One does not simply ban guns...

Yes because it's totally the guns fault. Any Normal SANE educated human knows proper gun safety. Heroine was banned, cocaine was banned. OH yet Those are still all over the place. It will be the same with guns. How will they get the guns Everyone already bought? What if an armed robber or murderer with a gun breaks in to your home and you reach for you pistol at the top of you closet, and OH WAIT. Those Mother -blam!-s Are banned now! So the dude just shoots you and possibly your whole family and then steals your stuff and leaves. Just think about it. what if your, say, a hunter. and you hunt because its cheaper way to get food and make some money selling some meat or something of the sort. And then someone takes your guns. There goes Easy living! Oh, or , If you're a farmer and your property has a mountain lion get on it, or a wolf or some other deadly animal that tries to kill your livestock. Now without guns all your animals will slowly be killed. So basically, if we banned guns, it could ruin or screw up a lot of people's lives. and just because it is banned doesn't mean people won't have them. As I said before, take heroine, meth, cocaine, and all those other drugs that are banned, yet still used and easily attainable.

"There's this theory that if there were an infinite number of monkeys pecking away at typewriters, they would eventually write the great works of Shakespeare, but thanks to the internet we now know that's not true." -Adam Savage

NOTE: This is my new primary account. My old account was AgentCOPP1, and I changed it because it was linked to a gamertag that I no longer use.

This is my stand on the issue:

Automatic weapons: banned. No reason why you should have one.
Sniper rifles: strictly controlled. Need difficult license to buy one.
Rifles: Lax laws. They're pretty big, so they're hard to conceal on the person. They aren't as accurate as sniper rifles. Not great for close quarters.
Pistols: Stricter laws than rifles, but not as strict as sniper rifles. Small and easier to conceal on the person.

This and only this.

>Implying today's shooting used automatic guns.

owait, it didn't.
An Ar-15 is an effective killing machine capable of close to mid range kills whether automatic or semi-automatic.

A good rifleman can shoot a semi auto pretty quick;

as demonstrated here

Your argument is less valid.

Btw this is the weapon the killer used along with a glock and a sig sauer

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 but the point is if criminals can;t get guns, that doesn't stop them from killing or attempting to kill.

Also the reason China has crazy gun control is so the population can't take action/defend against their tyrannical government.

Agree 100%, the stats speak for themselves.

Oh, stats?

Datamaster.com shows that on average, motor vehicle deaths exceed firearm related deaths per 100k deaths in the United States.


So, using your logic, we should ban cars, because they kill more than guns.

I hear this 'home invasion' claim often. Just how unsafe is America? And if it is that bad, surely there is a major, and I mean major issue being overlooked here if the average American isn't safe in their own home to the degree that they actively have to plan for armed home invasions.

Besides turning a robbery into an armed robbery is bad enough in terms of the levels of punishment if caught, but armed robbery to multiple-homicide, I'd hardly say its worth the risk of stealing a TV and a laptop

I fully agree. It's gotten out of hand, especially with concealed carry permits and such.

For all of you who have bought a gun for "self defense", when have you ever actually had to use it to defend yourself?

Apparently everyone wants to disregard the 2nd Amendment after a tragedy...It's the PEOPLE'S right to keep and bear arms.

And also. It is written in THE CONSTITUTION that we as American citizens have the right to bear arms. so the only way to lose that right is to amend the constitution. which can take YEARS.

I always think it is funny when people want to give up their rights and the rights of other Americans.

I guess the shooter was unaware that there was a gun ban in effect in the building he shot up. I guess it was lucky for him his victims were aware of the gun ban and were completely unarmed at the time of the shooting. Unfortunately nobody had a police officer in their back pocket at the time of the shooting.

Criminals don't obey gun bans.

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.



I don't know about you pro gun people, but I like having my life and I would prefer to not have my life taken away because of the actions of people with guns.

You know, I always hear people say "we need guns to protect us!", yet I've never seen any reports of civilians using guns to save lives (the closest i saw was that old man who scared away some robbers)

What kind of a question is that?
I purchased my pistol for recreational use and for the POSSIBILITY of self defense.
There's always the POSSIBILITY of someone breaking into your home.
There's always the POSSIBILITY of someone pulling a weapon on you.

The reason you don't see them is because no one was killed. Therefore, no one will televise it. Screwed up, but it's true.

He is also apparently retarded if he can't kill a child with a knife. It almost makes it seem as if he were trying to make a statement with his actions rather than kill.

  • 12.14.2012 5:29 PM PDT

One does not simply trolololol into Mordor.

We need more guns to enforce these new anti gun laws, lets force the gun makers to work overtime at gunpoint to make more guns around the clock to kill all the guys with guns so everyone can feel safer.

The same reason you don't see stories of police and firefighters saving people everyday, unless it's a catastrophe like 9/11 or something.

So over the course of 120 years, there have only been 49 incidents of guns saving lives, now tell me how many times guns have taken lives? i lost count somewhere in the hundreds of thousands.

Your constitution also used to permit people to own slaves. Does that mean the 13th amendment should have never been made?

Please explain to me how criminals obey the law.

I'd rather be shot and instantly killed over having a blade shoved into my body until I bleed to death.

GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE.

-blam!- it's not that hard to understand. Take away the guns, and we'll stab each other. Take away the knives, and we'll beat each other to death with baseball bats. Take away the baseball bats and we'll kill each other with our bare hands.

Guns aren't the -blam!- problem. The problem is a society that glorifies violence and desensitizes it's children with violence.

Your opinion is retarded and has been utterly been destroyed many times over.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

It would be pretty hard to ban guns when we are bordering another country that has cartels pretty much owning the government. A criminal determined enough can just hop the border and grab a gun from Mexico and come back, even if there was a gun ban. Guns shouldn't be bad, period, there just needs to be a few tweaks to gun control and more mental stability tests to make sure no one insane is going to get to hold a gun in their life.
