Gun interests WANT criminals to have guns

219. Yeah, because the fraction of a percent that is straw-purchased really adds to their bottom line.

Or the other fraction of a percent that is stolen every year.



With concealed carry, "legal gun owners" have the ability to shoot teen age boys when their music is too loud. Oh noes! And with guns in the house, "legal gun owners" have the ability to shoot from their bedroom windows at teen-age girls wearing provocative skirts and hipsters on single-speed bicycles and elderly people on Rascals!

And with cars, "legal drivers" have the "ability" to run over narcoleptic vegans on rollerblades! Panic! Panic! Won't somebody think of the narcoleptic rollerblading vegans?





And what's this? If I take the same concerns we have about the NSA gathering communications-related data on us, and apply it to the ATF or the FBI with gathering gun-related information us... I'm some kind of zealot, and worrying unnecessarily.

And your free speech being assaulted? You have the right to say stupid stuff all you want, but if you're going to continue to do so, don't you dare say that I don't have the right to point out that it is, in fact, stupid stuff. Yammer about your precious "assault weapon" ban all you want; it's a dumbass idea in past, present, and proposed form. Don't blame others because you're clinging to a dumbass idea.

And your entire paragraph about not being able to differentiate between legal and illegal gun owner reflects poorly on you. The police seem to have no problem being able to figure out if a shooter legally, or illegally, had the gun he used to commit the crime.

And hey, nobody made your side bring up the same tired, threadbare, 20-plus-year-old, proven-useless culture war about protruding pistol grips and magazine capacities and telescoping buttstocks after Newtown. You guys did that on your own.




So, can I count on your support for limiting all vehicles speeds in the country to 10mph, saving 30,000 lives a year? Or is being able to drive for a hormone-laden fast-food burger at 55mph more important?
