...unless one somehow gets into the hands of a criminal that wants to kill a child. I am sure the mother of the Sandy Hook shooter thought the same thing before her deranged son killed her and used her guns to blow away innocent children.If you knew an assault weapons ban would save one child's life, would you support it. A simple question demanding a simple answer.
If I KNEW that getting rid of ALL my weapons would save one child's life, even if I didn't know that child, I would throw them all in the deepest ocean.
But that's actually the opposite of what I DO know. Which is that NONE of my guns will EVER hurt a child.
Now there you are, thinking I'm in favor of a full ban on firearms. NEVER! I just wanted to point out one flaw in your stated claim that NONE would EVER... What you meant to say was that YOU will NEVER harm a child with your weapons. This too has the possibility of becoming a lie because you may someday go berserk and kill your whole family and go looking for the neighbor's children.
The point is, the guns just don't jump up and go kill children. The killing is done by the twisted person holding it.
We need to ban twisted people....not guns!
Great post A.
Yup. Lets start executing all the mentally ill and any criminal who has used a gun while committing a crime. That oughta work.
Guns don't kill people. PEOPLE kill people. Simple really. You just have to have the brains to understand that little fact.
Banning guns won't mean no other child will ever die. Guns are available on the blackmarket all across this country. Criminals know exactly where and how to get em.
Another kneejerk reaction by idiots.
