This isn’t an issue, anymore. Next! ehehehe
Guns for civilians. I am yes for background checks. Maybe also licenses. But not bans. A total gun style ban is equivilant to SOPA/PIPA.

LOL, making a plastic gun with a $3000 printer in a war (yes, the printers use plastic). I like the realism here.

Enough of this LOL crap. If I had a nickle for every time you used LOL, I’d be eating nickle soup. Shut up the LOL sh!t.
Also, why does every one here think it’s easy to make guns? Does any of you know how to? Huh?
And karmakoolkid, your ‘argument’ is made up of complete biased opinion. Maybe you shouldn’t go on the internet while you are drunk from that 16-pack of beer.
tenco1, you should shut up too. Your “I’m obviously right because I sorta agree but- HOLY CRAP YOU’RE WRONG SINCE YOU ARE PRO GUN DOWN WITH THE NRA!!!!!!!!!!!” is really taking up a lot of space.
jhco50: I refrain from quoting you. However, you can get hot headed.
Not saying that everyone here is an idiot (I’m here, right?) because I’m pretty sure 1% is good information but it’s mainly opinion.
Oh, and karmakoolkid, LOL LOL LOL I’M YOU AND PRO GUN PEOPLE ARE FUNNY LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Yeah quit it.
Either way, guns aren’t the only weapon on earth.

Gun Issues
Using guns for murder is like using power tools for building a birdhouse. The power tool doesn’t make you want to build any more than a hammer, but with responsibility you can use it right if you’re a builder. Some people tend to misuse it, however, because they think it makes them a builder just to have it, and they end up making something shameful. However, a power tool is in no way necessary to build, for one can just use a hammer and nails. Some people refuse to believe that you can use a hammer in place of a power tool because it can’t do as much. However, a regular hammer is just as able to build as a power drill…

Need Help Disproving Myself Proving 1 = 2
So I was messing around trying to prove 1 = 2 and it worked. Help.
Formula:
a = x
a + x = x+x
a+x = 2x
(a+x)/x = (2x)/x
[(a+x)/x] 2 = [(2x)/x] 2
(a 2 +x 2 )/x 2 = (2 2 x 2 )/x 2
a 2 / x 2 + 1 = 4
a 2 / x 2 = x 2 / x 2 (since a = x)
1 + 1 = 4
2 = 4
1 = 2

and how many times have guns in private ownership stopped shootings? mainstream media tends to highlight the bad things in life, just to get more people to turn in. and i’m sure we can agree the best bad guy is a dead bad guy.
Please add statistics for other crimes as well.

Does God exists? and why?
Look, I don’t put my time into religion, just so you know. The term of “god” is flexible. God as a person? No. As a thing beyond comprehension? Yes.

A gun is simply a tool. And an impressive one, too. They look cool.

Fire is now 30 pts. No results so far, but it seems VERY close for new additions. (most basic additions take 35 techpoints)
Ok… that gives you 35 timbers presently, and 5 food.
Might I advise you send at least 1 infantry squad to explore?
I will take you up on that.

Gun Issues
Takes motive and means, guns remain a hell of a means. They empower, they enable. They allow a whole list of stupid, hostile decisions to be readily executed. They are a most capable tool, and will always bear some consideration in that regard. Skyscrapers don’t exactly self assemble, some things are only possible at the right time with the right tools.
Aye, but motives are important and guns don’t provide such. If every legal gun owner just locked up their crap like they should, and I’m not sure if they don’t, this would be over.
There was a time in my life when honestly yes, quite likely. Spooky huh?
Ah, yes. And that’s why people are limited and have to pass for permits.
Internal non violent resistance can topple any would be autocrats. Most cultures don’t have the nerve however.
LOL… The average US citizen who plays COD all day and uses a wrench for a weapon times 30,000 VS 1,000 armed soliders… <sarcasm> Obviously the first would win, right? </sarcasm>

Look, if you have no perception on what religion is, then you are an uninformed person who has no debating rights.

Really?
So something that can easily be deduced from observing how it works with other people who are younger than you and by looking at history that was recorded before your birth and had an effect on today is similar to accepting a totally baseless claim that you have no evidence for whatsoever other than faith.
Interesting.
The birth of Jesus was recorded before you were born. What’s to say what’s real? That’s why it’s called faith.

No, it’s the belief where the universe and its history was created when you were, and you subconscious is God, or somesuch.
Basically, it’s selfish and naive.
Same @ you.

Oh great, now we’re going into that non-belief whose name I can’t remember again.

Either way, I don’t care because it matters not yet- and also so for but death.

Gun Issues
Originally posted by Draconavin:
I wasn’t going to reply because this thread is filled with circular arguments, but…
We know that humans are the problem, and that they can be careless if not trained. Just because a few people can handle guns responsibly, and are fortunate enough to handle guns safely—locking them up, and putting them in secure locations—where it would make it near impossible for the irresponsible to get guns—children/teenagers looking for fun, as well as criminals, and the nervous. Doesn’t mean that we should allow every Tom, Dick, and Harry to own a gun. This is where the mistake comes in. We are marketing guns to everyone, and all types of guns, as well, to make more people skew their viewpoints to become gun aficionados where they would like them for display purposes to show off to those around them.
But for safety, they have to secure these items, which, very few people do. Especially, the poor and lower middle class say: “F*** it, why store it, when I can just leave it in my closet,” or what have you. This is how accidents happen and this what the majority of gun owners are like. They are not all like you, jhco. Just because you might be responsible does not make the larger sum of people as responsible as you. Only a few of you actually follow the safety guidelines. That’s why, at the very least, we need government to impose as many good regulations, now, for the safe handling of guns, and the enjoyment factor will follow. Since you don’t want to go to a safer society then you choose to live in limbo between random mass shooting massacres, and fun in the sun while you go to gun events or shooting ranges. Your representatives, by the way, only follow the money, and exploiting peoples fears and ignorance is great business for us, the wealthy.
Just saying…
But what fraction of people are responsible? What if 95% of the word is responsible? What if-
WHAT. IF.
We can’t determine responsibility. It is a variable thing, and such opinions can’t be measured.

I will give props to anyone who can translate this into English.
If I understand what you’re trying to say (which I would never even begin to claim), the entire period of time before you were alive is rather unperceived, so it must not exist either huh?
who’s to say it did?
