[QUOTE=Scot;39245110]That is the weakest argument I have ever heard.[/QUOTE] It's not weak at all, lol, maybe listen to the shit you're spewing before you call someone else out.

[QUOTE=Craig Willmore;39245086]"he's not going to ban guns guys, stop whining, I don't use them so you don't need them" ~ FP 2012 "he's not going to ban most guns guys, stop whining, I don't use them so you don't need them"~ FP 2013 ? ~ FP 2014[/QUOTE] "just because he banned guns even after he said he wouldn't doesn't make him a liar, stop whining, I think he did the right thing and so should you."~ FP 2014

[QUOTE=Scot;39245057]Yeah knives suck almost as much as guns, but you cannot deny that if that guy went into that school with a gun there would have been at least one casualty.[/QUOTE] It's dependent entirely on the situation, type of the knife, size, and how skilled that person is.

[QUOTE=Scot;39245110] If he shot the same amount of people that he stabbed it would be a miracle if none of them died.[/QUOTE] no shit? there is a reason that technology has progressed in the fashion that guns have become better killing machines than edged weapons.

[editline]16th January 2013[/editline] If he shot the same amount of people that he stabbed it would be a miracle if none of them died.[/QUOTE] It's a miracle that none died from all that stabbing. Actually we can't say that. We don't know what kind of knife he was using.

[QUOTE=Craig Willmore;39245163]no shit? there is a reason that technology has progressed in the fashion that guns have become better killing machines than edged weapons.[/QUOTE] Yes thank you for backing up my argument.

[QUOTE=Craig Willmore;39245163]no shit? there is a reason that technology has progressed in the fashion that guns have become better killing machines than edged weapons.[/QUOTE] Range is a huge factor. Range doesn't matter when you're on a killing spree in a classroom.

[QUOTE=UziXxX;39245180][video=youtube;0CcIkuxBYkg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CcIkuxBYkg[/video][/QUOTE] Times change.

I could go on a stabbing spree with my shitty switchblade which is illegal and do more damage than a .17HMR and less damage than a .223, so the whole "are guns more lethal than knives or not" depends on a lot of things

[QUOTE=Scot;39245183]Yes thank you for backing up my argument.[/QUOTE] anyone arguing that a knife is more deadly than a gun is bullshitting. does something being more deadly make it grounds for being banned? nah, I dont think so.

[QUOTE=Scot;39245192]Times change.[/QUOTE] People change, what a fraud Barack Obama turned out to be. What a hypocrite and a liar.

I'm sorry, but I seriously don't see any reason why any citizen needs an assault weapon.

[QUOTE=UziXxX;39245214]People change, what a fraud Barack Obama turned out to be. What a hypocrite and a liar.[/QUOTE] Welcome to politics.

A person hellbent on spree killing is going to find a way to do it regardless of law.

[QUOTE=UziXxX;39245180][video=youtube;0CcIkuxBYkg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CcIkuxBYkg[/video][/QUOTE] How is he doing any of that? Are you going to be disallowed to have a gun? No. Are you going to be disallowed to have a rifle? No. You just can't have certain guns, big whoop.

[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;39245215]I'm sorry, but I seriously don't see any reason why any citizen needs an assault weapon.[/QUOTE] I'll explain why I seriously do when you explain why a citizen needs a sports car than tops out above 150mph

[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;39245215]I'm sorry, but I seriously don't see any reason why any citizen needs an assault weapon.[/QUOTE] Another one buys into media sensationalism without doing their own research. Keep on truckin' johnlmonkey

[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;39245215]I'm sorry, but I seriously don't see any reason why any citizen needs an assault weapon.[/QUOTE] Because Obama is going to turn into Hitler 2 of course.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;39245127]It's not weak at all, lol, maybe listen to the shit you're spewing before you call someone else out.[/QUOTE] If that's not a weak argument, what if the knife broke or it slipped from his hands and slid under somewhere he couldn't reach? Yeah, its a pretty damn weak argument.

[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;39245215]I'm sorry, but I seriously don't see any reason why any citizen needs an assault weapon.[/QUOTE] What is an "assault weapon" in your mind? Can't everything be an assault weapon if you use it as a weapon to assault someone? Just because a weapon is military [I]style[/I] does not make it an assault weapon.

[QUOTE=ducklingqt;39245231]How is he doing any of that? Are you going to be disallowed to have a gun? No. Are you going to be disallowed to have a rifle? No. You just can't have certain guns, big whoop.[/QUOTE] With an AWB, you are disallowed to have a rifle that looks scary.

[QUOTE=OvB;39245226]You could sharpen a butter knife in your garage and go on a stabbing spree and do more damage than a gun. A person hellbent on spree killing is going to find a way to do it regardless of law.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure that's true but I 100% believe that banning guns is going to have a minimal impact on crime.

[QUOTE=Craig Willmore;39245205]anyone arguing that a knife is more deadly than a gun is bullshitting. [B]does something being more deadly make it grounds for being banned? nah, I dont think so.[/B][/QUOTE] You're "supporting" the guy who said that knives and bows are less effective at killing than guns.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;39245246]I'm not sure that's true but I 100% believe that banning guns is going to have a minimal impact on crime.[/QUOTE] Since a lot of it is handgun related, yeah you're right.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;39245234]Another one buys into media sensationalism without doing their own research. Keep on truckin' johnlmonkey[/QUOTE] Actually I've done my own research, I had to write many a paper and even a mock bill on assault weapons. Seriously, just because we don't agree doesn't mean I'm a pawn of "sensationalist media". Not everyone that disagrees with you is an idiot, just saying.

[QUOTE=Apache249;39245262]You're "supporting" the guy who said that knives and bows are less effective at killing than guns.[/QUOTE] Do you seriously not believe that because if so I think you need to get your head checked immediately. I am worried for your health.

[QUOTE=OvB;39245245]With an AWB, you are disallowed to have a rifle that looks scary.[/QUOTE] Didn't Clinton make an AWB, and didn't it only run out recently? How did you guys live during that time it was banned?

[QUOTE=Scot;39245236]Because Obama is going to turn into Hitler 2 of course.[/QUOTE] See, the sad thing is this is the argument I've gotten from a ton of people, they legitimately fear a second hitler and the government becoming some violent dictatorship, it is beyond ridiculous.
