LAWS WONT STOP KILLERS KILLING A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE ARE A BUNCH OF THINGS WE REGULATED BY LAW BECAUSE THEY KILLED A LOT OF PEOPLE AND NONE OF THEM HAVE KILLED PEOPLE IN A LONG TIME AS A RESULT BUT WAIT AM I UNDERMINING MY OWN ARGUMENT HOLY SHIT IM A DUMBASS
I suppose we should ban fertilizer
· We regulate heavily the kind of fertilizer used in bomb making.
as well as cyanide.
· ALSO heavily regulated.
Hmmmm, drunk drivers kill people, but we still have alcohol.
· And we regulate the shit out of drunk driving.
What about the terrorists that drive into a busy city section killing people?
· Cars have myriad other purposes than killing people and you can’t kill 60 people and injure 500+ with a truck in a matter of minutes no matter how fast you’re going.
Maybe we should ban cars and all vehicles.
· See above.

Tired
of responding
to the same brain-dead morons
barfing out the same nothing comments
all over your social feed
about ‘evil’
and gun control
‘not working’?
Feel free to save

Oh bullshit. This dumbass idea that if you can’t stop 100% of killings you shouldn’t bother to try is so vapidly moronic that you should have your social media account suspended just for typing the shit and hitting Return. This is not at all theoretical. The vast majority of other civilized countries in the world make gun control work and they don’t deal with massacres with the same frequency we do. And no, before you jump to the world’s most lunkheaded retort on cue, they haven’t managed to eradicate all killings forever omgz. Yes there will always be evil people in the world looking to perform evil deeds, but making it harder for them to do it should absolutely be our aim and WE ALREADY DO. After OKC we made it harder to get bomb-making materials, after 9⁄11 we made it harder to hijack planes. This shit is only rocket science to lazy, incurious people cowing to the gun lobby and all the goatee dad trucknutz overgrown boys out there who can’t bear to have their stupid hobby (and it is absolutely a hobby) infringed upon in any way.
And for all your cardboard bluster about “evil” realize that you abet that evil every time you post comments like the one you did. This blood is on the hands of every idiot that lacks the imagination or the curiosity to grasp that the world managed to turn just fine before we let the gun lobby run the show. Wasn’t that long ago in fact. But you guys hear a grown up say some stupid shit on TV and think “oh, I’ll just repeat that without thinking” and we are *all* poorer for it.
This is a statement, not a debate. I am not responding to any more of your canned talking point nonsense. Just popped in to tell you that you’re typing stupid shit and should feel bad about it.
