Banning Guns = Banning Islam?

This is exactly the point I was trying to make with my initial post.

It is wrong to punish the vast majority because of the actions of a tiny minority, whether that be Muslims or gun owners.

Thanks for making my point.

That's not my point at all. My point was that I can believe how bigoted people can be to start making racist remarks like the one above on a message thread in a forum like this. I don't think saying I'd like to ban guns is quite as racist as saying banning islam saves lives of children and the muslim faith is akin to nazi ideology. I think we're talking about 2 quite different things here.

but your point hasnt been made in the slightest...

are you seriously saying that more legislattion and control on your handgun is a "punishment" thats comparable to banning someones religion???

thats insane... making someone go through a series of administerial procedures and test to have a gun is a whole lot more different than banning someones religion..

I'm talking about people wanting to ban guns. Have you not read this thread?

i have read it and yet i have no idea who you are directing the thread at then


i think there are about 3 people on this board who want to ban guns completely...so making arbitary analogies seems pretty futile


and please explain how negationist's post actually "makes your point" then?

interesting theory, but then again this thread was started by somebody who once said the only way to solve terrorism is genocide.
