Two wrongs don't make a right (the (ir)rationality of revenge) - also gun control

I'm sorry, I can't follow your logic.You agree that America is a much more violent society than Canada or the UK. Yet you say it is ok for a much more violent society to have easy access to guns? Wouldn't it be better to take away guns from a violent society?

Still, wouldn't a violent society benefit from as few guns as possible? The less violent people have guns, the less deaths they will cause with them.Also, do you think every country in the world also needs to have nuclear weapons? This levels the playing field, afterall?

At the cost of seriously injuring or killing the violent ones? Or both getting shot? Coupled witht he fact of known high violence, as you agreed to, you can. Violent people, for outing their violence. Or "non-violent" people, for shooting the violent ones, who also have them. So? In a fit of rage, do you care about that when you grab your gun? What if Chroustjev (or Kennedy) had gone insane and launched the weapons? Would it still have been a good idea then? Yet continue to endanger it.... For killing other countires, or killing hte country that wants to kill you. The effects will be equally horrible though. No, not in a million years. I'd fight the enemy coutry, but never would I want such a horrible wepon to be used ever again, not even as "deterrent".

You see injuring or killing a human being as a benefit? Wow...just...wow.... Again, you think shooting a human being is a GOOD thing? Nuclear weapons, not guns. And they're still threatening every life on this planet. Heh, same can be said to you. What if "if I don;t have a gun I can't defend myself" doesn't really matter? So? They still have the weapons. And so continue to be a threat to human life. Really? So there are almost no burglaries in the united states concerning people who own guns? I don't believe you. Ifs don't matter, remember. You don't know they would have invaded, and even if they had, nuclear weapons are far too terrible a weapon. I don't like war either, but at least conventional weapons don't wipe out entire countries. No, probably a baseball bat. Yep. Guns get people killed.

I do care about their victims. Unlike you, I value human life. I didn't say they shouldn't be punished, I said I think hurting or killing another human being is wrong. By the way, you mentioned Hitler, you lose. Thank you Godwin. I do, you obviously don't. Despicable. Sure...Rather have something that can kill the whole planet 6 times over, as long as you feel safe, right? You're the one claiming what ifs don't matter, not me. Except of course for the fact it doesn't. People who own guns have the same bad stuff happen to them as people who don't. Only less people get hurt when there are no guns around. So, you're not even sure that's because of guns, yet you claim it is? By the way, what's the rate of people being killed with guns in the US and the UK? Correlation...? So, the fact that the US has invasion plans for Northern Korea, Iran, and a whole bunch of other countries (as any country who is serious about their defence should have) means they will actually go there and invade? Ok. So you don't care about human life. Good to know.

I consider a device that will destroy the entire planet and everything on it as the most effective and less risky. Should I be allowed to get that device and use it as I see fit to protect myself and my loved ones?

I hunt for the truth

Because we only got one life, and taking that away is not smething I think other people should do. What ifs don't matter, remember. Renders the rest of your little rant moot. Ooh...sarcasm.... No. I don't believe in hell, or heaven. Nor do I think anyone deserves eternal torment, whatever they've done.

Their rights and liberties interfere with my rights and liberties. Now what?Also, you state in your response to Rahvin: So, my rights to protect my loved ones with that device are paramount.Edited by Huntard, : No reason given.

I hunt for the truth

Their rights and liberties say I can't use my rights and liberties to defend my family as I see fit. A liberty you called paramount. But they are, by not allowing me to use the device. Your post is two posts above mine, anyone can read the entire thing there.

So, when I post a "what if" question your response is: Yet when YOU ask one, they're suddenly a: I'm not following this logic.
