Believe it or not, some people get in accidents! Maybe they hit black ice. Or their axle locks up. Or they get a flat tire. Or a tree falls on their hood. Or their gas tank explodes. Or their brakes fail. When you drive a car, you accept that risk.
I agree with your first statement. If you just own a car, and keep it in your car safe, that does not make you more likely to get into an accident. If you drive the car, though, you are more likely to get into an accident. If you don't believe me, I will rear-end you (don't get too excited) next time I see you stopped at a traffic light. It doesn't matter how carefully you drive if I drive like a maniac. barfo
Would everyone with a gun steal? I own guns and i dont steal. Never commited an armed robbery. Never shot up a school. Hell, never even brandished a weapon. Crazy.
Arent liberals anti police? You really trust the police to be the only ones with guns? Or you want to ban their guns too?
There you go. Attempting to demonize a tool instead of the actions of the person handling it is outrageous and asinine. Two days ago, I watched a video from a cartel in Mexico who had a half-dead guy on a bloody floor. The guy was missing his face, which had been peeled off with a box cutter, and missing his hands and feet because they had been chopped off with an axe. He was then being beheaded with the box cutter. While still alive. And yet....we don't have background checks on axes and box cutters. But here I saw horrifying evidence that, when abused, they can be utterly terrifying. We need to start holding PEOPLE accountable in this country, and stop blaming inanimate objects.
Not saying opportunity hasnt been there. I just happen to have super powers to ignore my guns when they repeatedly tell me to do stupid illegal shit.
No, there are many criminals who never get caught. And they are all free to purchase as many guns as they want.
Ill say this much. If everyone had a gun, and i did want to steal. Id certainly think twice about getting into a fire fight over an inanimate object. "An armed society is a polite society"
Yet they mostly chose to steal guns illegally or buy illegal guns with the serial numbers scratched off. Why dont criminals go to the store and buy legally? Oh. Cause it can be traced back to them.
Agreed. By the way, have you decided on an AR-15 yet? Or, if they have a felony record, they'll be denied. Agreed. It's pointless, as it doesn't catch criminals, nor does it prevent crime. But try telling that to California.
And serial numbers on guns. And there should be big baskets of loaded guns everywhere, so that no matter where you are, there would be a gun within arms reach. That way the bad guys would always be outnumbered. barfo
