Showing Original Post only (View all)Serious Questions For Those Who Oppose Gun Laws [View all]
In the wake of the latest example of Americas ridiculous and indefensible gun culture, a few questions for those who perpetuate this idiocy:
If an armed society is a polite society, then do you agree that the problem in Chicago is that there just arent enough guns?
In which of two fantasy worldsone where everyone had a gun, and one where no one had a gunwould more people die by violence?
How do we tell the difference between an Open Carry activist and a murderer who just came to the fast food place to kill as many people as possible? Do we just wait until they start shooting?

Unlike those of us who don't have a special talent and can't be certain who is the bad guy

Where I live lots of people carry, every day. No special talent required to not fear them.

You seem upset others aren't sharing your delusions. Try to not "lose it."

That pretty well explains why you lot want to stick it to everyone, rather than just the criminals.

So pre judging is bad ... except for you pre judging all gun owners - ironic, ain't it?

The questioner isn't "serious," he/she is just spewing the usual. Trash this.
