Mankind invented firearms because mankind has a long history of engaging in warfare and firearms gave armed forces who possessed them, a distinct advantage over those who did not.
Mankind has the ability to design and construct tools and machines of far greater complexity than any other creature on the planet, and we do. Firearms are designed to be used to kill.
You can take your firearm to the local gun club for target practise, but Psychopaths take their weapons to the local school, shopping mall, cinema etc. to perform a concert recital.

Can I please make this clear for you? Once a weapon,any weapon has been invented and is in the hands of someone looking to use it to gain a dominance over another,human nature tells you to succumb to the weapon holders wishes if you have no way of getting away alive.Or possibly dying defending yourself. There is NO going back to primitive weapons. AKA Never bring a knife to a gunfight.For the most part my gun stays at home. If it is used on someone it will be in my house and you are there for criminal purposes. I sleep well at night knowing that I am protecting my family. That is until I get a call from the gun-hating neighbor in the middle of the night to please help him with the intruder who just broke in. Police will be there in 10 minutes. Can you afford to wait? Sorry but I believe in the old adage....better to be judged by 6 than carried by 6.

Psychopaths or Guns? How does a Psychopath acquire a permit to be a Psychopath? Maybe BAN Psychopaths. Yeah, That's the ticket. Not the guns.

Ever think why the USA has never been Officially Invaded by another Military. Maybe it's because the citizens are the best armed in the world. So the military is one issue and the citizens may be a bigger issue.

Recall the Movie Red Dawn. Invaded by Mexico and Russia, the first thing was to acquire the registered gun owners' firearms.

Maybe a Plan.

Automobile accidents kill more people each year than gun shots.
What about Banning Autos? Makes as much sense to me.

This type of reasoning is absurd. Of course it is people who kill other people. No one in their right mind would dispute that. And a large number of murderers use guns as their weapon of choice to commit these murders. A Gun is a tool that is designed for a specific purpose.
It is the availability of these weapons in society. Do you keep strychnine injected candy in your cupboard? They never kill people. It's just your grandchildrens fault if they come over and raid the kitchen cupboard. It's not the poison candy's fault. Poisoned candy has never killed anyone.

Jade, you are the proverbial breath of fresh air in an airless room. The cliches of the pro-gun crowd gush out at such a pace here, it's become a form of ubiquitous projectile ranting. Puerile, too. These folk actually think little squibs like the I-left-the-gun-on-the-porch-and-it-didn't-do-anything bon mot that started this thread are clever and devastatingly effective---so much so that they actually repeat the banality over and over in "subtle" variations on the theme (I left my AR-15 in the barn; I left mine in the closet, I left mine in the glove compartment, and on and on in its endless progression of "creative argument" ). This passes among the gun-bearers as Lapierrian "wit." Not a stitch of logic brought to bear, or countenanced when used, as you have, so effectively and without rancor---just the endless, no-variation, regurgitation of NRA and Fox News claptrap. Wingnut whining and chest-thumping. Depressing as hell.

I'm afraid, Jade (as I've learned from being here some time now) that you are a voice crying in the desert. You should preserve your vocal chords in this forum, my friend. Your intellect, your logic, and the inherent good sense of your non-frenzied prose will get you . . . precisely nowhere. Best to leave the grunting hunter-gatherers of the Lapierre Tribe to their robotic rants, their AR-15s, & flag-waving irrelevancies; better that you concentrate on the photography. . . .

Good luck to you, Jade. We who are about to be troll-triggered and partisan-pilloried salute you. . . .

Every day I wake up I fear for my life and soul from what these libtards are doing to this country. I don't mean to say such hurtful words but it's true! Guns are not the reason people die, the media is the reason, libtards are the reason and God has been silent for too long. God bless each and every one of you brave souls who keep fighting the good fight.


Bless this country. Tim.

In your own words: the one that possess a gun has a distinct advantage over the one that don't. May not happen in our entire life but been in that kind of situation would you be happy by been totally at disadvantage to defend yourself? We are in a no win situation, I understand that but I do not take chances.

FBTim, You hit the nail on its head. It was the libtards that pushed the "mental defectives should lead a normal life and associate with the general public". Thus, all the insane asylums were closed, the inmates released into the environment where they had access to guns, schools,theaters and other masses of people in gun free zones.

Omgosh! Lol! =D It's one of the tiny island weenies spouting off about something it has zero knowledge of. It allowed itself to be disarmed like a naughty child by its nanny government and now it's trying to feel better about its lack of manhood by lashing out at those willing to take care of themselves and their neighbors without crying out to some government figure for succor. I detest cowards, always have, always will. But please, bleat some more for us, always refreshing and way humorous to read, laddie. Cheers. ;)
