Remember Prohibition? Remember how the US thought banning all alcohol was a good thing for society? Remember Al Capon and his criminal empire? Remember how the only reason it came about was through Prohibition?
My point exactly.

When did you get not dumb?
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21973956]says the guy who doesn't look at statistics before blatantly crying out "statistics are on MY SIDE"
and what the fuck does my support of the iraq war have to do with this, stop nitpicking.
also, when did i even say that[/QUOTE]
so... Scandinavia has lower crime rates and higher gun control. derp
Means you're an idiot.
No president in the right mind would ban guns anyway, America lives solely off the War Economy, so it would collapse into bits if it banned guns.
Ho Chi Minh,
Lets assume you're right, and that guns are bad and should be banned unequivacally. How do we go about this? Do we take them all away forcibly? Do you not see the problem? Do you ask for them politely? Do you not see the problem? What do you do? You can't very well leave them in that state can you?
Do you not see the problem with this? Guns will not be able to be removed by just a ban. Criminals aren't going to follow a gun law just because it's a gun law, suddenly, all of those legal guns become illegal and a black market/prohibition situation is set up, and things are worse than before.
[QUOTE=Ho Chi Minh;21973968]That's all speculation. That's the fucking problem, you people are paranoid as fuck.[/QUOTE]
Do you have any idea how often robberies happen in the world?
[QUOTE=Flitchaye;21973937]Ok, so you want me to let them have my stereo and everything else I own because they're absolutely pure and priceless people?:downswords:[/QUOTE]
Uh, no, I think he'd just rather you don't blow their brains out.
Buy a taser if it bothers you so much.
[QUOTE=Ho Chi Minh;21973968]That's all speculation. That's the fucking problem, you people are paranoid as fuck.[/QUOTE]
you didn't respond to my post.. and I don't think I'm paranoid. I wouldn't shoot an intruder stealing my TV. I'd only shoot them if they were an imminent threat to myself or others.

Maybe because Scandinavia has less people?
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;21973984]When did you get not dumb?[/QUOTE]
I can be good on certain topics. I know more than you think.

He doesn't respond to actual arguments.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;21973959]Christopher Hitchens thinks the iraq war is a good thing, so, is he a retard by your views?
I'm not supporting it, but there are reasons.[/QUOTE]
Means he loses some credibility in an argument regarding human rights.

Oh yeah, because we're saints. It's not like we profit off of slave labor in Asian countries for our cheap merch.
Everbody's a crook at some point.
i can't shoot people with alcohol

Every able-bodied male 18 and up in Switzerland owns a gun. It's required.
Switzerland suffers from almost no crime.
[QUOTE=Ho Chi Minh;21974026]i can't shoot people with alcohol[/QUOTE]
But you can get drunk and lose self-control and kill people.
Your argument is backwards as fuck.

I'm talking about regular people here, not...whatever you're talking about

It's random posts like this that cause one to lose credibility.
[QUOTE=Ho Chi Minh;21974026]i can't shoot people with alcohol[/QUOTE]
You support one form of prohibition, but not another on what basis? The stupidity basis?
[QUOTE=Ho Chi Minh;21974015]
uh, alcohol =/= guns[/QUOTE]
Do you realize the crime, black markets, and smuggling groups that would result from gun banning?
It'd be almost as bad as Al Capone.
[QUOTE=Bepo5;21973967]The mailman generally does not step into my house. Does yours? :raise: Yes, if I saw a person that I did not recognize in my house, I would be holding my gun in an instant and questioning as to why he is here.
If it was at night when a criminal would try to break in and saw/heard a window breaking, yes I would shoot on sight.[/QUOTE]
You are fucking paranoid. So you see a guy in your house, you instantly don't regonise... you fucking kill him.
So a guy goes to steal your TV, that's punishable by death?
I just realized I've been misspelling Capone.

If not worse
nothing else? no shouting. Threats, warnings? nope, you kill him

That's not because of everyone in the country owning a gun.

Yeah, that's a pretty stupid fucking comparison Gmodfan.
Alcohol is relatively easy to produce and addictive. It's the perfect way to raise money for gang operations.
Guns are pieces of metal that can't be mass produced without advanced hardware.
