19. faux arguement debunked a million times now

Wed May 15, 2013, 10:07 AM

May 2013

the terrorists are what the drones are aimed at. Collateral would be killed by the terrorists
anyhow, therefore instead of killing 10 million, a terrorist and ten collateral would be killed
Saving 9,999,999 lives. (just not the terrorist.)

therefore the argument was indeed debunked.

Wish the US had drones back in the day and FDR sent one out and hit Hitler a week before he loaded up that first train to the gas chambers.
How many tens of millions would have been saved, even if 10 collateral were next to Hitler,
who, either they were the top echelon or they would have been killed by Amon Goeth or someone like him.

So again, fake argument.

(but why people who are against drones want the NRA and guns, I don't know-
more people die/hurt in the US on the streets from guns/bullets in 2 months, every 2 months, then in the total lifetime of guns.

So to be not disingenuous, all those against drones should be for 100% NO guns/bullets
in the hands of private individuals in the USA and only law enforcement whilst on duty.

We can agree on that.
