Probably time to start grabbing the guns. Long list of evidence over the past 20 years or so that people simply can't be trusted with them. If you're a law abiding citizen I understand your frustration but hey, it's always small minority of knuckleheads that screw it up for everybody else isn't it? Unfortunately they are the variables that have to be most closely accounted for.

I cringe when I hear people like you speak as if you are the self appointed ruler of the land and your opinion is law. I agree your opinion matters, quite a bit, to you. Only you.

How about those cars and the small percentage of drunks or street racers? Over 100 years of evidence, right?

So you want to get rid of two amendments? If being a "criminal" means the cops can just shoot and kill you, why don't they do that now for drug offenses, robbery, drunk driving?

Why do you think Dallas wasn't terrorism?

Cars are transportation devices and are generally not used as violent weapons. Sometimes planes and trains crash too I hear due to misuse or operator error, but none of these things have anything to do with guns do they?

I get it. You cherish your guns more than the safety of the general public and law enforcement.

If we had complete gun control and confiscation and got rid of the 2nd Amendment, so that only the police have guns, then Philandro Castile would not have had a gun or right to carry and therefore he wouldn't have gotten himself shot.

I don't see any downside to this. I mean what other options are there?
Plenty!

I hope you are joking, even if it is one of the dumbest jokes.

Nice try to such down a debate..... So you want to disarm everyone so YOU feel safe? How about women who feel somewhat equal with their gun against a 225 lb man?


What do you like to do, drink, smoke pot, go fishing, hunting, bowling, eating........I think I want to take it away from you. See how your explanation sounds?

Cars and firearms are perfectly acceptable devices in responsible hands. It's the cheap gasoline and bullets that I take issue with.
