OK, just for giggles, I will try the high road. Let's try Logic on you. Forcible Rape is a violent assault. Men commit almost all forcible rape. I am a male, and thus equipped for rape. Perhaps you are, too. (Can't tell, you have a big question mark for an avatar.) Should I (and you, if male) be castrated merely because I am equipped for rape and come from that segment of society that commits most rape? (Not socioeconomic levels here.....the rich rape, too.) You actually suggested making magazine fed weapons NFA items, yet own and want to keep at least one. (TCP .380) The logic is the same as wanting to castrate the rest of us males on here merely because we have a penis, and are capable of rape, but keep your tiny one. (The TCP) . If you want to castrate yourself, go ahead, I won't stop you. If you want to castrate me, you're barking up the wrong tree.
And don't get all Freudian on me, gun=phallus and such. There are plenty of women than own and carry guns, and hey, we've come full circle-to prevent rape is among the reason many of them carry.
It just happens that this analogy should succinctly illustrate the fallacy of your logic.
Ok, Ok, I get that earlier you only meant mass shootings, because you are apparently OK with garden variety shootings. And mass rape is rarer these days, though it still happens. But the logic of castrating every male to prevent rape is faulty (survival of the species notwithstanding) , as is your anti gun thinking.
I do not know how we got along w/o having a walmart in every neighborhood. It will be just like going back in time when one had to get out to crank the thingy in front of engine before the car engine could start.
