if not then you have no case for keeping your toys. No hobby or delusion is worth the lives of 8000 Americans every year. Grand Union

The difference is we have a document that allows us to own guns, other countries dont. When you start thinking for yourself you may choose to own one or not, thats your CHOICE, you libs love some choice when it comes to killing a baby.

well put paul

yet its not me that is buying a gun........The risk to me personally is so tiny as to not worth the worry but I bet the risk of nuts with guns seems very real to the Parents of those 20 kids. Grand Union

You claim the risk is so tiny that it is not worth you worrying about, and yet you are still so hysterically terrified of them that you want to ban everybody from having them. Please explain to me again how you are not living in constant fear of an inanimate object!

"debunked with something called "research" Prove it. So far your arguments would fail a review commitee."

Prove what? Its not me that wants a toy that can kill dozens of people in seconds.......and a toy that killed 20 kids a few weeks ago. The US has a Murder rate 4X that of any comparable Country whilst other crimes are about the same......now it might be that Americans are simply better at killing people or it may be that they have easy access to the tools to do so.....we know the latter is true.....can you show that the former is also true....if not then you have no case for keeping your toys. No hobby or delusion is worth the lives of 8000 Americans every year.

"No I would not."

how would we know? nothing rational out of you yet.

"Living in constant fear is also a red flag of mental illness."

yet its not me that is buying a gun........The risk to me personally is so tiny as to not worth the worry but I bet the risk of nuts with guns seems very real to the Parents of those 20 kids.

"Lots of ifs and buts going on here. If ifs and buts were fruits and nuts we could all have a merry christmas."

How merry a Christmas do you think the parents of the 20 kids killed in Conn. had.......

"Liberalism is the belief that mankind is perfectable."

where do you get such rubbish from....if anything its the opposite. It recognizes that not all mankind can be perfect but that we shouldn't punish them for that.

"Conservatism is the belief that mankind is flawed and that there will always be flaws."

and that such flawed people must be allowed to have guns capable of killing dozens in seconds.......yeah that makes great sense!

"That's why our government was designed with a separation of powers - to offer checks and balances against human failings."

Indeed.

"If it were based on trust, all we'd need is a king or dictator and trust they'd make the right choices"

Or wait, we could vote to elect our leaders........ the trust required is less as we can always replace them.

Grand Delusion!

atheistswillrule: "Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.”

Liberalism is the belief that mankind is perfectable. Conservatism is the belief that mankind is flawed and that there will always be flaws. That's why our government was designed with a separation of powers - to offer checks and balances against human failings. If it were based on trust, all we'd need is a king or dictator and trust they'd make the right choices.

"Trust, but verify."

"There are a lot of armed people in Franklin County" That's right! This guy, sooner or later, is going to walk into a store and confront someone that's not going to be armed and not scared and there's going to be one less criminal in the world.
