    I know you don't. You're a sociopath.

    so·ci·o·path
    ˈsōsēōˌpaTH/Submit
    noun
    a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.



    Restricting who can buy what kinds of guns isn't banning them. Strawman Bobs.

    Damn, you are really bad at this. You can't present one good argument. Not one. Wow. Are you going to give me a Ben Franklin quote next? Oh, please. lol

    Uh... so I guess a right isn't a right and the whole security illusion thing went right out the window by your own admission. Mkay.

    A right is a right but the government already restricts that right which according to you is stripping your rights. Why don't you take a moment and compose your thoughts again.

    There's a difference between there being some weapons that are illegal and seeking to prevent people from having any firearms. On top of that, if we're talking specifically about an assault weapons bad, we've already done that before and it did nothing at all.

    Basically the only thing you could do that would make even a dent at all would be unconstitutional, that's what I'm telling you.

    You knows Bobs, for someone who doesn't care if 480,000 people are murdered by guns every year you sure do care about these threads a lot. What a strange juxtaposition.

    LOL it doesn't surprise me that a simpleton like you would miss what I was saying by throwing out that specific number. I know you're not what I'd call a deep thinker, but c'mon kiddo work with me here. Try to figure it out.

    No, you clearly told me a right is a right. Here is your direct quote.

    Now you admit rights aren't rights. Make up your mind Bobs.

    Why is a restriction on gun rights unconstitutional? As we've already discussed, many rights have restrictions. Riddle me that one Bobs. Is this particular amendment just extra more special than the rest? It's like super Constitutional or something?

    Then the dispute really is at what point does a weapon become too dangerous to be allowed on the streets. For you, AR-15's fall below the threshold while grenade launchers don't and should be banned.

    Uh, YOU threw out that specific number. Quoting your nonsense verbatim isn't a deep thinking task for me, I dunno about you Bobs.

    I mean, it should be obvious that there's a huge difference between what is merely a semi automatic rifle and grenades....but I'm sure some don't see it that way because to some an AR-15 is a tank.

    There's never been a question that some regulations are permissible, but at a certain point it becomes unconstitutional. On top of that, some bans are just stupid, they produce no positive results so there's no reason to allow the restriction.

    The real problem isn't guns, it's people that want to kill other people. So long as that exists, people will find a way.

    SMH, god you're slow. Why would I have used that specific number? Perhaps I was referencing something else with it.....

    I hate it when people make me break things down to them Barney style like this. It's what I get for discussing things with simpletons I suppose.

    Yeah, my slowness and Barney style intellect is really what's being outed here Bobs. Heh

    I'm still waiting for any good argument for unlimited gun rights. Any truck murder vs gun murder stats you've got. Basically anything that backs up the nonsense you've been posting tonight. Go, I'll wait.

    Give me some Ben Franklin quotes or some stats for non-gun related deaths by ice cream and potato chips or smoking. Go for it Bobs. Tell me how many ice cream and potato chip murders happened this year.

    Perhaps a sociopath doesn't understand the difference between a death and a murder. Is that your malfunction? Hmm.

    For those 26 kids and Teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary, an AR-15 WAS a Tank. He cut down 7 year-olds with an Assault Weapon. 7 YEAR OLDS. What horrible way to die. 7 YEAR OLDs. The FEAR that weapon caused in their last moments. WTF. BAN the ****ING ASSAULT RIFLES. You dont need to ****ing hunt. If u do......you shouldn't be in the woods.

    Nah, the real problem is people who want to kill other people with guns, because it's really ****ing easy to do. If possible - and it is, ironically also easily - why shouldn't we make that more difficult?

    Why is it unconstitutional to ban something like an AR-15, but not a grenade launcher? I mean, I understand there's a big difference between them, but does the Constitution make such a distinction? I wasn't aware of that.

    If its premeditated, planned-out murder, then you may be right. But a lot of the times that isn't the case, and I suspect that having a weapon that makes it easy to kill will facilitate a murder that otherwise would not have happened.

    One could also consider suicide. How many people die from suicide each year? A suicidal person with easy access to a gun is far more likely to kill themself.

    If you think extra deaths due to guns still doesn't warrant restricting them, such arguments won't matter to you.
