how does an inanimate object operate in an unsafe manner, by itself?

What? Elaborate or rephrase your sentence.¯¯¯̿̿¯̿̿’̿̿̿̿̿̿̿’̿̿’̿̿;807632 said:I woud? How?
Because cars operate themselves in an unsafe manner - in and of themselves, unlike guns, which don't?
Also, where exactly am I 'afraid'? Please point this out to me.
What's really frightening is the way that it's being portrayed. If you're in a militia, you're a hate monger. If you are angry at the government, you're doing something wrong.
THAT'S what scares me.
What? Elaborate or rephrase your sentence.
No, but you certainly would punish me none the less for doing something that cannot in and of itself harm others.
It's not for me to determine what other people should or should not be afraid of, but to remain on topic (after a fashion) we were talking about me, not a fringe of a 100,000,000 person group.
obfuscate much? I didn't make it a point of brits now wanting to be armed, I made a point of gun control being a total failure, as indicated by the ease that a thug obtained a handgun via a phone call.
There are fewer gun deaths in England.
There are fewer weapons in circulation in England.
People still get shot with illegal and legal weapons in England.
They are the facts. If you want to, you can make a simple argument that one death resulting from the influence of an illegal firearm in England means that gun control does not work.
Not sure it would be a particularly strong argument myself, but you could indeed make it.

So what you've done is cherry pick a particular incident and then tried to extrapolate to the conclusion that you want.
i could also state that it has the same strength as the argument that if it saves just one life, it's worth it.
Well as a member I can say that no such attitude of fear exists.¯¯¯̿̿¯̿̿’̿̿̿̿̿̿̿’̿̿’̿̿;807644 said:Like, say, the Michigan Militia?
That's why we love you Charver.Yes, that too would perhaps be a rather simplistic argument, which is why i likely wouldn't use that either.
Then again i'm not actually arguing for or against anything here anyway, so we're all happy.![]()
it is ironic that legion derides others as "afraid" when, due to fear, he hides behind proxy servers on an anonymous message board

Well if tyranny and government oppression isn't slightly worrying to you, then you are beyond help.¯¯¯̿̿¯̿̿’̿̿̿̿̿̿̿’̿̿’̿̿;807702 said:Nope, no fear here.
Also, no creepy preoccupation with other people's identity and location.

Well it seems you've stuck to trolling, just like you did for the past several years. Are you going to answer the question I've posed so many times? What sort of gun control measures do you propose? How will they stop or lower crime? How will they be compliant with our constitutional rights?¯¯¯̿̿¯̿̿’̿̿̿̿̿̿̿’̿̿’̿̿;807722 said:Well, King of Wolverine Wusses, now it seems that your fright and being scared have morphed from 'being prepared for a possibility' to 'slighty worrying'.
You're really not too good at this debating thing, are you?
Maybe you and your fellow witless Wolverine Wussies should stick to blasting Hamm's cans off fence posts and fantasizing about 'armed rebellion'.
