I'm a little tired of hearing the same old, "Let those Americans blow each other's heads off" argument, while people in "gunless" (for lack of a better term) societies are still running around stabbing each other, poisoning each other and bludgeoning each other. Fuck, a tool of murder is only a tool of murder in a murderer's hands. Let's not pretend that no one would die if we took away all the guns. Next, we should take away knives too and I don't want to hear any, "but, I need to cut my food."

Heart ^

And when we decide that hands are simply too dangerous... I don't want to hear anyone whining about it.

Let's cut ahead of the removal of penises and fat people and get straight to where this is going:

Brains are too dangerous. They must be removed!

I have no problem with responsible people being allowed to own guns.

It's the huge number of irresponsible people with guns I find disturbing.

I find it disturbing as well. Then again the second amendment isnt the only freedom that can be abused by irrespeonsible people. How about those uber religious assholes who take their sick children to the church instead of the hospital? I am not trying to change the subject here, this topic deals strictly with guns, but freedoms in general are a double edged sword. Why should I take a responisble persons freedoms away for a few irresponsible people? So I prefer to err in the direction of more freedom than less freedom when I make choices like this.

What pisses me off with all this "Freedoms" and "Rights" is that douche bags conveniently forget about "Responsibilities"

I CAN own a gun...my RESPONSIBILITY is to see that it is used properly. Mad

Slightly off on a tangent but the same goes for a motorvehicle or motorbike. Ranting
