The only point you seem to be making is that guns kill and therefore they
must not be tolerated.
More than once you have asked me if this is the best that I can do. I think
that I have done qite well in showing other perspectives of this issue. If
guns were the only cause of violent death in America, I might actually
consider the banning of them, however, they are not. Other forms of lethal
luxuries have been banned here at far more cost than the initial problem
warrented.
Do you even live here?
I have the impression that you simply don't like guns. That is fine.
Personally, I don't like mad cow disease, but am not petitioning the culling
of cattle all across the world.
I don't like narcotics, yet drink far more than my share of caffeinated soda.
Many people here have given you more than ample reason why guns should not
be banned but merely handled better. You simply site the same thing over
and over again, "guns kill so get rid of them".
Enough is enough. Get off of it already and find something to debate that
you can actually contribute tangible arguments to.
Yes, this is probably the best that I can do, though somewhat passionate and
emmotional at this point in the debate, I think I've done far better than you.
