What's your opinion of gun control?

[Butoeskor]

the control of weapons would be important to improve the health of society, society is quite sick. Examples are as Columbine, uneducated teens or control, kill without mercy. American gun culture has failed as their neoliberal politics based on fear. In my view, a resounding no to arms.

Your argument is that guns CAUSE mental illness? Removing guns is in no way going to improve anyone's mental health. Perhaps you should start trying to form a complete sentence before you attempt to form a complete thought and tell others how righteous you think it is.

Gun control?

You should use 2 hands.

LOL.....

very true.

Gun control is kind of messed.  People push for better gun control laws.  Instead they make it harder for the average law abiding citizen to buy or own one.  While all a criminal has to do is head to a local seller (not a gun shop) and purchase whatever they like.  Its more common then you think.
There are also the ones who decide to make their own firearm.  Pretty easy as well.  Iv done it. and It doesn't take much.  Just the balls to fire it.

In Pennsylvania and I am sure its like this in other parts of the country.  A firearm isnt considered a firearm without a receiver.  Anyone can purchase gun parts without even an ID in most cases.  You can order a 80% complete receiver for say an AR-15.  You can finish it at home on a mill, or even with a hand drill in most cases.  funny thing is it legal.  The only thing is you can never sell it.  As there is no serials or anything associated with the firearm.  But fully legal to own and fire.  Just illegal to sell.  I have done this twice.  All parts are shipped directly to the house.  No signature required. Build away and your have yourself a fully functional AR-15.

Interesting huh.  But to take away from the ones who need or want one for protection.  Shouldn't be.  Find a way to get them off the street and they would be heading in the right direction.  Which they wont be able to do anyways.  Like the war on drugs.  They are losing and will always continue to.  Risk vs reward sometimes is high.  People will never stop.

One gun in each hand.       It is difficult to control more than one gun in each hand.

IMHO Gun bans only take guns out of the hands of those law-abiding citizens who decide to comply with them.

This is totally true.  And most gun owners I know wont give emm up even if they were suppose to.

I loved how all the idiots in NY City stood in lines to turn in there guns.  Like I said Idiots.

Gun control is fun control. You control your guns when you are out shooting, and you can have lots of fun.

 

[Blawpaw]

Well, I'm an Utopian.

I believe that the best control for gun control is no gun at all. Only militaries should be allowed to use firearms... and if we didn't had the need to make war it would be even better.

A world without guns is a better world.

In a utopia no one would have guns, because no one would want to kill and the military shouldn't exist.

In an utopia, there should exist the widest range, variety and distribution of guns. Why? Because nobody would ever harm anyone else with the guns, and guns are great sport. Besides, target practice improves hand/eye coordination, so that people have better use of their faculties for every other purpose. In addition, scientific understanding of the processes that occur with gun usage can be found almost nowhere else; I mean, you wouldn't want to get rid of the game of pool/billiards, would you?

No guns.   lol we would just find other way to kill people and people would complain about it.

And no military should be the only one to have gun.  Our constitution allows us to have gun for protection.   Not from each other but to defend ourselves against our own government.

Gun control is being able to hit what you shoot at.    lol

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?

Cat's out of the bag, tightening existing gun control laws on ordinary law abiding citizens without first addressing proliferation of illegal firearms is ridiculous.

killing is not a choice.. But protecting is a must.. For our own safety, its good for us.. But, for other thing, especially bad thing, its must be slow down..

Right on. But the method for protecting, and who we are going to protect against, is the real question.

It seems that some of law enforcement, and some of the military, if you look at the record, are the ones that we need protecting from. Who is going to offer such protection? The government isn't, because it is the one that is direction law enforcement and the military to harm us. Until we find the one who will protect us, we need to protect ourselves. And the only way to do this effectively is to fight fire with fire, fight guns with guns.

Forget gun control, we need bullet control.

Love that avatar. Great for depicting the confidence we need for putting down criminals in government.

Exactly.  Gun control is hitting what you aim at.

All these peasants, speaking from the perspective of their multi-generational status as chattel property of a Sovereign, have been effectively bred for domesticated subservience.  Accordingly, they have as much use for the tools of self-defense (and tyranny resistance) as a typical factory-farmed chicken, pig, or sheep.

When they use code words like "gun control" it's really their dog whistle announcing 'let's all talk about there is no RKBA, regardless of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.'

The Supreme Court held that the second amendment right recognized in Heller is fully applicable to the states through the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment. In so holding, the Court reiterated that “the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense;” that “individual self-defense is ‘the central component’ of the Second Amendment right;” and that “self-defense is a basic right, recognized by many legal systems from ancient times to the present day.”

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

[acroman08]

Gun control is an effective law if its obeyed, but as you can see its not working very well
there are still a lot of people owning guns with out license because they can buy it
anywhere.

[blablahblah]

Aaand the hypocritical gun nuts are still at it....

Law abiding citizens [waa waa waa ]

But why are guns even remotely relevant to your emotional well-being?

It's not emotion. It's practicality. It's to protect ourselves from government, abuses of power, and the law.

But you just said you're "LAW ABIDING" and now you're pissing on that "law" in the same fucking breath. Seriously, WTF dude?

Dincha hear me? We abide by it but we do not trust it or the people who run it. Government is a different breed of people. Ever heard of the Greys? It's the same with criminals. Criminals break the laws, which makes them extremely dangerous and unstoppable, except with guns in private hands of course, but us responsible gun owners abide by the law and that's what makes us responsible. You can totally trust us because we're law ABIDING, but we're not forcing you to trust anybody, because we're totally in favour of you just getting your own gun too. Heh.. I should work in sales!

Err...

And next week Ima gettin' ma 7 year old daughter a scaled-down AK47 made with lightweight titanium, and a gift-wrapped box of 1000 rounds.

Isn't that a kinda excessive?

Tell me about it. Them niche rounds cost almost as much as the gun. She's gonna be one lucky tyke! [Hic]

In the United States, especially in the Southern states, it is very easy to purchase an illegel fire-arm, partly due to the presence of various Mexican gangs. In the Europe, the situation is somewhat better. But during the past five years, an increase in the circulation of illegal guns have been reported from many of the countries, including the United Kingdom, France, and Italy.
