They already have places custom made for those that cannot be trusted to be free, with liberties.

He would be afraid of the knives there. They average about 59,000 stabbings a year.

A baseball bat is not that effective for a massacre. You are making my point! The issue is to ban weapons that can cause a lot of damage in a very short time.

Bingo!!!!!!!! We have a winner.

Mentally unstable gun lovers use their guns when they go nuts.

Mentally unstable folks that are not into the gun culture do not do massacres because they do not know how to handle a gun.

Here is a gun lover that went postal:

Perhaps you would be happier in a country where they are as willing to take your rights away as you are to give them up. It is not the American way to give up rights Your arguments are silly.

Yes, they absolutely can. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. You have really driven that point home.

The issue is that you CAN NOT BAN GUNS, period end of story. Even if you somehow managed to legally do it you will NEVER get them out of the hands of criminals. Liberals seem completely incapable of accepting that criminals don't follow laws.

A baseball bat is not that effective for stopping a massacre, but armed civilians are.

However, when a gun enthusiast develops mental illness he may have a proclivity to use the guns he loves. In other words the gun culture plays a role in the abnormal mind of people with mental illness. That is why I always pray a gun lover does not develop mental illness.

When was the last time you saw a non-gunlover go postal? When they go nuts they may do crazy things, but generally they do not have the firepower to do a lot a harm since they may not even know how to handle a pistol or a rifle.
Where have you been? You need a few days straight of Breaking Bad.

I am not proposing to take your rights away. I am simply stating that some weapons are only useful for killing a lot of people in a very short amount of time. And those weapons should be banned. Otherwise, you can have a 1000 guns, no problems.

You could kill everyone in a grocery store in a matter of minutes if you knew what you were doing. You wouldn't even have to bring anything with you. Should we ban grocery stores? Those things needed to do that dirty deed? People?

That's it, isn't it. It's the people thing that bothers you. They are so freaking unpredictable, aren't they? That's what's been causing all these problems all these years? Freaking people. And it was right there in front of my face the whole time. If we'd do away with people all of of society's problems would be solved!

Where's my Nobel prize?
