Such painfully binary logic. Of course people are still going to break laws and kill me. Does that mean we shouldn't make laws at all? This isn't a black and white issue.

Binary logic? No. It is logic you willfully ignore. We could make all the laws we desire, and some of them will be good laws, but they will not stop some nutcase from picking up a rock and crushing your skull. So should we regulate what types of rocks you can own? Need a license to own a rock? I think not. However, I can bet my point has been wasted, since your mind is made up.

Honestly it sounds like your mind is made up. Whenever anyone has anything to say on this topic gun owners such as your self just imidiatly shut it down with arguments like comparing the deadlyness of a rock compared to a gun. Sigh.

If you're asking whether I'd rather have somebody try to bash my head with a rock, because the gun was illegal, then fuck yes I would. It is far more difficult to rob a bank or shoot up a school with a rock.

Regulating the professional conduct of doctors and lawyers through a medical/bar association will not stop the unethical conduct of some doctors and lawyers, so does that mean we should not make rules governing the conduct of a profession? Crooked physicians are still gonna sling opiates, so why bother, right?

Why can't you people understand that the fact that people break laws isn't an argument against the concept of laws?

The pendulum goes both ways though. Airport security for example.

I don't understand, you mean airport security goes too far? Maybe they do. They aren't great at catching people either.

You've said multiple times in multiple threads that you "hate guns" and that you support universal bans. Get the fuck out of here with your bullshit.

That's the point.

Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither.

Sacrificing liberty for security is the basic founding principle of human civilization and the social contract. We sacrifice certain liberties for certain protections inherent in the social order of civilization. It's one of the underpinnings of the political philosophy of John Locke, upon which our system is based.

Believe it or not, Benjamin Franklin was talking about specific issues regarding taxation and sovereignty on the American frontier.
