Anyone who posts a topic on a divisive issue and openly states they wont respond to arguments on it is either thoughtless or spineless, or worse, both. Because gathering the opinions of others is such a crime. Don't get so worked up over strangers on the internet. LOL Lokarin posted... Also, to put things in perspective - If there was a Florida shooting TWICE A DAY... You'd save more lives cracking down on drunk driving. I saw a similar argument elsewhere. This logic fails to convince me, in particular, because any mass shooting is too many in my book. chaosbowser posted... From my understanding our previous ban of them had basically no real impact on gun deaths. From my understanding, a gun that can shoot less bullets will kill less people. Common sense. (If you really expect me to believe otherwise, post unbiased statistics. I'll be waiting.)

A law that punishes 100% of the population for the actions of a fraction of a fraction of the population is unjust. Don't be naive.
