The obsession with guns is just retarded because if you have a basic knowledge of chemistry and access to a simple hardware store you can cause so much more damage if you really wanted to. The military guys I've talked to about this instantly knew what I was talking about without me needing to fed post and I've chatted to them RL about it. I obviously won't go into details here but it just shows you how out of touch boomers and generation x'ers are when it comes to autists who actually know how to fight. If people decide to sperg out in earnest a lot of them won't even need to use guns to do the job.
Gun control is stupid, but your point isn't a good argument against it. Saying "this thing is worse, therefore guns should be legal" doesn't work on anyone who doesn't agree with you. The response is "you're right, let's regulate all of those things too"
Gun rights center around defending yourself against the government and anyone else who would attack you. A bomb isn't a good way to stop that rapist or mugger and bombs can't patrol your neighborhood to secure the homestead.
The response is "you're right, let's regulate all of those things too"
you're missing the point. "regulate all those things too" is not viable because those are all household items. what are you going to do, ban diesel, fertilizer, and the entire cleaning supplies aisle at the grocery store?
Yeah, that's the point, it's all a placebo until the shit hits the fan and then the only people who will be alive to realise it are the ones who knew it was bullshit in the first place.
Right, and my redneck high school drop out cousin could build a shotgun with 20 bucks and a trip to the hardware store. Arms are tools and each tool has a specific use. There is a big difference between "I need to take out something with minimal surrounding damage" and "I need something to go boom". I do not understand your argument.

You do not know what you are talking about.
Edit to add, because this is so stupid:
The obsession with guns is just retarded
Yep, I better carry around fucking explosives so when someone attacks me in my house or on the street I'll just become Bomberman (the character from the game Bomberman, feds.)

You try too hard.
No I'm not fed posting or trying to be a tough guy, just stating the reality of how stupid gun control really is when you think about it lol.

You don't even need explosives. Just get a car. Same shit as all the times people say "but airport security works!"
Okay, so what about when someone eventually decides to try to set off a bomb in the security line...

I think he's arguing the opposite, that it's silly to ban guns because if someone wants to kill people they'll find a way, but he worded it terribly.
That makes more sense.
