Who doesn't have a problem with bombs? Bomb making is illegal. Lots of people could make lots of bad things if they knew how.
Obviously i'm not saying cancer drugs should be illegal, i'm saying that your argument is that if guns are illegal why not make all things that hurt people illegal. Cars, alcohol, etc. You're abviously trying to illicit a response, but the fact remains that alcohol has been used for medicinal reasons throughout history and are now used to get hammered and have a good time. cars are use for transportation. Guns created to harm people. Gun powder may have been used by the chinese for fireworks, but now it's used to harm people. I'm not against listening to an argument for curbing alcohol, I just wish gun owners were for listening to an argument to curb gun ownership.
well you're just not understanding what I am saying at all. you are ignoring the fact that a gun is created to harm things. That is in fact it's purpose. You can use it to shoot trees or targets. You can even use it to keep overpopulated species in check (which by the way harms those creatures). A gun can be used for protection (even if for good that is harming something). A guns purpose is to harm. I don't think they should be illegal, but I am willing to aknowledge their purpose.
and i'm very happy that you can tell me what kind of person I am. I'm not going to be as assumptive as you and try and tell you who you are.
For your information I am against taxation on things I enjoy, but I'm not going to protest about things that I enjoy being taxed when they're things I don't need. I would like to pay no taxes obviously, but I understand that that isn't reasonable.
I also would prefer if you stopped saying silly things like "is the life of a mexican less than the life of a..." or "do you care about the life of a child more if he's shot...". You're talking outside of both sides of your mouth. You're trying to get an emotion reaction by showing how many children die from alcohol and then you condem me as someone who is ok with their governemtn telling them what they can and can't do. Which is it? do you want to ban alcohol? I guess not. drunk driving is demonized in this country. this country tried to ban alcohol, that made things worse. So this country legalized it and now demonizes drinking and driving. What would you prefer they do? I'd love to hear your idea for curbing child deaths to drunk driving. I hope the argument isn't to legalize crack, meth, heroine and a ton of other drugs like you proposed earlier.
I just wish you'd make up your mind. If it's for sport and shooting targets, then they aren't necessary like cars are and lets open the discussion of what we can restrict. If they are for home protection, then yes their intent is to harm another creature (for good or not).
I don't even know why i'm arguing with someone who is comparing assault rifles to:
Alcohol, fattening foods, Sugar, Tobacco, knives, Baseball bats, dogs, cars, boats, gas, electricity, water, cold air, hot air, lightening, planes, motorcycles, ATV's, plastics, prescription medicine, garage door openers, razor blades, tylenol, bicycles, and about a thousand other things.
