Aurora Shooting

[j-dub]

The "we should all carry guns" argument is so Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) and over blown. Cool, so anytime someone gets in a argument, they just wip out their pistol, and end it. 

Is that would you would do if you had a gun?  No wonder you find fault with this logic with you're warped perspective...  I've never really had issues with self esteem... and carrying a gun doesn't make me feel powerful. But it does make me feel prepared.

I bet 7/10 people with a CCL piss down their leg if they actually have to shoot someone

Hell, i definitely would.

I don't think I could go from sharing a 2 for 20 with Stevesie at my local Applebees to OKAY TIME TO SHOOT AND KILL THIS CRAZY PERSON WHO ALSO HAS A GUN in an instant.

bet that is adorable as it sounds 

Batman still doesn't kill people, Fanning.

nor does he believe in using guns /thread

[Dugout DickStone]

You have to be super paranoid to think you need a gun on you at all times.

I bet you sleep with a gun under your pillow.

My dad has a cabin on 100 acres out in the middle of nowhere Kansas, and when I go sleep there it always scares the crap out of me when I lay down and find a kimber .45 (same pistol LA SWAT uses im told) 2 inches from my head.

What a relaxing getaway.

So now that we've got parenting and gun control out of the way, what's next? Abortion?

He went after EMAW.

That mother rough rider, crap just got personal. Buying batman suit now and ordering architect layout on his prison as we speak.

Batman does what's needed in the new era. Look it up. Plus, didn't he kill the joker in the last movie? I'm too lazy to look it up.

Nope, sent him back to Arkham.

[puniraptor]

yeah, he actually saves him from dying, which is at least opposite from killing him

Please do not make this about abortion

murder is post-birth abortion

[SkinnyBenny]

Let's cut through the bullshit, okay?  If some one in the crowd had a gun and was accurate and willing to shoot then yes, it would have been a good thing that night.  Some people would have been saved.  I wish there was some one in that particular theater who had a gun.  Anyone arguing otherwise is kidding themselves.

The issue, though, is that a culture wherein people habitually carry around guns to movie theaters and churches and college campuses and wherever a mass murder might next occur is probably more dangerous and definitely makes people (myself included) uneasy.  I'm trying to imagine how that society might look, and I'm sure people like Heinballz and myself have two very different visions.

In my opinion I think it's extremely unhealthy for a society that encourages a sort of day-to-day individual quasi-brinksmanship/mutually assured destruction.

I may be in love w/ dlew

You know they measure for simple factors like population density, right?

#1, Mississippi
Gun deaths per 100,000: 18.3


#2, Arizona
Gun deaths per 100,000: 15


#3, Alaska
Gun deaths per 100,000: 17.6


#4, Arkansas
Gun deaths per 100,000: 15.1


#5, Louisiana
Gun deaths per 100,000: 19.9


#6, New Mexico
Gun deaths per 100,000: 15


#7, Alabama
Gun deaths per 100,000: 17.6
Permissive gun laws: 27th out of 50


#8, Nevada
Gun deaths per 100,000: 16.2


#9, Montana
Gun deaths per 100,000: 14.5


#10, Wyoming
Gun deaths per 100,000: 14.5


#21, Kansas

#45, New York
Gun deaths per 100,000: 5.1


#46, New Jersey
Gun deaths per 100,000: 5.2

The highest number you've cited here is Louisiana. I live in New Orleans, feel like I have a pretty good sense of its population, and there's no rough ridin' way I want everyone here carrying guns. Louisiana is a state where people have the freedom to walk around drinking open containers wherever, and whenever they want. It gets abused, and 99% of the people are shitfaced 24/7. If everyone had a gun here, it would be a complete disaster, and not just because everyone's drunk; it would be a complete disaster because everyone here's an idiot.

Also, WTF, #1 MS has 18.3, but #5 LA has 19.9?  Obviously Paul Moscowitz pulled this crap from his ass.

[HeinBallz]

Here's what people don't understand.   Those people you don't want to have a gun, DO HAVE A GUN.  That's why it's "Conceal" and carry. You think people know when I am and am not carrying? 

Can you not accept that the people that are willing to break the laws and are walking around drunk 24/7 down in Na'leans already have guns on them - illegally?  You - or any other person willing to follow the law - do not have a gun.   I don't think you should, because obviously you can't handle having a gun; but jesus christ, these nascar fan, natty light, red neck douchebags you're wanting to legislate ways to prevent having guns - already have them - and law abiding citizens do not. 

[SkinnyBenny]

Tons of people who commit gun crimes in New Orleans have their guns legally.

can confirm. i've never seen anywhere promote "get crap faced" like louisiana.

Are they carrying them legally?   Because I bet not.

[mocat]

I really hate the "well criminals will just get their guns illegally anyway, so there's no reason to ban guns" argument. Especially since this psycho bought them all legally.

Welp, may as well make murder legal since "criminals will just do it illegally anyway"

That is a dumb argument. Two completely different things.

people would really shape up if murder was legal. I mean dlew's server WOULD NOT bring out the app's too close to the 'trees if he knew there was a possibility that dlew would murder him w/o repercussions.

Yeah, it's awful.

[SkinnyBenny]

So to the gun nut d00dz here: where do you stand on banning things like assault rifles or whatever, but keeping handguns legal? Is that a compromise you'd be willing to make?



Also, this is only tangentially related but it is super awesome so here you go. My friend went to Thailand and he went to a gun range place on some guy's farm where you can pay $50 to shoot a bazooka and an extra $50 to shoot that bazooka all the way across the field and try to hit a cow!

Wow.  $50 seems really cheap for that.

Ranking also takes into account permissive gun laws - 25%. Other 75% is gun deaths per thousand.

Please define assault rifle.   Because here's a dirty little secret for you; "assault rifles" ARE illegal - but I guarantee you "assault rifles" are not legally defined how you think they are.

[puniraptor]

Even "assault weapons" as banned in the assault weapons ban could still be legally purchased, just no longer manufactured. He could still have legally purchased this AR-15 it just would have cost alot more.
