- justaman 8y agoGuns are not the problem. Crazy people are the problem. Same applies to drones

- megaman22 8y agoSaid by no one in any place other than an internet forum. It's not exactly as easy as picking up a can of pringles - even for hunting rifles, you have to wait at least an hour on average for them to run the federal background checks.

Also, the original comment was: >"Hey hun, when you finish shopping can you catch me a new gun in the gas station/walmart/bank?" Said no one ever, living in a country with decent gun controls and laws. To which your reply was perfectly apropriate.
- nkozyra 8y agoI'm not sure you read the parent comment as it was intended.
- mbrumlow 8y agoI have read your comment and the parrent 4 times in 4 different ways. Can we please get some clefication. 1) Parent is anti-gun and thinks US Gov is crazy because they would ban drones before banning guns when guns are actually killing people. And you are pro-gun and think it is actually crazy to to ban firearms. Thus you both disagree, and are now mortal enemies. 2) Parent is anti-gun and thinks US Gove is crazy because they would ban drones before banning guns when guns are actually killing people. And you are anti-gun and make your comment in a attempt of sarcastic humor. Thus you both agree, and can now be friends for ever. 3) Parent is pro-gun and thinks the US Gov is crazy because they would ban drones and consider banning guns because people kill people, not drones, or guns. And you are pro-gun and think its actually crazy to ban firearms.Thus you both disagree, and are now mortal enemies. 4) Parent is pro-gun and thinks the US Gov is crazy because they would ban drones and consider banning guns because people kill people, not drones, or guns. And you are pro-gun and make your comment in a attempt of sarcastic humor. Thus you both agree, and can now be friends for ever. In any case this thread is confusing af. Please fix.
- mbrumlow 8y agoThanks, now if the parent can please clarify, and if found to be #4 mods can swiftly remove the flame war sure to come of this.
- pjc50 8y agoThen we find out whether a gun fitted with propellors counts as a "drone" or a "firearm".
- mbrumlow 8y agoTechnically a drone does not require propellers. Drone "a remote-controlled pilotless aircraft or missile." So one might be able to argue that the gun is actually the remote control for a drone ... aka the bullet?
