Per capita, Canada has as many guns as America.
While growing up my parents, family, and friends all have guns.. I grew up in Texas, we never had a single safty issue with guns.
Your kid could die from sticking a key into a socket, which far more likely to happen than an accident with a gun.

I wouldn't expect you to understand. I'm not saying guns are for invasion protection, BUT, remember how this country was founded. Remember what we had to do to get it...kill a lot of europeans ;-)
Funny enough about the whole guns argument...I grew up in Wyoming. Everyone had a gun and knew how to use one. You know what the crime rates were? How about the number of gun-related deaths? Percentage-wise less than places with stricter gun laws and less available guns. We were able to have guns in gun racks and even on our sides as long as they weren't hidden. The fact that gun owners in that area were *educated* was also the key. I can't think of a single friend of the family that owned a gun and didn't have at least a locking gun cabinet. Hmm, odd, a town with actually more guns than people and no instances of children shooting themselves or each other...
I also hate how anti-gun people love to say "ok, but let's count out swimming pools and cars and stuff because they don't count" But why not? Aren't they the same thing? Something that can lead to death if not used properly? You just want to bias your argument. You also forget, we already have tons of gun laws on the books. Adding more won't do anything if they don't enforce the ones that already exist.Comment

So would not locking your kitchen cabinet that might contain poison
So would leaving your child unattended in a swimming pool
So would leaving your kid in a running car while running into the store to get smokes
Chris, next time you're in vegas, let's go shoot some high powered rifles at one of the indoor gun ranges here....soon you'll be wanting one too ;-)Comment

As you know I lived in Canada for 2 years.. I'm American.
My truck, locked and armed was stolen out of my drive way in Canada after being in Canada for only 1 week. I then found out that Canada has one of the highest vehicle theft rates in the world.
My basement windows were broken out, more than once tried to break in to steal my computers. I also had someone walk straight into my house without knocking. And I had a neighbor try to get violent with me when he thought I broke into his motor home.
Now in Texas, I lived in a crap house in a crap city. Not once did someone screw with my cars or try to break in. Why? Well, because in Texas it's safe to assume everyone has a gun. Oh and I can shoot you dead on the spot, it really puts a dent into crime. ~TheDoc - ICQ7765825

I'm not sure on the laws... but let's say someone enters your driveway and wants to get into your car?
Can you just shoot on him? Serious question.
And if you can, would you do it?I don't use ICQ anymore.Comment

I own guns and know how to use them and have used guns to kill people and would do so again under circumstances that I deem to be proper. I am not concerned with the question of safe or less safe. The only safety that I am concerned with is my own or those that I care about. I also target shoot and used to hunt game. I like the fact that Americans are allowed to own guns.
Nancy boys...like the originator of this thread...of course do not like guns...most girly boys do not.When you're running down my country hoss...you're walking on the fighting side of me!

Generally, national average statistics show that the more ?Right to Carry? laws that are put into effect, the less crime tends to occurs. Since 1991, the nation?s violent crime rate has decreased every year and is currently at a 30-year low. This drop has occurred as 21 states have adopted ?Right to Carry? laws and the total number of firearms in the United States has risen by more than 60 million.
On average, states with expanded ?Right to Carry? laws have 21% lower total violent crime rates, 28% lower murder rates, 43% lower robbery rates and 13% rates for lower aggravated assault. In fact, 9 of the 10 states with the lowest violent crime and murder rates have ?Right to Carry? laws in place.
Why does crime decrease in these situations? Criminals prefer not robbing or assaulting those who might have the means to protect themselves. In ?Right to Carry? states, the criminals don?t know who is carrying a concealed weapon and who isn?t!

Actually in Texas I believe you can shoot if they are on your property, but I also think you have to prove that your safety was in jeopardy.
I would not shoot someone who was not posing a threat to me or my family.
Just stealing my car, no I would not kill them, thats what insurance is for.

hmm..no positives?
Ever try to hunt a moose with a spoon? Evidently you didn't think things out before you typed huh?
I own guns, I hunt. They're not for protection (no one that knows me would attempt to harm me or enter my house without permission, I have dogs that handle that). My guns are for one purpose only, killing large tasty meat bearing animals.
Now here's a little lesson for the guys out there that would feel safer if guns didn't exist.
1. To own a gun, here you have to pass a criminal background check, apply for a course, take a course which you have to pass with a high mark, apply for the permit to own one, go through a background check (that includes calling your ex girlfriends et et) and then receive your permit in the mail. This process can take over 5 months with no criminal background and no history of fights et. et.
2. To legally store or transport a gun, it must be...
Locked
Trigger locked
Stored separate from ammunition
Not visible
Have it's "action" disabled or locked
3. Most gun related deaths (at least in canada) are from weapons that are smuggled into the country from the USA. Many have never been registered.
Interesting in a country with as many guns as we have, less than 10% of all gun crime is committed with a registered gun, to listen to the anti-gun groups you'd think all these weapon owning people are timebombs waiting to go off.
Unfortunately, the facts don't seem to fit their arguments.Comment

ill show you what a lunatic is when i meet you girlie boy... with NO GUNS.. just my big cock down your nancy boy throat like you want.....So 25 million LUNATICS like you walking around with guns is in general more safe than a few criminals with a gun
Holy fucking shit
You are completely nuts. Totally completely nuts
You are the perfect example why guns shouldnt be legal. People like you should be kept away from guns are far as fucking possible.
Its insane to realize that someone like you gun just go to a store and buy a gun. Crazy, just crazy.
and YES 25 Mil of ME walking around.. someone who is trained in how to use a firearm would be a great thing if you ask me...Comment

gun crimes are commited by criminals using stolen or unregistered guns. Please research the 20 million dollars wasted by NYC on their balistic fingerprinting process which has turned up 0 arrests. I have a ccw permit and carry everywhere I can. Idiots looking to rob people think twice before doing it where anyone can legally carry a gun.

Frank, I've always suspected you were a little light in the head. And you're really doing a good job to convince me of the fact with statements like this.So 25 million LUNATICS like you walking around with guns is in general more safe than a few criminals with a gun
Holy fucking shit

You are the perfect example why guns shouldnt be legal. People like you should be kept away from guns are far as fucking possible.

Lets think this through. You're a criminal with a gun. You want someone's wallet, and want to use the gun to get it. Now, where would you rather ply your trade, in a place where 1 of every 2 people carry a weapon that could be pulled out and pointed at you, or somewhere you're assured no one will have a gun? So who's safer? A victim with the odds in their favor, or one that faces a robber that knows they can't defend themselves?
Regardless of your half thought out opinions, facts prove this correct time and time again. Stolen and otherwise illegal weapons kill vastly more people then legally registered weapons do.Last edited by Fluid; 02-14-2008, 01:50 PM.Comment

Exactly. Anyone who sits around saying that it's a danger to your family to have a gun in the house has little or no firearms education whatsoever, and are themselves the type of people who are dangerous to be left with a firearm. I shot my first gun when I was 4 and I've been shooting ever since, I was raised with a proper knowledge of firearms and what makes a responsible owner. some dumb cunt leaving a loaded glock in the drawer next to their bed IS NOT a responsible gun owner. That being said, a gun as a method of self defense isn't a smooth idea, there's better ways to protect your home. Like a good dog and proper security system.
Why do I have guns? TO KILL SHIT. End of story...Comment

That's not what he said at all.
And he's probably calling you light headed because, well... you certainly seem it.
Americans have a right to own guns so that we never have to worry about our country becoming a fascism, despotism, or tyranny. It's that simple. The citizens have guns, the citizens have ultimate authority. Whoever has lethal force has ultimate authority... and in a Republic, it's the citizen.
You think the Nazi's would have taken over the U.S. as easily as they rolled over continental Europe?
Do you think that anyone in the U.S. is seriously worried about a leader like Bush ever using the Military to overthrow constitutional government and serve as our Emperor for life?
Do you think anyone in the U.S. thinks that either could ever happen at any point in the next thousand years?
The answer - even to those that are able to put aside our fears for the moment and look at the past and into the future with open eyes - is no. And that reason is both because of the Second Amendment, and the entire reason that the right to bear arms is such a part of American culture.
So... on a long-term scale - which is more dangerous? A nation where the citizens have ultimate authority and can, if only symbolically, overthrow their government... or a nation of sheep - powerless in the wake of any government that claims jurisdiction over them?
You live in Holland, right? Why not go up to anyone over 75, and ask them what they think.Last edited by D; 02-14-2008, 02:33 PM.-D.

Fact: Franck is incapable of having a serious debate without tossing a namecalling hissy fit.
I'm not sure why.
As for the guns, this argument is pounded to death on here every six months or so, and after all the bitching is done I'm always left with the same thought.... that I am glad that I as a law-abiding citizen do have the right to own one.
The other fact that hovers over this thread is that no amount of "what if's" and "you're all fucking idiots" comments will change the situation in the US.

I think Frank brings up a good question. Is it safer to own a gun than not to own a gun? The statistics that show that if you own a gun you are more likely to shoot someone you know than to prevent an attack. The group in gang shootings since they consider that shooting someone you know, so it seems like you are accidentally shooting your kids instead of someone trying to kill you. Accidents happen. People do accidentally shoot people they know. They also accidentally kill people with their auto that they don't know. Our second Amendment in this country is to empower the people. It is not for hunting. I enjoy owning my gun. Will it save my life against a murderous intruder or attacker? Not sure. But I do like to give myself a sporting chance and not have my safety and families safety left to the whims of armed criminals. I like having the right to own. If I believe like Frank does, I can choose not to carry. I wouldn't want to force him to arm himself, and I wouldn't want anyone to force me to disarm.Comment

Such arguments only hold true in primal societies (such as, according to your chatter, the US) or deep down in tribal Africa. Man, learn to think about the American box some time...
"Americans have a right to own guns so that we never have to worry about our country becoming a fascism, despotism, or tyranny. It's that simple. "
You may want to consider that on the world stage, a considerable share of the world's people think of America the ultimate tyrant.Comment

Look, the reason that you feel the need to carry a gun to protect yourself and your loved ones is that (other than some deeply rooted Americanism) others do, and that somehow guns are widely available to criminals.
In the Netherlands, as Franck said a relatively safe country, most people won't ever see a gun in their whole life. I don't think it occurs to anyone other than a handful of untrustworthy figures that they would need a gun to protect themselves, or even that they need to protect themselves from something at all...Comment

I think Americans are stuck in the revolution mindset from hundreds of years ago, alot of them are backwards thinking people...someone said you need guns to protect you from the goverment, well fuck me if you havent stormed the white house and planted bush yet then that excuse is down the drain already. and to protect you from invasion?

If you think we've moved beyond being a "primal" species, I think you're fooling yourself.
Was Nazi Germany a primal society? What about Bolshevik Russia? How about Modern-Day China?

I wonder if thats why the germans agreed to give up their guns. Right before their own government sent the SS around to round up jews.
No government should be left unchecked. Generals carry serious influence over soldiers & their families. And generals are influenced directly by high ups in the govt.
Thus the only people left uncontrolled by the govt are general population. General population keeping guns, keeps the govt in check...period.Comment
