Are you pro life?

In 2018 it was estimated that there are roughly 1 billion firearms throughout the world. 85% of them are in civilian hands.

Even if you outlawed guns tomorrow, the type of people who regularly kill people with guns (gang members) will continue killing people with guns.

Handguns at close range are what kill the vast majority of Americans who are murdered:

If there are no more guns, there will be no more gun deaths.

Yes, guns enhance our ability to kill things. That's why my wife and girls know how to shoot tools that kill people. A 120lbs woman has almost no chance against a male intruder if she doesn't have a gun. What if kids involved? Does a mother have the right to defend her children? If not a gun, then what should she be "allowed" to use to defend her children?

Why won’t you answer my question?

Here it is again: how many times, so far, has your wife or daughter had their home invaded?

This video is of a mother protecting her children with a gun. The man went after the children, broke through 2 locked doors and entered the attic where the family was hiding. Should she of used her 38 revolver she shot him with?

Again, extremely low probability of this happening. It is far more risky to drive a motor vehicle; why do you let your “120 pound” wife drive a car?

Good luck getting there. Guns are very simple devices, it’s not like building an atomic bomb.

Wishful thinking on your part.

Re: “guns are tools.”

Tools are things that are meant to enhance ones capabilities. Yes, I could force a screw into a piece of wood, but a screwdriver makes it way easier.

If guns are tools, they are only tools that enhance ones ability to kill living things. What other possible purpose could they serve? If it’s target practice, then guns are toys and not tools. If guns are toys then they are the worlds most dangerous toys. Dangerous toys are quickly removed from the market—like those 1960s “atomic energy labs” that contained actual radioactive material.

We must remove guns from our society.

I guess we should also remove mouse traps, rat poison, pesticide, herbicide, anything that could possibly be used to kill living things.

Stiletto heels. Ice picks. Same thing.

Hammers, screw drivers, shovels, baseball bats, any appliances with cords, someone's CPAP machine--pretty sure you can strangle someone with those hoses. Not that I've ever considered it or even remotely fantasized about it during lock down.

Keith Richards Telecaster. Well, the list goes on. Probably no way to kill proof society.

Yes, you can strangle someone with a CPAP hose. No, I’m not going to tell you how I know.

Oh I can think of probably a good hundred ways to kill someone. Pro tip: Just don't carry your cell phone with you when you go to dispose of the body and stay away from security cameras. If you fail to do either, you'll see your every move listed in an arrest affidavit. Don't get me started on homicide.
