The US is still full of good people and so long as those people are allowed to have guns, I'm staying.

Once the government disarms us, I'll probably leave. That will be the final nail in freedom's coffin.



I can't wait to disarm you, brother. And the country will be better for it. Hand over those guns!


Sure. Let's make sure only the government has guns. That always works out well, nothing bad ever happened with that.

Our democratic government has never used force illegally, violated our rights, and has never exceeded its Constitutional authority. That's why there are so many popular posts on HN lauding the US government for its benevolence.

Let me ask you, specifically, why would you want to disarm me?

Take away guns, I have knife. Take away knifes, I have fertilizer and diesel fuel. Take those away, I have propane tanks and model rocket engines. Take those away, I have beer bottles, gasoline, and rags.

Take all that away and we can't have BBQ's because no one has fuel to get there, propane to grill, beers to drink, knives to cut meat, and rags to clean up. I don't want to live in your "safe" world.

Bother, you have effect confused with cause. Guns don't cause violence. People cause violence and will use what ever tool is at their disposal to have that effect.


Lots of brave down voters with no logical discourse to offer today.


Perhaps because there are plenty of countries whose populations aren't armed, yet still capable of hosting a BBQ?
