Pro gun arguments

21. That would be cool...ban ALL weapons

knives, ropes, guns, etc. But that is not what the OP is suggesting. The OP is merely pointing out the talking points. In this case I will say this and probably get lambasted but..... both sides do it in this case.

We both kind of go for the jugular.

I would love it if we banned all guns but wishful thinking does not make for reality.

Since that is all it is, wishful thinking, I support better regulation and constant education for everyone. Those for and against gun control.
I also support dropping the name calling on both sides, it doesn't do anything for anyone. If 2A supporters would also consider toning it down from language like "gun grabbers" which is utter bullshit and Obama is gonna take my guns (btw- I rarely ever hear pro gun people say "take my gun" it's almost always "guns" which I think gives people slight cause for alarm and it sounds a bit overboard/indulgent to have "guns". But that may just be semantics, they may be important semantics though).

It could be someone has two guns or one hundered guns. I think that is what freaks people out a bit on the pro control side. Pro control people should consider toning it down on the accusations of all gun owners being responsible for a mass crime involving guns which is utter bullshit and stop using gun worshiper or whatever.

So if everyone would actually start toning it down and try to actually listen and discuss, maybe we can find common ground, get a better understanding of each side and actually come up with good policy. There will always be those who think in extremes and when this issue is discussed around horrific events, emotion really trumps much of the debate. It would be great to revisit this in a more calm setting when emotions are not as high. But for now...it's on a lot of peoples minds.
