Well seeing as you don't need them it can't do any bad.
Why do you insist on using statements of fact that you can't back up with a source?Ensiferum wrote:Precisely! Thanks for clearing that up. My point is that, if you NEED one you are mentally unstable or insane but if you WANT one that's just normal (1). Let's face it, guns are cool, but there is a difference between thoughts and actions (2).
1) Right...because THAT standard certainly doesn't have any holes in it. Because people don't NEED very much. Food, water, shelter. Why do you need a car? Or a television? Clearly these should be banned as well because you don't NEED them you just WANT them. They're cool, but there is a difference between NEED and WANT.
2) ...Okay? Where did this come from? Left-field, is where this came from.
Yes, wants should be heavily discouraged if not outright banned. You do not need a car. You do not need a computer. They should be restricted. It only makes sense. It doesn't come from left field at all, it's just common sense. It's perfectly fine to like guns, but to need one is not okay. If you need one than you have a mental issue as you think you need it to protect yourself. A sane person doesn't need a gun, they can defend themselves with their bare hands if they need to but in most cases they know they'll be fine whereas gun nuts always think people are after them
