Perhaps you Americans would like a gift of more bullets to kill each other with?

It's the people motard. Look at France. Guns are illegal there and the recent tragedy shows that it's [b][i]the people. [/i][/b] If guns were illegal criminals would still find a way to get them.
-
Hey you. Yeah, you Mr. Ignorant. Have you ever looked at domestic shooting statistics? (No!) Well, a trend seen with those is that the more lenient gun laws are, the more shootings happen. On a side note, a vast majority of suicides are committed with a firearm! You know what? Less guns = less death!
-
I'm also unsure comparing how people from Belgium (who performed the Paris shootings) with all to frequent American shootings, works? No one shooting anyone is acceptable.
-
What the Dickens is a "motard". If it is the 'people' as you correctly suggest, perhaps some for of gun control should be considered. Then the right to bare arms could be limited to short sleeve shirts.
-
Last time I checked extreme gun control only affects [b]law abiding citizens[/b] and criminals don't follow or respect the law. Besides if you knew how easy it is for criminals to acquire black market guns, as in illegal to begin with, then you wouldn't have posted that. I am simply saying you are a little uniformed.
-
Yet somehow in other countries who also have a criminal element (such as my own) where gun control exists - we don't have the same issues. Australia is a great example of effective gun control. Hiding behind a criminal element is an easy deflection and one that is often rolled out. I'm more informed that you assume.
-
Yet somehow in countries with little gun control there is nearly nonexistent gun crime. Same phenomenon can be seen in different regions of the US. Face it. It is the people. We humans have murdered each other just fine for thousands of years with blades. Before that rocks! It is the perceived need to kill that needs to be addressed not the tools.
-
I certainly can't compare my country to America when it comes to gun control or dealing with any major crimes - we're so small that what works here is negated by the size of America. Nor can I say that we do not have problems of our own. We are the worst when it comes to killing infants/toddlers. Our annual rates of infanticide are a stain on our history. If you haven't already seen it - John Oliver has an entertaining yet interesting three video clip series on gun control (it's on YouTube).

No, I'm not uninformed at all. I was talking about [b]domestic shootings[/b] and [b]suicides[/b], and really, how often do you see shit about a criminal shooting up a movie theater or mall? You usually see a normal civilian doing that, not someone identified as a criminal. And anyway, many criminals don't [i]feel the need[/i] to shoot up public areas and thus don't really fall into the category of domestic shootings. Sorry if I went off on a tangent, but the point is that most suicides and domestic/mass shootings are committed by normal people.[spoiler]However, the lenient gun laws could certainly make it very easy for a criminal to acquire a firearm, as opposed to having strict gun control laws.[/spoiler]
-
That is true but with a few things to add. The shooters that do those mass shootings are beforehand ordinary law abiding citizens. No record. No reason, by personal history, that the government would have a reason to deny them their right to bear arms. No different from you or I. It is when they snap that they do that stuff. The people themselves are the ones that need changes. I say this as a US citizen, myself.
-
Yes, the people themselves do need changes. However, it is much easier and much less expensive to deal with gun laws first and simply implement background checks to prevent mentally unstable or depressed people from acquiring firearms. From there, we can at least attempt to change the mindset of the people to get them to think "what will you use this gun for? If it is harmful to any human in any way and not being used for militaristic purposes then you should not purchase it" or something along those lines should be the mindset of anyone wishing to purchase firearm.
-
This is also true but realistically it wouldn't take more than a commercial here and there, or other ad forms, to really make that change. Think about it. Ads influence people for nearly everything. Why not gun violence prevention? If people grew up around these ads as much as Coke or Pepsi ads this wouldn't even be an issue.
