But you can strangle them with a power cord. Better ban those as well.

True. I guess liberals just never realized that people are killed without the involvement of guns. Have you thought about spreading this enlightening news?

Na, you can’t kill someone with a smile

But you can strangle them with a power cord. Better ban those as well.

The only defense vs a bad guy with a power cord is a good guy with a power cord.

You ever hunt deer with a power cord? Precooks em too

We all know where this thread is going to go.

Guns bad.
Guns kill people
Guns need to be banned.

Well, we definitely didn’t expect to talk about the dangers of power cords

You sure about that?

AlexMcAlpine:

Here, I’d like to post news articles of people killed via gun, versus those killed by other means.

It’s the means by witch a person was killed (you know rp puts up an article about guns and then mentions other means).

Looke like I’m right on topic to me.

Just because something is technically on topic doesn’t mean it’s expected or meaningful.

I could probably find an article of someone dying from a rare form of bacteria. What, you want to ban bacteria?

See. On topic. Meaningless.

Was the rare bacteria purposly given to the person who died?

If not, then it’s not what this thread is about.

Try again.

Wrong. OP never mentions purpose or more than one person’s involvement.

Now back on topic. Tell us how and why we should be concerned about power cords

If you go by that then, the larges killer of all is illness and natural death.

Not sure how we are going to stop that.

Oh ok. It’s almost like you’re saying some examples are meaningless to the thread topic.

Snow96 · 2020-02-10T04:08:18.469Z

The topic is clear. Trust me. My examples are right on topic.

ImRightYoureWrong · 2020-02-10T04:10:47.436Z

Yugely on topic. Maybe the most on topic of any posts ever.

ImRightYoureWrong · 2020-02-10T04:12:09.715Z

How many people die from power cord strangulation a year?

Snow96 · 2020-02-10T04:18:38.569Z

Couldn’t tell you.

ImRightYoureWrong · 2020-02-10T04:19:42.860Z

Shouldn’t that be a central question to the significance of focus on one weapon vs the other?

Snow96 · 2020-02-10T04:20:21.275Z

Nope.

ImRightYoureWrong · 2020-02-10T04:23:16.659Z

Ok. If the number of occurrences of murder by a specific tool is irrelevant to the degree on which we focus on the said tool, why are guns, specifically, so important to you? You don’t need a gun to stop a power cord strangler.

I’ll start the jepardy theme for you to guess.

Looks like you’re playing it for yourself.

It’s almost like you’re just about to admit that the high occurrence of gun violence is due to the efficacy of such tooling, and that given both its efficacy and rate of usage, it is better to focus our limited public resources on gun violence rather than, say, power cord strangulations
