Toddlers should have a variant they can suck on so it is still save.

Well prepare to be surprised, because I was just about to write words at you which would no doubt change your mind about gun rights.

To begin with,

I'm not trying to say I want them to restrict gun sales or anything, but do you really need that M16, or that M249? I just think it's a little silly that those kinds of weapons are available to the public.

I own a M9 myself just in case, absolutely no need for anything larger myself.

This is a list since 2005... USA only. It contains 62 pages of mass shooting summaries...

*dares you to read it to the end without rolling your eyes after the first alinea and going "tl;dr, but mah gunrights and Norway had this one incident since world war 2!!"

(which btw, according to report released this week could have been prevented completely if the special services had taken him serious, if the police had listened to a tip that revealed his van's license plate before he had left Oslo and if the police had used the helicopter to arrive faster instead of traveling by car, waiting and taking the boat to the wrong island...)

There is no situation a civilian could find themselves in where a weapon like that would be necessary. If you really own an automatic shotgun, at least cop to the fact that you own it because you think it's cool and it makes you feel powerful.

I can think of a situation where a civilian would find that necessary: home invasion by multiple armed assailants.

What about post apocalyptic zombie epidemic? An undead islamic army lead by Khadaffi and Saddam Hussein? Or invasion of aliens from Area 51, hunting armed Big Foots? Or when Superman is ill and can't protect the earth from mutants? Or ethnic cleansing or shooting at rival gangs or robbing a bank, killing mobs of innocents, oh wait... That wouldn't be done by all those nice, responsible people, ehr...

I'm sure you have a point, and I'm sure eventually you'll fucking get to it. Unfortunately, I don't have time to sit here waiting for it as I'm due for a twelve-hour shift today and tonight I have video-gaming to do when I get home. So I'll check back in tomorrow morning in hopes that you've cut the sarcastic horse shit and made a coherent point as a rebuttal to what you quoted.

Those who have never had a right cannot understand the position of those that do have that right. You can argue numbers, statistics, and insult the opposition all you want. At the end of the day, I still have the right to my guns and I'll still protect that right as fiercely as I protect my other rights.

I'm not sure I buy it. I mean that sounds like a situation more likely to be found in a movie than in real life. I mean why would you need an automatic shotgun? Would a semi-automatic handgun not do the trick? Did a Mexican drug cartel put out a hit on you, a la Scarface? Does this sort of thing happen often?

I just don't think our homes are being invaded by squads of heavily armed assailants in a high enough frequency to justify people arming themselves in preparation for it. I imagine a handgun would do the trick. Unless you're Miami's most notorious drug kingpin.

Why will I 'never' understand? Please explain to me why I'm incapable of learning this. I love hearing things about myself when explained by people who have never met me and don't know anything I don't personally tell them.
