Guns don't kill people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[youngguns]

ya but they kill with guns moron

 

[alien amp pharm]

the problem, little aap, is that is simply to easy to get a gun and extremely difficult to have a brain of the minimum size required to use it safely. There are simply to many indiviDUHals over there who have guns.

People with criminal backgrounds cannot purchase firearms. Did this recent Asian legally purchase a firearm?

and the last time I checked, all of the people I know personally who have firearms haven't killed anybody.

So again, what you want to do is punish EVERYONE because of a few bad apples.

I'm all for freedom, and agree its stupid people who kill, not guns themselves, but I also believe there is no reason to have deadly weapons in mass production for civilian use. Makes very little sense to me. Would make sense to have guns illegal within city limits. Make hunting grounds rent guns like ranges do. Take guns off the streets and out of homes. Maintain the hobby and sport of hunting if you wish, but for personal protection you are harming society more than hurting if you look at the average gun's top usages throughout its lifetime.

although the idea is sound.. reasonable persuasion, our country was founded on the right to bear arms, not to protect ourselves from one another, but to protect us from our government..

so that the government would never be able to force us from our homes, at least in mass.. they can still do it if it is in the name of "law enforcement" but could you imagine the National Guard attempting to remove all *jews, or muslims, or christians, or blacks, or mexicans or italians, or any combination of these from their homes to send them to prison camps??

yes they did it to the Japanese, but the country was behind that panic.. may rednecks.. yea, lets go take all their guns away from them, they are too stupid to know what we are doing..

It really is all about the individual. In Switzerland (where I lived for 6 years) EVERY MALE between 18 years and 55 years is REQUIRED BY LAW to keep a rifle at home; ready to use. The government issues these weapons and each male is required to go to a shooting range every year to keep thweir skills up.

Of course, every male between 18 and 55 is in the army, but the point is.......... it's not the amount of weapons in a society but the quality of that society.

Gun crime/murder in Switzerland is VERY LOW, like almost statisticly negligible.

I used to be very prop gun control but like so much of my politics, i firmly believe now in gun rights

and then people say the Swiss don't have an army... :hecks: they give away guns for free!!!

btw, the whole thing is true, when I first heard of it, I founf it hard to believe, never trust the swiss

Just answer the question.

What question, which countries have had mass shootings?

Lots of countries have. What's your point?

 

[heavy_duty]

Yah OK it happens all over the place.
I'll let you Americans believe that.
How Often does it happen in China, Japan, Korea, Scotland, England, Ireland?

You better post up some proof for that rediculous last statement.

Exactly, my .22 caliber rifle hasn't killed anything more than a target in the last thirty years. The only firearms I own that may have killed someone are a Japanese Type 99 short rifle my father brought home from WWII as a souvenir, the M1903 Springfield and .45 caliber colt revolver(non-issue personal sidearm) my grandfather carried during WWI.
