"You are a fucking idiot. Taking away the basic human rights of an entire nation based on irrational and factually unsupported fears is bullshit. Privately owned firearms lower crime rates & save victim's lives, while making society safer for dumb fucks like you."
First of all, the 2nd amendment is not a "basic human right", it is a constitutional right, a government sanctioned right, which is very different. While it is true that societies with gun ownership laws are generally safer than ones where it is illegal to own a gun, that doesn't mean that "lol gun rightz absolut" is the very best way to keep society safe. Gun control laws could make society safe, or more dangerous. Just because one end of the graph is less safe than the other doesn't mean that safeness doesn't peak somewhere in between.
And if someone cites that gunowners source one more time I am going to shoot somebody.

"What is wrong with banning ice cream? What is wrong with licensing baseball bats?"
Well, ice cream is not even a hint like guns, and a baseball bats sole, or even primary purpose isn't to harm other living things, nor can it kill many people very quickly and easily, nor does it have a long range, nor is it very difficult to defend against. So neither of those analogies make much sense.
"Ok, aside from the fact that you simply shouldn't have to apply for a fucking license from some government bureaucrat to live your life or own something as basic as the means to defend yourself, there is also that little fact of how fucked up the gun licensing systems are in other countries."
lol loaded words. Look, I have nothing against law-abiding gun owners, I plan to be one, but you have to face the fact that there are many who use guns to break the law. Gun licensing can help make sure that it is only the first group that receives the guns.
