I already have. I said I could attack you with a knife and kill you. You said, "no you're wrong" multiple times.

You said if I was confronted with a thug with a knife I'd necessarily be dead or brain damaged etc. I said no, you're wrong. Which you are.

knife and/or baseball bat.

Yes, you said no and used your experience with a drunk, heavily incapacitated knife wielder as an argument. Yeah, that's valid. :rolleyes:

In any case, think I'll take a page out of my own book and stop arguing with you. Not worth my time. I do however invite you to visit the great city of New York and walk around some of the worse areas at night to test your theory.

Good call, you can't play with the big boys, so don't try.

Then stop acting like it is.

It's not directly my issue, but it is a global problem. It affects me as much as the earthquakes in Japan do, and I talk to people about them... So.... No I won't stop talking about this.

This reminds me of the thread a while back where Alkemyst said he could take down 3 guys armed with knives with his superior Karate skills, so there was no need for him to own a gun.


Lolapalooza.


How is Utah making the 1911 its official state gun a global problem?

So, the words "In God We Trust" on US currency somehow affects you, or people in the USA carrying a gun somehow affects you? Interesting.

Legal firearm ownership in the USA is a global problem how, exactly?

So you don't think the fact that one of the most powerful countries in the world, with "americanisation" everywhere arming themselves to the teeth isn't a global problem?

OK I'll rephrase: the fact that one of the most powerful countries in the world, with "americanisation" everywhere arming themselves to the teeth is a global problem.

People would have done that even without "americanization". A lot of people also see that citizens arming themselves is a successful way to overthrow the government. And a lot of times, it is a fucked up government they are trying to overthrow. We did it, lots of people have done it its part of life. It is the same as 1500 years ago when everyone had a sword. Except today the sword is the gun.


Pretty good inforgraphic
