So many bad things would never have happened if the guns weren't there. Once you start looking at events this way, the path towards a solution becomes obvious: fewer guns = less bad stuff happening. The fact that there are 300,000,000 guns in the US doesn't mean we have to add more.
Without ammunition, a gun is no more useful as a weapon than any other chunk of metal. And ammo has a limited lifetime. It would take decades, but we could, eventually, render most of those 300 million guns useless, if we restricted ammunition purchases (and taxed the bejeezus out of it.)

For every criminal stopped by a civilian&#039;s bullet, how many dozens of family and friends have been killed by these weapons of &quot;protection&quot;? Thousands die every year, jsut so the gun nuts can nurse their Rambo fantasies. It&#039;s insanity on a national scale.
&quot;An armed society is a polite society&quot;
I wonder about this. If I were unarmed and walked up to an armed dude and told him him mother was a syphilitic cunt we can all agree that that&#039;s not very polite. Would he be justified in shooting me?
Hopey is on the TeeVee speaking at a tribute. I am glad he&#039;s our president at this time. Can&#039;t imagine Romney delivering this speech.
The good news is that if the articles I&#039;ve seen are right, and gun ownership has been going down over the last 50 years, we might be on the right path.
Your story is incredible.

There also seems to be a strong belief that guns are needed to defend citizens from their own government.
I&#039;ve said this before: If murder is outlawed then only outlaws will commit murder.

Wow. Well put.
Today we are all cunts.
yeah, but as a libtard whose been fighting the good fights - whatever they are whenever they come up - it&#039;s worth keeping on keeping on.
<i>I suspect that while I cannot think of getting rid of the 300 million, the newly liberated capitol folks will find a way </i>
i&#039;m willing to give them a try.
pleasing.
My husband won&#039;t let me put up a knife rack in the kitchen so that they are not immediately accessible in just such an eventuality.
Hardly seems worthwhile if you can&#039;t throw in an &quot;OH GOD!!&quot; once in a while.
Hopey is on the TeeVee speaking at a tribute. I am glad he&#039;s our president at this time. Can&#039;t imagine Romney delivering this speech.
yeah this works.
cheers.
