Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[Minimalist]

Like those "heroes" in Oregon?

Bunch of pussies with guns.

No, they're embarrassments and don't represent gun owners as a whole. Try harder.

Sorry.  You do not get to determine who is or is not a TRUE GUN NUT.

Sorry.  You do not get to determine who is or is not a TRUE GUN NUT.

And you don't get to decide if every gun owner is like the Oregon cunts, because they're fucking not.

I regard anyone who insists on walking around armed to the teeth as a gun nut.  If you don't like it....go fuck yourself.

I don't think people should be walking around with assault rifles. But hey, they should be able to keep them in their houses providing they are of sound mind. You can fuck yourself as well.

Maybe if you lived in Texas, you'd be a better guy, who watches his tone and chooses his words better when there's a disagreement instead of immediately escalating the situation with ad hominem attacks and foul name-calling.

[Gawdzilla]

Wait! Did you just go the NOT A TRUE GUN NUT route?

I said they don't represent all gun owners. Do what you will with that information.

I did.

And you should take a "reading for comprehension" class that explains how to avoid strawman arguments.

Nah.

[Gawdzilla]

Okay, so you're happy with doing strawman fallacies. I hope you enjoy them.

Assault rifles have been the most heavily restricted type of firearm for nearly 100 years.  You can own one, but their production is federally restricted, their sale is federally restricted, and their permitting is federally restricted.  They're also fantastically expensive.  It takes more than soundness of mine to get ahold of one and if you do..you will be subject to recurring ATF inspections.   Possession of an assault rifle without conforming to all of the above will lead to a felony charge for -someone- along the chain of possession...and forfeiture of the firearm.  

Not that it means much in relation to our gun problem.  Assault rifles aren't our problem (might be all that regulation, might be the cost, might be that they just aren't suitable, probably all three and other factors).  Rifles, taken all together as a group to avoid confusion as to what is and is not an assault rifle, barely register as a blip on the radar. You're more likely to be beaten to death than killed with a rifle of -any- kind, in this country.
