Gun control, whats your opinion

[Shoehorn!]

I am glad that I can own a gun. What do you think about it, and what country are you from?

Definite sig spot.

Gun control is a great thing. If you can not control your firearm, how do you ever expect to hit the target.

I'm from Canada. I think you guys problem with guns is that you buy guns for protection, not for sport. here in canada there are tons of people who go hunting, etc just like in the states. But we dont sleep with a gun under our pillow... its scarey how scared you guys are of your neighbors.

Can't own a gun here, sucks that our government dont trust the public with the right to own arms, but then, with this being England - i cant blame them

First thing a tolitarian regime looking for changes does is ban firearms...

I think gun control is a good thing.

I'm not scared of my neighbor. What the hell are you talking about?

The only place I would actually be scared of is a very high gang activity area for reasons that are pretty obvious.

I'm from Colorado. It took less than 20 minutes to go through a background check and guy a gun. However, the nearest range is like 2 hours away. Totally retarded.

And in regard to guns and gun violence: 1. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. If it were any different, it'd be like blaming religion for those who murder in the name of god. Unfortunately, there are too many stupid / bad / ignorant / etc people, so there has to be some sore of better control on who can get guns and who can't. What that control is / entails, I have no clue.

I'm all for gun ownership... but not AKs and AR-15s. I mean, who's kidding who?

Bowling for Columbine is a bunch of BS. Its an interesting watch but he just shows what he wants to show as every other movie. Everyone should have the right to own a firearm for protection or sport. Won't stop violence....the majority of violent acts are with unregistered guns so whats the point? And the whole thing about that movie is does he show any statistics about race and violence? Please tell me how many if the minoritites were involved these gun murder cases. Not being racisist at all but if you born in a poor neighborhood and you have something that looks enticing you will take it and alot of the poorer neighborhoods consist of the minorites. Also how many illegal immigrants enter canada and others of that nature that come to canada for a better life...I could be wrong but I would think not as many as in the US.

In the words of the president of the NRA, Charlton Heston

"There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a good man is no threat to anyone, except bad people.?

Bowling for Columbine, as with all Michael Moore movies, is propoganda bullshit that he uses to help fulfill his own agenda, fuck that bitch.

I view gun ownership as a HUMAN RIGHTS issue...


unless the government is going to issue myself and my family a personal 24/7 security gaurd that is armed...


not like I live in the hood, BUT, if If IF someone ever came banging on my door in some psychotic state wanting to physically injure or kill myself or my family you BET YOUR ASS I don't want to have to wait 20 minutes for the cops to show up to see / chance it that the freak couldn't get in and do what he/she wanted to....esp if THEY are armed...

criminals usually don't give a shit about laws and will be armed anyways...





I look at these as basic human necessities:

1) to feed myself & family (may require a gun)
2) to shelter myself & family
3) to clothe myself and family
4) to PROTECT myself and family (may require a gun)




doesn't get much more basic than that...




as long as violence is part of human nature then the ability to protect oneself is a necessary evil :/
