School Shooting in Knoxville

[NorthDallas40]

Yeah but you're an engineer and have no social skills and don't relate with humans well. So I'm not sure that's a point in my favor.

You complete me

 

[McDad]

You complete me

Frightening.

Feel as passionate about all preventable deaths?

I wish.
I exhausted my argument batteries with a candy bar debate this afternoon in the OT thread.

We are on a regionally-associated anonymous Internet forum. I invite you to carry your views to a forum with an association in a less gun-friendly region.

I made my point, and it rings true. Keep devaluing competing perspectives at your own peril.

Still searching for the point you think you have made.

An automobile actually has a brain and can even drive itself today. A firearm is an inert group of formed metal pieces incapable of doing any action on its own. I’d say the auto clearly has more propensity for destruction from its own capability.

That's all true, BUT no one buys an automobile to use as a weapon

Irrelevant. The “a firearms only purpose is to kill people” broke back implied point has already landed with a resounding thud. An automobile can start itself, drive itself, and run over unintended things.

Lol I’m inclined to respond with “of course”, but I’m sure I could be proven wrong.

It's another reason I liked my illustration. Alcohol's purpose is to inebriate. So if the beef is with either purpose or quantity, alcohol is far more deadly and destructive than guns.

We agree again. See...legit debate and common ground is possible.

An automobile's intended function isn't as a lethal weapon

So? If a teddy bear is used to murder someone are they less dead because that’s not an intended use for a teddy bear?

Nashville bomber?

Yep. And good ole Luther bobbed and weaved to avoid the point completely as usual. But also alcohol is an inert object. Let’s hope Elon Musk never installs opposable thumbs on his damn cars or they will buy their own liquor, get hammered, and kill us all. Thus at that point the only logical solution would be to limit automobile ownership to people.

Yes... this is exactly how the gun grabber mind works.

Nashville bomber?

Any car bomber. OK City bombers.

OKC rented didn’t buy.

Just wanted to point that out before one of the mouth breathers takes a victory lap for doing so.

Noted. Let’s expand to “acquired”. The only clear solution is to require a NICS check on any UHaul or Ryder rentals.

WTF??? Why you hatin on Teddy Bears??

 

[McDad]

If the goal is to limit preventable death, wouldn't it make more sense to outlaw fatty foods and limit steak to once per month?

They scare me.

GTFO with your food heresy. My body my choice.

or seriously increase the standards to get a drivers license. Require monthly vehicle safety inspections.

Oh, I like that one.

How bout limit everyone to 5 texts per month since texting while driving is a national crisis? Or ban phones with text capabilities?

Ban assault smart phones. Nobody needs a phone with that kind of capability.

I think all first responders to an automobile crash (there are very few accidents) should have big push bars on their cars/trucks. Their first order of business should be to push the wrecked vehicles off the road and get traffic flowing.
