As a matter of fact, it would be. So would being able to fly to work so I wouldn't have to burn carbon to do the same thing, and as long as we're making wishes, let's go ahead and make a wish for a cure for all disease, and to wish terrorism, war, and famine away.

Sure...until the pirate ship shows up. Then you'd be in a world of hurt.

tC I said right away pay checks not bank account! Like I said you have SELECTIVE READING!!!!!


I am laughing my @ss off at the fact that you bring up this whole conversation because the 10 other facts that I asked/stated you have ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING TO SAY BACK. Sorry did all of those stump you? I will make sure and only ask you one at a time like your a 5 year old!

Yes it might be stupid fighting over the internet about who makes more, but however you brought it up and need to realize your arguing with a business owner and not a fellow walmart greeter such as yourself!

That makes me look like the @SS? pretty sure that it just proves my point that you step away from the arguments that you have no retarded answers for! Best of luck using that in an actual debate

I don't really think that making all the guns go away would solve much. Let's pretend (just indulge me and pretend), that there was no such thing as a gun... it has never been invented. I am pretty sure that I could kill a person in at least 4 other ways without going through much trouble. If one person can do it, then there are prolly others that can do it (unless your Lance Armstong... ).

I understand all the points expressed - I may not agree with them, but I understand them. I was really surprised to hear that SeattleDave would own a gun. Maybe my initial opinion of him was slightly off-based.
And of course, Thomas makes a very strong point... as always.

C - I wish solving a problem like this was as simple as making guns illegal. But it's not... and making them illegal would not do much (as already stated). Hell, the guy at VT could have done more damage with a home made nerve gas or a bomb. Either one aren't that hard to make. But I understand that your problem is not with guns per-say, but rather the illegal trading of them and so forth. But we are always going to have it. It will always be around. So, we, as a whole, or as an individual must do what we think is needed to protect ourselves and our families.

BoiseAuctioneer - I completly understand your point... and honestly, I agree with much of what you have said. But arguing just for the sake of arguing is not helping you make any more of a valid point. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, stupid or not.

Can't we all just get along?!?!

I just don't understand the argument "I am pretty sure that I could kill a person in at least 4 other ways without going through much trouble"
So because of this guns should be legal? Hell let's legalize nerve gas cause I could shoot just as many people if I wanted to, after that we can legalize personal nukes cause i could get just as many people with nerve gas... etc...
Sorry but that argument just does not stand up to logic.

No, I really wasn't arguing anything at all, but stating my opinion in which you may or may not agree with. But because you do bring a valid point that my opinion may have not been worded quite the way I wanted, let me try again.

I was simply saying that even if the guns were illegal, those who are doing the killings and the crime would find another way to do it. There are other things in the world that kill more people.

Regardless of the decions made about legalizing guns or not, crime will still exist. I would rather put my focus on the people rather than an object that people use.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
But I agree, the gun does help.

Didn't this asian kid get his gun illegally?

schools don't let you carry guns on campus, even if you are a permit holder right?

when it comes to foreign affairs, nationalism and actually protecting our nation(not the b.s. going on in the middle east) i'm a very conservative person

but when it comes to our natural born citizen's personal choice, I'm very liberal.

"but I agree the gun does help"
Saying that these people are going to kill people anyways is invalid cause you are then saying "so let's make them more efficient killers by giving them guns"

Look... I realize that it would be chaos to put a ban on guns. I am simply pointing out flawed logic.

And no, I don't think you are allowed to carry firearms on the grounds with a private permit. Could be wrong though...

Like I stated before did they outlaw fully auto guns because they waste precious amo? No they outlawed it because FULL auto weapons were made specifically for killing HUMANS. Weapons have been made since day one to hunt and kill animals. Guns are used everyday for practical purposes just like a Baseball bat or chainsaw.

That is why we outlaw certain types of guns compared to all guns
