Even though "if we could save just one life," ... I hear ya.  Sorry Detroit.  No more cars.

So banning all sales of fast foods and sodas is not going to be a popular idea?

In N Out would have to resort to selling the meth without the shakes.

we should all go back to horses.

I think obesity related deaths need to end immediately!

I was at an Angels game a few years ago, the lady in front of me whipped out a sealed pack of mini brownie cups from Costco, opened it up, dumped an entire Ruby's shake on it, and went to town eating the whole thing.  I damn near threw up.  

 

In the US people can own a redonkulous gun meant for war, have abortions, and I can't legally sports bet or play poker online.  WTF!

I gave up fast food and soda 6 months ago. I lost 25 lbs really quick. It was tough at first but it's nothing now. I can finally enjoy the hot chicks in Carl's Jr commercials instead of the greasy burgers.

You guys are stupid, being fat is where it's at. Isn't like 60% of the country overweight? Majority rules. I say we ban Whole Foods and stairs.

If we banned all sales of fast foods our economy would collapse.

[Jason]

My "middle class" status already prevents me from shopping Whole Foods.

Here is the thing.  People can decide not to eat fatty food and be healthy.  They can't decide not to get shot by a wacko with a gun.

 

And the whole "guns deter crime" is one of the dumbest arguments I have heard.  Look at the shootings on military bases.  If they can't defend themselves on a heavily armed military base, then arming school teachers and housewives certainly isn't going to stop it.

Nate have you gone hunting since you moved to Wisconsin? I heard they have some decent deer over there.

[tdawg87]

I see your point nate, but it isn't that it would necessarily prevent the incident from happening altogether, but end it before it gets worse.

People don't decide to get killed by a loser DUI driver either. 

 

Here is the thing for me.  There are plenty of things we could do to be safer.  I just don't think the freedoms we would give up are worth it.  Being in a free society has its risks.

Trying to prevent shootings by eliminating guns is like trying to prevent malaria by eliminating mosquitoes.

I'm all for that.  **** mosquitoes.

Which brings me to my next point: Nets down the base lines at ballgames.

Would love to watch you tell the parents of the 22 kindergartners that were killed by a mentally ill man that was allowed access to an assault rifle that these are just the risks they endure for a free society.

 

No right is more important than the one to live.

I would gladly ban alcohol if it meant guns were banned.

[Stradling]

I say we ban religion, race, drugs, guns and pogs. Just don't ban beer, Arte would then just lower the price of churros. Since we eliminated race that ws not racist.

We could eliminate cell phones so nobody was killed because of texting and driving.  We could just imprison everyone with mental disease to keep the rest of us safe.  Lots of things we could do.

Everyone with AIDS should be shot.
