Booze for thought


Recommended Posts

Alcohol thins the blood and helps it circulate better. In doing so it also promotes white blood cell growth.

 

The liver is the only real danger, but with all the preservatives we consume (dead bodies can be cut open and their organs look fresh in old people, not normal at all) it doesn't deteriorate and people that know they drink too much take milk thistle which promotes liver health.

Booze kills the people that drink it.

 

Guns kill innocent people at a FAR higher rate than alcohol kills other people.

 

Nice try though.

Are you sure about that? Those scary, black semi-automatic rifles that you want banned killed 323 people in 2011.

367 in 2010. 351 in 2009.

That way only law breakers can keep them. Makes sense.

 

Oh and good luck obtaining all 300 million of them.

 

Change has to start somewhere.  If you prevent 10 deaths in the first year it is successful.  Nobody is stupid enough to think that you can get 300 million, 100 million or even 50 million at first.  Using "it's too hard" as an excuse is a recipe for failure.

It usually ends well when only the government is allowed to have guns.

There are countless examples where it has ended badly despite the government not being the only ones allowed to have guns. And there are many cases now where governments are essentially the only ones allowed to have guns and it hasn't ended. How would something end nicely in this situation. If it's nice it wouldn't have ended.

But the problem is that only the law abiding citizens will give up their guns. There is no way the criminals will ever hand them in.

Let people ingest what they want; alcohol, blow, cigs. They're going to do it anyway. Make them ingest it away from the public and stop with the jailing. 

 

Just wanted to turbo boost the thread.

Yes. Prohibition doesn't work, whether it's alcohol, drugs or guns.

The vast majority or the owners of 300 million guns adhere to the Non-Aggression Principle even if they've never heard about it. They use their weapons for a purely defensive use. If even 0.0001 of those guns were used aggressively then those fbi.gov crime stats would be far higher.

The response to the vast majority who never use their guns aggressively is to... send men with guns to aggressively take them away?

 

Hillary Clinton recently said about gun owners  "We cannot let a minority of people – and it’s, that’s what it is, it is a minority of people – hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people,”

Shit, now I can't even "hold a viewpoint" without some authoritarian gash trying to take that away. I'm now considered a thought-crime terrorist.

Totally agree.  We'll get rid of that booze, we just need to stick with it! 

 

If we can save just one life!!!
