21. There is NO logic in the position that no gun measure is worth considering unless 100% effective in

ALL circumstances...

If the extremists among the pro-gun side were anything than disingenuous, they would acknowledge that NO safety intervention ever undertaken is 100% effective in all cases.

Not seat belts
Not infant car seats
Not airbags
Not eye protection
Not bullet-proof vests
Not flotation devices
Not vaccines
Not head phones
Not helmets
Not "fire-proof" clothing
Not bee-sting prophylaxis/anti-anaphylaxis kits
Not condoms
Not CO detectors
Not smoke detectors

and on and on and on and on....

To suggest we should do NOTHING in the face of the daily death toll from guns because no law and no protective intervention could be 100% effective in ALL cases is simply ludicrous (and dishonest).

Your case could be bolstered by an example or two ... DonP Jan 2016 #8

He posted more in this thread than in his own group for a month n/t DonP Jan 2016 #14

Generally, it's the anti-gunners that expect 100 percent effectiveness beardown Jan 2016 #26

And if they don't get it, they push another law! Makes perfect sense. Eleanors38 Jan 2016 #28
