Nah, I had a different ridiculous conclusion to come to. This thread is beginning to amuse me again... too bad I had to do all the heavy lifting.
Does every 20 year-old who gets their mental illness "triggered" run out and shoot up a school or a shopping mall, and then kill themselves?
No, but apparently any sane person could at any moment do just that. We should take their guns away for their own protection. if it isn't about controlling mental illness, the only thing left is to control the guns.
It could be argued that the original post in this thread shows the benefit of gun ownership. I guess that what has some of you so upset, the thought that a gun owner acted responsibly and may have spooked the shooter into ending his spree.
fallacies are fun! not all mentally ill people want to shoot up malls. But all people who want ot shoot up malls or actually DO shoot up malls are mentally ill.
I used a simile. I didn't call you a 9 year-old, I said responding to your posts was LIKE conversing with a 9 year-old.
It would be cool, but even if everything this perfectly honest, hardworking citizen says is true, it doesn't counteract Nate's fatalism around responsible gun ownership, which really pissed some of "us" off. Gun owners need to get their shit together, or they will eventually lose their rights.
