    I have a quote in one of my comments some specifics. You don't need to specifics to understand that we would be better off with guns than without them. Guerrilla warfare has been proven effective countless times.
    I don't have your specifics on how you will fight the armed forces of the US.

    Walk me through one of your guerrilla attacks.

    I'm scared that psychos can get guns like AR-15s so easily tbh.
    You're not scared of a psycho putting bombs on people's doorstep?

    Since it's actually happening in Austin, sure -- but tell me how easy it is to produce and use the bombs that are being used here and compare that to buying an AR-15 and shooting up a school.

    I'll wait for your full comparison.

    I'm all for comprehensive background checks for firearms...check arrest history, psychological testing, medication history, mandatory gun classes, etc. Would also support no semi-auto rifles for anyone younger than 21.

    Just don't think an AR ban solves anything.

    What happened to your bomb comparison?

    Just don't feel like searching "how to build a bomb" right now since I live in the Austin area.

    From what little I know, this guy is pretty good at it. Suffice it to say it's more difficult than buying and using a gun.

    Went ahead and did it... apparently it's rather easy:

    Pressure cooker devices are among a variety of homemade explosives that are “very, very easy” for people to make, Paul Worsey, an explosives expert from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, said.

    ...

    An explosive pressure cooker device usually involves little more than powder from fireworks and some nails, Worsey said. Because such items are readily available in stores, it is difficult for authorities to track homemade explosives.

    “These are designed to be very, very simple,” Worsey said. “You don’t have to have a degree or any formal training. That’s why these things—some will go off and kill people and some won’t. The point of the thing is to terrorize people. The point is to make sure anybody can make these things.”

    Yes...I know that's not what is being used in Austin. But bombs, apparently, aren't that difficult.

    I don't know if the Austin bombs are pressure cooker devices, and they have a pretty sophisticated trigger on them to boot. Regardless, that looks a lot more difficult than buying gun and shooting it.

    Not sure about that...maybe $50 in total? Pressure cooker $20, nails and ballbearings $15, fertilizer and fireworks $15?

    Versus get background check, wait, and then spend $700 for an AR.

    Now you're fixated on the AR.

    And you could cite background checks if they were necessary for every gun purchase.

    Obviously this so called "expert" never spoke to pgardn else he'd know you need a doctorate in chemistry to even attempt it.

    He's going to send you on information gathering escapades but he's not interested in anything you have to say about it. He's just seeing how long he can keep you on the hook, hoping for an all nighter.

    Don't forget nails and fertilizer. But wait, those items are good for our society so we accept deaths from them.

    If there was a solid case to be made regarding gun control, you'd not need these emotional response moments to make it. The topic disappears until there's a mass shooting.

    Seeing how there's one every month now, it's gotten hard to find sufficient down time to have an unemotional discussion about it.

    Well, if you feel that strongly about the danger, then you should arm yourself.

    Yeah, between the "Flynn is in deep " thread that has like what, 300 pages? You can certainly tell that gun control is on everyone's mind.

    That's just the chumpettes' circle jerk thread, tbh.

    My feelings have nothing to do with a personal fear of risk for myself.

    We're not all one-topic posters. The Flynn thread is a lot of speculative bull but it's being driven by three or four people for the most part, and it's kept momentum thanks to a fair amount of new ongoing news.

    Any gun discussion after a mass shooting is going to go exactly the same way every time. You monkeys have been trained well to fixate on specific hypothetical talking points.
