Gun control

This little piece of garbagastan was on my Facebook wall this morning.

Basically its an emotional argument that presents anecdotal evidence from a clearly biased point of view. This man knows nothing about how firearms work. Superficial cosmetic features and detachable magazines do not make one rifle more dangerous than the another.

He also fails to address the root cause of the problem, people. If someone found a magic lamp and wished away every gun on the planet and wiped away the knowledge to make guns, people would still hurt each other. Its not the tool that hurts people. Its the hand that holds the tool.
