You really have a blind spot here in terms of war, as both a business, and an industry. All I'm really saying is that guns have been around for a relatively short amount of time in terms of killing. The time for guns has been surpassed by other bombs, that's the warfare you are seeing today.
That doesn't change the fact that guns are weapons. It's why they exist.
It's the glamour of the gun that is the problem here. We look at it as sacred. How are you going to fix that? Make it more underground?
That is exactly what I've been saying for a hundred posts now, actually...

A weapon is something that is designed primarily yo injure or kill. A sword or a gun are examples.

Actually guns are like a hundred other weapons. They start out as something useful, and end up being villians in a long plot to kill people. You're debating against bombs made of fertilizer, or Sarin gas, even airplanes directed at the World Trade Centers.

The problem is we have a government heavily invested in manufacturing military weapons. Colt doesn't just come up with an AR 15 because hunters will use it. The AR 15, is a cheaper version of the M 16 which has been replaced with the M 4. So there are thousands of surplus military weapons in the system that we export.
You're not looking at the business of war, or how the United States government itself justifies an armed society.
We could maybe make a discussion about how when our police force changed from revolvers to Glocks they escalated the need for criminals to increase the capacity of the weapons they had.
It's a vicious circle, but if our government really wanted to do something they would address the escalation of violence rather than the weapons.

They are coming for our guns. Anyone ever shoot down a drone?
You have to remember your history. Our government had no problem when they could to order executions or imprisonments of those who they found very inconvenient.
Guns make that task a lot more inconvenient forcing government to act more cautions and more humane in order not to spark violence.

What was the non-weapon use for guns that they "started as"?
The primary use for guns is to kill things. Soldiers, hunters, home defenders. Target practice is a secondary use (and its practice for killing things!)
The primary use for fertilizer and airplanes is not to kill things.
Thats a huge difference.
What you have been saying is that the guns are the problem.
No, I haven't. Check my post history.

get some education in thinking.
Having gun rights is not up to a debate, it's a right.
And education in thinking, that does sound very soviet communist.

So, whenever you want to quit being an idiot, feel free to actually join the adults
You mean adults like you and the 121212, both of whom like to indulge in personal insults against disagreement to further their points... Your points are more sophisticated then say 121212, but still childlike sarcastic insults.
An adult, at least socially in our generation, is someone who can handle responsibility, ability you are not demonstrating.

To blow stuff up, and blow holes in stuff.
You have that blind spot about war.
Nukes started as some do good salvation, now they are a weapon of very mass destruction.
The gun was refined from a cannon.
The projectile isn't relevant.
I'll also say again that the gun, rifle, or cannon have been around a very short time in the big scheme of things, and is very possibly obsolete.
What you have been saying is that the guns are the problem.
No, I haven't. Check my post history.
I have read your comments. If there is a point other than guns bad I'm missing it.

Get off you high horse you suck and so do your anti gay, pro gun opinions.

are you really that clueless? that incapable of debating even say background checks on gun buying, that you have to go this route? if so, you should quit posting for a while, and get some education in thinking.
Many racist bigots like FortHood and others on this forum believe they have the moral high ground. It must be a religious zelot thing!

They are the same dim witted son of a bitch. He's very angry at me, because I got him fired twice. When he was paid to come here and attack conservatives. He's an internet political schiel but sucks at it. He can't engage anyone on a level any deeper than a bedpan. Which is where his posts always end up, just a big ole shit slinging angry protest stink.
I would challenge him to post one thought out post that didn't involve him railing against someone. No I'm not talking about coherence here, just anything even if I didn't agree with he has to say.
Pathetic moron, lunatic. The dim fuck every time he posts in my threads I dislike him then delete. His dislikes goes up while his post count goes down. It gives me great pleasure to delete them.
If this is contest about who can waste the most amount of time, I would still win, because AT LEAST I HAVE JOB!.

Back to work with you. You employed slave.
NOTHING that Obama proposes will interfere with your or my right to own guns. Nothing.
But is any of it effective? Or does that not matter, we just have to do "something".

Tea party talks about small government, private enterprise. Hitler was talking about socializing everything. And by the way, Hitler did disarm civilian population through an equivalent of executive orders at that time.

Which Diane do we believe, the one who wants to ban some guns and gun paraphernalia (a list of superficially defined "assault" weapons), or the one who apparently wants to enforce an outright confiscation?
