Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

It's not just about the murders, although that's bad enough."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Originally posted by Charles View PostI am sure that you are aware that when you seek to reduce a risk, you might introduce new risks which might cause you to reconsider. I am also sure you can think of instances in which cars help save lives and provide means of life, among other very useful things. Thus banning cars could actually cause more deaths. Like when some people claim that some of the mass shootings could have been prevented or stopped at an earlier point if more good people had guns.

If nobody could legally own a gun, then only criminals would have guns and we would have no defense against them.
