Obviously it would have been too much of an effort to read it. Someone put this thread out of its misery already.

Such a shame to go to all that trouble, only for you to realise that you quoted the wrong statistic - I'm sure more children do die as a result of ingesting poison - I was referring to your bogus claim that "The media does not mention, however, the 2.5 million successful defended crimes each...

Any source for that statistic, or is it just propaganda, again? I really question how one actually compiles data like that - gun deaths are easy to quantify, death certificates, the works - how does one gather data on something like "successful defended crimes each year with the use of handguns"...

Thing is, that there is a pretty specific situation. If a small infantry division were bearing down on my house, I'd like to have a gun too, a big one with shiny chrome. But that doesn't happen all too often, nor does someone breaking into your house who you must have a gun in order to stop. I...

Hah, that'd be brilliant, they'd write books about us, claim they were the only life in the universe, have wars over the exact nature of humanity and say that they go to Earth after they die :)

Misto. Of course, we don't have to dwell on the past and let it **** up what we're trying to do now. But History is important, and massively so. Those who do not learn from the their mistakes are doomed to repeat them. But if all the mistakes have been airbrushed out by a white-out-happy...

The "ghosts exists" argument is completely circular. If, as you say, you believe in these "apparitions/poltergeists/demons/lost souls/spirits/ghosts" you have effectively convinced yourself of their existence. Thus upon hearing a loud noise, feeling cold suddenly, having something fall off a...

Of course it is. It is in every country's interest to paint as pretty picture of itself as possible, so that its children grow up to be good little patriots believing their country to be the bestest in the whole wide world. It isn't limited to any paticular country either: America: Glosses over...

Anyone who is likely to be influenced by media that depict violence ("depict" Commonly substituted for "glorify" by censorship advocates) already has deep-seaten emotional or psychological problems that could be set off by any number of things. People like to blame anything to avoid confronting...

I think it might be a good idea to discuss how it relates to the constitution, just to <a href="http://smashboards.com/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=000007" target="_blank">avoid treading over old ground.</a>

Because yours are more difficult :) As for the ammo question, which I won't quote because it's likely to be much longer than the actual reply. Yes, the ammo used drastically changes the role of a weapon. But not enough. Hollow points still kill, and have a nasty habit of messing people up...
