Gun Control: I Told You So (Nanny-Nanny Boo-Boo)

[Vuk]

No worries, mate. Calling a Godwin isn't necessarily an accusation; just an observation that over time, in any given thread, on any given topic, somebody will refer to Hitler or Nazi's. It happens here in the backroom all the time, especially in the threads that go beyond 3 pages.

Joking, Banquo's Ghost called a Godwin because of the depth and passion of your post that mentions Hitler. Continuing the joke, I pointed out how quickly Der Fuehrer was invoked.

To the topic: I read recently a movement within ATF to work up plans to somehow register ammunition. What is a gun, without bullets? Avoids the whole 2nd Am'nt thingee.

Same horse, different colour. I think that the main move behind that is that it would discourage people from buying guns because ammunition would be too expensive. If it is the same thing that I read about, it would bring the cost of a single bullet up to over a dollar. That is absurd and certainly infringes of someone's right to keep and bear arms.

Um, okay Vuk. Turnabout is fair play: the Son of Sam serial killer lived with his parents, much like Vuk. I am specifically not saying that Vuk is like the Son of Sam, but he is engaging in much the same lifestyle as the notorious killer of young men and women. Also, Charlie Manson liked to have sex with women instead of men, just like Vuk. Note that I am not saying Vuk is like Charlie Manson, I'm just mentioning the two of them repeatedly in the same sentence.

See the problem? Bringing up Hitler is a bit of a loaded thing to do, no matter how many empty disclaimers you slap over it.

Actually, that would not work, because Vuk does NOT live with his parents, and you know absolutely nothing about Vuk's lifestyle. If my politics were the politics of Stalin though, and I was leader of the country, I certainly think it would be fair game to bring that up. Even if I am not a Stalin repeat, just repeating some of the same policies, even without an evil intent, could be disasterous for the country.

I'm very happy to live in a country where nobody carries a gun. As strange as it may sound to some of you, I feel safer knowing there's no chance to get shot.

No chance of getting shot eh?
