Guns don't kill people on their own. — Thorongil
What the person holding it does with the ink is of no concern to the pen. — Sir2u
But your questions suggest that you haven't properly read or understood what I've written, — Sapientia
They're wrong, clearly. — Sapientia
especially when you can barely refrain from resorting to insults. — Sapientia
1. In contrast to what you said about not knowing whether those who see banning guns as a threat to all of their rights are right or wrong, I know that they're wrong, because they're wrong in the sense that it's an instance of the slippery slope fallacy. — Sapientia

Regulation of our guns is a good thing... — SherlockH
