Yeah, because having guns has really protected your precious states rights so far, hasn't it?
I love that it literally makes you seethe that people own guns. -
2015-11-24 at 2:51 AM UTCpoor americans and their obsession with guns. the rest of the world extends you their sympathy.

Seethe? No. Actually the fact that me personally not owning a gun, even in a country where it's fairly common, reduces my chances of being shot significantly makes me chuckle more than anything. -

What, you saw that in some study or something, probably funded by the CDC or NIH?
You leftys would believe anything if it was packaged and presented as if it was 'academic'.
Firearms don't just leap up off the table and shoot people, they are literally inert objects unless manipulated.
In all my years on earth handling firearms, I have never had an accidental discharge, never once. Haven't even come close. If you are careful and responsible, there is nothing to be afraid of.
To be fair, I do know some people that it scares the shit out of me that they have guns, but they are felons and shouldn't have them anyway. This one guy I know traded some pills for a hi-point .45, from a guy who was desperate and sick in withdrawal. Within an hour of acquiring it, he was messing around with it and accidentally fired it, and the round went through his headboard, his bedroom wall and through his living room, while his kids and wife were in the house.
Conversely, I do not know one, even one, legal gun owner who is anything less than responsible and respectful with their weapons.
Legal gun ownership is a good thing.
The problem with firearms is when niggers and felons get ahold of them. -

Yeah, because when research shows that being around guns makes you more likely to be shot by gun, that must obviously be a leftist conspiracy, right?Firearms don't just leap up off the table and shoot people, they are literally inert objects unless manipulated.
Genetically engineered biological weapons don't simply spring into existence nor are they deployed of their own volition. This does not mean they are good things nor that everyone is A-OK to own them.In all my years on earth handling firearms, I have never had an accidental discharge, never once. Haven't even come close. If you are careful and responsible, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Aside from that being an anecdote (with a pretty hilariously obvious survivor bias) do you think everyone who owns a gun is always careful and responsible with them?To be fair, I do know some people that it scares the shit out of me that they have guns, but they are felons and shouldn't have them anyway. This one guy I know traded some pills for a hi-point .45, from a guy who was desperate and sick in withdrawal.

see anecdote/bias comment above -
2015-11-25 at 6:23 AM UTCNature deploys genetically engineered weapons all the time, so yeah that sort of thing just happens sometimes, whereas a weapon is a machine, and they never, ever 'just go off for no reason'. I am just splitting hairs at this point, though, pretty much. Anyways, firearm safety really does reduce the number of accidents, you will never reduce them to zero to make you anti-gun types happy, but people who shouldn't have guns make the rest of us look bad, the ones who are careful. Its sort of the same thing with driving, not everyone is a safe driver but there really isn't anything you can do about that.

2015-11-25 at 3:14 PM UTCIt's more about the guns getting into the wrong hands. If there were no guns at all, people would have to resort to broken off table legs and flowerpots.

2015-12-07 at 10:16 PM UTCLiterally heard an American on the news claiming that the level of freedom in a society is positively related to the amount of gun ownership. Apparently we have no freedom in Australia :(

No freedom and no wisdom either if you're any indication. -
2015-12-09 at 5:07 AM UTCYou have the freedom in australia to basically wander the halls of the continent-wide insane asylum they have built for you, and basically nothing else.

the only riding you do is when youre on all fours and your boyfriend is behind you making 'vroooom vrooooom' noises as he grinds his pelvis against your saggy ass cheeks while using your ear hairs as handle bars

That is a decent weight for your height, depending on your body composition. I hope you tend towards fitness rather than mild obesity. -
2015-12-16 at 3:53 AM UTCMr treacher probably thinks I'm an irresponsible gun owner because of some shit i said on TB but I'm really not, i just did some really stupid shit while i was homeless heh <br> <br> Happens to just about everyone at one point or another...(Dammit now not even the fucking manual line breaks work?)
