"Guns aren't the problem. Criminals are the problem."

People who pick up guns and and become criminals by killing people are the problem. For instance, this guy wasn't a criminal when he walked into the movie theater.



This guy wasn't one when he walked into Bible class.

>> And you don't even see how screwed up what you posted up above is.........like I said, there is sickness that pervades this group.

What "group"? "Gunowners?"

The group that includes gun owners.

You think all gunowners are "sick"?

Nope. Some gun owners are very responsible.

That itself sounds a bit sick to a rational person. Because "Gunowners" is not a logical, meaningful classification. I'm a gunowner but I haven't shot anyone. I even had a person come in my home after 2am one night and I didn't shoot him. Just asked him WTF he thought was doing? He was confused. (At the time we didn't lock our doors at night, because it wasn't necessary).

There is a group of people, including some gun owners, who are not healthy on a lot of different levels.

Most gunowners are not looking to shoot someone, although you might find that difficult to believe. In fact, the only gunowners who ARE looking to shoot someone are the people who the law will never, ever get the guns away from. And if they did, they would just buy another one from some crackhead.

I'm not sure why you can't see how stupid the argument is. Gunowners aren't the problem here. Guns aren't the problem. Criminals are the problem.


Guns are the problem. No first world nation celebrates guns like this country does.

* Guns: "Walmart said on Wednesday that it would no longer sell high-powered rifles in its stores in the United States. The decision followed years of public pressure on the retailer to stop selling some of the most lethal weapons associated with many of the nation’s mass shootings."
