the dumbist thing i've read in quite a while.
I decided to try and talk some sense into a anti-gun troll thread on another board and I see this gem:
I dunno i'm playing devils advocate here. I fear gun carriers more than fiveblackguys looking for money.
Somebody slaps you around like a bitch and you go for your gun and blast Derp and his girlfriend in a fit of blinding rage. only you don't stop there you just say fuck it i've taken it this far and start shooting up the entire place. Until some paul walker look alike super cop kills you.
it could happen. Since we're playing hypothetical here.

Re: the dumbist thing i've read in quite a while.
As dumb as the guy is, that is a concern that is prevalent among the populace. Perhaps this is a teachable moment?
How do you convince people that fear of something bad happening is not justification for limiting an individuals liberty?
A person could have a gun and 'shoot up the place' but they probably will not do so, and either way, we should not limit their liberty to have a gun. Even if they shoot up the place, we must rely on the justice system to apply the appropriate consequences.
I'll bet I have a lot of people tracking with me here so far...
But now, that all goes down hill...
How about we let people do drugs? Or be gay? Or gamble their cash away?
Hmm... The same principal applies. The act may be distasteful, but until someone violates the rights of someone else, should we intervene?
Nope. Rights are rights. You do whatever you want to do so long as it does not interfere with my ability to do whatever I want to do. If you want to bet your last two crack rocks on black at the roulette wheel in the hope that the hooker in your lap will go home with you, so be it. If you are not 'shooting up the place' so be it. I may find your activities tragically distasteful, but it is not my place to tell you can't participate, and it is especially not my place to try to legislate against your ability do do so.
Darwin does just fine without the assistance of the Nanny State.
