Yes, you read that correctly. The finger waving anti-gun zealots want our guns because people are getting killed with them.
I own several guns and I am fully prepared to surrender them to said zealots.
When I can have your alcohol.
What am I talking about? Walk this way with me.
It was pointed out in another thread that there are an estimated 300 million legally owned firearms in the US. Now keep the word legally in mind, its very important.
Now from my experience most people who own a firearm own more than one, many collect them. So I doubt there are 300 million "unique" gun owners. So let's say the average gun owner has 4. So 75 million people own guns legally. They have blue cards they have permits they're registered gun owners.
Now lets look at how many deaths occur during the year that resulted in the use of legally owned guns. So gang related shootings, drug related shootings, any shooting involving an illegally owned firearm does not count here. You can;t take guns away from criminals, they will always obtain them. In fact this Lanza animal stole these guns from his mother so its debatable whether or not the guns used in Connecticut were legally owned by the shooter.
Long story short it is a miniscule, an infinitesimal, percentage of legal gun owners who harm others.
Now lets switch gears. The number of deaths and serious injuries caused by drunk drivers is around or even exceeds that of gun related deaths(legal owned) every year. If we want to really get into things we could look at how many of those legal owned gun deaths involved the added factor of alcohol. but lets keep it simple.
Here we are in X-mas party season and next week is New Years. Between 12am-1am on New Years day thousands upon thousands of people will be leaving parties drunk behind the wheel. Their cars are now a 2-3 ton weapon with a "fully loaded" driver behind the wheel. Deaths have and will occur.
Just like in CT many young children will be killed and hurt by drunk driving as well as abused by drunken parents,
Therefore I want your booze. I want all the finger waving zealots and our mealy mouthed President to call for your booze. Hand it over people and now.
Whoa, wait, what's that? That's not fair?
Okay, I'll bite, why is it not fair?
Because it is only a very small percentage of idiots who get drunk and do these things, who kill and ruin peoples lives(and take their own as well) those people shouldn't represent all drinkers!
I am a responsible drinker! Why should I lose my scotch and Budweiser because a handful of dummies can't handle their drinks.
You can't so this! a handful of people should not effect everyone.
But sorry, we're taking your booze away. So what happened last time booze was taken away during prohibition?
there was more booze flowing than when it was legal! The mobsters and criminals were raking it in!
so what happens when you abolish guns? People will still get them except now the only people that will own them will be people who probably would use them for ill effect leaving law abiding citizens defenseless in their own homes.
What's that? we only want to take away semi automatic weapons? Okay then I'll only take way your beer.
But wait, now someone just walked into a theater and killed 8 people with 2 .38's. Now we want all your guns.
Okay now hand over the hard liquor.
Bottom line this is ridiculous. This man was a sick individual. I cannot fathom what kind of animal can empty a magazine into a child. But he is an aberration and nothing short of evil. People like that will find ways to get their hands on these weapons, criminals always do.
And it is a horrible tragedy, but as always it is now not about these children,. but a bunch of finger pointing fools using this to promote their platform.
whether you own a gun or do not, this is about our rights. Anytime a right is taken away it is a bad thing. You may not want a gun today, but what about down the line,? And of all presidents throughout history this is not the one, I want removing any of our rights.
In closing I also want to add how convenient this tragedy is. Trust me I am not saying this was a set up in anyway, but the president and congress are thrilled we're all rightfully upset and focusing on this because that way....
Us all going over the fiscal cliff is taking a back seat. Once again the media is taking Obama off the hook.
Now, enough of that. There will be people coming to your doors wearing Madd and Sadd sweat shirts.
All of them have lost loved ones to drunk drivers.
so kindly hand over your booze to them as you should not be allowed to have any.
Guess the eggnog will be a little bland this year.
