Gun Control

Why does it impede Stoked, but not the gunman in the school? I still have trouble seeing how you can simultaneously hold both positions.

I want to answer this in a way that makes sense but don't have the time right now.
 
We should also ban cars, bees, dogs, snakes, lightning, sharks, tornadoes, heart, fat in foods, sodas, motorcycles...

We've worked very hard to make cars and motorcycles less deadly. There are already laws on bees, dogs, and snakes. We do a lot of study on lightning, sharks, tornadoes, fat in foods, and sodas. Only guns are exempt?

Yes. There are no laws on guns. 100% exempt.

BTW, this is at least the fifth time you've brought up that troll in this thread.

There are plenty of laws and studies on guns that already make them safer.
 
I haven't talked about trying to ban guns, either.

Sorry, I forgot that you and Stoked are permitted hyperbole, but I am not. I'll try to keep that in mind.

Good because you are the only one that seems to be exempt from from your own standards on bigotry.
 
We've been forbidden to use federal funds to study gun safety for almost two decades, so there are precious few studies.

I bet you can find plenty if you use google. I am glad that you acknowledge there are already plenty of gun laws.
 
In addition, I personally think that there needs to be more restrictions on private gun sales and sales at gun shows, or maybe these are sort of the same.

As Gameface explained (you may or may not have seen that particular post), they are not the same. Gun show booths (in my experience) are almost always run by FFL retailers. Private gun sellers add an awful lot of overhead by selling at a show rather than just making separate private transactions. Buying at a show is pretty much like buying at a gun shop.

"Hyperbole" aside, I would venture to say guns are far more heavily regulated than bees, dogs, and snakes.
 
The factual existence of actual UN published objectives to establish world peace by totally disarming all private citizens worldwide, making it illegal for any private person to own a gun, and to have some very special elite folks determine the allowable national armed forces for every nation, and similar fine upstanding unelected elites directing the pre-eminent worldwide military force is undeniable.

the statements by many advocates of such undemocratic top-down fascsit worldwide government calling for gradualism and staged progression through gun registration towards their goal is a further undeniable fact.

Well, until we have some kind of UN with elected representative structures comprising the UN "government" that respects national sovereignty and inalienable human rights like the right to keep and bear arms, I'm not buying any kind of argument for government regulation of guns.

The right to life, and to protect life in the instant of need, is the most fundamental of human rights.l
