Topic: What's your opinion of gun control? - page 155. (Read 450482 times)

I again suggest that one (of many) of the rationals behind dis-arming law abiding citizens would be to have them feel more of a reliance on the state and the law enforcement powers of it.  Most of the sheeple will see the state sponsored law enforcement as the lesser of two evils when a compared to a gang of homicidal miscreants even if the police are pretty awful.

If I were charged with figuring out a strategy to get 'country folk' moved into mega-city 'habitats', I would certainly utilize criminal elements to terrorize the people who were resistant to the wishes of the planners.   In these cases, law enforcement could not do their jobs even if they wished to, and certainly not if their command structure has instructions to 'lay off' certain contrived problems.

People control is better. A guy with temper and other connected emotions might use it for personal gains.

It's odd to see people wearing guns aside from cops.

Only in USA: people walking down the street with assault rifles to the grocery store. What do you want to defend yourself against with a weapon that soldiers go to war with? You'd think they live in Uganda or something. Jeez! I'd be afraid to even open my windows there. Talk about protection...

People that think they should have the right to arrange society so that my guns are taken away do not have the right to ask me to defend them....

You mean like U.N. personnel who trade food for sexual services of kids in the countries where they are fully operational?  Blackwater mercenaries who shoot up the Iraqi streets they drive down for fun?  U.S. police who shot people with their hands up or lashed behind their backs while they lay on the ground?  IDF forces who board ships in international waters (not to mention what goes on in the terrestrially in the grounds they occupy or invade?)

I suppose these problems could be solved by making sure that as little footage of such events as possible is obtained and that no 'real' media reports on such events.  Personally, I'm more comfortable with the potential solution envisioned by those who wrote our 2nd amendment.  At least it can provide the incentive to moderate the worst kinds of abuses in communities which are well armed.

Soros and his ilk would have a much more difficult time flooding my community with temporarily unemployed ISIS mercenaries than he had in Sweden and Germany, and we can thank out 2nd amendment for this as I read the geo-political landscape.  I'm sure this reality drives the One Worlders nuts and I'm also quite convinced that it is this which is mostly responsible for the desperate push to dis-arm American citizens before they wake up and it is to late.  Criminals cannot be dis-armed because they have their own security needs which makes it impossible to do.  In their case, it is security against other criminals in their environment.  The very same principle can apply to non-criminal civilians.

all the government must have gun control policy and only armed forces should have the right of carriyng a gun.. indivudual armament must be banned.

The ends justify ANY means.

How are you going to ascertain that the professional psychologist knows what a person's psychology is all about? Are you going to look at his test scores from college that were devised, administered, and graded by other psychologists? Are you going to believe what others tell you about him, that he is qualified? If you are, how are you going to determine that THEY are qualified to make such determinations about the psychologist that controls who gets to own guns?

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, let's say that you found a psychologist that was qualified to test people properly, to see if they were mentally balanced enough to own a gun. How do you know that this psychologist wouldn't be working for the gun grabbers on the sly, just to take your guns away from you, a sane gun owner and user? How do you know he isn't simply a gun control freak himself? 'Cause you asked him, and he said he wasn't?

I want people who know about a person's psychological entitled to say someone worth using a gun or not.

Nobody has enough ability to erase all knowledge about building guns from the world. The criminals will always make guns because nobody can take gun-making ability away from all of them. We can tell simply by all the politicians who say, "Get rid of guns," yet have armed body guards, and carry guns themselves.

Do you want someone who has a worse mental disorder - a psycho-logist or greed-crazed politician - deciding who has mental disorders enough that they can't have a gun? Maybe they will decide on you.

It's quite simple: More guns, less crime.
It's a fact that in Israel terrorists have not this big effect, because there are a lot of people with weapons. If something happens they could kill them quickly.

Think about this, the amok guys have always the biggest effect if they go in weapon free areas like schools for example.

Psychiatric assessments. Do you want someone who is suffering from a mental disorder holding a gun?

Growing number of police chiefs, sheriffs join call to arms




It’s Florida Sheriff Grady Judd’s duty to protect the citizens of Polk County — but he figures it’s their job, too.

One of a growing number of rural and big-city law enforcement officials who openly encourages responsible gun ownership, Judd believes guns allow citizens to defend themselves when police cannot.

“If you are foolish enough to break into someone’s home, you can expect to be shot in Polk County,” Judd said in a statement after a homeowner shot a would-be home invader earlier this month. “It’s more important to have a gun in your hand than a cop on the phone.”

Such full-throated embrace of the Second Amendment as a crime-fighting tool isn’t confined to red states like Florida.

One California police chief is backing teachers in his district packing heat. Detroit Police Chief James Craig has been a leader in urging his community to arm itself. A Maryland sheriff is working with the state’s general assembly to try to make it easier for citizens to obtain handgun permits.

In the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence’s most recent ranking of states with the strongest gun laws, California (1), Maryland (4) and Michigan (15) ranked near the top of the pack.

Some gun rights advocates say terror attacks at home and abroad have contributed to a change in attitudes about gun ownership among community members and authorities, even in locales historically hostile towards the Second Amendment.

“That has helped play into it, and there’s no doubt the active shooter scenario has, too,” said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation. “You’re seeing people say, ‘How do you respond?’”

The answer varies based on where you live, and how your law enforcement leaders are selected.

Police chiefs are typically appointed by mayors, and their politics tend to line up with whoever chose them. Sheriffs, in contrast, are voted into office and in some cases espouse values of a constituency that is growing ever-more pro-gun.

“Historically, sheriffs have been very pro-gun rights,” Gottlieb told FoxNews.com. “But they’ve stepped out of the box and they’re now publicly making it known that firearms are good for self-defense.”

Yes, let's return to the pre-gun age of humankind, infinitely more genocide every day!

In the USA, IIRC, there is less crime in areas where the concealed carry is allowed.

To put it the other way, the absolute worst areas, with the most shootings, are in areas where guns are illegal.

Lots of statistics on this.

Citations needed.

The only reason America has more gun crimes is, America has more guns.

Without the guns in the hands of Americans, the governments of the world would turn their people into slaves. Why? They won't do it until Americans have no guns, because they realize that their people would see the freedom with guns, and take down their governments... if they tried it while Americans still had guns.

Up with freedom. More and bigger guns are the only way to remain free.

This. It's just statistically proven that countries with more gun control have less fatal crime, America is the only country with so much mass shootings and you're straight up delusional if you think gun control wouldnt actually reduce that.

Ok, got it.  Thanks.

Well, I doubt that women in germany are going to be carrying Glocks....

But it's important to recognize that the nature of the criminal activity in an area is a reaction to the structure of the law and culture.  By it's nature criminal activity is adaptive.
