So your guns keep you safe?

I think he meant the part where you said I was against the second amendment, bro.

Classic straw man.

@Arclyte...

Going back and reading through your posts proves to me that you're an intelligent person, so here's some clarification on my position:

I'm not anti-gun at all. It's a matter of what guns are available to the general public. In the matter of mass-killings...they CAN be stopped. Australia has proven that. The problem with US gun control laws is that they've been enacted and not enforced. You can't half-ass proper legislation, or you wind up in the predicament we're in.

Will gun-control eliminate gun violence? No. Can it prevent the next mass murder of innocents in the country? Likely, yes. The problem here is that if we do nothing, we change nothing...and things have to change.

Assault rifles and semi-automatic handguns have no place in our current society. Single action handguns and rifles are fine. The Supreme Court upheld our individual right to bear arms, but like any other right it's not absolute. It must be balanced against the harm it can cause. The old argument about free speech and yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is a cliche, but it still serves as a good example in the case up balancing free speech against harmful action, and proves that the right of free speech is not absolute. The same de facto rule applies to the second amendment.

Maybe someday you'll change your mind. Probably not...but maybe. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Death by auto 2000-2010 there were and avg of 40k deaths in auto accidents--ban cars

Death by medecine--This fully referenced report shows the number of people having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million per year. The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections is 20 million per year. The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million per year. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million per year.
The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US.
These are CDC numbers---ban medical procedures

We can go on and on about the things we need to ban or restrict trying to ' protect' everyone, why not just every stay in their homes with police posted at our doors.
We either take on the challenge of living as free responsible individuals or we cower in fear and stay in our homes under the false sense of being protected by mommy govt.

For those who do not like firearms or fear them, don't own them but dont take away or restrict my right to own them for my own protection.
I wouldnt try to have your right to free speech restricted simply because I dont like or agree with what you say
