Speculation is a fancy word for guessing. I don't think that most people realize that this is true even for big time NYSE speculators. The best of the best on Wall street rarely do better than random chance. No one has the answer you seek. There is only guessing about what the squiggly line will do next.

And what if you suddenly go bonkers? Stress, infidelity of your wife, even in the heat of argument. Maybe you want to scare someone off, and it goes too far. Itchy fingers? Carrying it with you day in and day out, it grows on you, and you will want to blow some steam eventually. Having that power. Power which eventually corrupts. I for sure would not want to be around that day.
Oh please.

So the only people who carry guns are gun-nuts and government thugs? If that is your starting premise then you are never going to understand. Well, not yet anyway.
Do you know why the streets in Paris are lined with trees? ... So the Germans can march in the shade. Perhaps eventually you will understand why that can't happen in my country.

If you don't have the right to posses guns, then you have no rights. What you have is permission from the authorities.

That thing looks freakin bomb proof! However you might want to check online to make sure there are no easy exploits. I saw a friend of mine get into his safe by slipping a thin piece of metal past the door. He could get it to touch the combination reset button. <----- His face looked like this.

You cannot remove violence from society because the society itself create it. add guns = add more violence
It's not that simple. Here in the US you can gauge your risk of being shot by the gun laws. The more restrictive, the more likely you will be killed with a gun per capita. New York, LA, and Chicago are the most dangerous places and you have the least gun rights. In rural parts of the US murder is almost unheard of and most people you meet have at least one gun. I saw another example in the Balkans back in the 90's. The Serbs were letting the unarmed Croats have it. They would sweep in to a town before dawn, then the slaughter would begin. Once the Croats were armed and trained the killing came to a halt. The Serbs militias had little interest in fighting armed men.

If a criminal has enough connections to get a fully automatic weapon, they will be able to get a grenade or RPG just as easily.
Full auto weapons are almost non-existent in the criminal world. With rare exception, crime guns are shitty stolen pistols. As far as an RPG or a frag... I have never even heard of one being found by police. They are basically unattainable for criminals in the U.S. It is also a useless tool for a criminal. What would a they need an RPG for? P.S. J603, thanks for arguing honestly. These things are good to debate, and I see you are not one to digress into name calling and such.

Not sure about litecoin, but no way would you be successful with bitcoin on a CPU.

I'm not a fan of democracy, and this position isn't particularly important, but this election should be pretty interesting. It'll be the first big election in the Bitcoin ecosystem. There should be a lot of nice drama. Don't worry, it's not a democracy when you have to buy in to vote, and you can pay $100k for your own board seat. Oh wait it's modeled on real rather than ideal democracy. Never mind, you're right! The only thing that the candidates are running for is the opportunity to work their asses off. Your comments suggest you have a better idea that doesn't cost money. Do tell.

Perhaps we are all on the same page after all? I want stricter laws and enforcement of current laws for those criminals who use firearms. Often the use of a firearm in a crime is bargained away in litigation. Prosecutors can drop the weapon charge in exchange for information. I think that should stop. But for citizens who have no arrest record or mental disorder, the constitution is clear. You have the right to carry a gun and the government has no right to stop you. This has always been the case. In the early days of the U.S. one could not only own the latest military small arms he could own a ship of the line, for example. That would be the equivalent of owning your own complete aircraft carrier. I'm cool with peoples choice to not own a gun. I'm not cool with people who want to decide for others what they can own. Don't worry. Unless you are trying to kill me you will never see my gun. I no longer consider using my weapon to save anyone other than myself. If I see someone hacking someone else to death with a hatchet, I am getting out of there. It's just not worth the legal risk to help others with a gun.

What? Who gets the excuse that "the gun did it"? Whether you murder someone with a fish or a gun you get the same murder charge.
Yes, it's technically possible to kill someone with anything. However good luck killing someone with a squirt gun. It is much easier to kill someone with an AK than with a water pistol.
Murderers don't need easy access to assault weapons.
Mind you, I'm not against guns in general, just ones like AK47s or other automatics which clearly have no merit as a weapon for "self defense". A small pistol or knife is fine. An assault rifle is not.
I am playing devils advocate here. Of course your right that a firearm is more dangerous than a toy. But I can decide for myself what is a good self defense weapon. Most of the worlds soldiers choose an AK for defense. I am licensed to carry knives also, but I rarely do. Even with seven years of studying martial arts and specializing in blades I do not feel confident that I would survive a knife fight. In America an automatic weapon is almost impossible to get unless you can pass very stringent background checks including unannounced home inspections. I carry a pistol but it took four months, hundreds of dollars in classes and licenses, two background checks (full checks with prints and all), and a waiting period and another check for buying the gun. It is simply untrue that these weapons are easy to get.

The only guns that should exist are the ones that cannot be used to assault
What gun would that be? I can assault someone with a Dora the explorer squirt gun if I keep hitting them hard enough. Guns are inanimate objects and are incapable of assault. Only people commit assaults, and they should be charged for it. No, you cannot kill someone with a Dora the explorer squirt gun, no matter how hard you pull that trigger. There is a difference between an AK-47 or other assault rifle and a squirt gun. I think I could kill someone with a squirt gun, although it would be easier with my AK. My point is that the weapon is irrelevant. It takes a person with malicious intent to assault another. They might use a gun or a Bible or a railroad spike or a large dried fish. Whatever they use, they are the assailant and not the weapon. They should face justice without offering them the excuse of "an evil gun made me do it".
