I still think the only GOOD GUN CONTROL (and drug control and a myriad of other society ills) is better education and better spending to create an environment that makes people mentally, morally and emotionally stronger instead of making them afraid. I also lived in Boulder, CO and vehemently hate the the smell of Patchouli. Go figure. |

Besides, if I were a criminal and I wanted to fuck with him, I'd still do it. I'd just make sure to shoot him in the face first (I would be able to easily get a gun, if they weren't banned), before he even had the chance to know I was planning on fucking with him - just to make sure he wouldn't pull out some weapon while I was stealing his shit. For some interesting stats, look up the homicide numbers for the Netherlands vs the US. Your guns sure don't provide a lot of safety :1orglaugh |
Well, to be honest, I like my guns and I believe in my right to keep them. I'm not going to shoot anybody in the face with my .40, anyway.

So what happens when this happens to your woman when you are not around? mine packs a Beretta in her glove box and she has her own 12 guage Mossberg pump for the house (she had both of these before she met me) lol so if she breaks down somewhere and some thugs come around they will have quite a surprize |

It's not the 85% of responsible gun owners that's the problem, it's that every once in awhile a irresponsible, stupid, ignorant, criminal ass gets his/her hands on one. And for that reason alone they should be banned. Every day some crazy shit happens in the US because everyone and their sister is packing. In Canada we don't have that problem because almost NO ONE is packing, except the cops. (Then again, that's a scary thought initself) |

It's that paranoid, delusional belief you have that has led to Bush being back in the White House. You are being brainwashed by the NRA and gun manufacturers to believe you need a gun, but in 90% of America being robbed at gunpoint or having your home broken into is unlikely, at best. It's not the people that register guns, it's how those same guns get into the hands of criminals that is the problem. Ask yourself: How do you think criminals get guns? They get them one way or another from legit people who registered. Wake up, get your head out of the sand and come back to earth. A gun ban would NOT lead to anarchy. It's all in your imagination fueled by big business gun manufacturers and the pathetic politicians they bankroll. |

Guns are all good till you or some family member be the outcome of something that possible could have been prevented through gun control. In such case you'll start examining the other side.
I can accept the gun possession as an issue of human rights and liberties, but at the same time having in mind that every punkass idiot can harm me with no reason within a second scares me and puts me in further thoughts. My paranoia regarding the protection of my family and myself can turn me to the punkass idiot i'm afraid with the difference the victim this time would be someone else. |
Baddog, please stop it. I respect everybody's opinion here and im happy to discuss it but youre making a total fool of yourself. Leave this thread dude, your replies are a total waste of cyberspace.
Youre a fucking idiot, pro gun or not has nothing to do with it. I knew this before but im telling you again, you act like a retard trying to say something in a discussion but too stupid to understand whats going on. I know its not your fault, people get born that way but thats why im telling you know, stfu , get an iq test and go hang with people with your brain capacity. Try another thread. Plenty of other idiots around here. |
Hey Smutpeddler, what it all boils down to is that per 1000 or per million people you guys have way more gun deaths than we do, WAY more. Thats my whole point, thats why guns are bad.
I dont care how, murder, accident, whatever, more people get killed by guns in the US than a non gun country. Thats the whole point isnt it? Now i cant wait to see how youre gonna defend yourself from this :) And baddog, fuck off, although its not an Einstein subject, its way above your brain level so please dont reply to my posts anymore. |

There's a reason why almost every police department in the world advices people to cooperate with robbers/muggers, and it's not the safety of the robbers :2 cents: |
Quote:
I think if you take 1000 random robberies in the US, more people get killed than 1000 robberies in Holland for instance, why, because both parties carry guns. So in the end guns once again are killing more people. Its less safe in a place where you and the robber have a gun than in a place where neither one has one. |

i think gun control is good cause not everybody should have one!!!
And i'm in Panama!!! :thumbsup :thumbsup :ak47: :ak47: :ak47: |

Fucking idiots pulled a gun blah blah SO I PULLED MINE AS WELL. There is something so wrong in that part of the world and they just refuse to see it. |

I think that rationally, many of them understand that guns cause deaths (duh), but they don't want to give up their power because they're scared of the government, their neighbours, black people, muslims, etc. |

Guns Don't Kill, People do:
"?What makes gun control so compelling for many is the belief that violent crime is driven by the availability of guns, and more importantly, that criminal violence in general may be reduced by limiting access to firearms,? says Gary Mauser, author of the paper and professor of business at Simon Fraser University. " -- (source) Perhaps, by ratio per capita, America has more fucked up people than other countries. I'm willing to believe that as I see them every day driving to and from work. Stats, stats and more stats: Those who claim the US is much, much worse than "some other" countries have your stats skewed. Basically, if you compare only firearm homicide and suicide data alone (and against a biased selection of other countries), the US will rank high. However, take into account TOTAL homicide and suicide rates, even against those selective countries and the US rates much better. (source) People are knocking themselves and others off regardless of gun availability. Don't kid yourself with this false argument in this thread. I think the whole gun-control this, gun-control that argument is pointless. "...the risk of death in the US due to homicide, suicide and gun accidents is not significantly higher than in the rest of the world". Ever see the movie Soylent Green? "It's people!". "It's people!". You're goddamn right it's people that's the issue. |

You only took GUN RELATED stats. And yes, by those stats alone the US ranks high. Take ALL homicide and suicide numbers and the US ranks much differently, and even lower than than those you listed. That's all I'm trying to say man.... it's not the guns, it's the FUCKING PEOPLE. |
Every hour in America, four people are killed by firearms. (Centers for Disease Control)
A gun in your home makes it three times more likely that you or someone you care about will be murdered by a family member or intimate partner (Kellerman,New England Journal of Medicine v329, n.15 1993) Gun violence is the second-leading cause of injury-related fatalities in the US after car accidents. In Alaska, Maryland and Nevada as well as D.C., firearm death rates in 1998 exceeded those for car accidents. (CDC & Natnl. Vital Statistics Report, 1999) One million Americans have died in firearm homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings since 1962. (Fatal Firearm Injuries in the United States 1962-1994. Violence Surveillance Summary Series, No. 3, 1997; Deaths: Final Data for 1995- 1997, National Vital Statistics Report) |

In 1998-99, states and territories expelled 3,523 students from bringing a firearm to school.

The Self-Defense Myth:
In 1997, for every time that a civilian used a handgun to kill in self-defense, 43 people lost their lives in handgun homicides. (FBI Supplementary Homicide Report data, 1997) |
