Guns, and my most recent Facebook Post.

[Spooky]

If you seriously think the guy who stabbed three people wouldn't of killed more it a pistol, an uzi or an assault rifle I don't know what to say to you. You're not living in reality.

Reality is less kind then we want it to be.  Also, what guy?

Its easier to shoot yourself in the head than it is to slit your wrists or hang yourself. The determination required to do so is lower. This means more suicides. You know this. This is silly.

I don't see as big a correlation with guns and suicide as you seem too.  For the record, I have a BS in Psychology and mainly see a problem with mental health in this country, not guns.

If you have guns you'll get school shootings which are easier to go through with and have more fatalities than a school stabbing. Both involve a mentally vulnerable individual, one results in more frequency and more death.

More frequency perhaps, but not more death.  School shootings are a problem of gun owners not willing to admit their child has an psychological issue.  School violence will not stop by banning guns.  You'll perhaps see fewer gun related ones, but knife and explosive related ones will go up.

Want to see a spectacular fuckup by the psychological community?  Google "Josh Gilchrist Huron SD".  He was in my boy-scout troop.  If you care to know he had access to firearms. Why he didn't use them I'll never know.

This sounds like its all about you frankly. You're trained. You're stable. You're comfortable. Your wife has a gun. You're sorted, everyone else can just deal. Thats not how a society is supposed to work. It moves as fast as its slowest citizen and in this case its slowest citizen could be responsible for a massacre.

This will be fun.  I'm sure you already love me by this point.  

No, that's not how society is supposed to work.  Society is supposed to move forward.  What you've described is a stunting of evolution.

Eugenics is something that really needs to be considered, worldwide.  But it wont be, we just have to keep popping out them childrens. Honestly I could give a shit less about society.  Humanity is fairly well screwed with or without guns.

Can we just be honest? You know all this. You just want to keep guns because you've likely grown up with guns. Its a tradition thing that you're not willing to let go of because its so firmly ingrained in your culture that its impossible to imagine a life without them. Thats not rednecks. Thats America. Thats fair enough. Its hard to let go of stuff like that but please be under no illusions that not letting go of that will cause alot more people to die. It will. This is a inescapable fact. Saying "Oh well, they don't need a gun to kill someone." is a insincere thing to say. You know full well noones saying getting rid of guns will stop humans killing each other. They're saying it would decrease instances of homicide and suicide vastly.

Heh, no, it's not tradition.  The tradition in my family is substance abuse, domestic violence, and all sorts of other stuff that under the current gun laws ban you from owning one, for life.  My father was something of an overachiever, dishonorable discharge from the local National Guard unit for some sort of record quantity (For Huron SD) of cocaine and other drugs.

Saying "Oh well, they don't need a gun to kill someone." is not insincere, its honest, and part of that reality you don't believe I live in.  And I love how the mysterious "They" is saying it would decrease all those nasty things vastly.  That is inflated at best, and at worst simply made up.  Like I said, such things would dip...slightly.
