ban thumbs?

16 Jul 10:46

No, that is what the NRA and gun lobby want you to think as a gun owner

16 Jul 10:46

you can kill someone with your thumb if you know how

16 Jul 10:46

what is the point of comparing a machete with a gun?

16 Jul 10:45

isn't that what gun control is all about? That's what the politicians here want to do, ban things

16 Jul 10:45

I don't think Jan or I were ever talking about banning.

16 Jul 10:44

do we ban those too?

16 Jul 10:44

my father was once menaced by a dude with a machete standing around outside a hotel

16 Jul 10:44

Doesn't tend to work that way, violence doesn't require a gun

16 Jul 10:40

you prevent the problem before you even have to protect anyone

16 Jul 10:40

that is how protection works

16 Jul 10:40

if it would happen it would be a big deal

16 Jul 10:39

I was talking about gun violence in my sphere, I mean no one I ever met & talked to in my life has ever even had to be scared to have this happen

16 Jul 10:38

but in my lifespan? never

16 Jul 10:37

he threw his bookbag at them and they ran away

16 Jul 10:37

...

16 Jul 10:37

okay, maybe once, my father was mugged in D.C, but guns are banned there

16 Jul 10:36

never ever

16 Jul 10:36

so you dont know anyone who has?

16 Jul 10:36

maybe part of that is not living in a big city, but still

16 Jul 10:36

ah...there we go

16 Jul 10:36

it's pretty rare actually

16 Jul 10:36

I own a gun, I know many people who do, and I have never had any contact with gun violence either

16 Jul 10:36

i wonder if that is a coincidence

16 Jul 10:35

Partly because people go after normal citizens like they are witches or something just 'cause they happen to own firearms

16 Jul 10:35

i dont know anyone who owns a gun and i also have no one who even has made contact with gun violence in the slightest

16 Jul 10:35

I wonder why it gets so devisive?

16 Jul 10:34

say that next time to my face when someone gets shot for some stupid reason

16 Jul 10:34

But Jan isn't American...

16 Jul 10:34
