[QUOTE=teh pirate;38902503]i'm going to bed. there are legitimate arguments against firearms ownership and you lot have managed to touch on zero of them. congrats.[/QUOTE] ~educate me~
[QUOTE=zydos;38902494]idgaf I win bitches~ Also, cigarettes are only good for getting cancer and causing impotency Europe has 738,523,843 people, says the internet, America has 313,485,438, so not even half. A good try, though[/QUOTE] Cigarette related deaths cause 435,000 more fatalities than guns in the US per year; so if you and Goldengnome are going to jump on the humanities wagon you might want to address an even bigger issue that causes a lot more death.
actually, there aren't any legitimate arguments against firearms ownership
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;38902537]we should probably ban those oh and while we're at it I hear obesity kills people, we should ban fatty foods[/QUOTE] I hear stupid people kill others; we should probably ban zydos.
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;38902537]we should probably ban those oh and while we're at it I hear obesity kills people, we should ban fatty foods[/QUOTE] Yeah, we really should, but people just want their McDonalds and cigarettes [editline]19th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=BFG9000;38902554]I hear stupid people kill others; we should probably ban zydos.[/QUOTE] Awww problem is I'm not stupid, I don't kill, and you didn't specify which one I was so.. nice try?

I'm talking about how dangerous having guns around is even when you're using them responsibly, the AAP doesn't lie~
[QUOTE=zydos;38902563]Yeah, we really should, but people just want their McDonalds and cigarettes [/QUOTE] Likewise people just want their guns and shooting ranges. THINK ABOUT IT, SON
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38902553]actually, there aren't any legitimate arguments against firearms ownership[/QUOTE] i could see how someone could feel like heavy machine guns and etc aren't really appropriate for civilian ownership. i personally disagree, but it's a reasonable belief.
[QUOTE=GoldenGnome;38902540]~educate me~[/QUOTE] If you haven't found them by now, you probably won't.
[QUOTE=BFG9000;38902584]Likewise people just want their guns and shooting ranges. THINK ABOUT IT, SON[/QUOTE] Underlying point: people are more willing to die premature, preventable deaths than be logical about the things they own or put in their bodies
[QUOTE=zydos;38902563]I'm not stupid[/QUOTE] lol
[QUOTE=teh pirate;38902588]i could see how someone could feel like heavy machine guns and etc aren't really appropriate for civilian ownership. i personally disagree, but it's a reasonable belief.[/QUOTE] Well definitely there is a logical threshold for how big we should let people go, and I'd say gatling guns are probably beyond that threshold.
[QUOTE=teh pirate;38902588]i could see how someone could feel like heavy machine guns and etc aren't really appropriate for civilian ownership. i personally disagree, but it's a reasonable belief.[/QUOTE] why not? again, you're not going to be more dead after taking 20 rounds than you are after taking 1 round, especially now that we're talking .50 BMG
[QUOTE=zydos;38902610]Underlying point: people are more willing to die premature, preventable deaths than be logical about the things they own or put in their bodies[/QUOTE] So because I own a gun I'll die a premature, preventable death? What?
[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;38902611]lol[/QUOTE] Ahahahahahaha you? You really decide to show up now? Cute, I have an admirer [editline]19th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=BFG9000;38902622]So because I own a gun I'll die a premature, preventable death? What?[/QUOTE] Statistically, yes. You are 3 times* more likely to
[QUOTE=zydos;38902625]Ahahahahahaha you? You really decide to show up now? Cute, I have an admirer [editline]19th December 2012[/editline] Statistically, yes. You are 3 time more likely to[/QUOTE] Well then, the place you get your figures from is obviously a piece of shit because I've seen a lot of people I personally knew die before me and they didn't have guns
[QUOTE=BFG9000;38902651]Well then, the place you get your figures from is obviously a shithole because I've seen a lot of people I personally knew die before me and they didn't have guns[/QUOTE] Well if you read the thread and my sources, it was the American Academy of Pediatrics, lol
[QUOTE=zydos;38902657]Well if you read the thread and my sources, it was the American Academy of Pediatrics, lol[/QUOTE] ...and just because they are the AAP somehow makes them more legitimate even though they say that people who own a gun are 3x more likely to die?
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38902619]why not? again, you're not going to be more dead after taking 20 rounds than you are after taking 1 round, especially now that we're talking .50 BMG[/QUOTE] i'm on your side there but again, it's an understandable enough reason— not mine, though
[QUOTE=zydos;38902657]Well if you read the thread and my sources, it was the American Academy of Pediatrics, lol[/QUOTE] They didn't take into account socio-economic status in that study.
[QUOTE=teh pirate;38902673]i'm on your side there but again, it's an understandable enough reason— not mine, though[/QUOTE] it's an uninformed reason at best
going to bed now
[QUOTE=BFG9000;38902672]...and just because they are the AAP somehow makes them more legitimate even though they say that people who own a gun are 3x more likely to die?[/QUOTE] ...yes, it does, because they're doctors who went to school longer than you've been alive
[QUOTE=zydos;38902610]Underlying point: people are more willing to die premature, preventable deaths than be logical about the things they own or put in their bodies[/QUOTE] And what, people shouldn't be allowed to choose whether or not they are willing to risk a premature, preventable death in exchange for some personal enjoyment?
[QUOTE=Apache249;38902675]They didn't take into account socio-economic status in that study.[/QUOTE] Awwww too bad, maybe you should conduct the study again then
[QUOTE=zydos;38902695]...yes, it does, because they're doctors who went to school longer than you've been alive[/QUOTE] they're also idiots, you can be educated and still be a moron
[QUOTE=zydos;38902702]Awwww too bad, maybe you should conduct the study again then[/QUOTE] We don't need to because it's complete bullshit and you can totally tell You should stahp now
Wait, what? Are you serious? [editline]19th December 2012[/editline] Are all of you really that stupid? Wow, you guys are worse than I thought [editline]19th December 2012[/editline] You apparently can't put aside your bias and listen to fucking doctors who do this for, oh, a living? You're just a _____ on an internet forum, some doctor YOU are~
[QUOTE=zydos;38902702]Awwww too bad, maybe you should conduct the study again then[/QUOTE] jesus christ you are so fucking dense it's unreal seriously if you were any denser you'd probably collapse and suck in all the mass for miles
[QUOTE=zydos;38902702]Awwww too bad, maybe you should conduct the study again then[/QUOTE] "Someone noted in a flaw in the [I]single[/I] piece of evidence Ive been using to hold up my entire argument, quick, resort to petty insults and sarcasm to make myself look cool!"
