@mrjobez @thinkprogress trigger locks, background checks, etc. not tough to do. Inconvenient for the industry, displeasing to extremists.
@profepps @thinkprogress yes, but the fact remains that the primary purpose of a gun is death. For cars death is collateral
.@mrjobez @thinkprogress purpose is logically irrelevant to your claim that making guns safer and enforcing safe handling is "tough."
@Profepps @thinkprogress my point is for guns to retain their character as machines of killing that changes to guns isn't how to make safe
@mrjobez @thinkprogress no clue what that sentence means, Jobeth. Rephrase
@Profepps @thinkprogress the only way to make guns safer is to change people. You can't change the nature of guns
@mrjobez @thinkprogress really? You "can't" put trigger locks on them? Are you serious? Because ... you can.
@profepps @thinkprogress but isn't that like saying that the car parked in my garage won't kill/injure anyone?
@mrjobez @thinkprogress silly. Trigger lock guns less likely to kill children who find them. Is killing children the "purpose" of the gun?
