IMO, it would be fine if there weren't guns... but since thats impossible in the US of A I'm all for guns, as long as only the right people get them.

I notice so many ignorant people yammering about "military assault weapons" and such.... which is bad enough on the surface, but when you discuss it with them they demonstrate shocking gaps in knowledge in how fire arms work... (An adjustable stock is not making that gun a killing machine :/)

But then again you get the GUNS 4 ERY 1 crowd, who are just as bad in many respects....


So flood, how do you feel about these two groups?

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

The root of the problem is america's mentality.

Its all ridiculous.

Here in Canada, we have ALOT more strict gun and explosive laws. It takes forever to get permission to own one. :P

They both piss me off, and I live in the South so I interact with a lot of pro-gun people regularly. Though I do go to a university, so I also run into a lot of equally uneducated anti-gun people as well.

As for me I lean a bit toward pro-gun but I do not think every Tom, Dick and Jane should just be able to get a gun. They need to be vetted thoroughly and systems need to be a little closer to the UK's form of gun control but I don't think going all the way is necessary.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Why isn't "ignorant people" an option? I have no problems with differing opinions, but people who are ignorant of the subject they're discussing irritate me.

This thread is about two opposing camps in the gun control debate, I included a "both" option that I think reciprocates your sentiment.

There are plenty of reasons, most of them specific to America.

Each culture uses and sees them differently. America has the inheritance of the 2nd Amendment, granting us weapons. I haven't done any research beforehand to see if America's the only country where that's the case.

I hate it when people complain about weapons and yet have never touched one themselves.

  • 12.15.2012 12:30 PM PDT

I despise guns and violence with a passion, but I do realize they can sometimes be necessary.

Rabid anti-communism/patriotism in the past gave america an every-man-for-themselves attitude. Add slavery and forced emigration of blacks and you get a significant portion of the population who hate the system. No one wants to work as a team and thus produces criminals. Then as the icing on top, everyone likes guns.

Pretty volatile cake mix yall got there.

Even on of my friends from south USA said he though Britains gun policy was better

This. They're used for everything from hunting to competition to self-defense.

It's difficult to understand how something works if you've never examined it firsthand. Cars, firearms, air conditioning units, etc. If you're ignorant to the factual specifications and operations of a certain mechanism, you really have no grounds for discussion.

  • 12.15.2012 12:36 PM PDT

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CHROME.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

LAW BREAKERS don't care about your gun LAWS they'll just BREAK them anyway.

Two statements I live by. I'm not crazed pro gun person, but it's just absurd to think that we need to ban guns from everyone or something because one guy killed some people when their are 300 million other citizens (Assuming the US) own their firearms and aren't killing everyone.

To say we shouldn't have any regulation is just asinine, but outlawing all guns is just as stupid.
BOTH!

Im pretty sure knowing the in's and out's of how a gun works is not relevant to stopping shootings. All guns kill people. And some are better at shooting multiple people than other guns. mainly assault rifles

Exactly, this is really apparent the the backlash against scary looking guns "assault weapons" that are functionally identical to their less intimidating counterparts.

Example:

Totally Fine.

Scary Assault Weapon

Internally these guns are pretty much the same... yet only one provokes a certain mindset.

Honestly, I could most likely do more damage in a theater shooting with my 20 gauge that I use to shoot turkeys with than Holmes did with his little arsenal.
People that are afraid of "assault rifles" make me laugh.
