Thread: Debunking Dangerously Deceitful Dogma

Well, this won't be popular but I think every handgun in the country should be banned period. The stats are very clear if you have a handgun and think it will save your life someday its more likely it will be stolen, used against you,used by a child or family member against another family member. handguns are good for one thing and that's killing other people. I have no problem with hunting rifles or single shot hunting pistols but just think how many people die so guys can go shoot their handguns at paper targets.

I realize this will never happen because the gun lobby owns congress and people will continue to die. I'm sure guys will disagree with me wholeheartedly and I know we have a large contingent of gun enthusiasts and I'm not going to get into an argument with them but that's just how I see it. I've seen too many aftermaths of gun useage.

I challenge you to find one person that has died because of my handgun. You are of course entitled to your opinion that handguns are bad, and to your preference not to own one, but you do not have the right to make the same decisions for me.

So what does that mean? I may own a hydrogen bomb and have never injured anyone with it. Does that mean we should all be allowed to have thermonuclear devices?

By the way I never said someone should take your hand guns away. I happen to own 4 by the way. I was referring to the bad things that oftentimes come of them. However if they passed a law outlawing all handguns it would make me happy and I would turn mine in if everyone else did including all bad people. However that will never happen so this is an unproductive discussion.

Nelson,

You need to register that Hydrogen Bomb . . .
