26. Well, MY defining of WMD in newer than YOUR definition of WMD

Mon Nov 8, 2021, 08:48 PM

Nov 2021

so it must be more current and therefore more applicable, right? Besides, it's local and not from some foreign organization like the UN. Or would you like to go back to WW II and use that one?

Every year it is estimated that 250,000 people are killed with the AK-47. A rifle. One kind of rifle. How many by explosives, nuclear or intentionally released chemical or biological agents every year? If lives matter and you could only remove one item from the earth which would you choose?

Gunners are fun to make fun of and the more they make themselves public the more they do for sensible gun restrictions. Keep posting and keep running off down rabbit holes about definitions. Please!
