12. Define "strong enough".

The gun laws are not strong enough so your solution is to trash the gun laws. Kay.


Define "strong enough", and metric you'll use to measure it by.

I have heard of France. Does France have a massacre every week? Because we have them a lot more often even than that. And coincidentally, we have a lot more guns than France has. Gee. I wonder if there's a correlation there.


But France, like CA, has strict gun laws. France, like CA, had that strict gun control fail.

Tell me why and how whatever gun control you propose will work where the gun control of France and CA didn't.

Explain it to me.

Do I want total control? Because I never said anything of the sort.


How much control over guns do you want, if not total control?

And no, the people who feel entitled to unrestricted gun "rights" so they don't have to modify their hobby, and who fight for it tooth and nail in their little corners of the world, enable the lunatics who are massacring people each week.


LOL what a joke. So called "unrestricted gun rights" haven't existed in this country since before 1934. Your characterization of supporters as fighting for "unrestricted" rights and the accompanying implication that the landscape of gun rights is somehow measurable or even describable in any meaningful or objective way as "unrestricted", both betrays and highlights your extremism on the issue.



So they bear a good part of the guilt.


In other words, you DO blame people who drink, and the alcohol they drink, for alcohol related deaths (which outnumber gun deaths by the way) OR, you're making special exceptions because you like your booze and/or hate guns.

Got it.
