You really have to love Maryland sometimes.

It's great.

Unless you're the one who happens to be getting chopped up by a crazy person with a battle axe.

[illinoismommy]

My point is not that I want to limit your right, idiot.

[dug a]

Then what is your point?

[Houtan]

Did you even read what I said?

My point is that conservatives often criticize these incidents because the victim didn't have a gun to defend himself, when they are not even looking at the actual problem, which is the aggressors owning the gun in the first place.

[abdoodls]

"Conservatives often criticize these incidents" where people are victimized by a gun-wielding aggressor?

No.

Conservatives don't criticize such incidents, but do generally cite them as a good reason why gun rights shouldn't be infringed, so that you have the right to defend yourself with a firearm against such criminals.

I think conservatives would also agree with you that the problem is that criminals own guns. Their solution is to get criminals off the streets if possible, and arm yourself against them to avoid becoming a victim.

You said you don't want to limit the right for law-abiding citizens to arm themselves, so it sounRAB like you fully agree with those you labeled 'conservatarRAB', no?

Better one criminal be killed than ten victims be injured or killed.

CCW permits for all non-criminals!

[Angga Andrio P]

Well since all they do is wish and not actually have done a damn thing and more innocent people die at the hanRAB of criminals with guns, then I am still right.

[Caral]

Potential victims owning guns does address the problem. It's called equalization of force. if you outlaw knives over 4" in length, the aggressors aren't going to care. They'll acquire long knives on the black market, or they'll manufacture one themselves. Since it isn't possible to unlearn mankind of the reality of guns, the logical alternative is equalization of force- give the victim the same power as the aggressor.

If we outlaw Medieval Style Battle Axes, then only criminals will have Medieval Style Battle Axes.

[Manshi]

it was probably some cheap ass sheet metal repro, an authentic battle axe would have taken the dudes arm off and he would have leaked to death
