The logical fallacy of pro gun arguments

The only thing that is going to do any good is for people to change.

We are far too primitive right now to give up weapons. We have lunatics on the news every minute. We've got people who have an immense fascination with an object designed to take life. People collect them and worship them..clean them...gaze at them while drinking their beer.


Giving guns up is not the answer right now. Both sides (Criminals) and (Vigilantes) is the reason. Until there isn't two sides...and until we hit absolute rock bottom...we will continually become more and more violent as that's currently our path.

There has to be a currently-unimaginable amount of change in humanity to take place before anything like this happens. Possibly several hundred if not even a thousand years yet to go...

:gun control befo:

in 2009 there were 42 gun-related deaths in Great Britain. This number includes homicides, suicides and accidental deaths.

In 2005 (the latest year for which numbers are available) there were 30,364 gun-related deaths in the United States. This number includes homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths.

True, the United States has more people than Great Britain so you can’t really compare these two numbers. Britain has about 61 million, while the United States has about 296 million, which gives the U.S. about five times the population of Great Britain. So, a better comparison of the numbers would be to multiple the British gun deaths by five.

42 x 5 = 210

Now we can compare the numbers.

Gun-related deaths for Great Britain (if given a population equal to the United States) = 210

Gun-related deaths in the United States = 30,364.

210 vs. 30,364

gun owners - is your life REALLY, GENUINELY threatened 24/7?

if so, how DO you live in such a shit country, with mortal danger at every turn?

if not, then you just love your gun. admit it


and you know what, i loathe obama. AND i am a libertarian. yes, i am. and i dont even think that a gun ban WOULD solve americas hideous gun homicide rate

coz at the end of the day, gun lovers just like their guns. its the wild west, where a man aint a man unless he 'carry conceals' - even the terminology is laughable

gun people - you aint doing yourselves any favours by being obtuse

the sheer number of guns, the relatively easy availability, the lack of checks. it all adds up

and some of you even think that EVERYONE should carry a gun. yeah, thatll improve things
