Leave it to you to start with the insults. It's not my fault your post was unclear. But instead of just answering my simple (and completely justifiable) question, you have to be an ass. Typical.

What is "That" referring to in your post? I'm not sure why you're being so contrary over someone asking for simple clarification? I'm not insulting you, I'm genuinely asking you what part of my post you were referring to as "not a good argument and not mine".

Obviously I read both. Your response is muddled and unclear. You responded to my entire post so I'm not sure which part of it was "not a good argument" and I'm particularly unsure about which part "wasn't [yours]". But rather than clarify you'd prefer to spend 10 posts saying "Go read".

GD, maybe the part where I reiterated your statement?

Yeah, I don't care what you think or believe is unclear. Go read to infinity.

I think maybe you need to go reread the exchange. You didn't "reiterate" anything I said. That's the problem. You just started throwing pronouns around and then when I ask you to clarify (rather civilly I might add) you respond with your typical abrasive nonsense. No worries. From now on I'll just assume you're unable to form a coherent response and move on to people who can.

does this ring a bell? Even after going back, you still miss the most obvious context.
The idea that we shouldn't have a law because someone will break it or find away around it is not a good argument.
Gee, what in the world could "that is not a good argument" refer? It's a giant mystery, totally ambiguous. :roll:

I don't care, bye Felicia

Just quit trying. Their ultimate argument boils down to they really don't care about others deaths. They live in an Ayn Rand world where as long as they feel their needs are met, to hell with everyone else.

I just quit trying. They will argue regardless of whatever facts. When the time comes and the USA votes for an amendment to their gun laws, i know how I'll vote. I'll go dutifully turn in my pistol at a gun buy back and thousands of people will not die every year needlessly. Not making or changing laws because someone may break them is not excuse or argument, but they'll cling to it. It's how they feel and what they do.

1. The statistics are not on your side. WADR, rational thought is not on your side - 43k people died of illegal drug overdoses last year, and you want to liberalize drug laws? Yet, 10k homicides means it's time to start taking people's civil rights away? Sounds like you're the one who doesn't care about the deaths. Excuse me if I have trouble taking you seriously until you reconcile that.

2. Whether your gun harms someone is up to you. But, if you really feel otherwise, why do you still have it? Why do you need to wait for the man to tell you to turn it in?

rather closed minded, black and white thinking, etc.

Snark aside, I knew this is where you were going as soon as you started talking about nuance. Claims of ambiguity and moderation are most always octopus ink excreted from a liberal attempting to hide their position and appear as if they're reasoned when they're really not. You quit because you lost the debate, but aren't going to change your mind because your position is from emotions.

What does a million abortions each year in America say about folks who feel as long as their wants and needs are met, the hell with everyone else. It's their right to kill their children, eh? It's a lifestyle choice, right?

wow, you are in the minority for sure, good luck with your plan for folks not living right next to a police station. FYI, a firearm has never ever ever ever killed or injured anyone or anything. The human operating the instrument sure has, so are you banning pipes also, the bitch couple in kali had enough bombs to level their entire neighborhood?

Yes, we all know that gun deaths went up in the 70s/80s, mirroring the crime rates. What that tells you us that the baseline for gun deaths, has a floor of 4.5 or so, and that fluctuations have to do with crime rate, and not anything to do with gun laws, or regulations.

The automobile death rate has been trending down for 75 years, with a jump in the '60s, followed by a steady decline. And the decrease has almost everything to do with laws and regulations.

I'm not sure what point you think I'm picking at, other than that bringing up automobile deaths (which you have done many times) and comparing them to gun deaths, is ludicrous. In general, I value your opinion, but in this case, you should just stop making comparisons of cars and guns. It's really, really stupid.

Actually, it's not a stupid comparison. It's made only to illustrate the stupidity of banning guns, or assault knives in the name of 'saving just one life'. No, one life is not equal to the 2nd Amendment. For that matter, 10's of thousands of lives aren't worth shredding our Constitution over. In fact, many thousands have shed their blood in the name of those freedoms.

Its funny how the "lets ban guns so we can save one life" people just ignore the number of lives that have been saved by guns.

Quick question, what instrument was used to stop all of these mass shooters?

Guns give people the ability to protect themselves, and the biggest beneficiaries are people that would otherwise have little to no defense against bullies. People like the elderly and women. But libs don't think about those people. When they think of gun owners, all they can think of are white rednecks running around waving the confederate flag. They truly have a simplistic and infantile understanding of the issue.

I think if Elberto is serious, he should make a Youtube video of him smashing his gun to pieces with a sledgehammer. :mrgreen:
