Oh, I think gun laws will be better than what we have, but there are soooo many guns already. If we completely stopped selling guns to the public here, we would still have 400,000,000 guns floating around in the states. No way they had more guns per capita than current US. I will see if I can find that number somewhere, but I expect it to be less than 20 guns per 100 people.
And they would all disappear one by one.
I figure he just has an opinion.
You are right about the epidemics. I do not think I am a defeatist or an excuse maker... but I try to be a realist. 400 million guns.
I take it that you are a gun owner?
A gun buy back program seems logical as long as law enforcement isn't involved. Somehow those bought back guns aren't destroyed like they claim they'll be.
What a shit stupid thing to say
You have jumped to conclusions about me and what I am (unsuccessfully) trying to say. I feel we have too many guns -- how do you take it that I am pro gun ownership and that I am scared of not having guns? My city has had a recent mass shooting, and I am not apathetic about it.
Your circular argument is without justification and defeatist .
Burt,
Finally, the truth.
A great opportunity to recycle that great GOP idea of mandatory minimum sentences I might add. I mean what used to be good for enough for pot users and dealers, should be good enough for offenders of law and order!
Remember when they could take yer house on a rumor with no day in court?
I'm very clear on gun control being a means to achieve an objective, but unfortunately you see it as a weapon of your self appointed, moral superiority.
Most are there because they had easy access to a gun, it's a fallacy to believe more guns make you safer and there is a ton of data to prove it too. Damn near every kid had a gun in Afghanistan at one point and many still do, how safe do you think it is there? Everybody armed to the teeth and living in fear is bullshit and not a formula for a happy life or positive outcomes.
I was responding to a poster who said that nothing can be done because there are already too many guns in the US. Do you agree with him or are you just having another knee-jerk reaction because I've owned and belittled you for your stupid baseless opinions on other subjects? All I want is the same level of gun violence you have in Canada. I think we should model a system from Canada's. Is that too much to expect? Should I be nice to morons who say that isn't possible?
I'd have to actually take you seriously for you to have "owned me", and belittling people is not a characteristic I would be proud of.
