Since you like the ancedotal, I own several firearms and keep a loaded revolver in the house.

I do not hunt, nor have I ever shot anyone.

Collectors, range/competition shooters, and reenactors are examples of gun owners who do not use them to "harm or kill another" or for "evil purposes".

So far, you're batting zero.

Gun laws only effect law abiding citizens, criminals, by definition, ignore gun control laws. This type of legislation is a waste of tax revenue and law enforcement resources.

Also, no one is forced to won firearms in this country. If you do not agree with the 2nd Amendment, don't own a firearm, problem solved.

You are a social Darwinist.

By your logic, we should stop cleaning water, creating vaccines, antibiotics, grow food on a large scale, destroy our houses, and let any infection take its course.
We should return back to the stone age, without the tools. Because tools by your definition equals "unnatural".

I feel sorry for everyone who has to live near you.

We should let nature take its course--the strong will survive.

Why would you feel sorry for anyone? A. You don't know them. B. I don't know them. C. They don't know me.

I believe in leaving other people alone, and expect the same treatment from them.

You are a sick man.

I for one care about people around me. I would help them rather then let "nature take its course".
You would be dead if we let nature take it's course. Probably killed by disease and/or famine.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change".

Your idea's of natural selection, evolution, are wrong.

What makes them wrong? Those who adapt to disease, have a healthy immune system, fight only for their own survival (and not someone else's) are the ones who should and do survive. Of course, we all die at some point, but so what? It's not like any one life really matters to anyone else.

The real one? Life isn't a bowl of cherries...all fun and games. Life is a struggle, and only those suited for struggle are fit to live.

He's delusional. Thinks we shouldn't use tools for out benefit. Strange how he believes this, but continues to use his computer to communicate.

Tools are "nice to have"...but not everyone has them, or can get them. But they can adapt to working without them.

If this computer was gone tomorrow, I wouldn't be bothered. Would you? Do you rely on things? I don't rely on anything but myself.
