U.S. children and teens are more likely to die because of guns than car crashes, drug overdoses and cancer.

      That’s a bit of a non sequiter, don’t you think? Can you show me where I said that death was a hobby?

        no, i dont think. civilians handling any firearms is a hobby. The government will always have enough stupid teenagers to murder anyone who opposes them, if they really want to (a la russia). The concept of a ‘militia’ could possibly be effective, but I would expect that to be organized, not 19 year olds buying assault rifles. since the one and only purpose of a firearm is death (or, if you wish to split hairs, the threat of death), it means the hobby, firearms, is actually the hobby, death.

        death is not a hobby.

        thank you for coming to my ted talk.

          You could have stopped with, “no, I don’t think”.

          BTW, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam demonstrate that a sufficiently motivated populace is fully able to resist a tyrannical gov’t.
