KIBU: My comment on “responsible” gun ownership was directed more at patronizing know nothings who seek to insert the government into the conversation through the introduction of even more ineffective anti-gun legislation.
As far as the Sandy Hook shooter not being a bad guy: The FBI investigation is indicating that he planned the event in detail and sought to maximize the damage. So, I’m gonna go with, yeah, this motherfucker was a bad guy.
Concerning guns and homicide: Statistically speaking, guns are NOT the leading cause. If you want to kill someone, you’re gonna find a way, gun or no gun. So that leaves us with you in the position of not particularly liking guns and thus wanting to ban something you don’t like. I mean you’re not seeking a ban based on any sort of factual basis.
Are you also seeking to ban cars, too? Drunk drivers kill 4x to 5x the number of people that are killed with guns every year. Shouldn’t we ban cars? Of course not, right? Why?
