It's not a bunch of crap at all. It's merely an exaggeration to prove a point.

I forget who made the point, but it's really a matter of "Do you mind trusting your fellow man with your life?"

I personally don't. Call me a cynic, but I don't like playing the parlay, a non-zero percentage, that random dude #1 decides to just go fuckin apeshit today and shoot me. If our technology was evolved to a point where we could legally enforce intelligence and decency as requirements for handgun registration, then I'd feel a lot more comfortable with legalized guns.

Also, not to open up a whole other can of worms, but why do we even need handguns to begin with???? And where in the Second Amendment does it say we have the right to conceal arms? How many militias have you heard of that get into skirmish warfare with pistols like its Lethal Weapon fuckin two?

IMO in the most lax case scenario handguns and submachineguns at least should be outright banned, as they have NO GOOD REASON TO EXIST, other than to make it even more easy and fluid to pull it out and grease some unlucky motherfucker in a crime of passion.
Great stuff Renton
