You're dumb.

When criminals have a gun, how am I suppose to defend myself?


Not everyone has a gun for self defense. Most use it mainly to murder
Umm, I don't think the majority of the 300 million people in america use their weapons for murder. Wouldn't be many of us left

The idea of the "right to bear arms" is too ingrained in American society for it to be suddenly removed. People stamp their feet at the mention of banning guns in the US even in the wake of awful tragedies like this shooting.

What... is it 3 mass shootings in one year? It won't make any difference.

If the government actually cracked down on illegal gun dealerships, most criminals wouldn't have guns.

Why do we even have the police? If everyone should have guns, there is no need for them. Even children should be carrying guns./sarcasm

No, most people who own guns do not use them for murder. That's just false.


I said use I didn't say own. Can you show me gun death statistics between murder shootings and self defense shootings?

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.


Your facts are way off. Here is the list of highest gun related deaths by country.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-rel ated_death_rate

The US comes in at ninth. The worst country has over 5x the gun deaths. And you think the US has a lot of tragedies and mass killings? Couldn't be more wrong, go live in countries like Israel where there is a suicide bombing every two weeks. In fact I believe the US is dead last in the target of terrorist attacks.

As if someone couldn't walk in with a baseball bat and smash kids in the head to kill them instead. I'd like guns to be more readily available, and decent security guards at schools wouldn't hurt either.

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

All guns need to be banned, not just automatics.


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.
Civilians should not be armed with guns. Simple as.


The reason we have guns is not for hunting or defense, it is if we ever need them to fight tyranny or oppression of the government.

The government loves restricting gun rights to citizens.

I believe just because 8-10 people recently (over several years) misused their guns in shootings does not reflect the thousands of legal gun owners.

You can't get rid of guns because some -blam!-s broke the law with them. and FYI, look how easy it is to get illegal drugs, you think it wouldn't be just as easy to get guns if they were illegal?

It's funny, they tried banning handguns in D.C., but crime only went up.

In any event, there should be stricter gun laws, but to entirely ban all weapons is the incorrect solution.

I wish you read my thread. I'm talking 1st world countries. Not only does Israel not fall into that category, but it's also a war zone. Plus you linked to a group.

If you count hunting as murder, then yes

Banning guns would be a win for criminals. If you honestly think that criminals wouldn't still get guns then you're ignorant. Hell, we would have even worse massacres.

  • 12.14.2012 1:43 PM PDT
Subject: Guns Need to be Banned- No Exception

Believe it or not, America doesn't have the highest crime rate involving firearms.


Protip: people who are going to commit murder, obviously have no problem breaking a few laws in order to do so. Banning firearms won't solve the problem.



Also, who the hell is going to to go out and collect all the firearms that have been sold in the U.S.???

If the USMIL ever decided to attack its own civilians, we'd stand no chance. It doesn't matter how many guns we have when they have drones, Blackhawk helicopters, tanks, etc.

Someone forgets about the Norway massacre, it also doesn't help that Mexico, a country that borders between a 3rd and 1st world country, is on our border...

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

You make out with midgets.

Too many people have overdosed on prescribed medications that have saved many other peoples lives. Lets outlaw them because the overdosing is getting out of hand and this will solve a percentage of suicidal cases.

"Most use it mainly for murder."

With this you imply that MOST people use guns for murder, and that's just false.

SOME people do, yes, it's extremely unfortunate and sad, however MOST people use guns for hunting and target shooting AS WELL AS self-defense.

The idea behind this is sound, but its no longer relevant to a modern America. You guys are armed to the teeth with weaponry and you use them on each other more than tyrants and oppressors.

The right to bear arms isn't tainted by just "8-10 people recently".
