Barack Obama vows to pursue gun measures in wake of latest massacre - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Carnage2323;36956193]He said anyone who owns a firearm is insane.[/QUOTE] He said not entirely mentally sound. And he was talking about guns that have no practical applications besides killing people like assault rifles.

[QUOTE=Squarebob;36956176]I guess you can see the future know. You can't just sit there and tell me things won't happen.[/QUOTE] where's your tinfoil cap

[QUOTE=Abrown516;36956157]successful airplane attacks: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks[/url] ban airplanes[/QUOTE] Airplanes have a use outside of flying into buildings. And no, "shooting is fun" isn't a legitimate use.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;36956197]Oh okay then let me clarify. Nobody who is a citizen that isn't also a police officer, or in the military, should own any kind of gun. If they use it for hobby, they should find a hobby that doesn't require lethal weapons created to murder people.[/QUOTE] So if those military or police officers have that exact hobby it's okay right

[QUOTE=Carnage2323;36956172]You know you're no less paranoid for thinking 80 million people want to slaughter others[/QUOTE] It's not about knowing they want to, it's about knowing that they can quite easily, if they did. And some of them might. I'd feel safer if I knew it would be incredibly difficult for anyone at all, including people inclined to kill others, to get a gun. Yeah, some will still find a way. But most won't.

you cant predict the future... which is why i own an ar-15 that i personally modified to be fully automatic. can't be too safe when the gubernment breaks in and tries to steal the copper wiring in my house!!!

[QUOTE=Carnage2323;36956209]So if those military or police officers have that exact hobby it's okay right[/QUOTE] No, they should only have the gun if they're on duty.

[QUOTE=butters757;36956207]Airplanes have a use outside of flying into buildings. And no, "shooting is fun" isn't a legitimate use.[/QUOTE] Ok, hunting then.

[QUOTE=Cheesemonkey;36956198]i cant wait for the inevitable nuclear apocalypse *puts on gasmask* *grabs ak-74u with holo sight and extended mag* *grabs gieger counter*[/QUOTE] Better safe than sorry.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;36956220]No, they should only have the gun if they're on duty.[/QUOTE] Why is that?

[QUOTE=Cheesemonkey;36956198]i cant wait for the inevitable nuclear apocalypse *puts on gasmask* *grabs ak-74u with holo sight and extended mag* *grabs gieger counter*[/QUOTE] Gotta stockpile guns in case of the zombie apocalypse!! Or in case the government oppresses us!! Im not paranoid and crazy at all

[QUOTE=Rusty100;36956227]Gotta stockpile guns in case of the zombie apocalypse!! Or in case the government oppresses us!! Im not paranoid and crazy at all[/QUOTE] Or because I enjoy shooting guns and find them fun to collect!

[QUOTE=Squarebob;36956222]Better safe than sorry.[/QUOTE] thats why whenever i get pulled over by a cop i shoot them in the throat just in case they're coming to take me to a FEMA camp..

[QUOTE=Rusty100;36956227]Gotta stockpile guns in case of the zombie apocalypse!! Or in case the government oppresses us!! Im not paranoid and crazy at all[/QUOTE] Gotta limit the use of guns because they might be used to kill people. I'm not [i]paranoid[/i] and crazy at all.

[QUOTE=Jetblack357;36956224]Why is that?[/QUOTE] So they can uphold the law more efficiently, and maybe [b]regrettably[/b] kill attackers more easily, to prevent them harming innocent civilians, because that is their job, and they are not vigilantes???

[QUOTE=Jetblack357;36956236]Or because I enjoy shooting guns and find them fun to collect![/QUOTE] "my hobby is worth more than people's lives"

[QUOTE=Jetblack357;36956215]Because we've all seen that every single member of the police forces and militaries of the world are bastions of incorruptibility.[/QUOTE] How many times has a police officer attempted to ham you?

[QUOTE=Rusty100;36955920]Let's see someone go on a knifing spree and compare their body count with someone going on a shooting spree.[/QUOTE] Its entirely possible, warlords and their armies raped and killed many people with machetes.

[QUOTE=Falubii;36956194]I think I remember seeing Rusty say that exact thing. Oh wait, no I don't.[/QUOTE] "They are raised with insane and outdated beliefs. It's not entirely their fault, but it's still very worrying that so many people in a country can be of those beliefs. Most of America is one big mass hysteria. The rest are smart enough to see though it."

[QUOTE=Squarebob;36956240]Gotta limit the use of guns because they might be used to kill people. I'm not [i]paranoid[/i] and crazy at all.[/QUOTE] God forbid I fear that weapons created with the intent to mass murder, might be used to mass murder. I'm also afraid people might use cars to drive or planes to fly!!

[QUOTE=Jetblack357;36956236]Or because I enjoy shooting guns and find them fun to collect![/QUOTE] i enjoy collecting nuclear weapons

guns RULE!!!

[QUOTE=Squarebob;36956240]Gotta limit the use of guns because they might be used to kill people. I'm not [i]paranoid[/i] and crazy at all.[/QUOTE] When it's backed by evidence I wouldn't say it's paranoia.

[QUOTE=Squarebob;36956222]Better safe than sorry.[/QUOTE] yeah man ill be sure 2 stockpile second-hand mosin nagants from shady ukrainian websites to form an militia and mre's cause da government is after da common man n da man cant keep us down..

[QUOTE=Squarebob;36956222]Better safe than sorry.[/QUOTE] which is why i installed a fallout shelter in my backyard stocked with 20 years of food for 4 people, me and three women i kidnapped and put in the bunker so i will be able to repopulate the planet when everyone dies in a nuclear holocaust better safe than sorry

[QUOTE=Kopimi;36956244]"my hobby is worth more than people's lives"[/QUOTE] Kopimi, tell me this, how often do you see gun hobbyists going out on a killing spree?

Last time I checked, this absolutely does not apply to America or any first world country.

Wait what the fuck am I doing, this thread is nothing but shitposting I can't believe I've been fooled so long, abandoning ship
