What's your opinion of gun control?

[coinits]

[itsproblem2]

US is totally insane with all their guns, cmon I mean u guys are great, saved the world couple of times and shit...but its to time to grow up and do something against this randomness. 300 mill + people there gonna be one or another nutty person there! Also the defending thing more often then not really works. Either you cant access it all the times, and if you can you probably have a higher likelihood to harm you/family....

[DannaWond]

another shooting incident just happened in TX, maybe stricter law should be passed for gun control or more programs for responsible gun ownership should be made.

In fact, if we really want to control guns, we can make the world gun free.
Yeah, there can be knife attacks, hitting with lorries and cars but that would be less lethal or difficult move than firing with your gun.

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?

In my country, everybody were not owned gun and i saw this do the life in my country is safer. Guns are really too dangerous in the hand of people who have problem with their nerve. I agree your opinion "guns are not weapons, they are tools" it does matter who is use this tools and what is purpose ?

You must hate freedom. It's not up to you, or any bureaucrat on what I need to defend myself or my family. This is why the USA is and always will be, the most free country in the world. The only Amendment in the Bill of Rights that ensures you have all the other rights listed, is the 2nd Amendment.

This isn't rocket science

[Pretty Boy]

Guns should be legalized in our country, because times like this where almost every thieves and robbers has guns. We all need to have something to fight them and not just wait for the police to arrive.

I am PRO GUN.(People Responsible Owner of Gun) controlling Guns needs Controlling Gun Owners..Government must have the Guts and Balls to have tight laws for before someone can own a gun..Guns is not just a candy that can purchase anywhere.

Where is this sourced from? I firmly don't believe that comparing historical genocide to the EVIDENT gun issue that is ongoing in the USA. I am not challenging the 2nd amendment rights or freedom. I am not disputing a citizens right to a gun if used properly and responsibly. What I would like to say is that it should be acknowledged that there is an issue, may be then there could be movement towards a solution. i am not going to quote a number of sources with facts about gun deaths in violence globally if you are unaware then look it up you'll be shocked! I live in Canada and have in different provinces and own a multitude of guns cause I am a hunter. Our gun laws are not intense, does not deny anyone guys to guns unless it's found they are unfit to do so. I hope everyone who reads this forum and the news that we can hopefully in the future come to a mutual understanding that guns should be a tool used and only accessed by those who are deemed responsible to do so.

My ideal set of law according to firearm is like how they do in Japan. Becauss the weapons law of Japan begins by stating "No one shall possess a firearm or firearms or a sword or swords", and very few exceptions are allowed. Citizens are permitted to possess firearms for hunting and sport shooting, but only after submitting to a lengthy licensing procedure.

And there is separate licenses for hunting, sport shooting (a.k.a. target shooting), self-defense, collecting, and concealed carry, with different sets of requirements, permissions, and responsibilities.

Too bad your native Indians, you know the one you took their children from and put them in your schools, forcing them to forget their thousand years old culture, did not have guns to push you away my dear "I live in Canada"...

Where is this sourced from? That their culture was 1000 years old before you took over their lands you mean? I can't. Nothing is left as proofs. You owned the guns, not them.

The history of our country is not what I am refuting, or even speaking to. What I am saying is that regardless of our history there is an issue with firearms in our society, and there is empirical evidence to support the United States, among other countries has and continues to have a problem with, the use of firearms. Historical facts can surely tell us that they have been abused in the past, but should be not be acting in the interest of self-preservation of mankind, and if not our fellow countrymen?

Instead of that large paragraph, you should just say you want the Government to control the people.

This is why the United States doesn't hail to the Queen. We are free, and you're submissive to bureaucrats. Why do you trade/own decentralized currencies? Why not only hold your government tender?

[Flapjackz]

In order to see the effects of gun control why dont we compare one country with strict gun control laws and another
where there are loose laws.
Many of us would use the australia vs america comparison. Where no one in australia are allowed to carry guns, its a miracle that no one gets shot due to gun violence.
America is a different story however and the las vegas shooter had tons and TONS of things to work with..
You be the judge

In my own opinion there must be a total gunban only the authority has the right to own a gun of you given the chance to the civilian to own a gun for me that's a big mistake you will see it in Japan there are one of the peaceful country on earth...yes we could say that the civilian must have guns for there security but many off them giving extra brave especially if you experience to be bullied..saw much better that we don't authorise the civilian to own a gun..if you want gun joint the military..
For me gun is for authority only...

[Ph0level]

Of course it all depends on the place where you live. Maybe this is the most criminal area of ​​the city and you need to defend yourself. But the control over the weapon should be unequivocal. How many abnormal people go around, and sometimes even you do not know who is before you.

Then you shouldn't be allowed to own cryptocurrency. Funny how everyone jumps on a libertarian idea of decentralized money, but wants to limits another person's right to defend themselves. No bureaucrat or government official speaks for my individual thoughts. I as an individual decides what I need for my own protection. Why is freedom of choice so hard for you to understand? Have you been kept in a cage like a dog for too long?

Japan is a highly homogeneous and high iq population while the USA is not.
What works in japan does not work in the US.
