Would the psycho at Virginia Tech in 2007 have been able to take out more than 30 people if was armed with steak knives? Or ropes? Or foul language?
Didn't think so.
I'm pro firearms. I've served in the military. I've handled weapons.
Don't for one FUCKING minute tell me that crime would be just as bad if guns were no longer available.
Complete bullshit.
First of all, speaking for myself here, I am not a gun-lover. It makes you look weak and ignorant when you describe people who understand they can't depend upon others for to protect the safety, property, and freedom. I am not a gun lover - I don't even like guns in particular. But I am an effective self-defense lover because I am a hater of making the job of bad guys easier. I am anti-defenselessness and anti-helplessness. Not a "gun lover." I am for my elderly parents having more than a cell phone and karate at their disposal. Does that make you an anti-elderly self-defense person? Now, as for your point, freedom comes at a cost. There will always be those who break the law and abuse freedom. You don't dismantle a basic right or freedom because others abuse it or mistakes and accidents happen. That is why we do not get rid of dogs or pools even though more kids die of pool drownings and dog attacks than weapons in many neighborhoods.
