Thread: GUNZ !!! BANG!

  1. #16

    Unhappy Unnofficial translator of Alastair's language thrwarted!

    Aw... Shlup translated it already... and I was going to have fun doing it too, like last time.

    Anyway, I think guns only do one thing: they create the need for more guns. They just increase the violence in this world; and guns are so proficient at violence that they are now the perfect option for executing said violence. The more guns people have, the more are needed as protection, but even those guns that are bought as protection usually just end up being abused once again. It's a vicious cycle.

    I wish they had never been created.

    You hippie thumb-biter. :P

    I am an advocate of guns, though impractical for the reasons usually cited (burglars and the like). Your likely to shoot your family in the dark. But, if your being threatened on the street, the mere show of a gun usually does an effective job on the noobs menacing you.

    EDIT: Love the title. xD

    That situation could all to easily spin out of control, and you know it. Just showing the gun could actually instigate violence. You might underestimate someone, and when you pull out the gun he could pull out his. From there it would be easy enough for either of you to die.

    Like I said, any situation when a gun is being used for protection only can still lead to deaths.

    True, but show of force is more effective than actual force. And even if someone died, who cares. One life is a drop in an ocean.

    That is where we disagree. One life is a symbol of all life; the gift we are given, the possibilities we have. One act and it's all ruined for one of us. If that kind of attitude was kept by everyone on Earth, there would be a lot less lives, and a lot less possibilities.

    What do I think of guns? I think guns are cool.

    Although, it should be noted that it doesn't matter what you or I think about guns. Every individual should have the right to bear arms. Nothing more needs to be said.

    That view is exactly why America had almost 12 000 murders with guns one year, when places like China had under 100.

    This is a fact featured in the film Bowling for Columbine (or Farenheit 911, one of the two).

    Freedom isn't nice. Freedom isn't pretty. When people are free you can count on them abusing it. It's unfortunate that those people died, but without abriding personal freedom nothing could have been done about those murders. You forget that freedom is inalienable, regardless of how many people suffer because of it.

    I don't mind guns, but I won't get one unless I need one. However, I am strongly against the statement, "guns kill people". That's like saying your pencil makes spelling errors.

    How freedom is defined depends on the person. To me, freedom is the ability to walk down a street without fearing who has a gun concealed on their person.

    Before Northern Chaos God declares "pwned" like an immature child, I would like to see a source to the truth of this statement.
