Its a laptop, and i aint slagging anything off, your country has Way different neighbors than us so stop pretending everyone's domestic policies are interchangeable

no ones complaining about central america being harsh on drugs
I'm on a tab, and yet...

Anyway, aren't you supposed to be harsh on drugs, since they're, you know, illegal?

Or are you of the mindset that nothing should be done about crime since criminals break laws?
i dont have an alternate keyboard idiot
and no our laws on drugs are not as harsh as say columbia where anything used to process cocaine (i.e.cemicals,drug precursors) are as illegal there as a crack rock is here.

That would only work if the "maniacs" acquired those guns through legal methods and went through a background check. This sums up anything else I could say about this, wow.

84% of weapons used are stolen from a law-biding citizen and then used, and that's an argument against gun control? Sheeeit son, we need to take a page from the Canadians and start legislating some minimum weapon storage measures. Bare minimum they should be under lock and key if they aren't on someone's person.

Man, 84%, that's insane. How is it that lax? You can legally get fingered up the *** by TSA at the airport but you can leave an Uzi laying out on your front porch? Let's use some common sense people!



OMG!!! Personal responsibility in America?!?!?!. Guns get the blame, when in reality it's the dip-blam!-s that leave guns available to their children or friends. If they were locked up when not in use and the proper precautions were taken we wouldn't have so many incidents.


I'm a gun owner, I have several. All are in a safe and have locks in the loaders/triggers. No kids going to break into my house and steal them and go commit a crime, it'd be more trouble than it's worth. And I carry the keys with me.

Why is it in America everybody has to own a gun? This is why your society is so morally broken.

Why not ban guns like many other countries? And then you will see a dramatic drop in gun related crime. But oh no, your country is far to proud to follow educated decisions - you have to be independent.

Japan has a full ban on guns, and they have next to no gun related deaths in their country. Now those patriotic Americans will say "But criminals will get guns even if they are banned stupid foreigner! Criminals don't obey the laws foreigner!". Well lets break that down.

-Guns become banned.
-Criminals want guns.
-Guns are now black market products much like drugs and the police now dispatch divisions into finding these black markets.
-Police set up 'fake' black markets, or 'sting' operations catching more criminals
-Since guns are banned, finding these black markets won't be easy will it? So the time it takes for these criminals to get weapons will be much longer.

Still criminals will get weapons, but at least now they can't go and walk into a store and hand pick them.....


If all of you are that paranoid that you need a gun to protect yourselves then why not get a Tazer? They aren't lethal and will not kill or seriously injure people who you think will harm you..... but that's not kewl enough is it?

And then you have all this economy stuff because guns are such a massive source of income in your country that banning them will result in job losses and more recession.... then you will all blame Obama.

So your country is pretty much F'd. It is corrupt and there is no easy fix due to the fundamental way your country works.

Last year there were 31940 people killed by firearms last year.
851 were accidental discharge
19,766 were suicides
11,101 were homicides
222 were undetermined

258 were lawful use of lethal force.

61% of deaths were suicides. You can throw that out, as people will commit suicide regardless of what is available.

34% of deaths were homicides. If we rule out Crimes of passion, which is the most likely way to get murdered, as well as Criminal v Criminal, firearm deaths are incredibly low.

Your average person on the street with no criminal affiliation, and is not cheating on their significant other will likely not be killed by a firearm. In fact, it would be extremely unlikely.



Also, tasers are illegal in some jurisdictions, and are some times ineffective. Same with pepper-spray or MACE.

When the adrenalin pumps, and the intent is there, a little electric shock or eye irritation will not stop you. Adrenalin is a helluva' drug.

USA: 3,794,083 square miles, 311,591,917 people

Japan: Not next to an unstable country full of drug cartels on the border.
USA: Has a large amount of gang activity and dangerous cartels moving around on the border.

Gun bans would be impossible. While there are studies that prove this or studies that prove that out there about gun control, I don't really think many of these countries have the gun culture America does.

Ban guns? Force a turnover to the govt? There will be people resisting, willing to die before they hand over their weapons.

And when the government starts killing its own citizens when they refused to turn over their guns? Sounds like the definition of tyranny to me.

Japan's homicide rate per capita (which gets rid of the population factor) is still MUCH lower than ours and they have much stricter gun regulations.

Another difference is Japan never had an constitutional amendment allowing guns, that is more then 200 years old, and therefore does not have civilians owning millions and millions of guns.

I do think it is impossible then to get rid of guns because of the amount of legal owned firearms. Of course there is also the large amounts of illegal weapons to.

Compare those figures to a country with guns banned. It is very obvious the deaths will be lower, but the point is that there are less criminal with weapons - less threats to police and civilians in general.
I would do a full on stats breakdown based on total deaths in your country but it's not worth my time. Police must find it hard where there is always a threat that a law-breaker may be holding a gun.

If I make a reference back to the recent school shooting, this person didn't have to go very far to gain access to a weapon did they? Make guns illegal and very few people own guns then it becomes very hard to perform those actions. (Of course they may still happen but not everything can be stopped, but it can be prevented in many ways) This person may have had to resort to using a knife in which somebody could have over powered him, which could have resorted in far less deaths.

Honestly, if your country seriously believes that everybody should be able to get basically any gun they want after a 3 day waiting period or something then..... I'm sorry - but the next time there is a mass shooting you will have no sympathy from me.

I now understand why your country is so low on the global education scale.

And who said it was anything about population? And what do civilians have to do with drug movements? Oh that's right they have nothing to do with it. Who said that law enforcements can't use guns? They aren't criminals nor normal civilians so how are your points relevant at all?

I don't want to sound condescending but it's about principle...... and I don't think you will ever understand what I mean. Other countries do though.

Again, the US has a large amount of gang activity among youths, and we have dangerous cartels on the border. To the stats!

Age group 18-34 deaths:
Victims: 68.4% from Gang related homicide
Offenders: 69.2% Gang related homicide
Victims: 59.3% gun homicide
Offenders: 64.8% gun homicide

*facefist*

The whole point of my post was to point out that we have gun problems mostly because of gangs and drug cartels. Trying to put a ban on guns will be incredibly ineffective because of the huge size of the US and the huge population. It would be too hard to manage. Who the -blam!- said anything about taking guns away from law enforcement? That's the most random thing I've seen all day. A large amount of homicides come from gang related crime. What are you on about? Are you seriously that stupid to think that the only homicides in the US that is counted are civilian homicides? Why are you bringing that up?

I have been a victim of home invasion. A person broke into my house and began -blam!-ly assaulting my wife, not realizing that I was home. I did not own any firearms at that point in time and was only able to chase him away. He was not caught by the police and may still be out there -blam!-ly assaulting women. I now own several firearms and my wife and I both have our CHLs.

Everyone wants gun control. Ok I'll give it to you. Model our gun laws after switzerland's and make unconcealed carry legal for all licensed non felons. Switzerland has almost as many firearms per capita as the US and has 1/10th of our gun related violence. That's my idea of gun control

Problem being that Switzerland has mandatory service. Every person in the country is a member of the armed forces. They all have their service rifles, and AT launchers in their homes.


People would flip a -blam!- if that was instated here in the US. Remember the 60's when the Hippies were burning their draft cards? Yeah, scale that up to full blown riots.

Japan's homicide rate per capita (which gets rid of the population factor) is still MUCH lower than ours and they have much stricter gun regulations.

inb4correlation!=causation (Pro Tip to some people: just because you know that correlation != causation doesn't mean that you can just discredit all correlation as worthless.)
Again, the US has a large amount of gang activity among youths, and we have dangerous cartels on the border. To the stats!

Age group 18-34 deaths:
Victims: 68.4% from Gang related homicide
Offenders: 69.2% Gang related homicide
Victims: 59.3% gun homicide
Offenders: 64.8% gun homicide


And yet you do nothing.
