Why do Americans want weapons so badly? I see people here insulting people and making threats all because they want guns. Gun are not meant to be handed out to the population like candy. They are meant to be in the authorities and the military. That is all. Do you see these mass shootings happening this much anywhere else in the world? No. Guns don't really save anyone that often. So I conclude that until the Americans let go of their violent ways then guns aren't going anywhere.


A gun has saved my life twice. Guns kill noone. People with mental problems kill people.

Yeah, and guns let them kill more people more easily. America's gun control laws are nowhere near tight enough.

How does that in any way counter the claim that guns are clearly falling into the hands of people who shouldn't have access to them? You might as well have said "cheese tastes nice", because both replies have as much relevance to my point.

How can you stop them from falling into the wrong hands? Its impossible.

If I was a criminal and I couldnt legally obtain a gun, I could drive 15 min to either Camden, NJ or Philadelphia, PA and I could get as many guns as I want.

taking the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Because either way, criminals will still have guns.

So these men entered the house to murder the home owner and children?

Or...to rob the house?

The children were in danger as soon as the home owner drew a gun, you have an armed police force for a reason. I give up

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

To discuss the topic. By your logic, nobody should discuss any news whatsoever in The Flood as there is 'other ways of hearing and talking about it'.

OT: The US needs stricter gun laws. I know this type of thing still may happen without more gun regulations, but the number will no doubt stay high if nothing is changed.

I laugh at the people who are US citizens and want strict gun control policies/banning of firearms. It's not like our country was founded because of strict placements on the people like the outlawing of arms or anything, is it?

The second amendment was placed to make sure that the people can overthrow a tyranny if one ever overtakes this country, and to make sure the common peoples are able to protect themselves in the situation of attack, whether by another nation's army or their neighbor. Also, the use of firearms makes hunting a much more humane sport. Without semi-automatic firearms, there is no chance that the people will ever stand a chance against foreign invaders or a tyrant government's military. Also, without semi-automatic "assault" weapons, we are limited when it comes to varmint hunting, and makes hunting large varmints such as wild hogs/Javelina much more dangerous.


the second amendment is no longer relevant.

i say this because the military of the United states is so much more powerful then anything a citizen can get that if you needed to you would not be able to defend against it, since i do not think your handgun can stop a tank for example.

"durr hurr you cant take ont he us military alone so you shouldn't own guns"'

Back when the 2nd Amendment was drafted, militaries relied on numbers. It was very unlikely of having a few of your mates take on a larger force of soldier and win even if you were in good stragic positions and aimed better. They could keep on sending troops. They could set a blaze to your farm or town and destroy all useful infrastructure you use. The fact that technology has developed so much that spreading thoughts is much more easier, you can't take on an army along but neither back then unless you were a high and powerful member of society. Just look at recent modern revolutions, it's much easier to get military personal on your own side who defected and use their own equipment to help you, not to mention you can't bomb your own population, theres a wide variety of military tactics one can use.

Overall, if your stupid idea that "durr hurr tanks and jets = INVECIVBLELELELE!" why did the military spend trillions on Afghanistan and Iraq wars where insurgency is still large and there's a lot of areas between the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and regions where the US has no influence or power on, and insurgency in Iraq is slowly gaining more power as the own Iraqi Government is fearing an overthrow. Seeing multi-million dollar jets going in to fight a goat farmer with an AK isn't a sign of just how easy it is.

Just proof that every firefighter needs an armed guard. If only then the villain would have been caught and our heroic gun wielding guard would have saved the day....

No you idiots. The gun is not the problem, this disgusting person's mind is. Of course there are some copycats after a mass shooting, this shouldn't surprise anyone. Gun regulations have only hurt America.

What an idiot. A responsible citizen with a gun is a VERY useful thing. WE should ALL be the police, because they can't be counted on when seconds matter.

Nope. What we need is all gun regulations lifted other than selling to felons and mentally unstable. Gun regulations only increase ALL crime, even gun crime.

Exactly. Have you seen these countries with tight gun regulation? Have you? I mean, they don't even go on shooting rampages! What's wrong with them?

Even I give the disturbed people in the military more credit than that. Do you really think they'd kill their own citizens? Especially when at that point the government would no doubt be unable to pay them.
