High school shooting in Parkland FL

[RoadRunner79]

People are always quick to defend their precious little toys with the idea that "Anything can be used as a weapon!"

Then why the fuck doesn't it happen more often?  You know what you don't hear about on the news at least once a week?  People driving into large groups of other people.  You know what you DO hear about on the news at least once a week?  MASS SHOOTINGS.  This includes, funny enough, countries where gun ownership is very low.  Gee, I wonder why the fuck that is?  And that's not to mention that bollards can help prevent car attacks, while they do fuck all to guns.  

You know, I'd feel a lot better about these conversations if people were more honest, and just said "I don't give a fuck about kids getting killed.  I like guns, and I don't care how many kids die, I don't want to give them up to protect a single one of them.  Their deaths are an acceptable price to pay for my toys."

If you want an honest conversation, I don't think demanding what you want to hear is a good start.  In my opinion, you have a pretty poor view of your opposition, and in my experience, people who talk like this, are not really interested in reason or discussion.
