Arguing that because someone said something stupid the idea of gun control must also be stupid is in line with the rest of the fallacies in the original video. .
No it's stupid because those who are charging the rhetoric don't know the laws, don't know shit about guns, and make false assumptions based on the first two.
The VP has given shit advise on guns.
Bloomberg is under the impression that the AR15 can fire in full automatic or that it's easy to obtain such a firearm.
Gun control groups have no clue what an assault rifle is. To be honest I highly doubt a lot of gun owners really know what it is either (it's a legal term coined by gun control groups so it will vary state to state).
You have legislators who don't know what a the things they are trying to ban do or function. In fact they have made statement that prove what a bunch of stupid dumb fucks they are on the subject. (Diana DeGette, Bloomberg, Biden, Dianne Feinstein, Carolyn McCarthy, Kevin De Leon etc...)
Universal background checks do nothing to stop anyone from getting a gun (we have them in NY now), yet for some reason that's the answer to all of our problems.
Lets face reality. No time in history has the statement "you can't do that" stopped anyone who really wants to to that from doing it. We have prohibition, we have the drug wars, and several other examples that show it doesn't work.
So lets look at what does and has worked. People (police or armed citizens) being allowed to stop active gunmen as quickly as possible without breaking the law themselves.
