It's one of many tools that could be used for that particular job. How many actual hunters you suppose we have in this country? Round 300 million or so?The Conservative wrote:So, hunting, a gun isn't being used as a tool?

As for nationwide, around 18.4 Million.

Re: LET'S BAN GUNS!
Paywall, but I'll take your word for it. Now, how about the number of gun owners in America? 50 million you say? Well shucks, that's 30 million+ people that don't go hunting, but own guns.The Conservative wrote:I know more than a 100 in my circle...GrumpyCatFace wrote:It's one of many tools that could be used for that particular job.

How many guns are we talking about here? 300 million? 6 guns per owner?
Hmmm... Seems like a whole hell of a lot of tool sales, for something that's not being used. Do we buy 6 chainsaws each? 6 log splitters? I wonder what's different...

Re: LET'S BAN GUNS!
Why do Americans need 50 books, or more, per capita? In fact, why do they *need* them at all?
Why do Americans need access to all the stuff on the WWW? In fact, why do they *need* internet access at all?
Why do Americans need 1,000 different churches to attend? In fact, why do they *need* churches at all?
Why do Americans need to have some unspecified number of clubs to belong to? In fact, why do they *need* to be gathering together in private at all?
Justify to the state why you *need* all this shit, and maybe the state will negotiate with you about what is appropriate. Maybe.
Think about your position on how many guns an American *needs.* If you find that your position on self-defense or any other fundamental human right even smells like it could be for prior restraint subject to license granted by the tender mercies of Nancy Pelosi, et al, then your position is straight-up fucked. Fucked from the start. End of story.

Re: LET'S BAN GUNS!
It's always weird when GCF argues with me because I definitely want to take away his enfranchisement in the vote, but then he goes on to defend the idea of disarming the American people. He doesn't seem to know how to connect the dots..
