Germany: "Ordinary gun control isn't good enough... we must ban the paintball too!"

Wow..this would be a nice dead. Kill me :wave:
 
It's not trying to 'justify that it's ok that everyone has guns' - it's, again, bringing up the inescapable point that evil motherfuckers are the problem and guns are not. I know the American education system is pretty shit, but I don't think it's because everyone else in the world is decades ahead of our "Completely Miss the Goddamn Point AP" class standards.

No matter how much everyone disagrees, please make an effort not to turn this into a gun debate. It's utterly pointless as everyone has decided their views already.

how in the hell was anything wrong or untrue about Heston's quote?? you know what's embarrassing? knee-jerk reactionary statements from bleeding hearts that think that outlawing guns will make "bad people" turn theirs in and stop acquiring new ones. it won't, and that was Heston's point.

are you afraid of Police?? they have guns you know. No, you're likely not... because they are (usually) "good men". why should you fear your law-abiding neighbor owning a gun, but not the fact that he likely has some petrol in a can in his garage?

i've said this before, i'll say it again... i wish all guns (and missiles and bombs and tanks and.....) would disappear from the face of the earth today.... but it won't happen and no law can ever make it happen now. no matter what laws are made, criminals will get guns (and knives and bombs and garrotes and....) and the only thing a reasonable person can do is move next door to the police station or make a decision: "yes, i will take steps to protect myself and my family" or "no, i'll not keep any weapons and just trust that the percentages are on my side and my family will never be attacked"; it's just a choice, and law abiding citizens should be allowed to make it.

the fact that something bad could happen should a deranged person get their hands on someone's legally owned gun is no more reason to ban them than it would be to ban cars just because a crazed individual may steal one and drive 100kph into a crowd of pedestrians. crazy people do crazy shit... if societies based everything that's allowed or disallowed on what insane people may do we'd all be walking around in foam-rubber suits, eating with our hands, and living in stone houses.... because you know, crazy people might hurl things at us, try to stab us with salad forks, or try to live out their fire fantasies by committing arson on our homes. Wait... all those things already happen, daily... go figure.
 
that's your impression and you're welcome to it. i got the impression Gojira wants an argument... that's my impression, and i'm welcome to it.
 
And the National Rifle Association says that, "Guns don't kill people, people do,” but I think the gun helps, you know? I think it helps. I just think just standing there going, "Bang!" That's not going to kill too many people, is it? You'd have to be really dodgy on the heart to have that… ( imitates gunfire noises ) I think they should just try that, you know.

But I'm going to finish up today by talking about puberty! Which is a, kind of spiky subject, but it's interesting, because there's things like these kids that started shooting people, which you've had in America. Because guns don't kill people, it's just that certain noise they make. It's just a bullet ripping through peoples' bodies. That's what kills people! Yeah, have guns but don't allow any ammunition. There! We got it! We got it sorted!
