Im all for thinking about the kids, and after considering their safety as a top most priority i decided keeping guns legal was in their best interest

Nice goal post moving you did there.
Personally I beleive in bodily autonomy.. the same reason I support abortion is the reason I support access to suicide methods.
So guns being a route for suicide is not just ok, it is prefered.

What an ignorant and uninformed way to view the problem.
It sounds pretty much equivalent to saying things like:
"Oh why oh why are cars still legal when kids are dying in car accidents"
Or even worse yet: "If we made vaccines illegal people would stop dying of vaccines.
The reason is because these viewpoints are ignorant of the big picture. Guns save lives, and prevent incidents from happening, they also cause incidents. Any real argument looks at all of that at frames the issue as one of violence first and foremost.
No we arent "oh but we like our toys".. no its more like "Well these tools help us prevent deaths too, so we wont give them up over a poorly framed emotional argument.

And when someone staps someone or beats them with a bat do we cry about how bats are legal... Yes there is a problem, but absurd solutions like making guns illegal is obviously not the answer.
@trinsec yes
@zleap Violence is an issue all around the world, and I agree america, and much of the world, needs to get it in check.

What the fuck did the US screw up about healthcare this time? I honestly stopped keeping track.
@Gaythia If the FDA didnt have the power to make laws, but instead was more of a certification, then it would still have been the FDA.. It is just up to the person if it applies to them or matters.
@Gaythia I think highly gullible people have the right to decide for themselves if they are highly gullible and if they wish to invest in quakery, that is theirr choice.
I beleive in the ultimate rule of bodily autonomy... I dont think abortion is moral either but I think a person has a right to do what they want with their body. If I am ok with them killing unborn babies then I should also be ok with them getting to decide for themselves what drugs they want to put in there or not.
@Gaythia In an ideal world FDA would be a optional certification medical products can have. and would be a non-profit company and not government run.
@Gaythia I am in agreemnt , particularly about the right.. my fear would be instead of going the direction I want (forcing ht eFDA to allow medication it wouldnt normally) it may go the opposite direction (forcing the FDA to make certain drugs illegal).. .that would be far worse a situation...
@Gaythia We should do what a lot of countries do... throw away the FDA, and let people decide what they put in their own damn body... We dont need someone to regulate what we can or cant put in our bodies... if we want someone to tell us thats what doctors are for, but if we want to decide for ourselves that should also be an option.
