"Ban men from buying all guns?"

[Archae]

I just saw this in a thread about a shooting and 2 deaths.

I mean...

I am a man.

I used to own two guns.
(Sold both, a shotgun and a pistol)

This "ban all guns" hysterics is getting completely out of control.

[Lithos]

1. Won't work

So many ways to bypass this.... Better to do something with the guns themselves....

[Archae]

2. Like what?

Specifically.

Banning magazines with more than 10 bullets is a good start.

[Lithos]

4. You said originally banning to "men"

I'm great with banning specific configurations - but soft bans such as age, gender, will always find a way....

[oneshooter]

19. Would that include LE and military?

[Deuxcents]

3. The ammo should be real expensive and on back ordering

Banning men from guns does nothing..women buy em, too.

5. As if some of those cultist "MAGAT" women were not just as much a threat and mad as a hatter.

People are venting. Moderation can't come when emotions are at their peak. But, the truth is that we do have to address the issue of toxic masculinity in this country and guns are a BIG part of that.

6. THIS is what you think is "getting out of control"? Good God.

But, by all means, proceed with the "emotional reactions to massacres are hysterical" hysterics.

7. Where is that emoji with its head up its ass?

Why are so many people spending so much time proposing so many answers to a problem they are unwilling to actually study?

Thanks for the heads up on that thread.

8. Do you have an opinion on abortion? And have you made a detailed study of ovarian and uterine

anatomy, hormonal medicine and female psychology through the childbearing years?

Funny, that.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

9. Yes and yes, it's a long story.

As far as allowing only women to buy guns, my only question is, "Would that have included Nancy Lanza?"

[Scrivener7]

10. Sure. And see #6.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

11. re: #6 and "Sure"

#6

THIS is what you think is "getting out of control"? Good God.

Apologies if I'm wrong but I infer that your sarcasm focuses on the seriousness of mass shootings and how suggesting some reactions are "out of control". I find it helpful in most cases for people to express their feelings without having to be experts in the topics of their love or hate. I've learned the difference between posts aimed at expressing heartfelt emotions and those expressing serious ideas on legislation and politics.

Sure

Some of that is a bit personal but my wife had various difficulties in conception and delivery of our oldest and the post delivery complications. For the last 11 years she has been a cancer patient involving specific female anatomy, related surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and the side effects. She is a warrior.

14. I am sorry for your wife. But it is interesting that her travails have made you an expert in

female biology. Though, I take it you never expressed an opinion about abortion before your extensive education in that subject.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

15. Thanks

Those who fail to learn all they can about the life and death issues affecting them, IMO, are not the wisest owls in the tree. My wife and daughters have exceptionally high IQs and have studied at post grad levels in a few areas. They look to me for my opinions and input. I absolutely support and defer to their decisions on such issues.

All of my "extensive education" has been acquired through self-study and learned from the females in my family. My undergrad degree was in physics.

I generally put my money where my mouth is and have offered to finance an abortion for a family friend.

I'm not seeing how your tangent here has any relevance to the topic of this OP. If this is some half assed purity test, leave me out of it. I solely support Democrats. Period.

[Scrivener7]

16. I believe you were the one who introduced the half-assed purity test.

Have a nice day.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

17. I'm sorry if you were offended.

I did not intend to ask anything planned to be a purity test. I have no doubt you are a genuine Democrat.

You have a nice day as well.

12. When was the last time a women committed a mass murder? I suppose

it has happened but I don't recall ever hearing about one.

[Archae]

13. It doesn't matter if it's a mass murder or a single one.

Sure thing, ban guns to men!

Phil Hartman was shot and killed by his wife. (Girlfriend?)

Does that mean it makes it ok?

And men are the vast majority of hunters,

18. If I got bent out of shape...

…and responded to every gun control post asking for something that clearly has no chance of passing, I wouldn’t even have time to get up and relive myself.

They like to vent. When you read something like “ban them and let the military bomb them”, just smile and move on, as what they want isn’t going to happen. We aren’t going to ban men from buying guns, the US isn’t going to drop bombs on US Republican towns to scare the rest into handing over guns, any of the other crazy things they WOULD LIKE to see happen but is all just mental masturbation.
