What's your opinion of gun control?

[BADecker]

Weapons arent produced in an mexican backyard and most terrorist who do mass shootings end up dead by suicide or with the help of the police.

Please get real.

@Tvcbof

Jews are no saints but they arent the devil either.

But guns can be made by anybody who is a bit of a 'smith... even in Mexico.

Most terrorists can't legally be shot by victims at the soft targets they choose ("gun-free zones"), so they have to kill themselves or get the police to do it.

I am against gun control 100%. I think those for gun control are missing the real reason behind crimes with a weapon. And that reason is criminals don’t care about laws. You can make all the laws you want and there will still be crime. Proof of this is countries that ban civilians from possessing a firearm and yet people are still being killed by firearms. Japan for example has very restrictive firearm laws yet criminals there still kill people and rob people with firearms.

The only way to reduce crime is to scare the bejesus out of criminals. Not be all sweet on them. They steal a car they get beat with the caning punishment used in other countries. This is a very painful punishment and imprints their mind that stealing results in extreme pain. Public executions such as hanging should be used and televised.
We need to enforce the laws we have. Its illegal to kill, rob, assault others, etc do those laws prevent that? No. So how is banning weapons going to stop that?
Banning firearms or restricting firearms only disarms the law biding and make them easy prey for criminals.
Example; why do some drunk drivers have over a dozen convictions? Did the law against driving drunk stop them? No! But I would bet you $100 that if you beat the hell out of them with a wooden cane after the 2nd conviction you wouldn’t see as many repeat drunk drivers! And if you executed a drunk driver for killing some one I know they wont be a repeat offender.

So lets get tough on the criminals and help not hinder the public to defend themselves.

Hm maybe pakistan isnt that bad for a vacation afterall
Jokes aside they didnt manufactured weapons there. They are pretty much just renewing ww2 and cold war stuff that was left in afghanistan or somewhere else.

Please give us numbers so we can see for ourselfs and dont need to trust you blindly.

I.e.:

Criminality generally is much lower in Japan for whatever reason.  For this reason it is particularly poor comparison.  Some of the ethnic nationalist types like ramzpaul will claim that ethnic homogeneity is largely responsible the phenomenon.

Japan does seem to lead the U.S. by basically infinity in sarin gas attacks on subways.  When someone is genuinely interested in terrorism we are lucky that guns are an option for them compared to a lot of other methods.  The fact of the matter seems to be that nearly every 'terrorist' act almost anywhere is actually a false flag which allows TPTB to accomplish some project they want to do, or (luckily for us here in the U.S.) a bogus hoax made possible by a consolidated, compliant, and complicit corporate media.

Most armed citizens fare worse than their police counterparts. In an independent study commissioned by the National Gun Victims Action Council, researchers put 77 participants with varying levels of firearms training through three realistic self-defense scenarios. In the first, seven of the participants shot an innocent bystander. Almost all of the participants in the first and second scenarios who engaged the “bad guy” were killed. And in the final scenario, 23% of the participants fired at a suspect who didn’t actually pose a threat.

Overwhelming empirical evidence corroborates the simulation. Of the 160 active shooting incidents identified by the FBI from 2000 to 2013, only one was stopped by an armed civilian. In comparison, two were stopped by off-duty police, four by armed guards and 21 by unarmed civilians.

[BADecker]

^^^^^ The major point that this study shows is that society has not been using their right to freely arm and carry guns in public.

Get rid of cops (who are just people, btw) and train everyone to do the job. When this happens, all people will respect the property of other people, and will get permission to even walk up to the door of their neighbor's house. Bad guys will be a thing of the past.

Some of the safest places in the USA are residences where cops fear to go... usually black or hispanic residences. Guns are carried freely, there, and neighborhoods protect themselves and each other.

In the southern areas of Mexico, where the drug cartels thrive, the residences are protected by the cartels, and there is freedom.

Let the people of good old USA be their own cops. It will take time for them to get used to respecting each other again, but they will, and there will be peace.

An armed civilian breaking the self-defense-infringing law & bringing their gun into a "gun free zone", which violent criminals know is the only place safe for their active shooting incidents.

That is the reason. Most of the mass shootings occur in the gun free zones, where the civilians are not permitted to carry their legally obtained firearms. In these places, the criminals are having the upper hand.

[matuson]

It seems to me that those who make the rules that the area is a gun free zone should be responsible that there had not infiltrated by criminals. If there is no such responsibility and of a zone free from weapons should not be.

[HOT_HEAD]

People should be allowed to own a gun, but they should also be obligated to go through a tough program to see if they are fit to do so. Mental tests and trip to the psychiatrist for a certain period of time before it is determined whether or not the person would know when and how to use a gun.

There are a lot of cases where underage people have easy access to the firearms or where a person obviously got a gun to commit a crime, but didn't go through with it or failed in the process. For this, I recommend the same thing for any other crime at the similar level. Death penalty. Clean this world of people who cannot live in the society and then you won't have to worry about guns.

Guns are not the problem. No man-made object is the problem, but only the ones who use it in the wrong ways are. Get rid of bad people, get rid of gun problems.

Eugenics is the only way.

You navigate to particular cases, but it happens very rarely. The police and military always have access to weapons, but in connection with great nervous stress they have frequent nervous breakdowns. You propose to deprive them of the right to arms? No it will not help.

[oegarod]

Gun control is a must, because it has took the lives of lot many common people who are not into any bad deeds. The phycological impact on certain people make big loss of human lives which is just because of the gun usage. When one holds a gun he gets additional strength. This needs to be eradicated.

'Gun free zones' are a more safe place to stage phony 'psychological operation' events, but one still has to hope that some armed citizen who is not in on the fraud is not breaking the rules and packing in spite of the 'gun free zone' signs.  And if they are, that they won't take any action.

The other problem is video footage.  The hoaxes are picked apart by citizen analysts right away.  To the degree possible the stages are controlled to limit this problem.  Notice that at Roseberg the authorities formed exit queues and confiscated the electronics gear from anyone who had been in the general area.  In a setting like a college campus is more practical to control information exchange.

Eugenics is one way (and a harsh approach)...but with eugenics comes other problems.  Like can someone use this in order to target innocent people that can be decided to be guilty (framed) and given the death penalty?  Any government corruption in this process makes it break.

The root issue is what is causing the mental illness that leads to a violent outburst.  Our society doesn't have a good solution for people in this situation, who have had terrible childhoods, and terrible support systems, parents or guardians that may have neglected their children and stunted their development.  Our society ignores people like this, and doesn't dedicate the resources to care about troubled people enough to help them navigate through their personal issues.  We tend to only give attention to these folks once the crime has been committed, but not before then.

With or without gun control, there will always be a black market for guns.  So we should understand that anyone that wants access to a gun, with a few hundred bucks can get one.  That's the sad truth.  So any policy the government comes up with, will apply to those that go through the legal process to understand gun safety.

The phycological impact on certain people make big loss of human lives which is just because of the gun usage. When one holds a gun he gets additional strength. This needs to be eradicated.

I think you forget another reason why people hold a gun, and why they can kill people, it is because they are protecting their  family or themselves. Most people own a gun to add a power, but that power is not only to scare other people off, but to tell them that they have power of their own to protect themselves and their family.

I do not even know how to respond or react to the question of legalizing weapons for the population. What can I say, even in even more developed countries, even the police are working at the highest level and citizens feel more secure, following the example of the United States of America, even their citizens have a permit for weapons. Of course, the US has developed with weapons in the hands of the very education of this country, But today the civilized world and yet the weapons are among the citizens of the United States. So, it's time to talk about those countries where people really need protection from robberies and robbery by criminals and when the police are not able to resist crime, and in some cases she herself participates in such actions.

Concealed carry in Arizona and a few other States needs no license. Crooks are aware of this, and are fearful of everyone enough to stop their criminal activities... because they don't know who is conceal carrying.

Because of this little feature alone, few people have to pack at all. Because it's roulette for the crook if he guesses wrong about his intended victim.

In those countries you are talking about there is no democracy or limited democracy. The government is afraid of armed citizens, and therefore will never be allowed to own a gun. For them human life has no meaning and therefore the robbers have the advantage.

It's not a gun or no gun thing, it's entirely dependent on culture. In most traditional western style european and european descendant countries, crime as a whole is low amongst those ethnic groups. The problem is either rooted in poverty or in increased crime by minorities.

See: Switzerland, Idaho, Wyoming for proper examples of nearly all-european regions with gun freedom and Chicago, LA, and Nigeria for non-european regions with restricted gun control.
