July 25, 201214 yr It isn't need, it is the slippery slope. Look at gun control in England, Australia, etc. They start with something everyone can get behind, then you are left with....... No one need 650 HP cars either but you can buy them.....32,310 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2011 and there were 12,996 murders in the US. Of those, 8,775 were caused by firearms..... I would be curious to know how many are from legally owned firearms vs illegally owned firearms.
July 25, 201214 yr 2. Why do we have a "need" for most things? Why do we need so many types of coffee? Why do we need coffee? It isn't good for you. Why do we need fast, expensive cars? Why do we need casinos? Why do we need so many types of beer, bourbon, wine? Why do we need to have alcohol at all? I can do this all day....Coffee won't kill a room full of people in under a minute.
July 25, 201214 yr I don't like the idea of the military-style semi-automatics. In reality I can only think of headlines involving them that indicate their destruction was deliberate. As others have pointed out, those with ill intent will get their hands on them no matter what. But hand guns are completely different. Go to 4:20 mark...
July 25, 201214 yr Coffee won't kill a room full of people in under a minute. Neither will a clip, or a gun for that matter. It's not the gun, it's the misuse that's the problem.
July 25, 201214 yr That's 189 deaths over 12 years in eight gun control countries. 2011 deaths by gun fire in the U.S. alone: 8,775 :eek: I'll go over several things here when I get the chance.
July 25, 201214 yr Coffee won't kill a room full of people in under a minute. So I'm guessing that you have never tried the coffee at my workplace?
July 25, 201214 yr Coffee won't kill a room full of people in under a minute. If it was really really really hot coffee and in the hands of a mad man, it could do some damage
July 25, 201214 yr If it was really really really hot coffee and in the hands of a mad man, it could do some damage But why do we even need coffee makers that are capable of producing such really really really hot coffee, when we know that in the wrong hands that coffee could be used to burn people.....:deadhorse:.
July 25, 201214 yr ...and now a good thread has: [ATTACH=CONFIG]37009[/ATTACH] These things tend to run their course, especially when they're topics that people are passionate about.
July 25, 201214 yr At the end of the day, if you want guns and can legally own them, then do it. If you don't like guns or want them in your home, don't. It's a FREE country. I could care less if you don't want guns in your house. Likewise I could care less if you don't like that I own guns. I'm breaking no laws, and I love to shoot as a hobby as well as to practice to maybe someday save MY life or the life of someone who doesn't like guns. I may not agree with your stance on guns, but I'll defend your right to feel that way.

I prefer a more personal approach...I'll punch people in the face with words...After all, the pen is mightier than the sword, and a punch in the face with words is mightier than a bullet.
July 25, 201214 yr Tell that to the guy holding up the Local Thortons in the Ville. It's better to have the skills and tools needed to win a life or death battle, and not need them, than to need them and not have them. RM do you feel cops should no longer carry guns, and go back to the days of carrying just a night stick?
