This whole tragedy could've been prevented if we prevent people from owning steak knives. Plastic utensils FTW

Your call out of a another poster in your Topic Summary and in your OP has been edited out. You should know better.

I saw a story the other day, some kid OD'd on crack cocaine. My first thought of course was, "its about time we declare war on drugs!!"

Yay for Techs and his untenable arguments...

Has Techs had a history of pointing out deaths/accidents by guns?

LOL

But drugs are illegal, so how could anybody possibly obtain them and use 'em in an illegal and irresponsible manner?

The UK has already tried to ban knives... I wonder how it's working out for them... hmmm?

Oh yeah, that's right!

 

[eits]

um... knives aren't mainly made for killing. knives are made for cutting.

guns aren't used for sewing or eating or anything... their sole purpose is to kill.

See my sig. I propose a ban on driving in order to save 25 times the number killed in Iraq in the same time frame. Plus, it will solve ALOT of our gas issues

Tragedy is used by more people than just the bush administration to push a political agenda.

No, that other boy should have had a gun so he could have shot him in defense! And he should have had a gun instead of a lame knife too, so they could have shot eachother!

Is that what you want to hear?

Guns are used for hunting animals , not people

Knives are for cutting, not stabbing people...

Hmm, let's try creating a thread with stupid hyperbole first, then try confiscation.

Really, so you're on the side of most anti-gun people then it sounds like? Only guns with the purpose of hunting animals should be legal. No handguns or automatic weapons. Ok, thanks for agreeing.

Actually knives were invented to cut and skin things after they were killed. Spears were what were used to kill and invented for such a purpose.

There are six billion people on this world-the odds are pretty good that senseless tragedies like this happen frequently.

Manipulating such a tragedy to make a political point is both in very bad taste, as well as not being the least bit persuasive. OP should take note of the ineffectiveness, if not outright backfiring, of his posting.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

If only he'd had a CCW, he could've shot him and saved himself some time!

If you idiots continue trying to use every single isolated tragedy as indicative of the need for broad sweeping reforms... well, I'll continue to ignore it, I guess.

And is P&N really the place for parody threads?
