Correction: a problem with people with guns.
A government buy-back and destruction of the people side of this equation is both unfeasible and ghastly. But applying it to the worst “nasty cats” has already been proven a viable solution.
(I’m still wondering in that Samatha Bee video why she had a tactical sandwich in her bed-cubby when she should have had a tactical cheetah to deal with any other cheetahs that might have tried to claw her face in the night!).
Face facts my friend. You are just farting in your own hazmat suit.
Except… people do bad things all the time with and without guns. The common denominator is the person AKA “The Awful Cat”, not the means they use of being awful.
BTW, in many states, a gun buyback and destruction of said guns is illegal. Just, FYI.
But “all bad things” are not what’s on the table right now.
Just as amendments can change, so too can laws. The US has a horrendous problem right now. And every possible solution is being blocked by a group that seems to be bearing more and more signs of a cult.
I know you wuv your guns. Or maybe just the feelings they give you. Or the ideology connected with them.
This might be a good place to start the conversation.
@Weenis
You registered THAT . . . as an accusation?
(It was more of a poke, and I didn’t expect such a “liberal” over-reaction to it! You’re probably the best-armed person in the building. You can afford to have a thicker skin than this.)
Let’s remember you’ve said far worse to me over the years. I KNOW you’re sensitive about your guns. This has to be part of the discussion, because that over-sensitivity is complicating any kind of effective solution. Or discussion?
* You worship guns
* You worship the second amendment
* You love your guns
* You love your guns more than you love Christ
* You’re not being a follower of Christ by having guns
etc.
With all your responses boiling down to the small list above, we’re not even close to starting a conversation.
@Weenis
Observations vs accusations can be a very sticky wicket. In the order of “what one gives” vs “what one takes”.
That last one was QUITE the fantabulous over-stretch! You’ve clearly “taken” far far more, than I’ve “given”. I poked, and you freaked the hell out.
So let’s start the conversation with why you felt the need to? There’s clearly over-sensitivity when it comes to . . . something.
On the one side, people are becoming very over-sensitive to being mowed down in public totally at the behest of the 2nd Amendment. It is the ONLY thing blocking the similar kind of reasonable gun control that has had such drastic positive impact in other cultures.
The issue is, you have nothing to offer to the conversation. You have no ideas, observations, or ability to track an argument. This has been observed in almost every discussion we’ve ever had. Religion, politics, guns, you name it.
Even in discussion Christianity, you’re not a member of any church, or under the submission of elders. We couldn’t even easily discuss that.
@Weenis
Perhaps what you meant is that there is no conversation that will bring glory to your position. Which basically means “Conversation is closed unless I’m sure I can get to you to go where I want to go.”. (what you are calling “tracking an argument”.) Creative/entrepreneurial thinking rarely does — but it’s what always solves the problems that conservatism convention cannot. Always.
Period. (It is why companies in trouble from conventional thinking hire consultants)
Even in this reply, I’m not taking it “where you want to go” but rather, where it needs to go for Truth to be honored. (vs keeping it where no resolution or Truth can be found).
Actually we’ve already discussed your fact-less and false assertion that I’m not a member of a church and under the discipleship of elders.
And who’s calling who’s discussion process faulty??
You’re hunting and hunting for reasons to dismiss what I offer.
You’re in a position outside of Christ weenis, and I think you know it (hence your frequent reaches and stretches). That’s not saying someone cannot be a Christian. Only that the process is currently contrary to the teachings of that paradigm.
And there should be a conversation (with your elders perhaps?) about what you are willing to step outside of Christ for the sake of. (There is actually anti-precedent in the New Testament for wholesale weapon ownership. Yes, I’m aware of your pet verse where Jesus on one occasion allows the disciples a couple of swords. But that’s a far cry from each maintaining an arsenal )
Yes, I can see the wisdom in having an emergency tactical cheetah in every classroom just in case a nasty-cheetah gets in. So many of our children will so much safer once the legal doors are flung open to allowing cheetah-fights in their schools.
The only solution to a bad-cheetah running amok, is someone with a good-cheetah.
(Hey, we should see about getting these things installed in every movie theater, place of worship, government office . . . perhaps on every streetcorner! Imagine the safety and security and peace this would bestow upon the society!)

Unlike guns, cats are actually alive, have desires, can do things, and can be awful cats.
Guns are none of these things.
Your analogy points to it being a people problem, not a gun problem.

In “all bad things” yes.

@griz
With the accusations you make, we’re not even in the ballpark of having a real conversation.

@griz
Uhhhh no, what I said was-
That’s a generalization of your accusations.
Here are some-
* You worship guns
* You worship the second amendment
* You love your guns
* You love your guns more than you love Christ
* You’re not being a follower of Christ by having guns
etc.

There’s really no conversation to be had here.
