What's your opinion of gun control?

[Tyrantt]

I do against weapons and their use. Humanity needs to take care of to exist peacefully. I have no weapons, and I had never shall get

you might want to reconsider that. Owning a gun or any kind of protection can serve you quite well in some situations. If a burglar breaks into your home and has a gun and he didn't notice you, wouldn't you like to have a gun too? Never bring a knife to a gun fight.

A knife is better than nothing, when you run out of ammo.

absolutely, but I doubt that you will end up in a shoot out with a burglar. Also, that depends on the law and law here in Serbia is pretty stupid, if a burglar breaks into your house and attacks you, you much defent yourself with the same force or less, so if he comes at you with a knife, you can't shoot him, otherwise you'll end up in jail. There's one case now going on where a man shot a burglar in his home while protecting his wife and a 2yr old daughter, and now his on trial for a homicide.

Will they take you to trial if you are dead?

I was thinking that at least in Eastern Europe, they have some commonsense. But if someone can be prosecuted for shooting a burglar, that shows that political correctness has spread to the Eastern Europe as well.

Guys as we all know is a dangerous weapon and this what the government has control power over like in my country every has the right to punches gun for as long you are above the age of 18 but in my own opinion guns should be punches by men only who are above 45 years of age only cause these class of age can use it in a reasonable way

That's really okay, you know. After all, you are going to die anyway. Might as well be sooner rather than later... 'cause you don't have any weapons to protect yourself. And once you are dead, you won't hear your family cursing you for not getting some weapons to protect THEM. So, go ahead. Remain unarmed.

I like your words. We do need protection because there are too many bad guys with guns around. Although I'm not sure that everyone should have a gun. Some people just can't hold it you know. But of course I'm grateful to the people who can protect others from the bad guys with guns.

I am a European.  I cannot understand why Americans want to have so many people owning guns.

The biggest massacre involving guns happened in Europe. It occurred in a country, which is having one of the toughest gun control laws (Norway) in the world. A lunatic called Anders Behring Breivik was single-handedly able to mow down a total of 77 people, and the policemen present at the scene could not do anything, as they were not armed.

Ok the biggest might have been in Europe, but the frequency and total number killed is much higher in the US than all of Europe combined.

It wasn't that the police present couldn't do anything, he had set off a bomb in the capital city to throw the police off, then he attacked the children on an island that couldn't be quickly reached.
The guy was/is a lunatic and it is dreadful that he managed to get a weapon.  I would prefer that he wasn't able to get a gun, instead of giving lots of people guns to shoot each other in this kind of case (I doubt it would have made a difference as it was a Political Youth camp he attacked, probably not somewhere where people would be armed anyway)

I'm also European and I think the same as you. I can't understand why Americans are so against gun control. I think most people on this planet are stupid. You could give guns to monkeys with the same effect. Sorry but this is my opinion. I'm not the smartest person in the world and don't think I am better than other people. We have everything to create here on Earth heaven for everybody, but look around you, watch news, read some history books, and tell me honestly that most of the people aren't stupid.

Gun control is a term that can mean lots of things. Americans like the idea of gun control. The thing they don't like is being forced into it.

You haven't figured out, yet, have you, that it is because of American and Swiss gun freedom that the world remains as free as it is. That's why you can have peace in your country, even though there might not be any guns at all... because of American and Swiss gun freedom.

Guys as we all know is a dangerous weapon and this what the government has control power over like in my country every has the right to punches gun for as long you are above the age of 18 but in my own opinion guns should be punches by men only who are above 45 years of age only cause these class of age can use it in a reasonable way

What sort of insane logic is this? I agree banning the ownership of guns by minors. But minors, mean anyone under the age of 18. Anyone above that age should have the right of gun ownership.

In many countries, for example in America the age of majority is 21 years. As for weapons it is different, too. The gun in many countries it is forbidden to have and not because it's a terrible weapon, but because it can be worn discreetly.

Just like a knife, are you a supporter of banning all deadly weapons? Have you seen what a skilled person can do with throwing knives, or with a katana sword?
PCP air rifles are allowed without any licence and you can buy them online, but they are deadly. Take a look at this penetration test of one of the most powerful PCP guns on the market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KjK74vicBA These bullets could go through human skull with ease and there are videos of people hunting boars with them.
What about bows? You don't need a permit to have one, they are silent, can be folded to fit a suitcase or a backpack and have enough force to pin a person to a wall.

Who forbids others to have guns? If they do it with guns, then guns are not forbidden.

21 years is OK with me. But I am definitely not going to support rising the age to 45 years. It just lacks any logic. How are you going to argue that those under 45 years does not have any right to defend themselves?

45 years is of course nonsense! Gun legislation is all nonsense. Only in America is a good law and it are constant attacks. You have in Russia, for example, rifles can only be purchased after 25 years and the gun in General can not be. It's not nonsense?

I am also an opponent to 45 years of age for the right to purchase arms. I do not understand why someone could decide for me if I can defend my life or do I need to meekly die. It is not correct.

[Cusdonard]

I say yes to guns! Let's shoot everybody who is against our opinions shall we? Kidding. I am against every single people to have guns. It causes to much drama and deaths. Why not let's all love each other and stop killing each other.

Unfortunately this is not possible. All the people on earth are different and there is always a reason for discontent and indignation. Crimes can be prevented only by the inevitability of punishment. The weapon in this helps. Maybe because with him and trying to fight?

[razoor]

I don't think solutions is to ban the guns. It won't prevent people from killing each other. It can do only education and deep understanding of this world and conciousness itself.
So I would let it be although I'm not going to join the fight for it.

Have Gun -- Will Travel: How to Fly With Your Firearm

The Vanguard was basically 36 hours of man skills — we learned how to humanely slaughter rabbits and chickens, land navigation, and even some self-defense techniques from Tim Kennedy. It was awesome. I'll be doing a full write-up on it soon, so stay tuned for that.

One segment of the event was a firearms class, and we needed to bring our own pistol and ammo to participate in it. Because I was flying, I would have to pack my gun for the trip. Having endured, along with my fellow Americans, thirteen years of taking off our shoes, putting our tiny toiletries in see-through baggies, and getting patted down by TSA agents, I figured flying with an actual, honest-to-goodness weapon would be a nightmare fraught with all sorts of bureaucratic, red tape rigmarole.

As it turned out, except for a small mishap, flying with a gun is surprisingly easy. Today I'll share my experience and what I learned from it, in case any of you find yourself needing to travel with firearms and ammunition.

You say so only because you have not yet been touched by the crime. When you are robbing and you will have nothing to fight back, then you probably change your mind., but it's too late. Even if the gun you will need 1 once in a lifetime, it is necessary to carry the whole life.

I love guns. In my country there is no right to arms but I have it. I would not hesitate to use him against the bandits if my life would be in danger. But I am a normal person and if I were a bandit? So the prohibition of weapons not an option.
