Yay!
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

Any accident you can walk away from is one I can laugh at.

When the Soviets were in Afghanistan in the 1980's, they used ZSU-23-4's to fire up at the Mujahideen that were firing down at them from the hills and mountains:

Just allow Americans to buy them, problem solved(!)

We should join forces. My platoon of ZSU-23-4's will provide suppressing fire at the upper floors of the hotel, while your grunts fire off AT4's at the lower floors. We'll bring that hotel crashing down in minutes!

...wait, was that not the objective??

Why don't you pro gunners think about other people for a change and actually concede to the pro gun control group? You are the definition of selfish. You would watch a town of 10,000 get executed with semi auto's and still claim "my right over their life" How do I know? Because every mass shooting that makes national news results in you guys going out and buying more guns. Pro gunners tell parents of kids killed in school shootings that they rather have their gun then those kids have their life. Its ducking disgusting.

If the government could guarantee that everyone living inside the USA would be gun free would you support a total gun ban?

No, if everyone in the USA could physically remove every gun from existence I still wouldn't support it. Even if they were able to remove every WEAPON in existence I still wouldn't support it.

Hence why pro gunners support guns over life. See it was not a strawman, after all, it was a solid argument.

Ever heard of a little thing called "Most gun owners have decent humanity"? If anything all the arguments were PRO gun as they show that the world is a violent world and we need to defend ourselves

In other words, your argument was stupid and you can get out of this corner

You just said you would not give up your gun to end all the death and destruction in the world. That's not humanity that brutality

If you can't hunt with a bow and arrow thats your problem and food is at the store. Also you are more likely to have the gun used on you in the home then used against an home invader
