I have links! Joy joy!
Right, a 2 page rant about why you must own a gun.
Actually it's about Demand A Plan organization, not reasons to own a gun. Truth be told I don't own any firearms, they're not for me. The reason I'm not for banning them is that I've studied history and know what happens to a populace that's unable to defend itself. Not very pretty. No way or fashion am I trying to convince anyone to purchase a weapon.Quote:

Frappy, just look at Europe. Regulating guns isn't a bad thing as long as your police isn't corrupt
What happens? Sweet FA is all. Populace can easily be armed without giving idiots access to automatic weapons. What do you think you are arming yourself against anyway.Quote:

It's 'freedom' to scare the **** out of people so you can sell them arms at inflated prices :P
The constitution talks about a well regulated militia. It doesn't say trigger happy retards should be allowed to bear arms.Quote:
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; a well armed and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service in person.
That's the constitution written when you could, at best, fire 1 round every 20 seconds right? Even if it said trigger happy retards should be allowed to bear arms its not infallible. Change it.Quote:

Guns = Violence. Violence = Power. The more people with power the better. Give it all to one man or 5 men, or 100, now you have a problem. You can say that words have more power, but only because they can persuade many people to use violence. I submit as evidence all of human and animal history. Violence is the ultimate expression of power. Has been, will always be. Just because your a coward and are afraid of other people having power, or even afraid of yourself doesn't mean you have the right to deny it to others.
Of all things you would ban this, for safety? Madness. Fatty food kills 1000x as many people, lets ban that if we are looking for safety. Next up cigarettes. After that cars and booze, not even only when combined, individually all these things kill ppl in far greater magnitudes /year than guns. Either this is for safety or it isn't. Make up your minds.
Win the war, decide who lives and who dies, write the history. How did you win? What tools did you use? What did the tools do?
Thank the man in the sky I don't live in Canada. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibT5uflsvQs
Government has much bigger things to worry about then gun violence most of the time.
should we compare 1 story of a poor choice by prosecutors to dozens of stories of school shootings in the USA and then try to determine which is worst?Quote:

I would argue that it is pretty impossible to avoid junk food. Its so cheap and tasty.Quote:

I would certainly approve a tax on unhealthy foods and then a tax break for healthy foods. Hard to administer though.
Thats why poor people in US are so fat :D
