By your logic we might as well ban tables because they can be used to modify weapons.

No more cars because they could be used for car bombs. Same with propane tanks.

The way to reduce violence is to get to the root of it, mental health services etc.

No need to be a jerk about it though. We have enough problems at the gate vs tearing each other a strip.

I'm not saying to ban anything. Where did I say to ban things?

No but your reasoning is attempting to justify their bans.

Just because there exists a possibility of a bb gun being modified doesn't mean bbs should be banned.

It's the same problem we're seeing now. Just because illegal guns are used in mass casualty events 30+ years ago doesn't mean we should ban ownership on semis now. But Poly believes it (or at least they push it to keep the machine running).

It's not attempting to justify their bans at all.

It's pointing out he is wrong. It is possible, and to say it isn't is more stupid than people saying it is possible.

You're getting locked up over the possibility of something happening which is again, the exact logic that Poly and the Liberals use as justification.

That and calling people neaderthals on a pretty civil sub where respect is typically given isn't winning you any points.
