He also killed half of his victims with a knife. Who's up for some knife control?


Me. We also need more automobile control, starting with those evil BMWs,  as he killed at least one of his victims with his Beamer.


You pro-gun folks sometimes make some really ridiculous arguments. A car's purpose is transportation. A gun's purpose is to kill efficiently. Everything cancause death. Now I don't think a gun ban really solves anything but you guys need to stop these useless comparisons. FYI, you won't win a war with the U.S. govt no matter how many guns you stash. Best case scenario is a bloodbath with 10X the casualties on the civillian side.

And yet they happen to kill people at more than twice the rate of the instrument designed to "kill efficiently."   

The comparisons serve to show how laying the blame at the feet of an inanimate object is folly and nonsensical. The point being that if we are really talking about preventing human deaths and the means to do so is to simply ban a thing we should be banning EVERYTHING that causes human deaths starting with the most deadly which at this point is not firearms. But we aren't now are we?

Also, your assertion that you don't win a war with the US govt tell that to the North Koreans and the Vietcong or the Somalians. And the point is so what? Is it just inevitable so we just roll over for a tyrannical government when/if it rears it's ugly head?
