I'm not disagreeing with you Romeo lol

I was just stating what the anti's would most likely say. Most common argument I'd say is "You're trying to compare apples to oranges, they're not the same, a printer wasn't designed to kill, while guns are."

I've heard this numerous times, and no matter how you word it, they will never hear it. Emotion is a potent influence, it warps our way of thinking and makes us throw any sort of rational and critical thinking out of the window.

But I'm sure you already know that, and I won't insult your intelligence any further by repeating what many folks here already know through years of experience and wisdom which I lack :P

Back on topic, I couldn't help but smile while reading through the whole thing, it was really entertaining, and I also agree with you. Such a shame that the anti' have their heads so far up their butt puckers they can't see it let alone hear it.
