If youre on anti-depressants you shouldnt have a gun. Im okay with that law. But blaming the gun or wanting gun bans is stupid

Right. Fair. I don't think anyone is seriously trying to ban all guns. People would like stricter restrictions on who can have guns, though, which is a good idea.

he killed 17 people with a gun in a matter of minutes. if he had a knife do you think he would have been able to kill that many people, that quickly, before being stopped? You're right, if he was set on killing people he would have found a way but having a gun made it easier for him to do as much damage as possible...hell if he used a knife we might not have had any casualties...i'll take a stab wound over death any day of the week.

Do you think that maybe, just maybe, someone who wanted to kill someone was deterred by murder being illegal?

If the Boston Marathon bombing happened with a legal explosive the dude picked up at Walmart, I'm pretty sure we'd talk about outlawing that.

I'm talking about his argument that you can never blame the weapon. Not necessarily that it completely applies to gun ownership. There are instances in which you can blame simply the legality of owning something is more dangerous than whether or not people are mentally unstable when they have it. I actually support gun ownership. I am just trying to point out the fact that his argument does not always hold Merit.

I would love to hear both side's arguments on this.

If you're not old/mature enough to drink, are you old/mature enough to own a gun?

Should the gun age be raised to 21? Should the alcohol age be lowered to 18?

I mean that is simply not true. The campaign against drunk driving includes shaming and punishing the individuals responsible, but also has an emphasis on systemic changes to our legal and transit systems which could help reduce drunk driving deaths --

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3823314/

Based on the definition proposed by Becker and Posner [37], we classifed these drinking and driving policies into two categories: preventive and ex-postregulations. Preventive regulations were enacted to prevent drinking and driving, including the Beer tax, MLDA, and Open Container Laws, whereas ex-post regulations were enacted to penalize drivers under the influence of alcohol, including the 0.08 BAC limit, ALR, the Safety Belt Law, the Zero Tolerance Law, speed limits, and DUI fines. Although some laws such as the beer tax, speed limits, and the Safety Belt Law were not intended to reduce alcohol-related collisions, numerous studies have observed that these laws had direct and significant effects on alcohol-related fatalities. Specifically, the effects of the beer tax on alcohol-related fatalities were widely examined. For example, the empirical results of Chaloupka and Wechsler [38], Phelps [39], Kenkel [40], Saffer and Grossman [12], and Mann et al. [41] showed a significant negative correlation between the beer tax and alcohol-related fatalities, whereas the empirical results of Sloan and Githens [42], Dee [18], Mast et al. [43], and Young and Likens [36] indicated that the relationship between the beer tax and alcohol-related fatalities was neither significant nor necessarily negatively correlated...

On the other hand, drinking habits and attitudes may not be easily changed in the areas with high alcohol-related fatalities; ex-post regulations are thus important for discouraging drinking people driving on the road. As a result, ex-post regulations are more important in the areas with high fatalities whereas preventive regulations are intended to prevent alcohol abuse and thus decrease alcohol-related fatalities in the areas with low fatalities.


in fact there are movements to systemically change our transit system to stop driving deaths even when they aren't related to alcohol!

http://www.governing.com/topics/transportation-infrastructure/gov-pedestrian-deaths-vision-zero-sweden.html

this talking point always drives me crazy when people say shit like 'cars kill lots of people, why don't we ban them!?' well we do a lot of public policy work related to reducing those deaths you jackass hypothetical person
