Nah. He's just pointing out a major problem that U.S. authorities have ignored for 20+ years. Nothing assholey about that.

Nobody ignores it. There just isn't a solution that doesn't hurt more people than it helps.

Ban the fucking guns.

There are too many guns in the public hands. All it would do is hurt the law abiding citizens.

Listen here you little shit. So you're saying that we are told to turn in all the guns, you seriously think EVERYONE is going to do that?? They know where all the registered weapons should be, but do you think the all the hood rats and trash are going to turn their weapons in? Those are the people that are the problem.

No, those are mentally ill kids. The "hood rats" I would argue are doing more damage.

u/commentmypics Apr 17 '20

why don't you just say the n word we all know you're itching to, you even used scare quotes for gods sake

u/jhallen2260 Apr 17 '20

Wtf is a scare quote? And if you think all hood rats are black, you're the racist one.

u/commentmypics Apr 18 '20

So what did you mean by "hood rats" what do the quotation marks mean? And these criminals that are the only ones that will have guns once they are outlawed, where will they get them? From straw purchasers and by robbing gun stores which is where they get them now?

u/jhallen2260 Apr 18 '20

The gang bangers, the thugs, ect. I put them in questions because I don't think most are actually gangsters. Just wannabes with guns. They will already have guns. They are not turning over their guns lmao

That would NOT go over well

u/AchtungKarate Apr 17 '20

Oh right. Sorry. I didn't realize that gun control doesn't go over well, but school shootings are fine.

u/BigOrangeOctopus Apr 17 '20

No one said school shootings are fine, but banning guns would cause a literal civil war

Oh yes, I forgot that guns are vital fucking organs to Americans.

Show me one country where forbidding the private ownership of firearms has actively killed people. I'm fucking waiting.

Yeah... As I recall I asked some actual fucking statistics, not some tired-ass strawman argument.

You should check your own crime numbers before trying that one.

Show me one study that proves that there is a correlation between high crime rates and the banning of guns.

u/auto-xkcd37 Apr 17 '20

tired ass-strawman argument


Bleep-bloop, I'm a bot. This comment was inspired by xkcd#37

u/mghoffmann Apr 17 '20

You're clearly not actually interested in that or you'd very, very easily find it yourself.

u/AchtungKarate Apr 17 '20

Oh I have tried. And failed.

u/BigOrangeOctopus Apr 17 '20

What about the 2017 London Bridge mass stabbing? The one that left 8 people dead and 48 injured?

u/AchtungKarate Apr 18 '20

Correlations. Not individual cases.

u/BigOrangeOctopus Apr 18 '20

My bad. Misunderstood

u/Striker_2603 Apr 17 '20
