No, Scooter, you're the one who's not keeping up. I asked one of your fellow geniuses who lamented the "politicization" of this issue if they also whined about the politicization of the 9/11 attacks and the politicization of abortion. Will you step up the plate and defend politicizing those things, as well?

Let's go further. Would I give up my guns to save a million people? Nope.
This is exactly the reason people think of gun owners as crazy lunatics.

Which is why they should be encouraged to keep talking.

Why? Logic???

Its not my responsibility to save your children or care if they are safe.

Your children matter as much to me as a child in Sierra Leone does...

More kids die in swimming pool accidents than by firearms.

When you start calling for pools to be banned, then maybe you'll have some credibility. Until then, you just sound like an uninformed kook on a pointless mission.

Just digging yourself a deeper hole.

No, it's not your responsibility to care for other children but if a million children were gonna die if I didn't give up my gun I'd gladly give it up. I wouldn't say "ahh I don't care about them, their not my responsibility, let them die a slow painful death, not my problem". But you would.

More children die in 5.galoong plastic buckets than from firearms. A half-filled 5-gallon bucket can be a death-trap to a toddler, and is more often than you think.

Yes. I would.

Screw those million kids...

We aren't playing Miss Congeniality.

This is reality. Those kids can die and go straight to hell.

Be happy you are free to post in your superior tone and live in your bubble.

Those rights you are using... They were bought and paid for with a gun.
