IMO, this is just as insane as those parents who killed their young son for playing with dolls.

Everybody owns a gun? It must be another USA you're talking about, not the one I live in. In my case I do not own a gun, I own lots of them.
If everyone owned a gun and shot first, asked questions later, there would be many people left.

Do I know how to use a gun? Yes. Can I afford guns? No. I trained in shooting & firearm safety as a boy scout and that's why I'm well aware no human being is born with the right to hoard the capability to kill others. Has it never prevailed upon you that while you were stockpiling weapons you could have been doing helpful things for people who needed a leg up in this world? If you view civility as a momentary truce during the armed standoff that is existence, have fun getting shot I guess. I'll be over here drinking coffee and studying so I can help build some transportation to deal with the overcrowding on this planet.

I assume this scenario discounts everyone who would be shot?

Actually they ARE born with that right. Show me where it says otherwise.
That aside, who said anything about hoarding? Guns are my obsession so I tend to pick one up when I have disposable cash.

More about stockpiling (hoarding) and on top of that, now I'm turning my back on society............according to you.

Now you have me getting shot, too.

Yeah, with the occasional break from solving the world's transportation crisis by trolling the internet like what you were doing in this thread.

Before it gets moved to PPR, it is impossible to have a rational debate about this issue in WP because just the very act of posting a story like this is looked upon as an assault on the 2nd Amendment. Any attempt to further the debate will result in someone being accused of personal attacks. Which is exactly why this problem exists, is because for far too many gun owners in the US the very act of looking sideways at someone can be viewed by 2nd Amendment extremists is a threat worthy of being shot, and in a Republican led state that act of murder will be considered justified.
Let's see, you personally:
Want to chop off the fingers of gun owners who misuse them
Personally attack gun right supporters and mischaracterize everything they say, then complain when you're moderated for it
Repeatedly post misinformed, sensationalistic articles, such as the "instant death bullet" piece, that are so full of lies that removing the misinformation would only leave words like 'a' 'and' or 'the'
Continuously make ridiculous, hyperbolic statements like the one in bold
But it's the gun people that are the problem?
Further the debate? Try learning something about what you're talking about and telling the truth, that would be a good start.
