Sweet! Another triumphantly pointless argument against gun control - saying fast cars should be outlawed if guns are going to be. Just because another action also causes casualties doesn't mean we should trivialize gun related deaths. Also, the primary function of a car is to get you from point A to point B, whereas the primary function of a gun is to kill things. Apples and oranges, my friend.
You also mistake my anti gun posts as me calling for guns to be outlawed, and that's where you're wrong. There is a difference between stricter regulation on who can buy what and outright banning of weapons. In any reasonable society if stricter gun regulation could cut down on gun related deaths, the options would be heavily explored.
Having said that, this is an utterly pointless debate for two reasons :
1.) You simply cannot refute my posts and refuse to even stick to the topic, instead diverting off into implications of ****sexuality, bringing up automobile accidents, and talking about boxing fatalities - All of which have absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand.
and
2.) You won. Not the debate, as I think it's fairly obvious to anybody reading that you have the debating skills of an average 4 year old, but your crowd won the issue at large - Gun control has failed in America. Gun control is now a lost cause in this Country. It is far too late to enforce any regulations that limit weapon ownership now that the majority of WASPS in America own them.
Debating this is utterly pointless as I said because your crowd won, and as a result of the victory of the pro-gun crowd, the rest of us are forced to live in a society that you advocated for : A society where anyone anywhere can now be the victim of senseless gun violence.
Congratulations.
