No.  A "war on meteors" isn't necessary--however, you can't tell me that you "need" more than one meteor. 

No one is trying to take your legitimate space debris away, but I think it's time for the American public to have a serious discussion on whether or not meteors that fragment upon atmospheric entry serve a necessary purpose.

I think we should stock up on meteors now in a frantic panic.

Meteorites are about as much of a threat to society as assault weapons.

how many nutbags used meteorites to kill people last year?

i think the meteor manufacturers are doing everything they can to encourage space debris hoarders to irrationally pay double for a product which will be readily available a year from now.

More people kill others w rocks than they do "assault rifles"   - you equal FAIL

[Straw Man]

sure they do

that's why you can show me any of the numerous incidents from last year when a nutbag slaughtered multiple people with a rock in a matter of a few seconds

just pick one of the many incidents you were recalling when you wrote your post

Again - who cares about a few isolated incidents?  The aggregate number is what matters.   Ban assault rocks now! 

[blacken700]

so someone who wants to kill someone is going to choose a rock over a gun   guns kill more people that rocks

what's an assault weapon

[Roger Bacon]

what's an assault weapon

Your people define an assault rifle as any rifle that's scary looking.

[Straw Man]

Your people define an assault rifle as any rifle that's scary looking.

who are "you people" and when did I ever say scary looking rifle = assault weapon?

The nutbag in CO had a Smith & Wesson M&P15 with a 100 round drum magazine

Do you people call that an assault weapon or is it something you people use when you're out hunting varmits

[blacken700]

The 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which expired on September 13, 2004, codified the definition of an assault weapon. It defined the rifle type of assault weapon as a semiautomatic firearm with the ability to accept a detachable magazine and two or more of the following:
 a folding or telescoping stock
 a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
 a bayonet mount
 a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor
 a grenade launcher

So again you agree it's not the overall body count that matters it's the number at one time...good to know

Using this definition straw how many ppl were killed by assault weapons last year?

I don't know much about varmint hunting but I do know that sort of thin would be used to defen defend ourselves from ppl intent on harming us including govt...you know just like the 2nd amendment was designed to do?

so can a shotgun or a revolver or even, according to posters on this site, a hammer or a rock (the last two being quite deadly)

ask the dinosaurs how they feel about high velocity space debris.

Clearly, they should have banned space rocks.
