Stupid Gun news of the day (Part 1)

You can substitute a whole lot of words for “guns” in your sentence still make sense without anyone asking for a ban. Off the top of my head: skateboards, roller blades, bicycles, motorcycles, skis, snowboards, alcohol, power tools, yet none of those can have the potential to save lives the way guns can.

They all broke basic safety rules. People who break basic gun safety rules are irresponsible gun owners the moment they break them, not the moment an accident happens. Agree or no?

The Arkansas Legislature will probably pass a bill allowing concealed carry at colleges and universities.

Who in the hell wants to hand a guy a failed final if he is carrying? :slight_smile:

If a guy intends to shoot his professor do you think he cares if it’s a gun free zone?

Might be an impulse thing when he gets a failing grade. :slight_smile:

Do you usually get your grade right when you hand in your final?

This is frequently claimed. I was interested then to see the CCWs among this week’s gun fails, including theone who brandished her weapon at Chuck E Cheese’s.

No, I’m talking about passing them out afterwards.

So, damn, passing out grades on a regular test.

Touchy, aren’t we?

I’m a gun owner, but check the name of the thread. :slight_smile:

Cool, but I’m in favor of guns on college campuses. This is what I think of gun free zones:

Is there one specific source for your pre-packaged talking points, or are they drawn for a variety of sources?

I try to be eclectic? How about you “liberal democrats R us?”

It’s remarkable; when Kable is talking, you can’t even see Wayne LaPierre’s lips move.

Guns don’t save lives. People save lives.

I like the way you put that! So guns don’t kill either, people do.

I think this was one of Wayne’s best points:

Check the other end.

That’s cold, man!
:slight_smile:

That is such an astounding statement (bolding mine) that I would love to see your citation for that factoid. For your edification here is a site that details quite more than 1 crime committed by those with ccw between May 2007 and November 2012: http://www.vpc.org/ccwkillers.htm

Then according to many, you are a gun-grabbing lefty, who only supports licensing because that will lead to registration which will lead to confiscation, which will lead to Hitler.

It’s time that you (and the rest of the majority gun owners who are reasonable and responsible) take the conversation away from the loons who want to see no gun legislation of any kind, ever.

Again, you are debating like a junior high school student.

“skateboards, roller blades, bicycles, skis, snowboards” = recreational equipment that does not really have very much potential to kill another person.

“motorcycles” = must have a license, must have registration and insurance, must follow all road rules and must wear a helmet.

“power tools” = this one is just stupid.

“alcohol” = certainly causes damage, especially when combined with vehicles. Are you trying to argue here that since alcohol misuse causes damage, therefore we should not try to mitigate any damage caused by other things (like guns?). So if a murder happens, we might as well not try to enforce any laws at all?

Well, Hitler 2.0, of course.

Sure - that’s just a divide and conquer strategy. They may be crazy ass gun nuts, but they’re his crazy ass gun nuts.
