Are you against gun control? If so, can you please explain what benefits unrestricted gun ownership gives to society?

The guy you are addressing is literal fantasist about guns.

Can't really reason with him.

He has previously posted his fantasy on AN in which he kills a person who is armed with a skateboard with his little gun. It's a detailed script right out of an action movie and after doing his killing cooly taking a sandwich (or some other food item) out of his pocket and snacking on it.

 

So he is literal fantasist and any rational benefit analysis is not part of his mindset.

Sad really.

You don't mention skateboarders but you are afraid of them as well I think.

When you posted you killing fantasy I think you killed someone who was attacking you with a skateboard.

Literal fantasist because he entertains detailed fantasies about the topic.

Some will use the world fantasist about holding beliefs that are unlikely to be true.

Semi-automatic weapons were banned in Australia, after the Port Arthur massacre. The world did not fall apart, I could still own two bolt-action rifles.

 

Where does it end with you guys? Trench mortars or an Abrams tank for so-called protection?

 

Every time you have a massacre, gun sales go up.

If I had 1000 baht for the number of times I have seen the trope "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" in print, I'd be driving the latest Porsche. It's probably the most unoriginal and fatuous aphorism around.

 

America does not have mental people? A pathetic attempt at deflection.

 

A gun massacre is defined as when four or more people are killed. Since Port Arthur in 1996, Australia has had just 3 such incidents. Between 2014 and 2022, the USA had 4000.

 

The only gun reform we had was banning semi-automatic weapons. It's not hard to connect the dots. Or understand the lesson.

 

You are addicted to your guns, and you pay the price of the addiction almost weekly with innocent lives.

 

Meantime, the rest of the world regards you as trigger-happy idiots.

Nothing you have said goes anywhere close to making a convincing case for largely unrestricted gun ownership.

Yes, many shouldn't have access to guns, but there are background checks. How else can you restrict who owns them? Most gun owners are legitimate, used for hunting, target shooting and self defense against those who have them illegally and are criminals. Suicides are most of the gun crimes and that'll happen whether a person has a gun or not. Gangs also have them, many illegal, so they'll have them anyway. I sold guns, and am fully aware there is a problem, but you don't take guns away from legitimate owners. The only things that might curtail gun crimes is having a psychological done before ownership and a higher age limit,  21 for all guns, but people will still steal and take other's legitimate guns for crimes.

I dont need to make a case for a right, especially when its enshrined in our constitution. Free men have rights  given to them as part of the natural order, I dont need to make any case for what I have.

And yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Here is your gift of knowledge: bullets dont discriminate, they kill loons of any persuasion. Thats why they are used for self defense.

It wasnt a fantasy. It was a wet dream (taken literally by you of course as you have no sense of irony or sarcasm). A skateboard is a deadly weapon. It wasnt a little gun, for this wet dream I chose a Congo FAL not an M4 because the ninjas with skateboards might be wearing body armour instead of umbrellas and trash can lid shields and I would want the penetration of the 7.62 over the 5.56. 

 

You should note that my post was in response to your boys again calling for attacks on MAGA. Serious calls.

Well it wasnt that detailed, and it wasnt out of a movie, but it was a real life incident.

 

Dont forget how I blow the smoke off the flashhider before I dig into my hearty Jersey Mike Footlong that fits conveniently in my pants next to my other footlong. Jersey Mikes are a key facet of the wet dream, because when the Trooper comes up and says, wow, looks like Antifa picked on the wrong geezer, I can say, yeah dude, they yap great on the net, but are so stupid they think a skateboard trumps 20 rounds of 168grain TAP. Hey, want a bite of this, I got extra Jalapenos.
