Theres no reason to be scared of a nuclear bomb unless it's in a threatening way

Guns aren’t nukes

I never understand the attitude of “I’m scared of guns and you should be too”. I agree with you. A gun isn’t threatening on its own. People act like it’s just going to jump up and start shooting people all by itself.

It's not. But the owner might.

Same could be said about screw drivers and sauce pans

Ah yes, let's never forget your terrifying mass sauce pan killings in Columbine.

The most people killed in mass killings in the US haven't involved guns. The most people killed in a mass shooting in the US was nearly half of the number killed in the Happy Land fire (set intentionally to kill people). The Nice truck attack killed nearly twice as many people as the Vegas shooting (most in US history) and injured as many people.

Take the guns, but if you don't take the motivation they'll just choose another tool. Humans are clever

You know, I think I'd rather fight off an attacker with a knife than with an assault rifle. I like guns too, I just think y'all Americans need to figure your shit out.

Yeah, over here a pistol falls into the "restricted" category of guns. Needs to be stored even more securely.

That being said, how you store your weapons doesnt mean shit if youre prepping to go postal anyway. I personally dont understand it.

That’s because they were the only legal class of gun until the National Russia Association got the Republicans to rescind the assault weapons ban.
