whose deaths never made it on to CNN, don't you have any empathy?

[diego]

I am well-educated in driving a car and I got the rights to do so!

You live in Kansas. shut up.

[SOAPboy]

You live in Kansas. shut up.

And? This place has gotten insane in the last 12 months. I dont live in some tiny small town where meth is the only problem. Crime here is out of control and people who actually know me understand how bad its gotten.

Seriously. Its not like some crazy badlands from a war movie. But theres more and more shootings, Break ins that result in home owners being murdered, and kids being raped and left for dead.

Its flat out insane. Its worse than when I lived in central vegas as a kid. I felt safer in the ghetto there than here. But what would you know, you dont fucking live here.

In the last week.

Grocery store shooting, 2 cops dead.
Shooting outside an grade school near the girls work.
Shooting up a main drag near stores between 2 cars

Thats "reported" crime. Not counting single shootings that didnt make news, or what have you. Out of control sir.

A Wentzville man is jailed after allegedly becoming agitated during a barber shop discussion of the Newtown, Conn., shooting and allegedly shooting in the direction of a patron.

Assault, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a weapon charges were filed against 57-year-old Lester Davis of Wentzville following the shooting Tuesday at All Cuts Barber Shop in Wentzville.

A patron made the comment that the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School made him want to kill the suspect. For unknown reasons, police say Davis took the comment as a threat and asked, “You want to murder me?”

Davis then allegedly went to his car, retrieved a pistol and fired three times in the customer’s direction. No one was hurt.

Pffffffffffffft - if the barber shop owner had been packing then that wouldn't have happened

I find the argument that boils down to "FREEDOM!!!!!" to be the most senseless one.

Especially since we arguably have less freedoms than a lot of other countries.

There's different definitions of freedom here too. To some, freedom is freedom from the gov't telling them what to do in some abstract way.

To me, freedom would be not having to worry about bankruptcy or "in-network" coverage if I get sick or have a huge accident. Somehow most other people here think that's the opposite of freedom.
