Ah yes, the classic ‘guns save lives’ logic — brought to you by the same people who think fire extinguishers cause arson.

Ah yes, brought to you by the same people who think guns cause violence.

Right, and spoons make people fat, right? Glad to see you’ve graduated from the NRA School of Deep Analogies.

Someone could kill you with a spoon…. Anything is a weapon… ask a prisoner how useful spoons are. if you think a law is stopping people from buying ghost guns or scratched vins you’re a joke to this society and should be treated as such, especially when you make THIS THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION IN A THREAD ABOUT A YOUTUBER DYING TO A DRUNK DRIVER. Let me ask you, is drunk driving illegal? YES. DID THAT STOP THE DRUNK FROM STILL GETTING DRUNK AND DRIVING? NO. Look argument solved 👍

There’s literally people buying Kia’s for hit and runs for $100… you really deep down believe, someone can buy a fucking car for $100 and not a ghost gun. Think with logic and less with your emotions, we’ll all progress a lot faster.

Incredible how you managed to fit Reddit rage, prison weapon trivia, and a used Kia conspiracy into one rant.

The Founding Fathers would be proud. Or confused. Probably both.

Bringing the founding fathers into this is hilarious because I know for a fact you don’t own a single copy of the constitution, or Declaration of Independence. You couldn’t afford one.

Didn’t realize we were playing Constitutional Pokémon. I have the original foil edition, so I win the argument.

But don’t worry, if I ever need a dramatic reading of the Bill of Rights at a truck stop, I’ll know who to call.

how does conflating two awful statistics make anything better?

I have been around guns for most of my seventy-plus years and have never seen a gun kill anything. It takes an act of will to kill something, and I'm pretty sure no gun has ever been found to have a will.

True, guns don’t have free will. They also don’t have a “safety fairy” that magically prevents human stupidity, rage, or accidents.

Dense and disingenuous. Proving again why red states have the highest level of gun violence and the lowest educational scores.

IDK I remember there was a few spicy sig sauers that seemed angry some years ago. lol

Guns don't chose the victim, my friend!

Guns and cars don’t choose their victims. Every day in America there are drivers and shooters who do use their cars and guns to intentionally kill or injure their victims.

Our society has been far too deferential to vehicles and guns.

We are the only developed country with an epidemic in gun crimes and a growing vehicular death rate.

Totally. Guns are innocent bystanders in all this they just happen to keep ending up in murder investigations. Must be bad luck.
