Quote: Quote: What kind of misbegotten logic is that? What don't we just make murder legal then?You wrote that just because states allow guns into bars that it doesn't mean people will do it. So I pointed out how illogical that statement was with an analogy to show how absurd you're being: just because we make murder legal doesn't mean people will do it can be justified by that same logic. Anyway, why would anyone pass a law to allow guns into bars unless some people desired to bring guns into bars? Quote: Quote: Just because you allow murder doesn't mean that people will do it. RidiculousSo you're arguing that murder should be made legal? Quote: Quote: Purposely allowing guns into bars is the equivalent of selling guns to a drunk. 95% of the people in bars are there to drink alcohol.Of course it's not mandatory. How can the government force you to buy guns and bring them some place? Being mandatory has nothing to do with it being a bad idea. Quote: Quote: No. That's not what driving tests are for at all. Anyone can learn how to drive without a test. A test gives you a license and without a license, you're driving illegally.So? Quote: Quote: What's your point?So any time anyone can use something responsibly, then it shouldn't be made illegal? Yet you agreed that machine guns shouldn't be legal. Why not? You agreed nuclear weapons shouldn't be legal? Why not? How about grenades? Rocket launchers? My point is simply that if something can be abused seriously enough, it's a moot point whether others can use that something responsibly and that can't be a reason to justify making something legal. By your standard, nothing can be made illegal. Quote: Quote: If they never have to use their guns, then they don't need themSo let's look at your reason as to whether they counter the point of having training with a gun. If you buy a gun for protection, then you should have training. What would be the point of buying something for protection that you don't know how to use and you don't know how to keep yourself safe from? Quote: police officers don't use their guns, but they still need them.Are you retarded? Police officers get training! Quote: There are also people who have insurance that they never use.You obviously don't understand the concept of insurance. Quote: A training course would be beneficial, but certainly can't be made mandatory.Of course it CAN be made mandatory. Other countries have made it mandatory. Quote: Quote: In fact, the police in many countries don't carry guns.That's a non sequitur and completely irrelevant to the point I was making. Quote: Quote: If cops misuse their weapons, that is in spite of their training. Gun owners should all receive trainingThey are not so different that training wouldn't make one a more responsible gun owner. Quote: Also, cops have no legal obligation to protect you.Another non sequitur that's completely irrelevant to the point I was making. Quote: Quote: But more people don't have guns. The rate of gun ownership has been on the decline.You obviously have no idea how these things work. Quote: And no, guns will not just go away, people have been trying for decades. Sorry! And one thing that you don't note about gun crime is that it usually occurs in poor areas and how it is connected to poverty. No amount of gun laws are going to help if you still have those conditions.That's unproven. Quote: Quote: So you're against all illicit drugs being illegal. You think heroine should be legal?Wow. So you don't think there are things that are so dangerous that they should be outlawed? People can become addicted to heroine after only a few tries and people can overdose on heroine on their first try. Quote: Quote: When has the Second Amendment been amended?That's not amending anything. An Amendment is a very specific thing in American jurisprudence. Quote: Quote: Because, contrary to your claims, suicide in the vast majority of instances, is a very bad thing,You were trying to make suicide less egregious by citing euthanasia. Quote: Quote: and justifiable homicide is a very rare thing.Wrong. Less than 1% of intentional shootings are in self-defense: http://politicsthatwork.com/graphs/gun-suicide-murder-defense Quote: Quote: All you're arguing is that because stricter gun laws wouldn't solve everything, we shouldn't have them.It doesn't have to stop them altogether. If stricter gun laws reduced their number, that is something important right there. | |||||||
