At the end of the day what you're ultimately saying is "based on no evidence whatsoever, I want to give up the 2nd most important right in our "bill of rights" to an increasingly totalitarian government on the hopes that the possibility that losing this right MIGHT make us more safe, and that I am unready to admit that guns are the least significant contributor to the dangers of the decayed society I live in"

Regarding "we don't need guns" tell that to a 110lb woman who makes the mistake of existing while simultaneously needing to occasionally (god forbid, REGULARLY) walk home in the dark.

I never said "remove every gun from America"! On the contrary, what I keep repeating is that we need sensible gun laws, and this slavish fantasization of the 2nd amendment (we need automatic weapons in case the army comes for us!) is stopping that.

I have to ask, are you being intentionally dense or are you still honestly thinking that this point needs to be made?

If there was a reduction in bodies of water, there would be a reduction in drowning deaths.

If there was a reduction in guns, there would be a reduction in gun deaths.

This is a logical certainty, it requires no study, and is the exact same thing as 1 + 1 equals 2.

So if the logic is so simple, let's use it to save childrens lives.

I’m far from a gun nut, so I’m sure one of them could clarify, but I believe very very few people in the USA have a license that allows them to posses a fully automatic weapon. It’s either current high ranking military or police that can get this I believe

So you must mean semi-automatic. So if we take that technology away, we go back to single action revolvers like in the Wild West days? Or go further back to powder loading muskets?

It helps to know about guns in and out before deciding which are the most dangerous and why. I certainly don’t so I won’t try

So semi-automatic? So anything that doesn’t use a lever like the old revolvers did?

That’s a hell of a long way backwards in gun tech

Lets start with defunding planned parenthood. That will save way more children lives than more gun control.

Only someone with truly low intelligence could equate a fetus (a bundle of microscopic cells) to a child.

Do. Not. Ever. Speak. of thinking or looking out for kids, in this thread or ever around me again, or so help me I will take up an e-campaign to grief your wiki-ass to dust.

Again, you're an idiot. An gnat is closer to a child than an early-stage fetus: it has far more mass, more cells, more intelligence, etc.

It was your choice.
