why mental health checks for guns can't pass muster....

Defense: (locks)

Offense: (guns)

what is the purpose of a sword?

You tell me, is it for Defense? Or to kill the enemy with?

Just look them, charging forward to "protect" themselves or, maybe not...

what was a bow and arrow designed for? Seems your gun fetish isn't the only tool you should be looking at eliminating. Seems there are back ups.

Then you have to get rid of knives, you know Jack the ripper style attacks. then what, baseball bats, then clubs, hammers, axes, chain saws, mowers, chipping machines, long sticks, seems there is almost nothing that can't be a weapon. even a tootbrush handle

What can be used as a weapon is not the same is what is designed as a weapon. I'm okay with banning swords as well, they just don't kill 30,000 people a year here...

Bees kill...

Yeah, not equal...

• A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.
  • This is not a statement that appears in any translation of any of Freud's works. It is a paraphrase of a statement from the essay "Guns, Murders, and the Constitution" (February 1990) by Don B. Kates, Jr. where Kates summarizes his views of passages in Dreams in Folklore (1958) by Freud and David E. Oppenheim, while disputing statements by Emmanuel Tanay in "Neurotic Attachment to Guns" in a 1976 edition of The Fifty Minute Hour: A Collection of True Psychoanalytic Tales (1955) by Robert Mitchell Lindner:

Dr. Tanay is perhaps unaware of — in any event, he does not cite — other passages more relevant to his argument. In these other passages Freud associates retarded sexual and emotional development not with gun ownership, but with fear and loathing of weapons. The probative importance that ought to be attached to the views of Freud is, of course, a matter of opinion. The point here is only that those views provide no support for the penis theory of gun ownership.
Due to misreading of this essay and its citations, this paraphrase of an opinion about Freud's ideas has been wrongly attributed to Freud himself, and specifically to his 10th Lecture "Symbolism in Dreams" in General Introduction to Psychoanalysis on some internet forum pages: alt.quotations, uk.politics.guns, talk.politics.guns, can.talk.guns , etc.
One of the statements by Freud which Kates summarized from in Dreams in Folklore (1958), p. 33, reads: "The representation of the penis as a weapon, cutting knife, dagger etc., is familiar to us from the anxiety dreams of abstinent women in particular and also lies at the root of numerous phobias in neurotic people."

His "pont" is a lie, since Freud never said anything remotely like that.

what was a bow and arrow designed for? Seems your gun fetish isn't the only tool you should be looking at eliminating. Seems there are back ups.

Then you have to get rid of knives, you know Jack the ripper style attacks. then what, baseball bats, then clubs, hammers, axes, chain saws, mowers, chipping machines, long sticks, seems there is almost nothing that can't be a weapon. even a tootbrush handle

The purpose of a gun is to kill. Like a biological weapon you don't need that to go to the Walmart, especially when no one else has one either.
