I am pro second amendment also, and would run from someone shooting a gun at people. What is he supposed to be doing?

Be the good guy with the gun. Isn't that the reason we need unfettered access to guns?

I dont carry a gun, and my access to something is not why I am in favor of it being legal. Do you want legalized marijuana just because you want to use it or because you think everyone should be allowed to use it?

"I support face eating leopards and would run from one"

Guns are a federally protected right, and yes I would run someone that was shooting at people. You wouldnt?

my dude... of course I would, thats why I dont support gun rights... thats my point...

How would you not supporting gun rights take the guns out of the hands of the shooter(s)?

The same way it works in all other countries. Is not a coincidence that the US is the only country where gun ownership is a right in the constitution and the country #1 in school shootings.

How would you get hundreds of millions of guns out of circulation without making tens of millions of law abiding americans into criminals?

Do you support them being legal and almost entirely unregulated? Because that is the GOP position and there is a big gulf between the two.

I have no problem with guns being legal. Unlike Republicans, though, I don't want them in the hands of, for example, the criminally insane.

I do support unregulated guns, but I am willing to compromise. Right now guns are extremely regulated particularly in some states, which is wrong. I think the biggest problem is that the regulations that some people want are ineffective at best.

I do support unregulated guns

Really? So guns for toddlers? Guns for people who have been institutionalized multiple times? Guns for people who have committed treasonous acts?

A former school shooter gets out of prison- give them a gun?

Guns for people who have committed treasonous acts?

This is the exact reason I support unregulated gun use, because people can claim things and then people lose rights.

Right, so you think clinically insane people and toddlers should have guns.

I think the only valid point you have is that insane people shouldnt have guns; toddlers parents should be in charge of what they have access to. So if you proposition is that we only limit guns to insane people, I agree to this compromise.

toddlers parents should be in charge of what they have access to.

Got it. Parents get to decide whether or not toddlers should have access to drugs.

Strawman

Nope, logical inference based on what you said.

Or does "toddlers parents should be in charge of what they have access to" mean something non-literal? Was it metaphorical? I doubt it.

If you're going to make sweeping general statements that apply in every situation, that's not my fault.

Nope, drugs are directly harmful, a child could hold and carry an unloaded weapon with no issue. Or they could shoot a gun that shoots something non lethal.

The purpose of a joint isn't to kill people. Go ahead, say guns aren't for killing, it'll save a lot of back-and-forth.

I was responding to the idea I want gun rights so I can be a hero. I want people to have guns because they want guns for any variety of reasons. I want legal marijuana because people want marijuana. Both have externality and benefits.

I want people to have guns because they want guns for any variety of reasons

Everyone who takes firearms training learns that the purpose of a gun is to kill things. It is a weapon, and killing is its only purpose. Any reasons to want a weapon involve harming or killing others, or the threat thereof - even if the reason given is "protection", it's only protection in the context of hurting or killing someone before they hurt or kill someone else. This is why cannabis and cars are not a valid comparison.

Guns are for a lot more than just killing. Two other obvious things are target shooting and threat deterrent. Then there is the reason to prevent tyranny.

Target shooting, to make sure you can hit what you're aiming at. Threat deterrent, with the threat of force. "To prevent tyranny" by killing people.

Every reason is a derivative of causing harm. Every single one.

Literally people buy guns to shoot targets. Do you really think people buy 22lr to kill? I have weapons used for target practice and I no plans of shooting anything.

And threat deterrent is more than tyranny, people carry guns so people know they have guns so they are less likely to be attacked (at least that is teh theory).

Everyone should be allowed to use it, because cannabis isn't a deadly weapon.

Knives and bats are deadly weapons too, so no knives and bats?
