gun control (really)

listen folks:

Countries that have stricter gun control have less gun violence. Period. look it up. If you want to decrease gun violence, you must decrease the number of guns out there.

You cannot hunt with a pistol. They are for killing People at close range. does it seem safe to you for millions of people to be carrying person killing machines ? sure, most of them will be safe and responsible, but it only takes a few nutjobs to kill lots of people.

Gun proponents use the argument that guns are for protection. How often are guns used for protection? how many people have used guns in that fashion? Now, how many people have been murdered by guns? do the math. Guns are a net harm to society.

Now I agree that it would be hard as hell to control existing guns, but don't you think it's worth it? I personally do.

Cornelius i dont disagree with you but you just opened up a bag of worms bro.

A country like Britain, which banned guns, have their problem spilled over into non-gun related violent crime, which is higher per capita than the states.

It carries enough knockdown power to put a 250 lb man off his feet if you hit center mass and lord knows I hope I never have to use it, but if I do the test for the carry permit details how to do it, 2 in the chest and one in the head. Never shoot to wound, he might survive and come back and kill you.

No, the wire style (taser) only delivers 50,000V......I guess up close and personal is more my style. LOL

DAMN DUDE! You may be a peaceful person on the outside but your a full fledge neo-con on the inside. Seems funny to me that the peace lovers that have no fear are the best armed in here.....who lives in fear? NOT I said the man with the stun gun. LOL

Have a good one!:s4:

Well, I don't think there is that much crime in Wisconson anyway is there? If I lived on a farm, I doubt I'd have need of a Handgun, but I'd definently have a shotgun and a deer rifle. I have a 700 lb fireproof safe that I keep my guns in, so the kids can't get to them. I have enough guns for everyone in my immediate family to have at least two if needed for home defense. I believe in "better safe than sorry", or " better to have a gun than not when needed" I keep one gun out of the safe in a place where the kids do not know and can not get to but I can very easily, just in case, it's my colt .45ACP. I have it loaded with hollow points and it would only take one shot to bring down a crazed 250lb. man on PCP. It's a one shot wonder, you shoot once and wonder where he went. I don't keep a round in the chamber so if by any chance a kid found it (Absolutely no chance) they couldn't chamber a round anyway. Have you ever chambered a .45, takes a bit of strength.

How can you even compare Canada to America. One thing, the density of the population is 3 per mile vs 25 per mile in America. Look for example in Toronto. The crime rate there is comparable to some metropolitan areas in America.

In terms of habitable land, we have more ground to cover. In the countryside, at least in VA and WV there is a strict rule. You trespass, you get shot. It's only fair, because you shouldn't tread on other people's property. I'm sure most non-urban shootings are related to this concept.

When you are aware that people own guns, you think twice about robbing someone house, or harming someone. You never know if someone would end up popping a cap in your ass. This fear is a great deterrent to crime.

LMAO!!! Talk about a stereotype dude.....yipper, we's all to busy with the cow tippin' contests to be a shootin' at each other. LOL

I don't live in the mean streets of Milwaukee but I'm not out on the farm either. LOL........if someone breaks into my house and I'm here they'll initially notice a very nice collection of knives/swords and accessories on the walls. From there I got my friendly zapper not to mention a mase fogger.

About the ONLY reason I'd be leary of using a pistol is because of stray bullets.....wouldn't want to kill the wrong asshole. But I sure don't deny the right for anyone else to have them.......just a personal choice.

Have a good one!:s4:

MED will you be my bodyguard next time i go to Toronto.I can just see it now Rambo protecting little old me lol.......Torontos murder rate is the lowest in Canada per capita .In 1995 Toronto with a population of 2.5 million 78 murders 52 of them gun related.So thats not even close to U.S cities...Sorry i couldnt find any statistics from last year
