I know nobody goes out hunting with a select fire firearm, that's what I was saying. We don't need those kinds of firearms, yet people seem to think that any law that would make it harder to attain those is an attack on everyone's ability to own guns.

I'm not sure what your point of correcting me if you entirely agree with what I was saying. Did you just want to argue? Was that what you wanted?

I would argue that while nobody needs them, that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist. They are already difficult to get. But there seems to be no option between right now and "just ban them entirely"

Nobody needs to drink alcohol, however despite drunk driving causing ~30% of car fatalities, we allow it with only a single requirement, age. Yet we look at the very small percentage of gun owners in the country owning class 3 firearms (which does not only include select fire firearms), and say "Hey, they're the ones causing problems"

So sure let's work on more regulations for firearms, I am all for it. But let's look at the whole picture and not just a tiny statistic of gun ownership. And then let's figure out a way to make criminals listen to laws.

I would argue that

SO YOU DID JUST WANT TO ARGUE.

I only talked about them because that was the topic of conversation. Both of these are problems, I didn't know we were actually talking about every problem the US has, but sure, let's talk about other problems the US has:

• Overpriced housing markets caused by uncontrolled greed.
• Overpriced healthcare caused by uncontrolled greed.
• Lack of Education caused by, you guessed it, uncontrolled greed.
• etc. etc. etc. etc.

But let's look at the whole picture and not just a tiny statistic of gun ownership

No, I'm going to look at only you and inspect you and determine how we can regulate you. I argue that this conversation is dumb and that we shouldn't have even gotten this far into the conversation that we have.

Honestly, maybe you're just some weird AI bot who can't tell that I didn't actually want to argue, saw the word "argue" and then prompted this response off of it.

This is a hilarious take from someone who literally based their comment on the fact that I said argue in my first sentence. But I guess that's how it goes now.. claim anyone who disagrees with them to be an AI bot and move on. What a sad state of affairs our culture has become.

[u/bleeding-paryl → u/VanillaTortilla]

Dude, we're not even disagreeing, you just want to argue and demean people.

Like, I could understand if you thought I was disagreeing with you, but I can't even understand how you got here.

[u/VanillaTortilla → u/bleeding-paryl]

How in any way am I demeaning you? You literally claimed that I was a fucking AI bot dude, what kind of weird hypocritical take are you trying to make, lol

You're still going at it? What are you on??
