How do you say "jauntily"? Kecklich?

I'm not pro-gun, or pro-car, or anything that is a detriment to society. I vote progressively, donate to digital rights groups, and contribute money and code to open source projects. I believe in a better world.

Okay, with that out of the way, I'm looking for an argument I can use against a gun owner to tell them that they should not own a gun.

School shootings and dead kids is somehow not enough to convince them, because of the claim that its a minority of reckless users who are the problem. I am looking for other arguments I can use, and I will question arguments that seem weak or inconsistent to me.

Apologies if the car argument is often used by them, it came to me on the spur of the moment. Clearly it was a bad argument.

That's fair

That's a katana, and that's a hill I'm willing to have lunch on.

No let's not. People will start off mildly, but as the popularity of the sub rises, you will get chumps chopping down trees to make the perfect stick.

Then you get the lathe guys muddying the rules of the competition, and then the sub becomes either a pinewood derby stick contest (with permitted parts), or a how-to-make-a-batting-club bonanza.

No, I'm out. closes curtains

So friendly!

Are Israeli's called Israelites? That's a very ancient biblical term, no?

And if you let him live, he's just going to keep killing other people eventually. All you win is a moral high ground for barely 5 minutes after the credits roll. Monsters are really good at convincing themselves that they're not monsters!

More info on this?

Man that's nothing, I used to tape my eyes shut and open them through sheer will power.

Sad thing is is that there are probably many responsible gun owners, but its the jackasses that get publicized and drawn into the public eye.

Though, that's how it should be. It just takes one reckless owner to ruin several people's lives. That's an incredibly low margin of error, and people should talk about it.
