You keep claiming that you have debunked my contention that common sense laws are a bad idea. I'm still waiting.
I’m still waiting for you to put forward a common sense law…
I said lethal. Are you suggesting that a handgun is something other than lethal? I must have missed something. enlighten me as to the real reason hand guns were designed? I'll hold my breath.
Wait, let me get a handle on this logic. Cars kill 150% more people than firearms, but a gun is more lethal, in you opinion? A gunshot wound is fatal less than half the time, despite what you saw on CSI this week, but because a car is presumably built with a “less lethal” purpose, it’s not as dangerous as a firearm?
Did you really take a minute to digest my point. Honestly, heal thyself.
I’ll take your concession here, since you refused to address the point.
You show me where I claimed this. All I suggested was to require a simple safety class before issuing a permit. I never said anything about "controlling firearms or making them more difficult to obtain". If your idea of difficult to obtain is passing a simple safety test, well hell I guess I'm Hitler then.
would this safety course have prevented this tragedy? Probably not. Could it prevent others? In my opinion yes.
This is precisely what I mean. Gun nuts will not discuss this issue with any rational thought.
You claimed it right here:
Shall I list countries with stricter gun control laws that have a lower rate of murders? No of course you wouldn't want to go there.
You implied that more gun control had a correlation to crime rate and then danced around answering when you were called to actually back up your statement.
I’ll take your bait, how would a licensing process like what one goes through for a vehicle have kept this kid from taking a gun to school?
Honestly, I think it would be hilarious if guns had the same licensing process as cars.
No one of any age would need a permit or training to own and operate a gun on private property.
There would be no requirement to register any gun kept on that private property.
The only restrictions on what a person could buy would be limited by depth of their wallet.
There would be no background check for purchases and no database of who bought what and no restrictions on who a person could buy from.
They could take their gun to all 50 states without having to go through a different licensing process in each state.
All this for a 30 minute range test and a couple multiple choice questions to get licensed? Maybe you’re on to something here… or maybe you just haven’t thought this through, like the rest of your argument.
