I am for limited weapon control. Human being must have the opportunity to protect his life and his/hers family members lives. For this purpose are well suited electric shockers, traumatic pistols and such tools. We are not on wild west and the idea that every has the right to protect itself with a gun on my opinion became old. Too many crazy humans lives today and handing them pistols is bad idea.
I agree. To protect you can use a less secure, but effective weapon. After all, in the hands of crazy people, this weapon will lead to mass murders of innocent people or animals.
Peaceful gunman has gun.
Gun control freaks see him with gun. They attack him with knives and clubs to take away his gun.
Gunman fears for his life. He shoots many gun control freaks who attack him, and kills them. Finally, they kill him with their knives and clubs, because there are just too many of them.
About that time, peaceful gunman's peaceful gun friend drives up. He sees gun control freaks kill his peaceful gunman friend. He jumps out of car and starts shooting. Many more gun control freaks die.
Gun control freaks run away and hold meeting. They decide to get guns for protection from gunman. Oops. They suddenly realize that they are not gun control people anymore.
Look what happened with drug control. Pot and coke and heroine might be bad. But when they were taken away from the people, the people invented crack and meth. New forms of meth can be made right at home out of common household chemicals, and doesn't even need to be cooked.
Should have left things alone so that there wouldn't be all these new, many-times-worse drugs out there.
Apply that to guns. If you take the guns away from people, what will they invent? Whatever it is, it will be worse than guns, and more destructive and more widespread, just like crack and meth. And you won't be able to stop it without placing the complete society in strait-jackets. And how are you going to do
that? From your strait-jacket?
Get it through your heads. Gun control isn't gun control. Rather, it is attempted people control. In free countries, people control doesn't work. In slave countries, it doesn't last long.Your best bet is to get some guns to protect yourself, and leave well enough alone.
And,
make friends with all the gun people around you,
so that you can fight off the few bad gunmen that happen to come around.
