Another school shooting

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

So you guys are really comparing heroin to booze huh? That seems like a stretch....

[Mrs. Gooch]

So you guys are really comparing heroin to booze huh? That seems like a stretch....

How many people have died in alcohol related deaths and how many in heroine related deaths?

[michigancat]

You tried to contrast them but your facts were completely wrong.

A lot more alcohol related. A lot more.

Unforunately about 90 people died in car crashes today.  Many of them kids who had no choice. T's and P's to the families.

dangit, emo's seppuku was the perfect end to this thread. i was hoping for a lock.

The animated gun violence was a pretty rich addition to this thread.

But, speaking of rich, I don't think he could have exited the thread without reminding everybody that he somehow finds a way to spend $12,000 a year on bird hunting. That's what the whole freeloading mountain bikers/birders/rock climbers/paddle boarders tangential diatribe was building up to, right?

crap's changed, man.  Kids. 

Don't tell Mrs. Gooch.

(Actually though I'm kinda getting into new stuff these days.  I need to make a post in the vision quest thread.)

A screaming kid scares away all the animals you are trying to kill.

I hope emo doesn't leave his guns around for the kid to find and shoot other little kids with

Fortunately only 86 died.  Also a tragedy.

[michigancat]

I wonder how the death rates of people who were shot at compared to the death rates of people who rode in cars.

[wetwillie]

Deaths per gun owned you mean?

I used heroin as an example saying the potential existence of a black market for contraband is a silly reason, in and of itself, to keep something legal.  There are good reasons that people should be allowed to have guns.  "People will break the law if we make the the thing illegal" isn't one of them. 

Note: i'm not saying take all the guns.  i'm saying that some regulation on ammunition would be a good idea to curb the problem of so many damn bullets ending up in human bodies.

Deaths per gun owned you mean?

no, just ones used. Like with cars.

not every gun is used to shoot at people

true! you bring up a great point!

gun owners should cover the cost when they purchase a gun.

Just like people who choose to vote pay a poll tax to cover the costs of an election.

Wanna get exercise your right to a jury trial, better be willing to pay for the jury!

That's a more important right than owning a gun. So is voting. Gun ownership is a pretty silly right compared to these, really.

Well guns are right #2 and jury is, like, 6th, so your point is stupid even on that level

They ordered them wrong

[michigancat]

They were rough ridin' humans, they mumped up sometimes.

The second ammendment was a knee jerk reaction.
