Now what Rocket is trying to say if anyone can get his posts is that, Getting rid of guns will do nothing and wont effect us, Other than making most people that are entertained by guns (Most people are entertained more than violent) mad and angry, "We don't need to kill people" Bullshit. We fight wars for power, With guns, There isn't much of any other way. Either way, We will find a way to kill people.

> We fight wars for power, With guns, There isn't much of any other way.

This is called a "contradiction"
Presenting opposite arguments.

> Other than making most people that are entertained by guns (Most people are entertained more than violent) mad and angry
This is called "third party fallacy"
Attempting to appeal to some mythical third party without use of citations

> Getting rid of guns will do nothing and wont effect us
This is just a statement without anything to back it up

> "We don't need to kill people" Bullshit.
Suddenly calling bullshit for no particular reason? You need guns so you can fight wars? Are you American by chance?

> Now what Rocket is trying to say
Did you just construct a new fallacy? "Appeal to the "fallacy fallacy" fallacy"?? Because an argument is poorly argument it is right?

Needless to say, your post is completely illogical and makes 0 sense.

And if you'd take a look at our armed forces almost all of our weapons are or are based off of some form of firearm. So a ban on guns would almost completely disarm us, aside from some missiles and knifes. And you come in here and do the exact same thing as you're accusing TheFelepeno of doing.

Are you serious? No one is saying to ban guns in military. Since when did military need carry permits to carry guns? They don't, they are military.

Not that it makes a difference, you are American so the only thing your military does is invade people and kill them. How would it be bad for USA not to be able to randomly destroy other countries?

You shouldn't intentionally use logical fallacies in ANY discussion.

Nope, you have not made a single citation on your ridiculous assertions.

OK JUST TO BE SURE: You advocate guns because you want muggers to be better armed?

I don't need to post "real information" to prove that banning guns would "put us back to the dark ages"
I never said that either.

Wrong again! You did in fact say that!

If you make a claim, back it up in facts, those are the rules of this board. If you don't like it, go play in offtopic where you can claim whatever you want without facts.

You shouldn't be proud of failing to communicate.

Nope, you have made no such citations about time travel due to gun ban, nor about people being more likely to fight back against a knife.

Nope, Felepeno posted completely offtopic without any content. I posted on topic with a response to his offtopic comment. Just be grateful that I even dignified him with a response.

I never did connect that to the dark ages.

No, that LITTERALLY is your whole argument. And after you made that argument, you said we would be sent to the dark ages if we banned guns.

Nope, they are consecutive sentences.




The two arguments you are making are;
1. The US military needs guns so they can go invade countries and slaughter people
2. Muggers need guns or people might fight back

At this point I MUST ask you; are you trolling?

Do you really take what I'm saying as time travel? Really? Really?!?! The closest we have to time travel is to stay traveling at extremely high speeds, if I meant time travel I WOULD SAY TIME TRAVEL! And I've been working under the impression that when you say gun ban you MEAN TOTAL GUN BAN, not "oh let civilians use primitive weapons, but lets give our militaries hige-end long range weapons.". And the be grateful you dignified him with a response comment just makes yo ulook like a narcissistic, egotistical, fool.
If it weren't illegal to shoot some people, the world would be a lot emptier.

Really, that is the part of my post you decide to reply to?

Maybe if you read the OP you would know that no one is talking about a total gun ban.

Civilians have no need to employ weaponry of any kind. I do not advocate civilians arming themselves with swords or whatever other primitive weapons you are referring to.

USA has some deep deep problems, these need to be addressed, not covered over by allowing civilians to have guns, and then brushing aside all homicides as "oh they are just stupid people".

Aw, trying to use big words to make big flames, cute
Are you shitting me Immortal, Did you actually read any of my post, That is ridiculous! You want some citations?

From (http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp)

* A 2005 nationwide Gallup poll of 1,012 adults found the following levels of firearm ownership:

Category
Percentage Owning
a Firearm
Households 42% Individuals 30% Male 47% Female 13% White 33% Nonwhite 18% Republican 41% Independent 27% Democrat 23%
[9]
Now knowing immortal this isn't enough because according to his "great wisdown" he will say "this has no use in the word *stubborn face* errrrrggghhhhh"


He you go your hi-nest

* In the same poll, gun owners stated they own firearms for the following reasons:




Protection Against Crime 67% Target Shooting 66% Hunting 41%
-----
Sorry about the hard to read statistics, They used to be charts.
-----
Now out of those reasons for using those guns, I don't see 1 person in that saying that they are homicidal, Now given that's a poll alright. But looking at it from a different point, 107% said that the gun is for TARGETSHOOTING and HUNTING, Which in my eyes i essentially see as ENTERTAINMENT the other 67%, Is Protection! BOY I WONDER WHAT ELSE WOULD WE USE!

lol of course not, who the hell answers a poll with "I own a gun because I plan to kill people"
What kind of criminal even answers this kind of poll?

I'll leave it to Hyde to tell you the exact logical fallacies you are committing.
In statistics it is called the "response bias" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_bias
and "voluntary response bias" - http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/mks/s...dsampling.html

Together these make up; "only certain types of people will answer a survey" and "people will try and respond appropriately"
So;
A) Criminals and people who want to hide that they own a gun, won't answer this survey or will lie about ownership.
B) People who own guns with the reason of committing crimes, won't answer truthfully.



> 107% said that the gun is for TARGETSHOOTING and HUNTING
This is not how statistical analysis works.

The Columbine Shootings, the Virginia Tech massacre, and the Aurora shooting all happened in Gun-free Zones. What the hell do you think a sign is going to do to keep someone from bringing a gun? All it does is keep the honest, law-abiding people from carrying their choice of protection. Vermont, which has the least restrictive gun laws in the nation, also has one of the lowest violent crime rates in the nation. To sum up the argument, are words on paper going to stop people from killing others? Just to mention, I am a recreational shooter, and I see no problems with having a gun in your car or pocket. A gun is only as dangerous as the person holding it.

Agreed outlawing them does nothing but makes them just a little bit more harder to find
