duetch is saying that if all guns go away crime goes down. nugent is basically calling him a reatrd and saying only then criminals would have guns lol.
Rocks, knives, crossbows, baseball bats, and icepicks, as inanimate objects, cannot cause harm unless utilized in a reckless or malicious manner. Those who wish to believe that an unthinking object can effectivly and independently raise violence in society are intentionally avoiding the
real issue. Violence is a social condition, passing laws against specific items will do nothing to hamper the means of those who are a true threat. In the end it is easier to look like you are doing something than to actually do it.
oh and, "if all guns go away" ? It's about 400 years too late for that, firearms shaped all of recent history and permeated society, generations before any of us were born. This is just wishful thinking, we live in a modern world, deal with it.
