As I've stated in most gun threads. Banning isn't the answer for America. They should look to Canada more so. They aren't banned here. Some, such as fully-automatic rifles are heavily restricted, and others such as handguns require a special license and evaluation. You also require a license for basic semi-auto rifles, but the evaluation and testing is not as strict as handguns.

The main thing though that separates Canada from the U.S. on gun related crimes is the attitude towards them. Every Canadian I know that owns guns, and there are many, see them as a tool. A tool used for defence, hunting or sport. From my experience talking with Americans about it, many of them see it the same way.

The problem comes in, that there are also a disproportionate number of people that see them as solutions to problems. This is where the issue comes in. When people start to see a gun as a solution to them being wronged in some way by someone else. The reason banning wouldn't work is with this ideology behind them people have also used heavily armoured bulldozers, semi-trucks and various other things to do the job as well as firearms. This needs to be worked on. This is what needs to change. Restricting firearms more than they are may help, but banning them will not.
Pretty much this. People can own as many guns as they want over here, but we have checks in place to make sure that only the right people are getting hold of them.

I think another issue is that US gun laws are so fragmented from state to state. People could potentially smuggle certain firearms from a state with weak laws to a state with stronger laws. If people are doing it with fireworks, I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing it with firearms. Here they are the same across all provinces.


As they say, you can't fight fire with fire.

To sum it up, I'm pretty sure this guy wants to keep his guns.


Your wrong, I don't own guns.
