Subject: Guns Need to be Banned- No Exception

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

This has gotten out of hand. Today's shooting has been the worst since Virginia Tech, and this one was with children. All because someone was able to easily obtain a killing, MAN killing machine.

No other 1st world country has ROUTINE massacres like the United States. If we don't have a major one every 6 months, that's a miracle.

Many people who are gun enthusiasts here believe they should be allowed access to these weapons because they're fun to use. Would you rather have fun, or have continuous shootings routinely in your country?

Others argue that if everyone had had guns, it wouldn't have been has bad. Are children gonna carry guns? Out west in the cowboy age, when people got into towns they had to turn their weapons in. Why? No one wanted drunk cowboys destroying the settlement. And that was in the 19th century.

Why doesn't England have such bad massacres? Italy? Spain? Germany? Japan? China? Russia? Because they have strict gun laws to prevent them. The only major foreign shooting that I can think of is the one in Norway a few years ago, but that was not as terrible as the one today and was a planned terrorist attack.

Just my opinion.

Wait, you want to ban the weapon that is most obvious? Why not ban small guns? Its hard to run up on someone with a 4 foot long gun

You want to know why the U.S. has such a high crime rate? It's most likely because we have such a high population.

More people=more variables.

You've apparently failed statistics classes where you learned crime rates are compared per 100,000 population.

If you are going to argue pro-gun, don't do it stupidly.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

No they don't

I don't know about you guys, but I like having rights and I would prefer to not have my rights taken away because of the actions of a very small number of people.

Nope. If we can't have automatic guns only criminals will. For us citizens it will be like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

They call me graland.

Can you show me the last time a legally acquired, fully-automatic firearm was used for a violent crime?

Obviously, because owning an automatic gun would make you a criminal.

None of the recent shootings that people have been so butthurt about have used automatic weapons. If anything, you should argue to ban handguns. But then the pro-gun people would cite how well that did in Chicago.

This, look at the first world countries who have strict gun laws on this list.

Anyone who thinks anyone would be able to just get a gun if guns were banned are deluded. Do people actually think that everyone is smart enough to be able to buy a gun illegally? Unless security is very bad over there.

Also, I'd expect people to sometimes get angry and act without thinking. It always happens. Having such easy access to any gun gives the person an easy way to kill someone. Do people expect the other guy to just be able to pull out a gun and defend himself? That's what most people think like on this forum (Solution to guns: more guns, that silly mentality.)

Then why do other countries with strict gun laws not have this problem? Not trying to flame, just asking for your side.
