So your guns keep you safe?

The point is that it would be an illegal item that people would desire to have, and thus it would be made available one way or another. But again, this is all moot as fuck because it's not going to happen.

Plenty of illegal items that people don't desire. Why is the desire of guns so strong.

Has the 2nd ammendment or whatever the hell it is people keep whinging about made a lot of americans addicted to guns ?

Alcohol prohibition sure didn't work.

Drug prohibition sure isn't working.

But THIS.... this will work, right?

My best friend overdosed on marijuana once, he had a whole five marijuanas and injected two of them directly into his veins. This was after those terrible people looking to destroy our nation made such a terrible substance somewhat legal.

Guns are awful and we should lock away such awful advocates for them such as John Romero, who we all know tried to make us his bitch years ago. He probably was drinking alcohol when he was thinking that, or probably snorted a marijuana or two.

For real all kids need today is church and life jackets, because clearly illegalizing any and all things that could remotely pose a threat to our children by being used in an unsafe and unintelligent manner is exactly what needs to be done. While we're at it lets make sure we ban all video games that show violence because as we all know from multiple cases and very well documented studies, that games that depict simulation of a soldier fighting armed enemies or science fiction heroes battling space creatures for the survival of the human race always undoubtedly leads to school shootings, or at least mall massacres.

Yet of course that is the only wrong media in today's society, not your quarterly released shitty horror film depicting teenagers getting slaughtered, or "romance" novels discussing violent and semi-non-consentual intercourse. No...clearly the only one that is wrong is the one that fifty year old news media execs dont actively use or see.

For real tho, shits crazy. People are going to do awful things with guns regardless especially considering the story of what happened two days ago near Rochester,NY. It's more of our society realizing that there are in fact people whose mental capacities do not warrant the same rights as the general populace. Many people may use guns to hunt, or feel safe to keep a rifle for a worst-case scenario hoping never to have to use it. However it takes an especially fucked up individual to start his house on fire, call the fire in to the fire department and pick off the first responders.

There's no good answer for this situation and as long as we remain delusional there's no real way to completely stop the actions of madmen.

Illegal things make criminals money, banning guns helps this. No one should be so naive as to think the illegality of something can stop it. The problem is sick and fucked up people, usually sodomized by their father from age 3 onwards, kill people. That's the real problem, not guns.

I don't understand why people debate about a ban, because there is about a 0% chance of that happening for a number of reasons.

Urban legends. People who break in, want to steal. They go for empty / vacant houses.
That's why they mostly occur during summer/vacation & day time. They don't want confrontation. They don't want attention. A good security/alarm system is what you want, and good locks for your windows / doors.

If you read the news, you'll find out family slaughters mostly happen when a man in the house goes crazy (elder son, father, grand father) with a gun, hammer, knife. Imo, any good mother should make sure there is no gun around an unstable / depressive husband.

I've also read plenty of accounts where people break into houses, in broad daylight with people at home so the first part of your "argument" is invalid.
