Are you responsible?

[arewethereyet]

You are right, people die every day.  Or as my grandmother used to say- There’s people dying who have never died before.

I hope we're not related, but that sounds like the cousins.  

She was saying it tongue-in-cheek.  Grandma could read...that sounds as if that's unlikely with what you say about your cousins.

And, good god, no, we aren't related.

Yes people die every day. 50 to 60 million per year on average, worldwide  from everything.

Saying death happens is not an argument.

Do you want to go to a movie theater and worry about having your head blown off?

Do you want to go to work and worry about having your head blown off?

Do you want to go to a music concert and worry about having your head blown off?

Do you want to go to college and worry about having your head blown off?

Do you want to go to a bar and worry about having your head blown off?

Do you want to worry about your partner blowing your head off?

Do you want to worry about a loved one committing suicide?

You have spent all your time responding to me as if I was insane.

Ok please, tell me here and now, if you wrote the laws of our nation, would you allow me to own a firearm?

Sorry, but you cant rail against me, call me crazy, claim it is all in my head, then tell me I should not be allowed to own a firearm.

Seriously, would you sell me a firearm if you owned a gun shop? Think carefully before you respond.

Thank Buddha, you'd be an idiot if you were one of my relatives.

Take your damn meds you lunatic.

And no, you shouldn't own a gun, a car, or a cat.  You need a keeper.

Concern is one thing...paranoia, another.

 Thank you for falling into my trap. I knew you'd say I shouldn't own one, not because of you, but because I know the progression of the argument. You are not my first rodeo. 

Here is the problem with you claiming I should not own a firearm. I HAVE NO RECORD. 

I wont buy one, but right now, having no criminal record, or even mental eval, under the current federal laws of our country, there is NOTHING stopping me from buying a firearm tomorrow.

So congrats, you are for gun control, but too stupid to accept it.

As far as cats, I have never used one to commit murder. As far as cars, not only have I never run anyone over with a car, my last speeding ticket was in 1999. And I do not own a firearm because I accept my depression and anxiety are not a good mix.

I fell into your trap and there's not Bwahahaha evil laugh to accompany that?

I realize that laws need to be changed.  But some people don't go nuts till later in life and/or after a traumatic event.  Your special sort of crazy should be on file somewhere 'cause it ain't new.

Again...this is not a gun thread...at least it wasn't till you made it one and got the appropriate blessings to have done so.  

Others have fallen into your trap...they think you are sincere when what you are is unhinged.

If you realize laws need to be changed, then stop treating me like I am the bad guy.

Stop fucking vilifying me. We have a firearm violence problem. I am sorry if it bothers you that I bring it up so much. It is ugly, yes, but it still needs to be talked about and faced.

"Unhinged" are the people in that list of places you don't want to be whom use firearms to commit murder. I am making noise yes, but I am not going to go on a killing spree myself. 

If you truly think because you are irritating the fuck out of me right now, that I will go postal on you, you are the paranoid one, not me.

My facing anyone with a harsh reality does not make me "unhinged".

Again, if you want me to shut up, instead of bitching at me, make noise yourself. Get America to the level of Japan, or Australia then I will be more than happy to shut up.

[arewethereyet]

You think I am worried about you going postal on me.

You can't even find your own home, much less mine without help.

You will never be happy to shut up...if all guns vanished overnight you would move on to marketing, the NFL, and cars.

Yes, keep it up. In the next 24 hours an average of 100 more of our fellow citizens will die from use of a firearm. So please do by all means stare at my finger when I am pointing at the moon.
