Gun control debate (merged)

[evillawyer]

literally none of that is a solution. Just more BS regulations that will only serve to make the problem worsen.
it’s time to address the issues which isn’t the tool. Again you ignore the murders with everything except a firearm.

You ignore that the whole world has the same social issues as the US, but not the guns. It's access to the guns that's the problem.

Wrong .

So you punish the rational?

Pro 2A doesnt mean "pro no consquences of your own actions with a gun". It means we dont want to be punished for a crime we didnt commit, you know the whole innocent until proven guilty thing.

This is a very strong argument. But the reality is that when a weapon is marketed to the general public, some of the buyers will use it to commit mass murder of children and other innocent people. To me, after so many senseless tragedies, my having an AR or AK is not worth that cost. What benefit could possibly make it worth that price? It's not even close.

Guns aren't tools. A screwdriver or ratchet is a tool. Guns are weapons.

Beto O'Rourke says AR-15 owners shouldn't 'be able to keep them'

I think of Beto in the same light as I think of fly. Never wanted but a nuisance that’s always buzzing in your face.

A gun is a tool.
A screwdriver is a deadly weapon

A gun is a tool.
A screwdriver is a deadly weapon

Can be. Difference is a screwdriver is designed to tighten or loosen a screw. A gun is designed to kill.

a gun is designed to deliver a projectile.
Killing is something that can be accomplished with any tool.
England……is currently fighting over knife control. The stupidity never ends

It's designed to kill. Efficiently.

Without access to guns there would be no US.

Wonder how many people have been stabbed to death by a screwdriver and how many pieces of paper have died at the hands of a gun?

Designed to deliver a projectile.
Ammo on the other hand is designed for many different purposes. Hollow points are definitely designed to cause maximum damage

what. No. Guns only kill. That’s it.

Like bean bags, rubber bullets, wax bullets, plastic bullets, etc.

I actually have a 870 loaded with bean bag rounds.

Never said that.

Uh huh

What about skeet shooting

 

[C-south]

Wrong

What part was wrong? There are less than lethal rounds for almost every type of gun. The lethality is up to the person with the tool. Just like someone with a screwdriver can tighten a screw or stab someone in the neck. Maybe we don’t need 12” screwdrivers.

 

[C-south]

What about skeet shooting

I’ve never been skeet shooting but I assume it’s some type of birdshot that probably is less lethal than a slug or 00 buck.

Quoted the wrong post.
My point was more about gun usage as opposed to lethality.
