Need some help with these anti-gun arguments

[SAnd]

hahahaha... the anti gunners rely on cracked.com !??! what a joke.

Bottom line on every single gun control argument is.. I will give up my guns when there is no more armed robberies, armed massacre, rapes, and so on. Until then, I ll do society a favor by protecting my family and myself.

Why do you limit it to armed crimes? Are you saying that a 100 pound person doesn't need a gun to defend themselves against a 250 pound all muscle a-hole with a knife?

To use an old advertising line- God didn't make man equal, Colt did.

For the Original Poster, or anyone else, here is a link to the FBI statistics on murder weapons-

They are for 2010, the latest they have. Notice that over twice as many people were murdered with knives that rifles.

The table is by state, I had to add them to get the totals.

^^ I ll just carry a bigger knife!!


The point is.. it's impossible to get rid of armed crimes - in fact, the rate is higher in strictly controlled countries.

1. Supporting your argument by citing 'Cracked' holds about as much weight with me as citing 'Wikipedia' on your term papers held with your English teacher.

2. There are approximately 200 million guns in circulation in the US. How many gun crimes are committed in a year? What is the incidence rate? How does that compare to pool deaths? Vehicular accidents? See a pattern here?

3. More people were killed with box razors and fertilizer and diesel fuel then in any mass shooting in the US, ever. How should we regulate purchase or use of these items?

another thread has this article:

the fact is, the police are not there to protect you and your family, and in fact, have no obligation to do so.

As the article says, when seconds count, the police are minutes away. Lefties always argue that the police will protect you--but recently during the power outages in the Northeast some were without 911 service for many hours.

There are bad people in the world that want what you have. They want to do harm to you and your family. Unless you're Steven Seagal and are going to duke it out with everyone that wants to do you in, you'll need a weapon to protect yourself and your family--because nobody else is going to do so.

If that doesn't shut them up, then there's no need to talk to this person further.

Now the discussion has evolved to banning high capacity mags (It took an entire day to get them to stop calling them clips) and "assault weapons" and "machine guns".

They don't seem to understand that LIBERTY is the only f*cking reason I need to own whatever guns I want...

My favorite line is,

" More people have been killed at the hands of their own government in the 20th century, than soldiers have been killed in all of warfare in the 20th century"

Can't argue with that IMHO.....
