What's your opinion of gun control?

[btcjoin14]

Rates of accidental injury and death from firearms are lower than for swimming pools or cars since no one is seriously discussing banning either of these

Haven't gun related deaths passed car related deaths? Thought I saw something like that recently. And no one wants to ban cars. True. But rather regulate their use and production. Make sure they have seat belts, better brakes, airbags, etc. Deaths dropped a lot because of these since they were implemented.

There is good and bad things in this world. Simply as that. So guns are not good, I dont need to have opinion about it at all. And anyone who says guns are good have no brain, there is no logic to even talk about it. How someone mean to plant flowers of peace with guns in hands? Its the truth.

Tell you want, dude.  When you and I are in a plane that crashes in Alaska, and I have my 308 hunting rifle, my 22 rifle, and a handy handgun, you will get none of the food I kill.

Because "there are good and bad things in this world.  Simple as that.  So guns are not good.  I dont need to have opinion..."

I dont understand why you would bring your guns onto an airplane. you wouldnt even be allowed so once you get stuck in alaska you and the gun hater are on the same level.

You should probably be aware of FAA regulations, or simply talk to some Alaskan bush pilots (the ones most likely to be flying you in a survivable crash in a landing zone you'd need to hunt to survive in, pending rescue after EPIRB/comms/etc. failure) like Ariel Tweto, before you choose to believe disinformation like that.

Motor vehicle traffic deaths
    Number of deaths: 33,804
    Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.7

All firearm deaths
    Number of deaths: 33,636
    Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.6

Exclude the statistical malpractice for purposes of victim disarmament propaganda (inclusion of human rights of self-defense and self-determination under firearm deaths, as if human rights are a disease, an epidemic  ) and they're nowhere close.

i believe that if the wrong person doesnt have access to the guns, then all these horror stories wont come to life. the thing is though, that almost everyone has the right to a gun ownership in america. imo if they just make private owned guns illegal, everything would be solved.

Gun control freak "logic" in a nutshell.

War, poverty, starvation, crime, violence, rape, theft, insanity, drug abuse, organized crime, smuggling, kidnapping, totalitarianism, they would all be gone if we could just ban them damned guns!

Nobody cares who owns them. It's who's got them that counts, and the bullets. That's the cops and the military.

Because a lot of people go to Alaska to hunt.  Firearms must be stowed in baggage, unloaded, and the procedures are fairly easy.   

So no, me and the gun hater are not on the same level.

He's going to starve, and I am not going to starve.

Gun control will not stop violence because a violent person doesn’t need a gun to be violent.

So why not give them nukes? That would even stop the violence.

Nukes make even the violence more worse than the violence created by an violent person.

I think guns control is necessary. I watch on the news almost everyday that some frick from US shooted some people, and it's just scary.

That's your problem, you are consuming too much propaganda. As gun ownership rises crime has also been falling, but you wouldn't know that from television programming. They call it programming for a reason. The programming isn't the show, you are being programmed. Put down the controller and pick up a book.

Machiavelli.

This is a difficult question. I believe that the weapon may be only those who are mentally healthy. And it is necessary to find out through a lot of research. Consider the need mentality and lifestyle. People drink alcohol should not have a weapon, for obvious reasons, all.
There should be a favorable environment, social development and equality. For example look at Russia. Distribute guns to first counter, and they are someone will shoot each other, while others want a revolution and will kill the thieving officials and inquisitorial police.

People are people. The trick is telling which people are good and which are not. Those who want to take self-protection away from others are generally more openly bad. Why? Because they are preparing a group of unarmed people who they can enslave.

Guns are made for one purpose, and that purpose is to kill.
I believe that guns are not weapons, they are tools. How they are used is up to the person holding it.
Guns are especially dangerous in the hands of people who don't know how to use them (i.e., kids and teenagers) as well as those who are mentally ill and/or have a temper problem.
Gun control will not stop violence because a violent person doesn’t need a gun to be violent.
After the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, support for gun control increased dramatically.

Generally in America, the support for gun control has outweighed the support for gun rights.
Are gun control laws constitutional?
What would be your ideal set of laws regarding firearms?

i think that guns are just carried by law-enforcement officers.. because gun possesion can be abused by evil minded people.. they can easily kill their enemies without any hesitation..

In case you haven noticed, law enforcement is filled with evil-minded people. Wanna see that this is true? Google "police brutality."

Let us all be armed, because even good LE sticks with its own kind rather than defending unarmed, innocent people.

I see gun control as disarming the law obeying people (and keep the criminals armed, as they don't care about gun control), for eliminating the ability of citizens to resist/challenge the state/tyranny.

True for the entire world!

Because criminals always obey the law!!

There's nothing nice about the drug cartels operating on the Mexico/US border.  All of the Mexican border towns are terrorized by these criminals.  On the US side of the border, in virtually any town, virtually every house has a firearm of one sort or another.

I would hate to think of the domination, rape and rampage by the Mexican cartels that would happen on the US side if, like in Mexico, the average citizen was not allowed to possess firearms.

I think that it's really good law about gun control, people should not using any weapon ever. I am for peace in the world, it's so default but i hate war and other stuff that linked with war.

Guns keep the peace because people recognize how dangerous guns can be, and don't usually attempt to harm people who have guns.

The question is, How do you enforce gun control without using guns? Enforcing gun control with guns is simply the gun-group making slaves of the people they take the guns away from.

Gun-control is a self-contradictory idea that is used by those who want to make slaves of others.
