The logical fallacy of pro gun arguments | |
Farfignuten User ID: 13179944 United States 12/17/2012 06:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Farfignuten Nukes are designed to Destroy everything. A gun Was designed for one on one combat(multiple on one with some guns). The reason Nukes are Bad is because of Mutually Assured Destruction which means everyone loses. Lead comes from the ground. Nukes do damage that that breaks down elements on a nuclear level it literally wipes everything off the face of the earth. No matter how you try to make this sound your argument is just stupid. Even if you don't use nukes you can use another analogy like rpg's hey why don't everyone carry an rpg for defense are rpg's don't kill people people do.You see how stupid your argument really is.All you need for defense is your fist. So the elderly, people with some kind of health problem, women, etc. are supposed to use their fists against a gang of savages who attacks them with intent to mug, rape, beat, or steal from them? The major problem that all liberals have is this: You want to take all accountability and responsibility away from the individual and give it to the government. As much as you foreigners would love to see the destruction of this country, it's simply not gonna happen the way you want it to. A robber walks into a nursing home with no gun ,an elderly person points a gun at the thief to stop him the thief overpowers her takes her gun and shoots everyone in the nursing home. Ban guns,save lives Ban Lazy Security Guards Save Lives. |

My argument against guns is air tight and US citizens should be petitioning to ban guns Your argument against guns is fucking stupid and is more full of holes than half of the theories and arguments on here. Here's a little history lesson Alcohol was banned in the US what happened the Italian Mafia started illegally importing alcohol. Crime rates skyrocketed. People continued to drink even those in the White House. Harry J. Anslinger outlawed Marijuana 60 years ago. I have a joint in my ash tray right now. You haven't even attempted to think about any other possibilities other than You wont be able to Legally buy Fire arms in the US. Like I said before 90% of gun related fatalities are by stolen and illegally acquired weapons. You are like a kid trying to force a round peg in a square hole and say you accomplished something. By the way, how old are you? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5550514 classic example of gun-lover being deliberately obtuse/disingenuous/doing his cause no favours No that is the perfect example of taking steps to eliminate Risk. You people forget that Our nation was created through a War. From birth We as American Men are told that We must do what We must to protect our Land, our Liberty, and our Freedom. The only sensible argument for banning guns would be if the entire world decided to say fuck it and get rid of their guns. Then there would be no reason for guns but until then I would personally rather not expect my Government to protect me. Have you ever watched Red Dawn? That's why banning guns is the stupidest thing ever uttered apart from hey lets ban Alcohol. Wolverines |

All it would do is take weapons away from honest people. What would happen if North Korea, Russia, and idk China all said fuck the US lets rape them. It would be up to everyone to defend their homes and families not just police and military. The reason we hold guns is because of the thought that one day the fight will come to our doorstep. Everything else is blurred by the fact that yes there are tragedies every day. But Guns or not there will still be tragedies. Anyone in Canada can buy guns without problem yet there are so few murders its laughable. The US's problem isn't Gun control its People. We have people that just flip shit and go into work and kill people that's where the term going postal came from. The US is Fucked up because the majority of US citizens are certifiably insane ask anyone who has ever been in an American Highschool. People are fucking nuts here. If you took away guns People would kill others with knives. The only thing that would happen is isolated incidents like this one. The reason shit happened like it did is because everyone dropped the ball the dude's Mom never got him help, his friends never talked to him about it, hell the dude was let in the school when he was clearly armed to the teeth. Blaming Guns on this is like blaming England for causing Germany to be so poor that they started another war. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22454667 United States 12/17/2012 07:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There was a post at 6:14 AM mentioning a Harvard Law study on this subject and my first reaction was to think the liberals there will conclude guns should be banned. But a quick look at that study shows their conclusion: "This Article has reviewed a significant amount of evidence from a wide variety of international sources. Each individual portion of evidence is subject to cavil — at the very least the general objection that the persuasiveness of social scientific evidence cannot remotely approach the persuasiveness of conclusions in the physical sciences. Nevertheless, the burden of proof rests on the proponents of the more guns equal more death and fewer guns equal less death mantra, especially since they argue public policy ought to be based on that mantra. To bear that burden would at the very least require showing that a large number of nations with more guns have more death and that nations that have imposed stringent gun controls have achieved substantial reductions in criminal violence (or suicide). But those correlations are not observed when a large number of nations are compared across the world. Enough said. Even Harvard doesn't suggest banning guns. I'm sure others have said it already, but if you make guns illegal only criminals will have them. And even before guns existed, there was violence and murder. If the media would stop glorifying and publicizing high body counts less suicidal maniacs would aim to achieve them and would perhaps merely end their own tragic lives more quietly. |
