Gilbert Arenas Loses His Shoe Deal

Jukai: Aside from your recent revelation that you aren’t an NRA spokesperson–which I’m hesitant to believe–you’ve basically regurgitated the opposite of what you’ve been arguing all along, with some slight exceptions.
How can you truly believe that highly restrictive gun laws are needless/useless yet in the next breath say that gun shows, glorifying guns, etc. is pointless? It’s a contradiction. As for you saying that I said, “most of the guns in Mexico were illegal… which seems to be exactly the opposite of what you said about the US, which is that most gun crimes are caused by citizens with licenses,”–well that’s just not what I said at all. First of all, I said that most guns are or have been at one point registered. I followed that up by saying that the issues lies in illegal firearms sales (often done in the parking lots of gun expos) and poor storage of guns (often leading to people stealing them).
Now, I’m not trying to insult you here; in fact, it’s the complete opposite. You see, I thought you were intelligent enough to be able to put two and two together and understand that after a registered weapon is illegally sold or stolen the registration does not carry over. I guess I thought too highly of you, but that is what that means. Never did I say that gun crimes are caused by citizens with licenses. I mean, I guess, in a roundabout way, you can lay some of the blame on those people that these guns were once registered to, as if they would have taken the proper avenues to sell their weapons or done a better job storing them we would see a decrease in these transactions/incidents. As far as your rant about other countries, we can get in to that as in-depth as you want, but I was under the impression that this discussion was about the US. Yes, gun crimes take place everywhere regardless of gun laws, but you really believe that one incident in Germany is comparable to the countless incidents in the US? (Those fluorescent are bad for you, you know.)
Why do I not throw out stats? I don’t have time. Between living a life that isn’t dependent on my mother’s cooking and an Xbox Live account, I don’t trust Wikipedia as a source. To me, open-source data that anyone can add to doesn’t equate to adequate proof of theories, etc. Thanks for coming out, though.
Read a book, bro.
