More guns equals less violence.

More nukes equal less nuclear war. The only time nukes have been used in war. Nobody had nukes but the country that dropped them. Now that SuperPowers all have nukes and nuclear war would kill all life on earth nobody is dropping nukes anymore. In that same fashion you can not name one single mass shooting at a gun show. #commonsense

ahhh classic American stupidity at its finest; truly it amazes me how people with your intellect remember to breath.

"ahhh classic American stupidity at its finest"

Really? Because the facts don't agree:

"Texans with gun permits are less likely to commit murder...than Canadians." (And Brits, too)

Change your search by a single word. Look for shootings at a gun show and the results pour in. All accidental.. The precense of guns at these events made them safe? As a result of these numbers the majority of guns are display only and live weapons (ammunition) are not allowed. Maybe this changes the statement to nobody cares about attacking a gun show. What possible motive is there?

You are lying or have not been to a gun show I assure you live ammo is allowed and everyone is armed. As far as accidents, Planes crash but people still fly....

In Texas it was that way the one I went to. So admittedly limited experience in that aspect. Still, accidental shootings at gun shows don't seem uncommon. And again... What makes a gun show a target? I can make the argument there's never been a mass shooting at a Magic: The Gathering event. Using the same logic I can say if everyone had a deck built it addresses the problem.

I've definitely never been shot while playing my Red/Blue deck. (I've also never won a game playing that deck...)

CHUT ME BABY I WANT THIS

But you can name plenty of shootouts where all the participants were armed.

Umm... Ok, then the shooutout at the OK Corral.

Or, literally any gang fight you hear about on the news. People are not cowards.

Lol you do realize there were unarmed people there right. It was a bunch of rival biker gangs and police all shooting. These are not bystanders with guns that is one side vs other sides in gang warfare. Had there been armed pedestrians there, More of them than the biker thugs. They probably wouldn't have started shooting. And if they did they are the reason for more guns not less. So when those idiots start shooting we can shoot back. You think those bikers could legally own guns they are 100% felons. You say "people are not cowards " but you are afraid of anybody being allowed to own a gun. Those bikers and any violent gang member has deep motivation to do their crimes. Most people too busy enjoying life for that bullshit.

You're arguing with someone else. I never said we should ban guns, I'm only pointing out that the original point is demonstrated to be incorrect. Plenty of people shoot each other when they all have guns. Bystanders with guns don't matter to someone who already knows bullets will be flying back at him and starts shooting anyway.

Arming peaceful people does not turn violent people peaceful.

You think those bikers could legally own guns they are 100% felons.

So you're supporting that there should be gun laws, and felons shouldn't be allowed to own them.

Once you start talking about sane things like having background checks... thats when the crazies come out to play. Like this post.

No you can't

As so called "tactical" and "clean" nukes continue to be developed I expect to see them used in combat. Its already on the horizon.

there is a reason none of the superpowers are bombing each-other even conventionally and its nukes

I agree. It will play out on some poor third party's back yard. Russia came out and said they weren't ruling out tactical nukes in Syria... The major powers would likely never directly nuke each other. Its better for business to play through your proxies.

Not with any other nuclear nation they wont be lol

Please excuse my bumper sticker logic, but if The Dood may add his two satoshi, "An armed society, is a calm society." That is all, carry on :P

imagine a world where no one is defenseless

If the UK were populated by nothing but Texans with concealed handgun permits, it's per capita murder rate would be about two thirds lower:
