I suppose you like to ignore statistics as well? Gun control does not decrease murder rate.
Look how many people are constantly getting killed in Chicago where gun control is very real.

There's plenty of gun control in Chicago, and I'll bet this news from the 4th of July didn't make it's rounds like a white cop shoots black guy story would. I know it didn't make much news here.

Nope it didn't.
I heard about it but it ended up getting buried because gun grabbers don't want those stories to get out.
Thats a good link though, clearly shows gun control is a huge fail.

Bottom line, we need more guns, not less.
Did you even see the video? The guy stood there for a minute with the gun pointed at them five feet away and they had no clue. If you're gonna make an argument you shouldn't cite an example that totally disproves the validity of said argument.

Crazy, homicidal people are going to kill whether they can get a gun or not.
You're just simply wrong. No one with half a brain thinks this is true. Most are too lazy, or too afraid to use another method and even if they did, nothing comes close to the effectiveness of a gun.
Quote:
A pipe bomb for instance is pretty easy to make
No it's not. Even if it were, they are pretty imprecise tools to kill someone. This argument that people just switch to bombs is downright stupid. You should be embarrassed. People who make bombs want to make bombs, not because they can't get a gun.
Quote:
Why bother trying to make one when you can just run out and buy a gun or use the one you already had to begin with?
Exactly.
Quote:
If someone's dead set on mass murder, then they're going to do it with or without a gun
With what? The pipe bomb that probably won't work even if they tried? How do these phrases sound to you? A drive by bombing. A drive by knifing. A drive by poisoning. Pretty ridiculous.
You've got to be kidding me with this logic making it easy to kill people doesn't increase the likelyhood that people will be killed. If other methods are just as good as guns, then why the fuck are you people so gay for guns. Just get some knives and shut the fuck up.
There's really no point in arguing with you on the subject. Not because you make such a irrefutable arguments, but because you're so anti-gun that no matter what anyone says you're just going to pull a bassfreak and tell them they're wrong.
I'm not the only one to make "ridiculous arguments". For instance you picked out pretty much the only instance where no other weapon would really work (drive by) to make your point. They happen, but they are FAR from the only way guns are used to kill. Why are we so gay for guns? Guns have more than one purpose/use (which you seem to consistently ignore). I'm not the fucking crazy guy who's going to go on a random killing spree. I don't need to use other methods to kill that are just as easy to use. That's why I'm not picking up some knives and shutting the fuck up.

Koods, you realize I can make a slapgun with 5 dollars and a trip to the hardware store right?
If people want a gun, they're going to get one. If people want to kill, they're going to kill.

Are we going to outlaw plumbing supplies, now too?

Nothing is more amusing than a gun nuts trying to compare his weapon to anything else than can possibly kill.
IF PIPE IS SO EFFECTIVE THAN WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING WORRIED ABOUT YOUR PRECIOUS GUNS?
You ever notice that women don't sit around getting gay for guns? Why? Because your need for guns is nothing but a reptilian need fueled by adolescent spurts of testosterone,

I wouldn't get within a 100 yards of Viva when she was holding a gun. Talk about a twitchy trigger finger,

100 yards is probably too close with what she was packing. A little kid could take you out from that range

I've never known anyone to own a gun around here. I've never actually seen a handgun before except the ones cops have. They appear to be completely unnecessary.

I'm late to the party on the inevitable gun control debate
But isn't Chicago, who might be the most staunchest in the country when it comes to gun control -- one of the most violent, bullet ridden cities in America despite of that? How do the anti-gun folks explain that?
And anyway, I get the notion, I really do. But if someone REALLY wants a gun, they'll get a gun. I don't buy the "they're lazy and won't do it if there's gun control laws". No. There's a damn war on drugs for fuck's sake, and that's not stopping anybody from scoring their stash.
If you have money, you can get anything you fucking want, legal or not. And most, if not all of these highly publicized shootings were planned out. They weren't spur of the moment deals. I think people who really, truly believe that these shooters would've just said "aw shucks, guns are illegal, I guess my grand plans of shooting motherfuckers is out the window...oh well back to my life" are kind of living in a fantasy land

The people who will do anything to get their hands on a gun are Easy to weed out. They're the ones shooting stumps in their backyards, can't hold a job and whose eyes are too close together.
