Victim disarmament zones

[r00t]

We are the #1 country for freedom when it comes to guns (why you hate freedom?), yet are the 12th for firearm related death, and 14th for homicide.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ted_death_rate

When you punish ME for the actions of OTHER people, you're def a dirty commie. When you try to subvert our glorious Bill of Rights with acts of congress and state laws instead of ratifying a new amendment (which would never happen), you're a lazy hippy. When you're scared of the astronomical odds of getting shot (0.00023% repeating ofc in a lifetime), you're a pussy. When you then vote to disarm yourself and become even more defenseless should you ever be backed into a corner, you're just a moran

Chicago has some of the strictest gun controls laws in the country and the most amount of gun related crimes.

And a Taurus Judge is a Damn fine firearm. For a Taurus...

I want more guns than just my SW 500. Shooting other gun owners along with rednecks could be a good pastime~
I need something with a clip. MOAR ROUNDS!

If you try to disarm the rural area's of the country there will be mass bloodshed. I promise.

You could take away every gun in this country and the only thing it would do is create gun trafficking from the borders and then only our Criminals would be armed.

Indeed I have, and I am aware bad shit happens. That doesn't mean I am going to sit around wasting my time thinking about how I could die at any moment. When you get into a car do you sit there and fret about a drunk driver slamming you? Am I going to blast someone for taking my TV? If someone wants to put a bullet in me aim for the head please. Live your damn life without shit in your pants.

The things white boys in their upper-middle-class neighborhoods say can be so cute sometimes.
As someone who's had their apartment broken into 3 times I take personal offense to this ridiculous statement. Poster needs a reality check.

Plus most homicides are done by people you know fairly well, not some random ass off the street. And to be honest I don't much care to kill someone over my possessions, disappointed as I'd be about losing certain things that are irreplaceable.

Someone already beat me to Chicago

Owning a gun for self-defense to me indicates you have at least thought enough about someone breaking and doing bad things to you to justify spending a few hundred minimum, which would require a level of fear greater than is really needed, for a scenario that usually does not play out the way people envision.

Must be nice to have an easy life where you've never needed to know fear.

I envy you, no troll.

No, the implication of the statement is that someone you know is going be able to kill you without you being on lockdown in your house with your gun at your side. As I posted an article to, only a couple hundred deaths a year from guns are in self-defense, whereas thousands of homicides from aggressors are reported. I dont think lack of guns on the defense side is the reason for this.

I know why you think what you are thinking, but you are wrong, dangerously wrong in fact. I don't blame you personally, just your upper-middle-class upbringing.

Well luckily seat belts cost me nothing, are required by law, and prevent you from killing others in car crashes. A gun is meant for killing, whether it be in defense or not, whereas a seat belt is for preserving life. I hazard to guess that guns rarely prevent the taking of more life than life they take. So comparing seat belts to guns is a stupid angle to argue

Explain this please. I really want to know your line of "reasoning" here.

I think a part of this debate that is missing too is that not all guns are equal. Most people, including myself, don't have a problem if people want to keep a shotgun around for defense. Shotguns can't be concealed and are effective at home defense. They are also more difficult to use to kill massive amounts of people when someone decides to lose their shit. Pistols and assault weapons are the real point of contention, pistols because they are exclusively used to kill people and can be concealed, assault weapons for obvious reasons.

So you're a hypocrite then. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
