Jakyl25 02/14/18 8:20:52 PM #299:	pjbasis posted... KamikazePotato posted... The logic I'm seeing used is "well it's possible to kill people with other stuff than guns, so why target guns?" Maybe because revising gun laws would make things better? Progress should not be opposed just because it doesn't immediately solve all problems. This obviously presupposes that mass shootings are the only consequence of a society with guns. Or that the existence of guns isn't actively promoting peace where it exists (as many conservatives would point out). Do you just go "bah humbug" to these claims or do you have good reason to believe they are mistaken. Convince me! My personal belief is that anyone (pending background check) should be able to purchase a handgun for protection or a hunting rifle for hunting. My issue is with firearms designed for the battlefield. I see no discernible reason for them to be widely available to civilians --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large <cite>Jakyl25 posted [p:896099828] in Politics C...
