What you have to believe to believe in Gun Control (Amazing)

[blumpkin415]

That guns are the real cause of crime, but we will blame and jail the owner of said gun for the crime, even if the owner wasn't the person involved.

That a mugger will kill you in the half-second it takes to draw from the holster, but won't harm you while you dial 911 on your cell phone, talk to the dispatcher and wait half an hour for the cops to arrive.

That gun control works, which is why there are no illegal weapons in Northern Ireland or Beirut.

That the Second Amendment only applies to flintlocks, just as the First Amendment only applies to quills and lead type.

That the proper response to an attack is to call the police, but only unarmed police, because "Violence never settles anything."

That it's wrong to make snide, sexist comments about women, unless the comments are about women who own guns.

That a gun with an 11 round magazine is dangerous, but a gun with fifteen 10 round magazines is much safer.

That a hijacker could easily take a gun away from a pilot, but the hundreds of passengers aboard would then be unable to take the gun away from the hijacker.

That if there'd been a gun aboard American Airlines Flight 11, someone could have been hurt.

That rapists prefer to attack armed women so they can take the guns and use them against the victims.

That 1 firearm owner in 10,000 will commit an act of violence in his or her lifetime, and this is far more frightening than the 25% of drivers who will cause a serious or fatal accident.

That you should rely on police in lieu of your gun, just as you should rely on a dentist in lieu of your toothbrush.

But it's for the children

[BrocepCurls]

blah blah america murder rate 4.8/100k

everywhere else murder rate ~ 1/100k

[blumpkin415]

That car keys, umbrellas and hairspray are good tools for self-defense, despite the fact that police continue to carry guns.

[Vitamin0]

More guns in circulation = more gun related deaths. Doesn't get any more cut and dry than that.


*You already made this thread in 2009. You're pathetic OP. Go take your flame baiting elsewhere.

That Washington DC's low murder rate of 80.6 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, but Arlington, Virginia's high murder rate of 1.6 per 100,000 is attributable to the lack of gun control.

In on the monthly blumpkin gun thread <3


inb4 30 pages of anti-gun retards.

[blumpkin415]

That the depressed and emotionally disturbed should not be allowed to own guns that shoot bullets with 250 ft-lbs of energy, but should be allowed to own 4000 lb cars with 1,136,000 ft-lbs of energy (at 65 mph).

That "assault weapons" are "very powerful" but big game hunters oddly prefer .30-06s and .375 H&Hs.

That we should outlaw bullet proof vests so criminals can't use them, and private citizens should be then proud to be killed in the crossfire, knowing they are doing their part for society.

That among the hundreds of documented cases against anti-gun freaks we note that: the press secretary of Handgun Control was arrested in DC for discharging an illegal handgun, a ranking regional officer of the Million Moron March was convicted of felony assault, and other Million Morons in Colorado have been arrested for attacking firearm dealers and activists, but "gun nuts" are "obsessed with violence."

Doesn't texas have lax gun laws? And a high murder rate?

I think there's **** all correlation between state to state gun laws and gun homicides (different sources directly contradict each other) when you can just buy guns in one state and drive to another

What is important is that with 300 million guns circulating, your homicide rate is stupidly high for a supposedly civilized nation

the US has gang problem, not a 'gun' problem. as OP said in a post above, the states with the strictest gun control have the higher homicide rates.

after the Aus gun ban in 1996, crime rates significantly increased.

More guns in circulation = more gun related deaths. Doesn't get any more cut and dry than that.

strict gun laws will only leave law abiding citizens unarmed.

[Ready4War]

That 1 firearm owner in 10,000 will commit an act of violence in his or her lifetime, and this is far more frightening than the 25% of drivers who will cause a serious or fatal accident.

I question the authenticity of this statistic.....

[blumpkin415]

That the laws against specifically named weapons have been found unconstitutional, that the laws against "types" of weapons have been considered vague, that the laws against cosmetic features are easy to comply with and still produce the identical mechanism, and that laws against particular mechanisms are unconstitutional is an indication of the "obsessiveness" of firearms enthusiasts to do what they enjoy doing, against the wishes of the narrow minded prudes who wish to stop them, and not an indication of the obsessiveness of the ignorant paranoids who fear them.

Texas borders ****hole mexico and **** cartels come in.


Detroit, strict laws, high murder.

codeword for 'good liar'

[blumpkin415]

That NASA, the military, physiologists, anatomists and trainers all agree and Olympic scores confirm that men on average have tremendously more upper body strength than women, but women should try to defend themselves with martial arts and not a gun.

[ZeR0sLaYeR]

Either ban guns or allow them to everyone.

But they cant ban them now, it's too late.

nope, codeword for 'brainwashed marxist'

[Ernie2Bert]

Liberals:

The group of people who simultaneously believe law enforcement/Soldiers are baby killers and evil but that they should also be the only ones allowed to have firearms.

Smart ideology/10

[Vitamin0]

ITT Op just copy and pastes the same **** he copy and pasted in 2009 from a right wing conservative blogger that claims to be an expert.

[blumpkin415]

That police arriving at 80mph are a better way to stop criminals than bullets arriving at 800mph.

That people buy guns as "substitute penises," because they know that only people with small penises ever get attacked by criminals.

That Hitler and Stalin didn't disarm citizens, only Jews, Gypsies, gays, unionists and other "undesirables." (Yes, a liberal member of the MM actually said this in the Washington Post.)

That to properly understand Nazi gun control, one must consider the "legitimate fears" they had of the Jewish population. (This was another self-proclaimed liberal. I'm beginning to wonder.)

[Barteh]

rednecks gonna redneck.

[rcdudegermy10]

I believe in the 2nd amendment

[blumpkin415]

That families with children should not be allowed to own guns for safety reasons, just as they aren't allowed to own dogs, power tools, or toxic chemicals.

That it's wrong to destroy someone's life over an administrative crime by jailing them and impoverishing their family, unless that crime is to own a gun.

That a law that allows someone to keep doing "X" that has been legal for years, in the face of another, badly written law that says they can't do "Y", is a "loophole."

That it's wrong to politicize that the World Trade Center attackers didn't need guns to hijack a plane, but okay to politicize that the Columbine killers bought guns…illegally.

That when someone dies because they couldn't get a drug the government won't approve, it's tragic, but when someone dies because they couldn't defend themselves with a gun the government won't approve, that's just life.

[blumpkin415]

That a criminal is somehow more of a threat to a cop than to a regular person, so police need guns and regular citizens don't.

That the "Reasonable" uses for guns are hunting and target shooting, but not self-defense. In other words, it's acceptable to use them as toys but not as lifesaving devices.

[Vexidi]

Texas borders ****hole mexico and **** cartels come in.

So much this. Also, our gun laws are actually not as lax as everyone thinks. We just exercise our rights more.

[blumpkin415]

That .50 caliber rifles are both "very rare" and "selling like hotcakes."

That the fact that .50 caliber rifles are very rare justifies banning them, just as the rarity of Lamborghinis and other high-performance cars justifies banning them.

[blumpkin415]

That one has the moral obligation to make a citizen's arrest when one sees a felony in progress, and that it should be accomplished by yelling at the perpetrator, "Stop! Or I'll yell 'stop' again!" rather than by drawing a weapon.
