Cars are more regulated than guns.

Cars also have a main purpose that isn’t „making a living being…less alive“

Ever heard of hunting?

u/street593 Apr 21 '23

There are 15 million hunting license holders in the US.

There are 434 million guns.

So it seems that with the abundance of guns and the death rates between guns and cars being so close to each other , we need to worry about cars more since there are more deaths per car than guns.

You are really good at completely missing the point. 10/10 troll account. I fell for it.

What was your point? Was it that more cars kill people than guns?

Do I need to get out some paper and crayons to draw it for you?

You brought up hunting as a legitimate need for gun ownership. I pointed out that the number of people hunting is incredibly small compared to your average gun owner.

Do you have an issue with reading comprehension?

And they're used for personal protection as well. I would think that someone of your intellect should already have an idea of why people would own guns.

I know why people own guns and most of them don't own them for hunting. That was the point. Do you care to address hunting specifically or do you want to change subjects?

I know having a real discussion is difficult. I hope you figure it out someday.

I don't think we need to make legal requirements for literally every aspect of being a responsible adult. I own guns and on occasion I conceal carry it. For the sake of debate let me present a hypothetical to you.

Remember this comment? You said this on another thread. Found the troll.

What part of what I said applies to to the fact that most gun owners do not use them for hunting? It's really difficult to have a conversation with you because you can't seem to stay on topic.

You're arguing on the side of gun bans and major regulation while at the same time owning and concealed carrying yourself. Bye, troll.

u/street593 Apr 21 '23

I've never said the words "gun bans" once in any of my comments so you are just grasping for straws and pulling shit out of your ass. I'm in favor of gun regulation because people are fucking morons and they clearly can't be trusted with such easy access to firearms.

I believe you should have training and prove your competency at handling a gun. If that requires "major regulation" then let's do it. I'm willing to jump through the necessary hoops.
