I'm only actually flagging people who're calling names.

nope I actually believe gun ownership is reasonable to a certain degree. if my utopian way of thinking about it would be portrayed for the U.S every citizen would have the right to 1 Shotgun kept at home , 2 A hunting rifle in areas where one can actually hunt or otherwise storing the hunting...

I'm going to boil this down to one point and you may then tell me whether this is something reasonable. In your post you assume that when shooting with either a pistol or a shotgun at someone you're shooting to kill (not to incapacitate) Why is that? and do you then think that such...

Flagged, I was just about to say how I enjoyed the reasonable polite discussion. There is no need to start calling names and I will not redeem your reply with any further response because of it.

you've misread the most points in my post completely, But you have a right to an opinion like everyone else. The EUMERICAH remark was perhaps out of place but people know what it refers to and it is all but meant as a reference, if this post seems to have caused offence to you my apologies.

I must offer you tea at least, I think you make a very reasonable case for yourself here.

on point 5, I'm not saying it's the only one, I'm saying it's the best tool for the job and the only one I've ever heard someone put down reasonable arguments for. Although he wasn't meaning civilian use some other bloke mentioned machine guns are used for suppression fire rather than...

4 you're right (: 5 shotgun has been proven to be the most capable home defense weapon, a shotgun blow would incapacitate an assailant not even necessarily killing him, there would be less room to struggle and the gun by itself is a lot more imposing than a handgun. 7 no I mean having a...

Well at least we've got some healthy discussion going.

would you please stop the picture spamming there's no need for it. And they aren't groundless statements if you wish for me to back these up I will. PS: next time reply in a mature way please, this picture spamming just makes you look foolish.

1. In as much as wooden swords are the equivalent of that and we don't allow people running around with katanas and zweihanders in the public space yes. Because sir that's the only comparison I can draw and would defeat the entire discussion altogether I should think. 3. oh you mean like...

Education by respectable discussion. and any "extra" insight in the matter would always be a positive thing

it's not just a "gun" thread, it's a neutral thread about some of the more rather silly points people try to make. 1 that does not mean guns were designed to kill/harm and denying that will not make it go away 2 This was a point on the fact that people seem to deem that either the gun or...

1 suppression fire? you do know that is still to harm, don't tell me that you're the guy sitting behind a machine gun in ww1 ww2 or any war or combat situation after that sitting behind a machine gun going "well heck if I shoot into the air they'll probably get scared and retire from...

this thread was so ridiculous I figured someone would have posted after mine, thanks though. I've been seeing people de-rail and flood threads for a while now and anyway two would already be two too many for my taste.
