At least 14 shot, 1 dead in shooting at Cincinnati nightclub

Man in wartime watching hundreds, if not thousands of men die from gunshot wounds would want more people to use guns? He'd want more people to buy them and in turn be enabled and free to conceal them and potentially use them in a negative way?

I don't think so. I've not a clue how you can possibly believe any of the founding fathers would be okay with that.

Literal BS about that lethal weapon thing. We've the tech and science behind us to develop nonlethal methods, guns and devices. You are only correct here because those nonlethal methods won't ever be implemented. The public doesn't have access to them.

Instances can be shown where a child wouldn't hae been accidentally killed...what?!

Moron cleaning his gun fires it accidentally and kills someone. Little kid finds dads gun and shoots himself or a friend. Do you know how many people die from these two events alone every year?

The counter of criminals having lethal weapons regardless is a mute point. Nonlethal methods can be developed, should be. Should be is the correct moral ground here. Stop the production of bullets entirely and invoke nonlethal but equally effective pistols. Gun toters say no. Why? Because they want lethal.

We can do better, we should do better, every country should invest in firearms that are nonlethal and stop production of lethal rounds so those criminals have an ever dwindling reserve of bullets. While society progresses and becomes more civilized, making more nonlethal weapons and detectors of lethal weapons, those criminals lose access to bullets and guns.

Give a taddle tail clause to the US and issue great rewards for taddling on anyone who has illegal firearms. Stop production of lethal rounds entirely. If you are hunter, you need a licence and a psych check up every 6 months, then you can have your few bullets required to hunt a few deer now and then.

That is how it should be. Not your way, not continue with lethal arms just because criminals have it. As I said before, anyone and everyone who supports lethality in the modern era is a Caveman and needs to be exiled on an island somewhere. There is no place for anyone who doesn't want the world to innovate and create nonlethal but equally effective guns and the worst of it is what you said...F that innovation, the criminals have guns, so I should have them too!

THAT my friend is the wrong moral high ground. Sorry for insulting you. I'm very tired, poor excuse, but it is all I have to offer you to justify the insults I fired back.
