I’m showing the absurdity of removing essential freedoms to save a statistically insignificant amount of lives. You’d be better off banning cars and forcing people to ride bicycles and trains. More lives would be saved, if that’s truly your goal.

I actually feel like we need more guns, more shootings, and more wars.

Statistically there are ~360k people being born each day worldwide and ~151k deaths each day.

We need to have that birth to death ratio closer so we don’t overpopulate the planet.

Irony kicks in when the Right tries citing a man made storybook and thinking the govt needs to follow an invisible man in the sky.

I hate all religions.
It’s just ironic how you like to always say something about the Scientific Method and you probably are a Christian.
Scientific Method throws out religion completely.

Australian gun laws just prevented another mass murder, somalian guy in melbourne tried to turn his car into a bomb and failed, stabbed one person in a busy street then got shot dead by police after trying to stab more people for quite a while.
If he had had ready access to semi automatic weapons the headline would have been "15 dead on bourke street".

The scientific method was created by religious men of science immediately after the protestant reformation. It wasnt a coincidence

so what's the number of innocent children, students, church- movie- and concert-goers you'd be willing to sacrifice before you start considering that something has to happen, that something has to significantly change? 100k? 500k? more?

btw, that moronic car analogy is fundamentally flawed. just because there are things that kill more people doesn't mean you should just dismiss a certain issue. maybe google 'relative privation'. also, cars aren't even in the same category, they are absolutely vital for our societies, unlike guns their primary function is NOT to inflict damage or kill, and car manufacturers as well as taxpayers spend billions each year to make traffic as safe as possible and prevent human losses. by your fallacious logic we might as well stop researching cancer cures because more people die from heart diseases...

it never ceases to amaze me that people still consider this a valid point...
