What's your opinion of gun control?

[bitperson]

Couldn’t we have homicide control instead of gun control? I mean, let’s make it a crime to kill someone (without legal justification). We could name that crime ‘murder’ and then no law abiding person would kill anyone anymore.

Actions of armed citizen saved mother, daughter (VIDEO)

APD spokesman Officer Simon Drobik told reporters the hero, a 12-year veteran of the National Guard, took action when he saw the pair being attacked Sunday night.

According to police, the incident unfolded Sunday night after the woman's estranged husband crashed his car into their vehicle, got out and fired into their car, which struck the daughter. He then pulled his wife from the car and started beating her.

But then the good Samaritan sprang to action, drawing the attention of the husband, who turned his gun on the Samaritan. That's when the armed citizen opened fire, killing the man.

"She said, 'He saved our lives,'" Drobik said. "I mean, that's how much she was in fear of getting killed by this guy."

The Samaritan is not facing charges. The district attorney is reviewing the case.

My opinion to gun control is  to help the securty of one country. only the the low enforcement have right to hold gun unless you have a good reason to have gun or buy gun for protection. not only like toy you buy and no need document.

My opinion to gun control is  to help the securty of one country. only the the low enforcement have right to hold gun unless you have a good reason to have gun or buy gun for protection. not only like toy you buy and no need document.

How are these documents to be stored and used?

Do you suppose that at the local level there might be only a few degrees of seperation between some worker in county courthouse and a set of local meth-heads, and that information about who has guns and who does not might make it out and around?  I can pretty much promise that that would be the case where I live.

Or should the information be considered 'high security' and only available to those at the highest levels of government?  If so, for what reason might the information be used?  In what circumstances would the information be useful, and to whom?

Perhaps it should be shared with large social media organizations (Twitter, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc) and the task of coorelating risky individuals should be outsourced to those who already have other data on individuals (known in the industry as 'PII')?  Or perhaps the government should be able to tap into the data collected by these large multi-national corporations in order to run the algorithms?  Which way would you like to see it go?

What good is law enforcement gun control if they don't use it? Any parent with a gun could have helped stop the massacre.

"Shocked And Outraged": Four Broward Deputies Waited Outside School As...

Coral Springs police officers were "stunned and upset" to learn that four Broward County Sheriff's Deputies were stationed outside the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and had not entered to face an active shooter, sources with the Coral Springs, FL police department told CNN.

As the details behind the Police response to the Valentines Day massacre emerge, it appears that the Coral Springs Police department - which sent 130 officers to the scene - put their lives on the line while Broward County officers simply waited for backup as the scene unfolded, in what some Coral Springs officials perceived to be a derilection of duty.

Some Coral Springs police were stunned and upset that the four original Broward County Sheriff's deputies who were first on the scene did not appear to join them as they entered the school, Coral Springs sources tell CNN. It's unclear whether the shooter was still in the building when they arrived.

The four Broward Sheriff's deputies, including fired High School Resource Officer Scot Peterson, had their pistols drawn from behind the safety of their vehicles, and "not one of them had gone into the school," according to shocked Coral Springs police

I do not really see a reason for keeping guns, unless there are lot of crimes happening and people are keeping it for their safety. To keep it just as a hobby or interests, seems ridiculous. It is not a toy.

Gun control is absolutely necessary.history show that gun create  alot of damage and violence everywhere  not to mention  accidentally miss handling .so you are  right! there no reason for keeping guns..

[0k0l0g]

I believe gun laws are a massive breach of many fundamental rights. Surely there must be a weighing of rights and interests. The private interest in holding guns vs. the collective/community interest in regulating it to address the huge misuse of guns. The rest of the world is shocked by US gun laws and the discourse around it. Private individuals should not be able to purchase guns, with very few exceptions.

Gun control is NOT necessary for Government to make slaves of the people. It's simply easier that way.

Gun control or Gun safety is in the hands of the owner. You need self discipline, focus/presence of mind, knowledge on how to handle a gun.  Because ones you owned a gun means you are handling great responsibility.

It is great responsibility and the gun owners must make sure that they are taking adequate precautions to keep the fire-arms away from the children and potential intruders. Also, people with unstable mind or criminal history should never be allowed to own guns.

 That if u use gun and use it perfectly every time, only one miss can cause severe damage.

[mini max]

good control of your gun is an important skill to learn.

[glongsword]

in the initial period, as now with traumatic weapons will be a drunken fire in the cafeteria, the children will take a weapon to school, etc.; before the citizens realize that the gun needs to always be put in a safe Deposit box if you're weapons can't drink, etc.

[DimensionsOfHell]

if the majority of the population has guns on their hands, it will not be difficult for bandits and other marginal politicians to take these guns away from the civilian population. Absolutely!

[afroman1131]

Absolutely and categorically against. With our level of extremism and total poverty, this idea sounds absurd.At least at this stage of society's development

[Blackmet]

Gun control is good and right decision. When you know that big percent of psychopaths not walking with guns feeling calm

[MNMLs]

its an interesting question. firstly, if we check the criminal presentage in the countries, where it is allowed, we can find the falling of criminality. so should we allow it, secondly, i think that the person, who is trying to get a gun, should be checked very strictly and should pass some medical tests. also the very important thing is the culture among the people around us. we may make it worse by allowing guns. the gun control should always exist. we should know the purpose of its purchase otherwise we may face bigger problems

[BADecker]

The criminal element is situated in Government. Why? Because Government has a bit of an excuse to exist. So that's where the shrewd criminals go. Then they call for gun control so that they can take over the populace easier.

Gun control by government is the way to slavery for the people.

It is very rare indeed that a nation was formed by people who didn't trust their own class and who planned for a failure mode which was not in their interest.  I'm sure they did realize that an armed population would simply created a hurdle for tyrants and thus hold off the inevitable for that much longer.

As an American I'm 'shocked' that people around the world cannot even state how they feel about certain political issues, and that so many true scum have risen to the top.  Hitler, Stalin, Musselini, Queen Elizibeth, Mao, Pot, etc, etc.  Our founding documents, including our 2nd ammendment, probably does have a good deal to do with our good fortunes over the years.  Hopefully enough Americans recognize this and remain 'bitter clingers' in the face of a full court press targetting a lot of our key rights and start holding accountable those people who are trying everything possible to take them away.

'Any parent with a gun could have helped stop the massacre', are you implying that Parents should be having guns on them when they visit their children's schools. Imagine the chaos it will bring in  a school environment. Parents would be killing each other if such a situation arises.

Gun control is necessary with the increasing deterioration of the mental health of the society. IF REQUIRED, Guns should not be allowed except the sanctity of the owners home. There is absolutely no requirement to carry a gun in public. We are a country where a prescription is required for life saving medicines but a gun can be licensed and bought without any control. think about it.
