Re: RIP Christina Grimmie

I agree, but that's because I don't tend to like the type of people who are gun owners. It seems like, to a man, they are all socially backwards rednecks with inferiority complexes and rage issues. Usually they aren't too enlightened on other issues either.

In this case, however, I don't think it would have made a difference. He wanted to kill this woman and he got up close to do it. If all he had was a knife she'd be just as dead. Murdering assholes are going to be murdering assholes.

I am with you, in that I'm anti-gun, but in this case I don't know if it would have helped.

Like, making it illegal to own a gun probably wouldn't have dissuaded someone who was planning a murder, and making it harder for him to get one wouldn't have made it harder for him to commit this murder.

Her brother tackled the killer after he shot her. If he'd had a knife, a struggle probably would have broken out as he came at her, and maybe people would still have gotten hurt but it would have been a different situation.

He did have a knife tho, he had two guns and a hunting knife.

Well then he chose what he must have felt was the more effective weapon.

I mean, obviously if the intent to harm exists something bad will happen, but we can't pretend all scenarios are equal here.

Re: RIP Christina Grimmie

Exactly.

Speaking in a general sense here, at least knives (and cars, since people bring those up in the "other things can be just as deadly" argument) also have non-violent purposes for them. There's reasons for them to exist that don't involve stabbing people, or running them over.

The only use a gun has is to injure or kill, be it an animal or a human. That's it. Therefore, they are (or should be, at least) treated and viewed differently in the "deadly weapons" list compared to knives or cars or bats or whatever.

"to a man"

I am a woman with a concealed-carry permit. Your "argument," such as it is, is invalid.

Re: RIP Christina Grimmie

[(Anonymous)]

that doesn't render their argument invalid at all

gun owners sure am smart!!!

Re: RIP Christina Grimmie

"to a man" implies that all gun owners are men. Which is manifestly not true.
