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.

Yeah, we really should, but people just want their McDonalds and cigarettes

This isn't about cigarettes, it's about guns. 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.

If you haven't found them by now, you probably won't.

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]

[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.

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?

Statistically, yes. You are 3 times* more likely to

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

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?

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
