Should we ban people? (legal, politician, government, claim)

[jjrose]

I'm a liberal, according to people here, and I own guns. Why would I want to ban my own possessions?

Sure they do - what do you think Senator Feinstein is trying to do.

How is her gun ban going to stop gun violence?

Assault Weapons - Issues - United States Senator Dianne Feinstein

This argument is an attempt to divert attention away from the fact that guns make it much easier to kill people. Guns do this in two ways: enhanced ability and feasibility. We can see the enhanced ability from suicide statistics: the most successful suicide attempts are those that involve firearms. And this greater ability also makes murder feasible in a greater number of circumstances.

If you want to get even sillier, then lets say fingers on guns don't kill people, the bullets do.

Granted.

But how does banning them prevent them from being used to kill people?

Since banning guns will do next to nothing to prevent gun violence why don't we do something that is 100% effective.

Should we ban people?

Guns are not banned, nor will they be banned. People will still have guns long after you and I are gone.

Did you neglect to read where I mentioned responsible "nation-states"?

You are not the only person who thinks so.

I don't advocate for full removal of guns. But there should be some control. Like, one per customer.

And I don't see the need for anyone to have a gun that can spray 16-20 bullets in 4 seconds. Having that kind of weaponry available makes murderous people more successful.

This might be the solution to murder. Avery's Gore, Vermont has never had a murder. No people live there. No people, no murder.
