The great gun-control debate

[zeitgeist]

I dont think taking away guns would make the crime rate go down. There are thousands of other ways to kill a man. Even if it did though we would never do it becasue of our love for guns.
Banning guns is pointless though. It would be the exact same thing as "The War on Drugs"

Dont need to ban guns, Just put the price up on bullets.. Like chris rock says in one of his stand ups, if you charged $5000 per bullet, people would think twice before pulling the trigger...

But on the real side, I think guns should be banned period.. Why the fuck do u need to own a gun for? Are you fighting a war? NOPE!

If less people had guns then less people would be getting shot and dying...

Cars kill more people than guns ever did ....ban and confiscate all motor vehicles!!

That has about as much merit as your statement....

BTW... What branch of the military did you serve in?? how many years?? None?? I thought so. Do you have any firearms training?? No??? I thought so. Do you hunt?? No?? I thought so. Before you go off on a tangent and try to tell those of us who *volenteered* to serve, you might want to think twice.... and then walk a mile in our boots. Hundreds of thousands of men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice so you have the freedom to speak your mind an not be persicuted or prosecuted for it. Freedom is *NOT* free. It comes at a terrible price.
Its best not to push a point unless your willing to take up arms to defend those freedoms.

[melodious fellow]

Hunting is peachy, and perhaps one could stretch the hobby of target practice to possibly include handguns (not IMO, but at least I see the argument)

Now that being said, what in the world does Average John Doe need with an assult weapon?

Just curious... :rastasmoke:

Same old logical problem. "We should ban all guns" followed by "if nobody had guns..."

SINCE WHEN CAN WE MAGICALLY MAKE ALL THE GUNS DISAPPEAR? They banned marijuana and it's use has exploded. Only in magical fairy la-la land can you legislate something out of existence.

Outlaw the guns, and only outlaws will have them.

but if everyone had a gun the criminal wouldent break in to your house or mug you if they knew that you had one.

So by that logic any area with easy gun laws should see less burglaries , robberies and gun crime than somewhere with tight gun laws. Doesn't seem to be working in the US.

That is exactly the common sense that I agree with! Only the criminals will be the ones with guns. The only people being punished are the law abiding citizens.

And frankly I don't feel any safer where guns are illegal to have. Just think about it. If you were a criminal who would you target? A New Yorker? Where no one has a gun to defend themselves. Or Texas, where theres a pretty good chance the person your robbing is going to pull a gun right back at you. Just look at that vigilante down in Texas. His neighbors house was being robbed and he did the right thing. He called the cops, repeatedly told the criminals to stop, and when they didn't he shot them.

That's a damn good neighbor if you ask me.

[zeitgeist]

He shouldnt have shot them though. He was being an irresponsible gun owner becasue they were no threat to anyone and he killed them as they were running away.
