Topic: What's your opinion of gun control? - page 50. (Read 450482 times)

What about the Marines, Navy, and Air Force? They can't have guns too? 

At the moment it's not the army alone who have access to guns, criminals all have access to guns and weapons that causes numerous loss of lives, if they have these weapons, what about the law abiding citizens who is going to protect them when these goons attacks them.

Gun control is not and never has been about safety, social problems, or workable solutions. It is a pure and simple attempt at people control. We have enumerated freedoms in the Constitution for a reason. We are free citizens, not subjects of a potentate who bow to his imperial will, and we plan to stay that way.

I just gonna quote the following from the daily mail article for the luls:

-Gun deaths cost the economy roughly $164.6 billion (1.1% of the GDP)

-United States has a higher number of deaths by firearms than any other industrialized nation in the world

Because it is from 2010 i would imagine the situation to be much worst now  (e.g. Black & muslim lives matter)

The us has clearly no problem. Autist kids and gangsta niggaz.

Not sure what country you are in, but here in the U.S. it is not a problem:



10/100,000 is hardly what I would consider a crisis.  If the number of cancer cases were plotted on the same graph it would be up in the 30,000/100,000 range.  That seems to me a much bigger issue.  Same with autism which is, for some reason, skyrocketing over my lifetime.  Like from 1/10,000 to 1/60-ish.  Me thinks that people who are all worried about gun violence are brainwashed into barking up the wrong tree and wasting their worry budget on a non-issue.

I would also count out suicide since people who are serious about it have a multitude of options.  Doing so reduces the 10/100,000 non-issue to 5/100,000.



(2010 figures apparently...it was just the first thing I pulled up to make the point.)

Of course in reality the policy is driven by people who don't wish law abiding citizens to have guns.  Criminals having guns and terrorizing normal citizens is very much in their interest.  In fact, anything terrorizing normal citizens is in their interest since the (usually false) promise of arranging protection is how they justify their power.  I'd bet money that in a 'gun free' America, if the supply of guns did actually start drying to the point where criminals couldn't get them, the powers that be would resolve the problem by making guns available to criminals.  Maybe through operations such as 'fast and furious'.  Maybe simply be fostering corruption of law enforcement.  Probably both.

Yee was a vocal advocate for gun control, both before and while engaged in gun running. During sentencing, Federal District Judge Charles Beyer called Yee’s actions “vile” and the arms dealings particularly “hypocritical” given the politician’s history of gun control. In 2006 Yee was named to the Gun Violence Prevention Honor Roll by the Brady Campaign for his efforts that included co-authoring a first-in-the-nation bill to require new semiautomatic handguns be equipped with ballistics identification technology known as micro-stamping. In May 2012, together with Kevin de León, Yee proposed legislation to ban any semi-automatic rifle that used a bullet button that makes the rifle a "fixed magazine rifle." SB 249 would ban conversion kits and rifles. According to his press release, "Absent this bill, California's assault weapon ban is significantly weakened. For the safety of the general public, we must close this loophole." Yee is quoted as saying, "It is extremely important that individuals in the state of California do not own assault weapons. I mean that is just so crystal clear, there is no debate, no discussion
...
In response to the gun running and other criminal charges against him, the California State Senate suspended Yee as a Senator on March 28, 2014. On July 1, 2015, Yee pleaded guilty to a felony racketeering count in relation to money laundering, public corruption and bribery in a San Francisco Chinatown organized crime case. On February 24, 2016, Yee was sentenced to five years in federal prison. As of March 25, 2016, Yee is incarcerated at FCI Ft Worth.

So what do you propose they do about the millions of guns already out in the public?

In the US there are approximately 300 million guns that the general public owns.

If you make them illegal and say turn them in do you think they will magically disappear and we will never see another gun again?

It is impossible to get rid of them.

If police can't protect me so I do it by myself

this issue rose up because even there is a strict policy to buy a gun, there are incidents of deaths resulting from using license gun. IMO, even if you are sane and very careful in bringing or using gun. if there is a time that you cant control yourself ( i believe it always happens to every people once in their lives) out of anger and you have your gun with you, you are still capable of killing people. so yes this gun control should be impose to every countries in the world.

The police can't protect individuals from violent crime. Say some thug breaks into my house in the middle of the night. I could call the police and if I am lucky they would be there in fifteen minutes and by then my family could be dead. With a gun I can protect myself instantly.

I am totally with the gun control. I don't want any idiot to walk around with gun. Only security forces should be able to carry weapons. I don't understand the self protection excuse , protecting the it's people is the first duty of governmets. If you do not fell safe , vote for another group in the elections.
