    Tesla will solve that.

    We have MANY epidemics. But the gun epidemic is the one that, not only are we doing nothing to solve, we are actually making it WORSE! That.. and the white supremacist terrorism epidemic. Others... we are taking steps to solve.

    Rocks would serve the same function.

    Your statement implied that the only way in which anybody could be charged was if they actually walked up to the kid and asked them to kill 4 people.

    I'm happy to see you walking back your stupid comment. Unfortunately, we can't take back the belly laugh it produced.

    When someone is breaking into your house, be sure and let us all know how rocks work out.

    I have no problem with well-trained law enforcement officers having guns.

    White supremacist terrorist epidemic? Man, they got you bought and paid for. Good example of gaslighting at work.

    There is no right to bear arms against a rabbit. Or to bear arms against a target. Or even to bear arms against a wall. So if "collecting" is the reason you buy guns, then shifting to collecting postage stamps would save thousands of lives. So would getting your meat at Publix, or learning to throw darts.

    I don't know about fmw, but me shifting to collecting postage stamps will not save a single life, certainly not thousands of lives.

    Criminals can't steal a gun you don't have.

    Because you aren't responsible for things you do not know and in fact cannot know.

    Yes, I guess if you can only think linearly then that is how it would come across. But unless you can prove that a gun manufacturer knew that this kid was going to do what he did, or even knew the kid at all, AND has responsibility over that kid, then you have nothing.

    Manufacturers are not responsible for how people use their products. You would not hold the same standard to ANY other company that you are to gun manufacturers and you know it.

    Yeah...you go ahead and bring rocks to a gun fight. Let's see how long you survive.

    So, some criminal is going to steal my gun and kill someone? It hasn't happened in the last seventy years. I doubt it will happen in whatever time I have left.

    Why should they be? Are you responsible for that kid killing people? After all, according to your logic you should have been able to stop that kid from even getting a gun.

    Which doesn't negate the fact that criminals can't steal a gun you don't have.

    So, because there is an insignificant chance that a criminal might steal my gun, I am supposed to give up my protection against a criminal??

    Given that our house is alarmed with ADT and I know where my gns are and the criminal does not, I have a very distinct advantage.
