Scrum the CDC study was in the omnibus. But I have your study right here. Some humans do not care about committing violence against other humans and they will use whatever tool necessary to do just that. Nothing can be done to stop that as long as humans exist. Every single step you want to make that is an emotional reaction will NEVER be enough to make you happy!
Be honest with yourself and reflect on this hypothetical situation for a moment. Say you get everything your asking for right now. All of it. There still WILL be mass shootings. So when the next one would occur, you are going to tell me that you'll be fine stopping there and what you got was enough? This is a total bullshit lie and you know it. You'll want more "reasonable" measures to be taken. This is he death by a thousand cuts Bouncer is talking about.

Your argument is like saying - We had these kickass steel landyachts we used to drive around in. Yeah, thousands of people died but so what. Then the scientists got into the middle of it. First they had this crazy idea that if they tied themselves to the seat, then it would help. Sure, it made a huge difference. But did they stop there? No sir, they didn't. Next thing, they decided that crumple zones were a good idea. So, cars got totaled in the front, but drivers were able to walk away. But no dice, these asshole scientists weren't about to stop there, were they? They did some cockamamie research that if they raised the brake lights to the top of the rear window, then other cars can see them better. What the hell kind of pinko commie shit is that? Then, they wanted these pillows to pop out of the steering wheel in case of an accident. Airbags, they called it. That made a huge difference in cutting down the number od injuries and deaths. But these scientists were on a roll and weren't about to stop. Next thing you know, we had side curtain airbags and airbags to protect your legs and all kinds of shit. Then things got ugly. They started messing with the brakes, preventing them from locking up, and then, they had traction sensing differentials, giving power to wheels that had traction and taking them away from ones that didn't.
Talk about death by a thousand cuts. And they haven't stopped yet. Every time we turn around, there's another new thing that's been added. All wheel drive, snowflake emblem winter tires, runflat tires, TPMS, you name it. This is EXACTLY why we should NEVER have allowed the damn seatbelts in the first place.

yet gun related death doesn't even come close to car related death in this country when you take away the suicide aspect. texting and driving, speeding, running signs and lights, and alcohol behind the wheel are not simply "accidents" when they end in the death of another innocent party.. they are murder.Originally posted by Scrumhalf View PostYour argument is like saying - We had these kickass steel landyachts we used to drive around in.

and despite everything you may believe to the contrary, gun related violence continues to drop in America.

his argument will be, "cars have all these restrictions and they aren't banned yet".Originally posted by chuckz28 View PostYou just validated my point scrum. The left will not stop with what you are asking for because the deaths will not stop. They will always continue to ask for more concessions. The only end game is no guns in the country.
to that I would say, once they work out all the kinks of self driving cars there will be a point where a state like California and New York will say "in the name of public safety we are phasing out human drivers over the next 10 years" or something along those lines. make no mistake, at some point it will be mandatory to only have a car that drives itself. in other words, that freedom that most of us enjoy will be stripped of us in the name of safety at some point in the future, make no mistake. it's many years down the road but it's coming in the nanny state. it will start out with trucking, taxis, uber etc.. and then it will spread to civilian vehicles. it will simply be a feature at first. people will slowly get used to that feature. kids wont grow up enjoying the thrill of a good drive. they will put it on auto pilot so they can get on their smart phones etc.. after awhile a large part of the population will favor banning "normal cars" in the name of safety.

'Roseanne' Ratings Climb, Hit 25 Million Viewers With Time-Shifting Record
The comedy's first telecast after a 20-year break also hits an obscene 7.3 rating in the key demo.
Roseanne's ratings riches keep climbing, hitting a record haul for Nielsen's live-plus-3 ratings growth.
The new totals for the Mar. 27 premiere have the ABC comedy totaling 25 million viewers and a massive 7.3 rating among adults 18-49. Looking at just the audience, the 6.6 million viewer add-on from the premiere night is a time-shifting record. And that doesn't even include the additional 4.3 million viewers who tuned into an encore telecast on Sunday night — or the growth it will see from Hulu and ABC streaming.
