Not quite likewise. Guns are a subset of all the ways Man uses to kill Man. Therefore it follows that controlling guns will be less far-reaching than controlling all methods. Not that I'm advocating it, I'm not. Mass murder by gun is the price we pay for freedom to own guns.

I prefer to be defended from a position of strength. That aint you in this thread

US does not need to take guns from hands of criminals. US needs to take criminals hands off guns, feet off streets and enforce already existing laws to maximum degree. give the pot grower less time in prison than the 2-time felon who already killed two times and awaits opportunity to kill a third.

legalize pot. clear the jails and prisons of nonharm criminals. life sentences without chance for parole of all violent criminals, 1st offense.

US has had more guns per capita from Mayflower beaching thru 1950s than it had from 1950s to date. Why the absence of school and factory workplace shootings in 1600s, 1700s, 1800s and firsthalf 1900s?

guns arent the problem. coddled criminals are the problem. plenty of laws exist now. too many laws. enforce the ones on books already, end of problem

Fucking A+ post.

dozen ways of death and destruction is the price man pays for use => abuse of alcohol. no beneficial use for alcohol consumption exists. 100% destructive in all phases. booze is a subset of man seeking pleasure. alcohol abuse is the price many innocent people commonly pay for the freedom of abusers to abuse such

Quote from Ricter:

One of the obvious problems with guns and criminals are those cases where you don't know the guy is criminal until he guns down a dozen people. Then it's too late of course.

True enough, but... if there are a few law abiding citizens around the scene with guns; instead of a dozen innocent victims you might only have one or two INCLUDING the criminal.
Also, going back to 911, if there had been maybe a couple of guys packing heat you gotta wonder if things might have been a little different. Maybe... maybe not... we'll never know.

You dont consider getting laid a beneficial use for alcohol consumption???

One way to view it I guess but I don't see how you jumped from this to...

Therefore it follows that controlling guns will be less far-reaching than controlling all methods...

Why the gun "subset"? Other than it's part of the liberal dogma.

True enough, thats why you got to bail while your still drunk. As long as they were a 10 in your mind and you cant prove otherwise then thats all that matters.

And never make the mistake of calling them after that night.... atleast not while sober anyways. Unless you saw them before you were drunk. There are rules to the game of drunk promiscuity, which when not followed correctly can lead to "alcoholic beverage" buyers remorse.
