Gun Violence Is a Full-Blown National Crisis

33. No, it really isn't.

It's a distinction without a difference

No, it really isn't. A gun is an inanimate object which does not and can not function on its own. Without some form of behavior that amounts to interaction with a gun, nothing happens with a gun.

However I'd HAPPILY remove the human equation by confiscating them all and locking them up somewhere safe.

Because you are a self admitted anti-gun extremist. Well, its not going to happen in this country, and you have no vote here.

As for the 1% it does matter. The 1% are responsible for killing as many people every 5-6 weeks as died on 9/11.

And yet your issue isn't with the 1 percent, its with the instrument they choose. Also, your assertion is only true if you include suicides, which have a different solution that homicides, assuming you actually care about them, and aren't just using them as a crutch to prop up an argument that has and always will fail.

I don't care what percentage of gun nuts did that.

Of course you don't. You're an anti-gun extremist, and as such, its about the guns. And fuck the 80+ million gun owners that don't commit gun violence, right?

Well, you go right on ranting, and I will go right on proving you wrong and doing everything in my power to both discredit the anti-gun movement, and grow the pro-gun movement, with the goal of the pro-gun side getting so big and powerful that people like you will have no choice but to deal with the people making bad choices because you're powerless to attack the people that aren't the problem or the guns they own.

And gun nuts everywhere will continue to make excuses for thousands of dead kids a year, just so they can keep their deadly toys.

Blame the people who aren't committing gun violence some more, wont you?

Its worked out great so far.
