(20,709 posts)There's nothing less emotional than a cost-benefit analysis. You like to downplay the harms of guns, but when it comes to benefits, all you do is dodge the question. And you are starting to look pretty foolish.
Without cars, society would grind to a halt, and the economy would collapse, sinking millions of people into poverty and starvation. It has nothing to do with the convenience of driving one block to DQ. If you don't understand how fundamental motor vehicles are to our society, I really can't help you.
So again, what comparable benefits do guns provide?
Here's my prediction: you're going to dodge again, because you simply can't answer. You see, the last thing that gun nuts want is an actual non-emotional cost-benefit analysis. You want to make idiotic comparisons to cars or whatever else, because at the end of the day, even NRAers like you know that guns provide barely any benefits at all.
