https://newrepublic.com/article/125498/ ... s-yes-themBan guns. All guns. Get rid of guns in homes, and on the streets, and, as much as possible, on police. Not just because of San Bernardino, or whichever mass shooting may pop up next, but also not not because of those. Don’t sort the population into those who might do something evil or foolish or self-destructive with a gun and those who surely will not. As if this could be known—as if it could be assessed without massively violating civil liberties and stigmatizing the mentally ill. Ban guns! Not just gun violence. Not just certain guns. Not just already-technically-illegal guns. All of them.
I used to refer to my position on this issue as being in favor of gun control. Which is true, except that “gun control” at its most radical still tends to refer to bans on certain weapons and closing loopholes. The recent New York Times front-page editorial, as much as it infuriated some, was still too tentative. “Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership,” the paper argued, making the case for “reasonable regulation,” nothing more. Even the rare ban-guns arguments involve prefacing and hedging and disclaimers. “We shouldn’t ‘take them away’ from people who currently own them, necessarily,” writes Hollis Phelps in Salon. Oh, but we should.
I say this not to win some sort of ideological purity contest, but because banning guns urgently needs to become a rhetorical and conceptual possibility. The national conversation needs to shift from one extreme—an acceptance, ranging from complacent to enthusiastic, of an individual right to own guns—to another, which requires people who are not politicians to speak their minds. And this will only happen if the Americans who are quietly convinced that guns are terrible speak out.
Ya know, alcohol kills more than twice as many people a year as guns do, and directly causes countless instances of violence and abuse.senorgrand wrote:We should also ban racism. And everyone should have a pet unicorn.
I believe there was an increase in criminal activity after that one too. Funny how that works.PiratePenguin wrote:Ya know, alcohol kills more than twice as many people a year as guns do, and directly causes countless instances of violence and abuse.senorgrand wrote:We should also ban racism.

Nobody needs an alcoholic beverage. They are designed for only one thing: to rob you of your senses and make you a danger to yourself and others.
Maybe we should ban it.
Again.
It worked out so well for us the last time!

This is exactly the thing to bring up whenever some nitwit starts yammering on about the social utility of firearms ownership. Alcohol has pretty much zero societal benefit, especially when compared to what it costs society on a daily basis.PiratePenguin wrote:Ya know, alcohol kills more than twice as many people a year as guns do, and directly causes countless instances of violence and abuse.
