While anti-violence activists continue to push for stricter gun laws including an all-out ban on assault weapons, gun advocates have dug in their heels, arguing that banning firearms and concealed carry violates people’s rights. Here are arguments for and against gun control:
PROS OF GUN CONTROL:
- Advances the NRA’s mission of responsibility with firearms
- Cold, dead hands free to hold other things
- Mailroom guy just stormed off after getting fired
- Guns are so loud!
- Nerds, freaks, and weirdos could once again be put in their place without fear of reprisal
- Still hundreds of other ways to murder people out there
- Family not worth defending
CONS OF GUN CONTROL:
- Ugh, already bought so many guns
- Leaves citizens defenseless against government with world’s largest military, vast stockpile of nuclear weapons
- Shopping for wedding gift suddenly even harder
- Already hollowed out Bible
- Nothing to spin around finger when bored
- May encounter some resistance
- Bang! Bang! Bang! Woohoo!
