You can not have it both ways Larkinn.
As was mentioned before -- he believes what he wants to believe regaredless of what he has to support it or what everidence there is to the contrary.You can not have it both ways Larkinn.
And thats a stupid idea. You have this idea of criminals as all being cold calculating individuals who plan their crimes months in advance. Most crimes are done spur of the moment and involve alcohol. Yes, the criminals really are acting so terribly rationally. By the way...assuming everyone has a gun will change criminals MO drastically. They will just kill their victims first no matter what.
Link to this "fact"? No? Didn't think so. If they are well off enough to spend several hundred on a gun, I'm sure they can manage to get to the next town over.
Link to evidence of this? No? Didn't think so. This is a ridiculous statement.
Right...more unsupported assertions. Glory be.

Given that, you're wasting your time.
Hey Larkin...I've been reading your posts and have a few questions for you...You married?...Got any children at home?...If a drunk (according to you) low life drug addict high on drugs broke into your house while you were there and got to your kitchen and grabbed a knife out of your droor because he heard you comming to check out what the noise was and you startled him as you turned on the light...You want a gun or do you want to die???cause either way is ok with me!
I would rather be reassured he doesn't have a gun considering I have other things to do besides get trained in guns so that I can defend myself.
And your ok with someone dying because they disagree with you? Pathetic.
Pathetic...You are what is known in my circle of friends as "CANNON FODER"! You have no balls and hide the fact that you don't believe your own life is worth saving, behind satirical innuendos and fear.
Too scared to actually take care of business. Afraid of living and afraid of dying...So, why should I care if you get a gun and defend yourself, or stupid up and just sit on this message board all day and let life run you over like a steam roller??? Get busy living or get busy dying but let those of us who believe in saving our own lives and the lives of our loved ones have our guns.
Some people don't have the mental or emotional maturity to take responsibility for their own self-defense.Pathetic...You are what is known in my circle of friends as "CANNON FODER"!

These people, knowing they are wholly depedent on others to protect them, insist on forcing those of us that DO have the mental and emotional maturity to take responsibility for our own self-defense to become as wholly depenent on others as they are -- that is, they project their mental and emotional weaknesses on the rest of us.
They think:
"If -I- don't have the mental or emotional maturity to take responsibility for my own self-defense, then certainly these nuckle-draggers don't. They must be saved from themselves!"
Now remind us why 50000 accidental deaths a year are acceptable with cars but 1000 a year due to guns is not?
I know...Gandhi and MLK were so mentally and emotionally immature
Sorry I have other things to do with my time besides learn how to kill people. We don't live in the jungle anymore, we live in a civilized society. Some animals like you haven't learned how to adapt to that yet.
You have emotional and mental maturity? The way you are spewing bullshit here I wouldn't guess it. From the low degree of rationality in your posts I'd rather you not have a gun.
Ooooh, and now your clairvoyant. Tell me what else I think massah.
So...Without getting into the whole argument, this one is easy. Simply, the economic benefits of the transportation system far outweigh the benefits of gun ownership. More people would be worse off if we prohibited all driving than if we prohibited all gun ownership.
Ooooh another psycho-analyst. Tell me more oh wise Lookout.
See I'd rather live in a life where I don't need a gun to protect myself. In fact I've never needed one to protect myself, nor has anyone that I know. Lmao...you think I sit on here all day? I come here in between studying for a law degree. I know, I know...cowardly really, but what can I do.
So...
Its OK for people to die, so long as enough people benefit from whatever killed them?
So a knife or a fork or a shovel or a club or hell a broken glass can not kill you? Can not injure you?
Hell you can be beaten to death with bare hands as well. Last I checked someone high on drugs isn't going to be easily put down if all you have is a broomstick.
The point being a GUN can do NOTHING without some PERSON using it. And your assumption that simply having a gun ensures more murder, more robberies, more crime is ignorant and also completely unproven. MOST crimes are in fact committed with NO firearm at all.
As to accidents. lets do that math again shall we....
I will take the conservative estimate of the number of weapons in civilian hands ( law abiding). that would be 200 million. Now generally the accident rate fluxs between 800 and maybe 1200 a year, so we will round to 1000.
Do I need to tell you the percentage of 1000 compared to 200 million? That is .000005 . That is right, so insignificant a percentage as to be meaningless. And if we change the accidental deaths to total population it gets even smaller.
Now remind us why 50000 accidental deaths a year are acceptable with cars but 1000 a year due to guns is not? Why a 16 year old can buy a car as long as they have a drivers license and the money BUT a 21 year old can not buy a pistol unless he waits at least 5 days, has a criminal background check run , is barred if he is a felon or has ever been convicted of family disturbance and has to have a permission slip from the local Sheriff? Ohh I forgot, if he has ever been committed to a mental facility or adjudged incompetent. None of those reason stop a 16 year old from buying a car in a matter of minutes.
Further of the two events, owning a firearm is a PROTECTED right of the Constitution, while no one has a RIGHT to own a car.
So...
Its OK for people -- a LOT of people -- to die, so long as 'enough' people benefit from whatever killed them?
What happened to "if it saves one life'?
Without getting into the whole argument, this one is easy. Simply, the economic benefits of the transportation system far outweigh the benefits of gun ownership. More people would be worse off if we prohibited all driving than if we prohibited all gun ownership.
How sensitive, compassionate and courageous of you.In short, yes.
