Good one!
I was thinking... Hey, Scrapheap, Litigious, et al, let's just leave this discussion. You won't convert me, and I won't convert you. We'll quote statistics on each other, we'll call each other names, we'll insult Charlton Heston, again, to what use?
We'll not agree, but I'm afraid I might piss you off and you'd come waving with your guns.
Fair enough. Keep in mind I was arguing with you about one topic, I'm not gonna run off and say your mom fucks geese or something. We disagree, no big deal. Like all debates, I just wanted to try and open your mind to the other side. Yeah, people are afraid of anything associated with violence, including firearms, and I understand that. I don't own firearms to shoot people, I own them for recreation.
I just hate that some people have to fuck it up for everyone. And that's what some people want, to take away firearms completely because some fuckhead who couldn't graduate elementary school and robs people to survive carries a plastic brick (otherwise known as a Glock 17) and compensates for a small penis by threatening people with it. I, on the other hand, pay taxes and obey the law, and don't want my freedoms infringed upon more than they already are.
Anyway, I'm done with this topic too. I agree that we can go back and forth, but while I can understand your fear/hatred of firearms, you don't seem to be able to understand my side, probably because you haven't had experience with them, which is no fault. I don't like the 'I don't like ____, so no one should _____!" mentality myself.

Edit: Damn similar topic names, I didn't realize this was the gag topic ;p
Oh well, same difference.
