Still don't think we need a wall?

On Wednesday morning, police reportedly found a previously deported Mexican illegal alien Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino in a puddle of mud, armed with a rifle, after the suspect reportedly murdered five Americans in Missouri.

Serrano-Vitorino allegedly murdered his first four victims with an AK-47, according to FOX4KC. Nearby schools were also put on lockdown, thanks to one murderous illegal alien who — allegedly — didn’t let deportation deter him from committing more crimes in America.

A news report about an illegal immigrant committing a crime is enough to get a fucking high-security wall built on the border? Should I direct you to Minimalist's gun thread with the caption, "Still don't think we need more gun control laws?"

Perhaps we should just annex Mexico. We could probably get a few more states out of it.

To answer the question in the thread title: Yup.

Working on it.

I'm convinced!

I have an idea: hear me out on this one.

There are about 270 million privately-owned guns in the US.

Let's assume 1) each of these guns weighs approximately 8 lbs (tiny handguns will be balanced out by the occasional bfg) and 2) that the mass is half steel and half aluminum (I know this is wildly imprecise; but stay with me, this is a back-of-the-napkin calculation).

Aluminum is about 170 lbs per cubic foot, and steel is about 480 lbs per cubic foot. This averages out to 325 lbs per cubic foot of gun.

We have 270 million guns, and if each weighs 8 lbs, we have 2,160,000,000 lbs of privately-owned gun in the US. At 325 lbs per cubic foot, this works out to just over 6,646,000 cubic feet of gun. We're not counting ammo, by the way.

The US-Mexico border is 1,954 miles long. The United States Border Patrol has control over 700 of these miles, so we'll only focus on the 1,250 miles they do not have under their control. This may disappoint purists, alas. By now, of course, you see where this is going.

1,250 miles * 5,280 feet per mile = 6,600,000 feet of unsecured US-Mexican border. This means there is almost exactly one cubic foot of gun for every unsecured foot of US-Mexico border.

So, the upshot:

If we melt down all of the privately owned guns in the USA, we can use them to make a US-Mexico border wall of solid metal, 8 feet in height and 1.5 inches thick.

Final conclusion: The US can have its guns, or it can have its wall... but not both.

you can drop the Nobel Peace Prize on the porch out back.

False dichotomy. You failed.

Someone's irony meter is on the fritz.

... Um, dude? If a single anecdotal example of a mass shooting is sufficient for you to massively overreact against an entire class of people, heedless of the statistics or the evidence, then I'd point out that there are plenty of mass shootings in America committed by American citizens, yet you aren't championing a wall around America, to keep Americans out of America. Seems like you're special pleading just so you can get at foreigners.

I'm sure that's real.

What in Breitbart's name even says it's a true story? Could have happened. Could have been something blown out of proportion. That there's only the Breitbart link to go with the story, is telling in itself. Noone else seems to feel the need for reporting. And a mass shooting is juicy enough to make at least some headlines.

You lefties think so small. There's an entire solar system out there.
