Boy, 11, Brings Loaded Gun to NYC School

Because the original comment was about NYC being a gun free zone in addition to the school being a gun free zone. You know illustrating the absolute absurdity that this law can actually stop people from bringing in guns.

And I responded back by saying that just because they don't work 100% of the time doesn't mean they don't do anything. And I referenced the murder/assault/rape, just because a ban on guns in NYC doesn't stop everyone from doing it doesn't mean you should get rid of the law.

You see in your attempt to try and keep you, you miss important details. Instead of trying to keep up, let's stay on topic?

Except the comment you originally replied to. The whole thing this entire discussion was based on.

The discussion was based on a sarcastic comment about how a law didn't prevent a crime. I guess creating a law that says you shouldn't vandalize Government property doesn't do anything because people are going to do it anyways.

You mean threats that don't exist like gun bans on entire geographical areas. Say like an entire city?

oh nice red herring

Strawman. Particularly funny since I already told you that I wasn't arguing against restrictions on minors or students carrying firearms. At this point it looks like you are realizing you can't provide a cogent argument and are just knocking over a strawman before you clumsily run away from this discussion.

No, I realize that by not staying on topic and being pro-gun you weren't going to be able to carry a discussion. Got any more buzzwords you want to try and accuse me of? Because you have the red herring down pretty good.

No shit? You're antigun? I couldn't even tell by your "defense" of gun free zone laws.

Can't articulate why people(adults) shouldn't be allowed to carry when on or near campuses nor can you articulate how it actually mitigates violent crimes. Just it is obvious we should have these laws for schools.

Oh no I can articulate, it's just the fact that shootings can and will happen on campus. You can't tell a good guy from a bad guy till it's to late.
