No, it's not.
That's what dumb cunts believe.
PEOPLE are the g'damned problem, NOT guns.
Is it the AUTOMOBILE that gets drunk and drives across a lane, hitting another vehicle head on, or is it the driver? Yea, that's right, it's the fucking driver. The car didn't do a g'damn thing except what the driver MADE it do, and the same g'damn thing applies with firearms.
Firearms are the "problem" when they aren't made properly and blow the fuck up in your face when you fire a round, or if they are mechanically broken and discharge a round without pressing the trigger. Other than that, they are simply a TOOL, and no more dangerous than your fucking kitchen stove, a chainsaw, OR that fucking SUV so many schmucks feel the need to drive.
So QUIT TRYING TO BLAME HUMAN BEHAVIOR ON INANIMATE OBJECTS.
You don't reduce drunk driving by fucking with the law abiding citizens' right to own and operate automobiles, you do it by fucking with DRIVERS that decide to drive drunk. Period.
OK, I worded that wrong and you are correct. The problem is not handguns, it's IDIOTS with handguns. This is still my argument, that we need to address it on this level.
I stand by my earlier statement that more ineffectual laws are not the answer. I don't claim to know the answer, i just claim that the problem isn't long guns (or even idiots with long guns) it's the idiots with illegal handguns.
I honestly don't know how we get our idiots to stop shooting people, it's obvious what we've tried hasn't worked. Attacking law abiding citizens isn't the answer, but what is? It's already a longer sentence with a gun than without, so that really hasn't worked.
I don't know man, I grew up in Detroit, saw a lot of bad things happen but never carried a gun. I was taught early on how to use them, but also taught that if you pull one, you better be prepared to use one. I'm only prepared to do that in my house if you are an uninvited guest, and for that a shotgun works so much better.
I've noticed down south everyone seems to carry and I haven't seen stats, but it seems there is much less gun crimes (except in those cities with gun restrictions). Maybe the answer is an armed society is a polite society?
