    RT @NickSloggett: there will always be ways to buy a gun. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Rly? Look at stats 4 other countries.

        @aral Good grief at those RTs. Shows attitude differences. UK has shootings and gun laws are tightened. US: we’d be fine with more guns. Sad

        @aral @NickSloggett “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” makes it sound like laws are meant to inhibit the behaviour of *guns*.

        @aral @NickSloggett I believe the phrase goes "people with guns kill people" - that's the key point ...

        @aral @NickSloggett People with guns kill people. Less people with guns gets less people killed. Statistically proven facts.

        @NickSloggett If the 2nd amendment gives you the right to kill people… yes absolutely. For what other reason would you need a gun? /cc @aral

        @NickSloggett @aral @TimothyWhalin Banning guns because they kill people is a slippery slope. Why not ban McDonalds/alcohol/tobacco too?
