By opting out of owning guns, you're giving us a power monopoly.

Wrong. If an area is known as a high violent crime area, are you saying you'd encourage your wife or daughter to walk that area late at night alone when the streets are empty of other foot traffic?
Make no mistake, it's never the fault of the victim. Any violent crime is the fault of the scumbag who commits the crime. But there are common sense things even LE would suggest doing to avoid potential bad situations.

 

True, the town I live in had one back in 2010. It involved a coach raping one of his athletes. Point being, rape isn't something the women of my town are concerned about.

 

You want all these changes to law, but you don't want to debate law?

You sound like my ex.

'I hate this.'

'What do you want instead?'

'Stop asking questions and make me happy.'

...

 

You know this is not true.

 

Perhaps, like me, your ex has already debated the issues with you, ad nauseum. And recognizes that there is no point to further debate.

 

Touche'!

 

Why does this matter?

 

Because the world doesnt work the way either of you think it should.

What you want is an America without a gun culture.

 

Unsupportable nonsense.
For every gun used to commit murder, ~8 are used in self-defense
For every gun used to commit suicide, ~4 are used in self-defense.

 

Define "sensible" gun policy.

 

It doesn't. What matters is the contrasted homicides prevented by gun ownership, an incalculable figure.

 

I like hamburger and steak, that doesn't mean I want to work in an abattoir

 

Ammosexuality, about the only perversion I know of that has it its own lobby in Washington

 

The LBGTQXYZ community takes offense at your professed ignorance.

 

In view of the lefts recent attempt to steal the presidency being armed against their slide toward communism is what the second amendment is all about.

 

Indeed, in the US (not the 'world'), it doesn't. I'm fully aware of that. You are happy with the gun culture in this country - I am not. I don't share your enthusiasm, and I know you will not see it from my view. So debating you on it is futile.

 

So wait, you gun advocates really DO want to kill us all? Hell, I was beginning to think I really WAS an hysterical hyperbolist. Wow, good thing to know I've been right all along.

I mean, why does it even occur to you to talk in these terms. By not owning a gun I'm giving you power over me? You think that?

This sort of veiled threat is EXACTLY why people like me think all your guns should be taken away...NOW, before you kill everyone you come across one Saturday, which is what you all REALLY want to do, and you just said so yourself

If it comes down to a push becoming a shove I'm putting my money on the USG to protect me from gun nuts over doing it myself any day. I gotta sleep sometime.

 

Of that number, how many of the events are classified as suicide?

Part of life being sacred, the right to life as it were, is respecting the decision of individuals who choose to opt out of continued existence and end their life. To do otherwise, and insist that those who wish to end their own existence must instead continue existing based on the ideals and desires of others, is to hold that life not sacred.

 

Following such logic, female individuals willingly choose to be subjected to sexual assault.

 

That is only logical to you.

 

Those that lobby on behalf of the pornography industry would beg to differ.

 

And you're right! Baaaa, BAAAAAAAAA!

 

Then what is being stated on the part of yourself, is that an individual who has been sexually assaulted could have done otherwise and not made subject to such?

 

Considering it's an OPINION topic created by modernpaladin the answer would logically be ANYONE wanting to enter into the conversation!

Hope this helps, interweb forums is hard!

 

The LBGTQ community and the ammosexuals are not known for getting along.

Is that your gun, or are you just happy to...oh, wait, that is your gun, sorry
