"It's a mental health problem!"(i.postimg.cc)

Fines, court dates and warrants do not take firearms out of the hands of people that would rather die than give them up. You’d eventually need SWAT tasks force level initiatives to go and kill resistors eventually; I find that highly unethical.

And there it is. Exactly what I said was going to happen. What was the point of this exercise?

And there it is…? Would you have preferred I started off with that statement in the future?

The point is that you cannot effectively remove guns in the US, without substantially increasing loss of life, and that’s why it doesn’t happen.

Let me remind you of my comment above

Again, the point is we’re not even there yet. We can theory craft all we want, and you can poke imaginary holes in every measure taken. And in the end, you will still reach the conclusion of “if it’s not perfect, why try?” and nothing will change.

So, why bother? No matter what solutions someone brings to the table, you will not be satisfied.

You proved that correct. There was no point to any of this.

The conclusions I came to are as follows:

You immediately resorted to name calling when you didn’t like what I said… like some kind of petulant child.
You make claims that we just need to “try” and then once a problem with your half-baked idea is presented, it became my fault
I outright told you the point and you still missed it like a fucking moron.
