    This thread is still going?

    This topic is like abortion, gay marriage and obamacare, you're either "for it" or "against it."

    Lock this thread mods it's only going to get worse...
    I know, I hate this topic. I completely regret ever posting here. :fp:

    Hahahaaa, so do I! I actually only came in here to ask why the fuck people are still posting! Then I got caught up!

    In fact, I just wrote an incredibly long (and friendly) response to you, PJ_Soul (I think we agree actually) but then I deleted the fucking thing because I felt like an ass for getting dragged into this shit! ;)

    I'm going back to bullshitting about Lightning Bolt now :D

    Ed,

    While I fully support your use of freedom of speech over the years, your statement in this interview is of pure ignorance. I'm not going to debate gun control or the politics around it, its your choice to not own a gun and I fully support that. But to wish harm on gun control opponents? I hope karma takes a big bite out of your ass on that comment alone.

    I own and legally conceal carry 1 handgun. I do not hunt, it is not used for sport, it is simply for the protection of my family. My gun is never seen by my children, and it's "never fucking laying around". I know where this gun is 24/7. This gun was purchased in the wake of the Colorado Movie Theater shooting, and the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting after I had recently become a father. Not only would I die for my children, but I would also Kill for them. Apparently, you do not value your children as highly as I do, which is a shame.

    I hope my gun is never used in the manner in which it is intended, but the world is a crazy place and i will never hesitate to protect my family.

    This law abiding, licensed gun owner and supporter will see you in the PIT at both Philly shows. You can expect a middle finger on night one from me for your ignorance.

    Nothing is as it seems.
    Allow me to whisper this through a megaphone...

    Guns are the biggest illusion of 'freedom' known to mankind.

    Think about that for a bit. I mean really think about it.

    Not for guns but he is using a dangerous weapon and I'm sure he's done it having a few Coronas. Just saying.[/quote]
    An ax isn't a weapon. It's a tool for cutting wood. People can also hurt other with their own feet, but that doesn't mean that feet should be compared to guns, come on. :roll: This kind of comparison has been done to death, and it never works.[/quote]


    More people die from feet and axes than guns[/quote]
    Stats please.[/quote]

    http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/cr ... ta-table-8

    In 2011, 9,878 people died in drunk driving crashes - one every 53 minutes

    National Highway Traffic Safety Administration FARS data, 2012.

    - See more at: http://www.madd.org/drunk-driving/about ... MX0o4.dpuf

    In 2011 8,583 people were murdered by guns according to FBI stats


    Now when you drive drunk, your foot pushes the peddle. Thus more people were killed by feet in 2011 than guns. That doesn't even count all the other ways people use their feet to kill.

    I don't have anything solid on the axe claim. So I will retract that part because I'm too lazy to dig :D
  • My comment to the OP was moreabout giving Ed the middle finger at one of the shows. I hope he tells security to kick you out for being a douchebag.

    Being a Police Officer, the issue people have in my profession is that stricter gun laws just affect and punish the average law abiding citizen. Criminals get guns regardless and don't abide by any rules stricter or not. We always joke that there are some pretty strict laws on possessing coke, heroin and meth but the criminals seem to have no problem getting their hands on those "illegal" items. There are responsible gun owners out there, I come in contact with them all the time but I also see more criminals carrying non licensed illegal guns (usually with their heroin, coke and meth). IBTL

    Boom! Thanks for posting this.

    It sounds like we need to legalize heroin, coke, and meth then, right? People are getting it anyways, so why not legalize the shit. Seems like it could cut down on gun violence too...

    If by "people" you mean "criminals" then yes. But those drugs destroy lives in any and every scenario. The use of guns (by responsible people) don't and their rights shouldn't be hindered just because criminals can get them so easily. My point is that I am a "responsible" gun owner and need a gun for work. But due to these new laws, I can't even go out and buy ammo to practice on my own and I only am supplied with ammo once a year through my work. I also can carry a certain magazine (number of rounds) at work but I can't buy the same magazine to practice with as that is illegal. Bad people will obtain bad things (drugs and illegal guns) regardless of what good people do, I am saying that making it more difficult for good people to obtain legal things is not right. But everyone is entitled to their opinion so I understand why some people don't like guns.

    When american's finally decide to get rid of guns then it will be a saver country, why is a country so stuck on a piece of paper wrote 300 odd years ago, same with the loons who follow the bible word for word. Why like your life dedicated to old doctrine that suited a time and place. Does it not make sense to evaluate modern society and base laws on that.

    it's called an amendment. there's 27 of them. and ireland is the the model of non-violence. I heard londonderry (or derry) has always been a quiet peaceful place.

    Yea and they are draconian you are living by rules made 300 years ago, thats daft, It'a derry to man and using that as an example shows how little you know about the troubles. In the 40 years of war in the north 3000 people died compare that with america in 2012 where 10,078 people died via guns. The deaths by guns in ireland since we have had peace is double figures yearly so you tell me which country has matured, there was a political violent war here.

    To say a non gun owning parent doesn't value their children as much as a gun owning parent is a really ignorant statement.
