You seem to be mistaking an attack against you're bad argument as a personal attack.

You need to learn the difference.


Tacitly calling me stupid isn't an attack?





You lied in referring to me as a zealot, as I am not one. You also lied when you said that most gun owners support gun control as well.


Neither of those things are lies.



Then when we look a the whole sentence, you are basically saying that I condone killing children because of made up arguments and lies put forth from you. Something that I don't fucking take kindly being refereed too, especially coming from the likes of you.


Start supporting gun control and maybe I'll change my mind...



You lied again in referring to me as a zealot, as I am still not one. You also lied in saying that I would prefer to endanger peoples lives simple so I can keep more magazines. Pretty fucking sure I've never made that argument or anything close to it on here.


In our last altercation on this issue you whined about having to obey laws regarding the size of gun magazines.


I have argued that banning "high cap" mags in the past (Clinton 94 ban) literally did nothing to prevent mass shootings, as shooters literally just carried more spare magazines to compensate and reloaded as they went (Columbine HS).


Laws against murder don't prevent every murder!



As someone who's passed somewhere upwards of 80+ Background checks, including the process to get clearance authorization, pretty fucking sure I've never thrown a "tantrum" once anywhere in that process. So yet again, you are lying through you're teeth in a vein attempt to appeal to emotion.


You complain about background checks all the time.



Do you ever go tired of being wrong all the time? I seriously am curious, as you're batting 0 and 5 at this point with no hope in sight of landing a hit.


More personal attacks.

Seriously, at this point you have done nothing but blatantly lie about me at every turn in a hilariously vein attempt to slander me for whatever fucking stupid reason you have come up with in you're your mind. I think you're time would be better spent pursuing other endeavors, wouldn't you agree?


Not really. Your arguments have been nothing but a vain attempt to slander me as a lair just because I pointed out the negative consequences of your stance. A rather pointless endeavour I must say.

Careful you don't tarnish that halo while standing on that mountain of tragedies Sernarbia.


Tragedies caused in part by lax gun laws.

You seem to be operating under the notion that wanting/not wanting dead babies = pro/anti gun control. One can not want people needlessly dead, and still be opposed to bullshit legislation continuously pushed by the anti's.

Gee, imagine that.....


Not letting crazy people be able to mow down elementary school children is bullshit?

I was talking in general. As I stated earlier in the thread I doubt any gun control laws would have prevented this. But that still isn't a good argument against gun control.

We have not yet developed the technology to observe alternate timelines so your point is moot. Also laws against murder dont stop every murder and seat belt laws dont stop every car crash.

The very same firearm laws that millions of American's abide by, but a couple of nutters with a disregard for human life and it's the fault of the law? To quote Dr. Evil, "Riiiiiiigggghhht!"
Let's place blame where it belongs, squarely on the person(s) responsible, blaming anything else is just plain nuts and has an odor of desperation.

If you weren't here Nationstates wouldn't be an echo chamber because there are people with your views who are far better at arguing it than you.

The position of strawman creator is already taken by others who are far better at it.

Statistically, the number of people using guns in mass murderers is almost nonexistent compared to those of us who don't. Why should we cede rights when we have done nothing wrong?

The logic isn't 100% applicable to all situations.

Sometimes we enact laws because of the 0.0001% of society that ruins it for the rest of us. Often this ruin comes at such a cost to society that the consequences far outweigh individual rights. If you've flown internationally, there is a law stipulating that you can't bring more than 100ml on board an aircraft simple because someone tried to bring liquid explosives on board.

I also don't have a natural right to bring 100ml of fluid on an airplane. I don't even have the natural right to be on the airplane at all. So the comparison makes sense how?

Fair warning, I don't think you want to use the TSA (or other airport security) as your example of why guns should be regulated.

Y'know, considering that they're utter garbage.

Having to register your guns is ceding rights?

Yes. You do not have any such compulsion. Required registration creates a restriction where none existed before. You currently have a privacy interest (a right), granted by the government, in not registering your firearm. Creating such a compulsion therefore cedes a right granted by the government.

In a sense, yes. I think a majority of Americans like excising their enumerated right to privacy, let alone registration would have zero effect on crime. California has had handgun registration since 1909 and it has had zero impact on violent crimes. Face it, the only reason for a firearm registry; to be used as a tool by the govt to confiscate.
