Now, seriously, do those camps really exist? I thought the liberal class had repeatedly said they don't.

I didn't see any of your evidence to the contrary. However, I seldom see any kind of evidence from you other than that you don't like a source or the person who provided it for you.

How many times do fires kill 232 people in one day in Brazil? Once ever? However, every single day in Brazil guns are used to kill something like 110 people (Brazil has around 40,000 firearms deaths per year).

The difference is that walking into a school and murdering 20 kids is different. How gun lovers can compare the two is beyond me!
A fire in a nightclub killing hundreds is a accident.
Walking into a school and killing little kids is not.

Fire kills people - it should be banned.
Firearms!??

I addressed this in another thread.

Wouldn't that be considered bearing a firearm?

Does the firearm become an "assault weapon" if one tries to ignite another?

Did the firearm commit the assault or did the mind in control of the firearm do so?

How would a law regulate "high capacity magazines" in such an instance?

Would that mean a ban on wrapping more than 10 copies of Playboy for instance around the arm to fuel the conflagration?

Is destroying that magazine such a bad thing - or would one be accused of a hate crime for discriminating against porn producers?

Don't worry. I'm not interested in banning anything.

[this is a silly thread]

That's the truth. Thread after thread about how some gun fired and someone got hurt or dead. With no discussion of the whys and wherefores. Talk about boring. And stupid.
