You saying this in this scenario is the reason why we’re so divided. You try to pervert fair arguments and make them seem absurd.
These are not the issues the democrats are targeting in wanting to solve when they want to ban semi-autos, and you know it.
If the 3 yo instead stabbed the 1 year old, would that make a difference? Should we start banning household knives?
I don’t hear a lot about 3-year-olds stabbing 1-year-olds. I do hear a lot about toddlers getting guns and shooting other kids…

Knives are in nearly every household yet accidental deaths from laceration are not very common. Maybe they’re not nearly as prevalent in media so kids don’t think to “play” with knives. Maybe they’re just not as deadly as guns (they’re absolutely not).
The biggest difference between knives (plus the dozens of other dangerous household items that any normal person owns) and guns is the purpose. Guns are intended to harm living things. I cut things almost daily, but in 40 years I’ve never had a situation where I thought a gun would’ve improved the outcome.
You cant ban “basic” tools
Guns are tools too, but way to specialized. Almost nobody really needs them.
But knives? I use knives daily for food prep/cooking
And opening boxes
And cutting wood
(Of course different knives with different types of blade, etc)
A gun has 1 purpose: kill someone
want to ban semi-autos, and you know it.
I say F the 2nd. And it was gun rights advocates who radicalized me, not Democrats.
Okay, well until we as a country determine that the constitution needs amending and we want to repeal the 2nd amendment, it’s the constitution that is the most important part of the law that every state must abide by.
I like that you didn’t respond to the rest of my comment that showed how stupid yours was. What do you think of the criticism I had for your comment, do you just want to ignore my points of
- You’re strawmanning the argument
- This isn’t the scenario’s the democrats are targeting when they want to ban AR’s.
- If a different weapon was used, do you think it’s a good argument to ban said weapon?
It is likely that the 3 y/o would not have killed the 1 y/o if a gun was not available.
Unless murder was on the mind.
Whats the “fair argument”? You need more guns to prevent more shootings? Do you realise how dumb this is?
Just that with your stupid laws the other guy has a gun too. With good laws no one has a gun
