[QUOTE=Neat!;37129377][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YY5Rj4cQ50[/media] OH I'M SORRY I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA[/QUOTE] penn and teller said it so clearly they're right they also fail to acknowledge that we ban certain forms of heavy munitions that would make a violent revolution feasible and instead pretend we're trying to ban guns outright (we aren't) but whatever it's a funny video so clearly they're right

[QUOTE=Kartoffel;37129345]You know, apart from the obvious "we think these guns are cool, and we'd like to have them". :v:[/QUOTE] I don't think that argument would be admissible if there was an actual political debate about this. :v:

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;37129435]I don't think that argument would be admissible if there was an actual political debate about this. :v:[/QUOTE] Oh, I'm sure there are politicians who'd vote in favor of that argument. I tell ya, the roar of rapid fire, the smell of gunpowder... It's...cathartic... [editline]7th August 2012[/editline] Which reminds me, we are probably going to go shooting this weekend, and I'll use that to relieve some stress. Blasting off 120 rounds in about a minute really clears the mind...and your wallet. :v:

I can't believe that Mbeke in Liberia gets a full-auto FAL and I don't. It's fucking bullshit, yo.

We've got over 1500 rounds of the stuff, so no worries. :P

[img]http://i.imgur.com/CBTR2.png[/img] notice how before the firearms control act there was a massive upwards trend in the murder rate. immediately after the control act was passed, murders dropped close to 1969 levels and from the years of 1976 to 1983, the average murder rate was 29.5, 8.8 (per 100k) murders less than there were a year before the Act was passed. graph runs from 1960 to 1983 to show you as much time as possible before and after the Act was passed, while excluding the period in which the Crack Epidemic took place which caused a significant spike in crime.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;37130157]ie you're shitposting while complaining that facepunch is full of shitposters stop posting altogether dude[/QUOTE] Holy fucking shit I agree with Kopimi.

[QUOTE=dogmachines;37130252]Holy fucking shit I agree with Kopimi. [editline]7th August 2012[/editline] It's been discussed countless times already.[/QUOTE] whoa so you recognize that gun control helped DC's already-high crime rate and that DC's current crime rate isn't a result of gun control?

Therefore, this thread is pretty much done with. It's your own fault if you came in too late to contribute.

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;37130313]Except everyone in the thread already discussed things and came to an [I]agreement[/I]. Therefore, this thread is pretty much done with. It's your own fault if you came in too late to contribute.[/QUOTE] Glad I wasn't left to stand alone on this one. ;D

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;37130237]no, lets start this up again.

You want to discuss it even more, wait until another thread or start up your own thread in the Mass Debate section.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;37130278]whoa so you recognize that gun control helped DC's already-high crime rate and that DC's current crime rate isn't a result of gun control?[/QUOTE] No, I just agree that that guy should stop shitposting or contribute.

This thread came to a standstill when we agreed to disagree, and left it at that. And I don't think we need you making personal attacks against the people who disagree with your inability to call it a day. I am politely asking you to drop it. You are taking this to heart way too much.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;37130278]whoa so you recognize that gun control helped DC's already-high crime rate and that DC's current crime rate isn't a result of gun control?[/QUOTE] It did? How? Can you give proof of this?

Anything else will just be a repeat of what's already been said. So why start the argument up again if it's just going to lead to the same conclusion?

There's no reason to beat a dead horse, and this discussion is quite dead. [editline]7th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=King Tiger;37130386]It did? How? Can you give proof of this?[/QUOTE] Please, just let it go.
