Thread: Guns don't kill people

Interesting point ebf.

Yet we discuss issues like this on NON hunting forum with several million people (not fb) and can get an actual interesting dialogue going with several points of view. Same goes for the 3D printing thread, but then the people I speak with there aren't as close minded and are a little (lot) more tech minded, as some are around here. Go figure.

This clipping is just a bad joke of a strawman argument though.

To be fair, it is pitched at roughly the same level of sophistication as the opposing view though....

I come here for a redneck fix.

Do anti gun people really think crime would even romotely decrease if all guns everywhere were banned? people have been killing each other for hundreds of thousands of years and I'm sure if you go through time they take up a very small percentage of human on human fatalities.

People will kill people whether they're using a semi auto 223, a tea spoon, a sharpened tooth brush or just their bare hands nothing can change that.

You don't need to convince us

Preaching to the converted BH

The argument is way too one dimensional though...

On the flip side you can't argue that a semi auto rifle is not a more effective weapon than a baseball bat. Some of the gun nut fraternity love hauling out the tired old argument that vehicles kill more people envy year. Same argument applies, it is the nut behind the steering wheel.

And last time I checked, soldiers all over the were still being issued with semi auto rifles with high cap mags (not baseball bats or vw beetles), quite simply because it is the most effective individual weapon system the human race has come up with so far... Which would you rather face, a nutcase armed with a flintlock or a nutcase armed with an AR and a couple of high cap mags ?

Not being in that mind set but I guess I'd assume that some ppl would enjoy using the baseball bat far more...due to feel and uh prolonged sound effects. So I dont know which one I'd fear more but at least with a gun it should be pretty quick.

"Do anti gun people really think crime would even romotely decrease if all guns everywhere were banned?" Yes I think they do, but really you are talking of lilly liberals, even jumping out of planes for sport or fun should also be banned....or anything remotely FUN.

Their mind set is quite simple IMHO, they think of themselves as superior and of good taste and therefore deserve to be in charge looking after the rest of us for our own good as we are really naughty children who'd get into trouble or injury ourselves. The fact the rest of us would be so bored with a life in cotton wool that we'd queue to jump under the nearest train is neither here nor there. We'd have to be quick as trains would get banned of course.

For my two cents worth (bloody inflation it used to be a penny's worth back in the day) the title of this thread is an absolute truth.

I am absolutely looking forward to that Neckshot, even if it is a long way off yet.

It's the nut behind the butt.
I leave my firearms in a steel box. A form of solitary confinement in the hope that when they come out, they will kill the first deer they see

It was Minginui but to answer it was an absolute fucking fizzer as they were not roaring. I will be going back down two weekends from now.
