if guns are banned I'll just get 'roided up and carry a tonfa
In the UK we are a democracy thanks. very few people own guns and we have had only 1 mass shooting that i can remember.
all these people saying that 'guns dont kill people' are being a bit obtuse about it imo. without the guns the crazy people would find it much harder to commit mass murder.
so you can blame the morals etc etc, but the guns facilitate the killing to a huge extent.

armed break ins are kind of the standard over here, and the courts decided that the cops don't have to protect you
it's kind of a fucked up reality, but you play with the cards you are dealt
Yeah tell cheney to be safe lol..humm, though any reasons i would see for owning guns, would be for hunting.
only for people that had been taught to handle these guns (and to hunt safely.)
and at special gun ranges, for fun.
though, the number 1 reason for keeping a gun in the home is probably criminals.
but do armed break in´s happen that much? and what are the legal penalties?
heh. if the cops dont protect the people, what use are they? traffic tickets and scoring weed for themselves?
in that case id want heavy machine guns and gatling guns for every home.
might as well outgun the crooks. (semi joking, would be kinda cool, till you got the death toll in lol)
since in that case, heavy restrictions on guns, would only bring a larger black market.
id instate more teaching on proper gun usage though.
don't know about the US, but in Switzerland every sane male adult has his or her military weapon at home and the emergency packs of rounds, plus any ammo they buy them selves. they don't have armed break ins, nor do they have mass shootings. in fact the crime rate is quite low. the secret is in the training, every one of those weapon owners has had training on that weapon and been drilled in safe handling. without that training people do stupid shit with guns. specially when one is young it can be very tempting to behave irresponsibly.
People aren't committing crimes and mass shootings because they don't know how to safely handle a gun.
Are people afraid to stand up and fight for whats right? Are people afraid to die?
Yeah training is good, but most of the criminals here have none..well unless you want to count drive-bys. The real problem to me is, criminals will have guns no matter what law there is..the law abiding man is fucked if he gives up his guns. I'm not going to be fucked. I'm going to say "You're Fucked"No, but a brief period of conscription to provide both some weapons training and some lessons in being a productive member of society might be worth a hard look. The Swiss are obviously doing something right, and it has sure as hell gotten away from us. There are far too many guns out there to ever take them away, and the mindset of the populace wouldn't allow it anyhow. The other option is to arm the good guys and teach them the skills that used to be endemic in our population prior to about 40 years ago.
i've been living on less than $16,000 a year for the last 3 years. prior to that i was making double that. never murdered anyone, or caused a person pain or injury for my problems. to blame society's financial collapse to justify violence is fucking absurd, and delusional. nice of you to blame the poor when most poor people i know aren't even considering a gun when their stomachs are taking priority. poor people don't buy guns. people with money to fucking waste do in order to "protect themselves" from a self perceived boogy man (aka the gov't or other "liberal threat").
like i said i've been broke and hungry for years, and along with many others in the same boat, NONE have ever resorted to violence for self gratification in any form. it's called respect for human life, and no murder could ever justify the want, or even need, by another. dumpster diving for leftovers will not get you shot. apparently going to see a midnight showing of batman can tho.
Self perceived? If you cannot see the ever increasing loss of our liberties (an effect from too much government/power) then you sir need to open your eyes and look around at the world around you.self perceived boogy man (aka the gov't or other "liberal threat").
