Another gun thread...

[A Theist]

There's also another bit of folk-lore about two young boys who were arguing over who's barn had the largest rats...Boy #1 says, "Come to my barn, the rats there are as big as cats!"...as both boys stood watching the barn, a huge cat sized rat runs out...Boy #1 shouts, "Did you see that?!"...to which Boy #2 responds, "Aww, that's nothin'. Come to my barn. We have rats a whole lot bigger than that!"...then as both stood outside Boy #2's barn, a huge rat, larger than any ever seen, runs out....Boy #2 shouts, "Did you see that?!".....to which Boy #1 responds, both eyes tightly closed and shaking his head, "Nope! I didn't see a thing!"....which is how the left is naively focused only on guns, refusing to consider or even address the motivating influences on those who commit acts of violence.

Nice story but you don't understand it. The one with his eyes closed is the one who thinks guns are beside the point. Guns don't kill people, they just enable every weakling the same opportunity for murder. Guns make it possible for every person suffering a psychotic break to inflict tremendous harm even in their debilitated state. So "no, of course guns have nothing to do with it" remains utter bull shit.

I only wish some nut job would sit down and plot ways to worsen our national obesity problem. In the end, at least that lunatic isn't firing three twinkies into our bodies per second at a speed of 1000 mph.

No...it's you who doesn't understand....you're the kid standing there with his eyes closed....as the story suggested, you're focused only on the guns as if that's the cure all to violence and murder...you refuse to consider, or even address the motivating influences on those who would commit acts of violence...Timothy McVeigh murdered 168 people and wounded another 800 in the Oklahoma City bombing with only common fertilizer and racing fuel....

Dear Mr T
I live in a deprived part of London, where the only people that have guns are criminals. My government does not represent my views, and actually I am within my means working towards a sustainable lifestyle. If your defence of gun ownership is so strong why don't I need one?
Honestly who's eyes are shut my little monkey?

If your defence of gun ownership is so strong why don't I need one?

....It's not that my defense of gun ownership is so strong as it is your side naively believing that more gun legislation / and or banning, is going to be the cure all....You guys don't even take into consideration, or even want to address the motivational influences on those who commit acts of violence....how can your side say they want a national debate when you refuse to listen to the other side? It's you, blind little monkey, whose hand won't let go of the apple...
