But...but...its the Gun dammit

[sirs]

Yeah, it is just like a seatbelt.

IT'S USED LIKE A SEATBELT....AS IN A CHOICE TO BETTER PROTECT ONESELF

Do you actually expect to be in an accident everytime you get behind the wheel?  Seriously??

Sorry, guns and seatbelts are not the same thing. They are nothing alike.

How often have you had to defend yourself with a gun, really?

My guess is ZERO.

Once, if you count my mother defending tiny me.

My Brother once for certain.

These incidents are not recorded anywhere.

This is only three less people the world would have , but it is an important set to me.

I knew a person who knew she was liable to be attacked.
She prepared by getting a restraining order and a large knife.
I wish she had been prepared with a gun.

Really doesn't everyone know a story or two like this?
How can a count of those living who would not be ever be made?

Sorry, guns and seatbelts are not the same thing. They are nothing alike.

Of course they're not the same "thing".  Just as an apple & tuna sandwich aren't the same thing.  Its how they're used.....in the latter case, consumption.  In the prior case, in protecting oneself

[Xavier_Onassis]

you could use the apple as a weapon as well. A much better one than a tuna fish sandwich.

[sirs]

Sure, YOU could, although that's not what they're used for, which is the point of this.  You could also use your car though, but I'd suggest keeping your seat belt on, so the only person that is killed is whatever someone(s) you hit with your car. 

Oh, and FYI, a seat belt and tuna fish sandwich aren't the same thing either

[Xavier_Onassis]

You really like to say really stupid things and defend them forever.  What a turd!

[sirs]

More of that projection I see....kinda like you arguing over and over that a seatbelt isn't a gun, when no one, at any time, claimed they were the same "thing"...or claiming an apple as a better weapon than a sandwich   

[Xavier_Onassis]

You are the imbecile that brought  up seatbelts,  apples and tuna sandwiches. 

All these are legal, and have nothing to do with lethal weapons.
 

[sirs]

You're the imbecile that keeps arguing a point that no one is making, that seatbelts and guns are the same "thing".  Firearms are not only legal, but you have no constitutional right to a car, seatbelt, or tuna fish sandwich, for that matter

[Xavier_Onassis]

You start these idiotic arguments and insist on making them increasingly idiotic.

Go eat a seatbelt and choke on an apple, dolt.

[sirs]

Naaa...I'll just stick with the FACT that you can use seatbelts and firearms to protect oneself and others.  You can keep harping on a claim no one is making.  Knock your socks off, in fact
