simos are you a criminal, or is anyone in your immediate sphere of influence?
Not since I stopped beating your wife.
I get that you want to ban guns. There are two problems with that. The second amendment and the fact that there are 3 million guns in circulation in the US alone. It doesn't even work in Europe, with its strict gun laws. You do understand that it won't work, right?
No wonder you guys don't think ISIS is a problem. You think these guys are like your church going friends.
There are only 3 million guns in America?
He's missing a couple zeroes. 300 million guns.
LOL says all he wants is a peaceful world filled with gun loving Christians, loses argument and jokes about beating women. Ladies and gentlemen: The GOP
yeah, that's not the classic example of a loaded question or anything.
that's actually not a question, so...
You are a genius.

omg. he responded to a severely loaded question by referencing the classic example of a loaded question in his retort, thereby bringing attention to wakeandbake's logical fallacy. Are you a pedant or just stupid?
I believe we should have the right to buy a gun if we want one. Not because we need them for self defense or anything - just because we want one. That is freedom.
At the same time, if there are measures that can be put in place to make it impossible, or at least more difficult, for someone with bad intentions to get a gun, I am all for them.
The problem is figuring out what those measures are - background checks (for mental illness (but how do you do that with privacy laws?)(and who is to say what kind of mental illness causes you to not be able to buy a gun?), for criminal/violent records (that should be easier)), waiting periods (to avoid spur-of-the moment crimes and suicides) - what else? Is there any way for a background check to include association with extremist groups? I don't know if it is possible or if it should be allowed?
