Just a second there, professor. I said your comparison is illogical. The regulation of weapons and the regulation of food is not comparable. Food cannot be used to kill another.

No one uses food to kill another person on purpose. Stupid comparison is stupid.

Here are the facts:
- Over 100,000 people die in the US every year from obesity.
- Spoons are completely unregulated. They will sell them to children... even fat children.
Its not like you can pick up a pack of kripsy kremes and kill a half a dozen school kids within the space of an hour though is it Butcher.
So you don't care about over 100,000 lives lost due to obesity.... many of them children.
How can you live with yourself?
Most gun owners in the US do not go down the street mowing down innocent people, or we wouldn't have many people left here.
Of counrse I care butcher, but theres a big difference.
Correct.
Huge difference.
Many more people killed by obesity.
But, it isn't about how many people die... it is about an emotional response to the fear of an inanimate object.
So you don't give a crap about how many people are dying from preventable causes unless the cause is guns?
More than 22,000 people have signed a petition calling for Americans to be allowed to carry firearms at the Republican National Convention -- because the ban puts lives at risk.
So you agree the petition is mental, then? Considering it infringes on the venue-owner's right to regulate his private property? That's good.

And naturally, no link to the supposed "petition".
I bet it's mostly just Left Wing agitators "signing" this psy-ops.

Well if you assume that "left wing agitators" are signing it to make the GOP look bad, you must think the petition is bad, yes?

What petition?
RECOGNIZE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO OPEN CARRY FIREARMS AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION AT THE QUICKEN LOANS ARENA IN JULY 2016
I used quotation marks for "his" property because he's renting that to new owners for the duration, so the party should decide.

Perfectly true.
Although the same argument can be made when it comes to discriminating against any person for their beliefs.
