I think you meant murder is bad for society, because gun ownership never killed anyone.

  No, it only (along with a society of trigger happy idiots and borderline sociopaths doing the owning) vastly increased the chances murder will happen.

    It sounds like you are calling us gun owners trigger happy idiots and borderline sociopaths.
    • coldtea 13y ago
      Indeed I am.

        There's no rational reason for you to say that about a person you don't know. That's ignorant and textbook prejudice.

    >There's no rational reason for you to say that about a person you don't know. That's ignorant and textbook prejudice. Why would I have to know the person? Just the fact that he likes owning guns is enough. It's a specific mentality that makes you like those kind of things.

  No, I agree with the GP. There's a lot of people who buy guns in order to feel powerful and fantasize endlessly about having a justification for using it. Even if they never shoot anyone they tend to approach any and all conflicts in zero-sum terms. Also, they're incredibly tedious to talk to at parties.
