I seriously don't get why America cant understand why guns should be banned

I mean they don't understand that guns kill. No wonder there is so much crime in America. "More crime cuz of knifes den"-Haha I rarely see knife crime here in the UK. TBH I don't understand why you don't understand that guns are dangerous and kill. So please enlighten me MERICA? Please tell me why guns shouldn't be banned to the general public?!

        • Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Therefore there is no reason why there shouldn't be gun control.

        • America is this retarded exception with their guns. People in America are so obsessed with their guns, it's not doing anyone a favor to take them away.

            • Not American, but I understand that their laws say guns to be used for a militia. Therefore, if people want to have/keep guns, then I would say train them to become a militia/auxiliary police force. They still have guns, the government keeps a closer eye on people who have guns and everyone wins. Otherwise, I think that a lot of Americans can't face that there are countries that have successful laws about gun use. Plus the NRA doesn't speak for all gun users, meaning that there will be people who support more gun control

              Firearms are inanimate objects therefore they cannot kill anything. It takes a human hand to fire a firearm therefore, people kill people, not firearms. p.s. if you're not American, [b][u]THEN WHY THE -blam!- DO YOU CARE WHAT LAWS WE HAVE OR DON'T HAVE?![/u] [/b] Shut up and worry about your own problems.

                Fun fact: Australia's gun ban successfully reduced the amount of gun crime in the country, but other forms of violent crime like raep have skyrocketted.

                • There haven't been any gun homicides in my town since before I was even born, therefore guns are good. I also never hear of gun murders happening in the towns/cities next to me so it must never happen.

                  Prescription drugs kill more people per year than guns do? Why are we not banning those?

                  • For me, it's pretty simple. I own firearms, I understand firearms, I don't fear them, I don't see them as a "crime waiting to happen" and not one of my firearms has been used to kill anyone, ever. So, when someone who doesn't have my level or personal experience tells me that they somehow "know better"? I am disinclined to acquiesce to their request. PS: Gun crimes and gun deaths in the US have been trending downwards over the last 20 years. Despite what the headlines lead people to belive.

                    • Gun crime is driven by gang violence caused by US drug policy. Exact same shit that happened with prohibition.

                      It's absolutely mind blowing to most people outside the United States. It's like they live on another planet.

                    • Lelno. This is like saying vehicles kill despite the fact that it is the driver's who operate it. An inanimate object or instrument cannot kill someone. The person who operates it, can.

Then he'll have you shipped off to a FEMA death camp to die from hard labor after a Death Panel approves it. The ONLY solution is to have guns in the hands of every citizen of the United States, maybe several in each hand and guns in schools, so that we can overthrow the current democratically elected government and install me as your new Lord, Ruler and King! And besides, I'm not getting paid enough money being a fear mongering asshole working for the Gun Industry opposing any and all sensible reform and boosting sales through already mentioned fear mongering. Pierre: Oh shit, did I say that last part outloud? I meant to use the inside my head voice for that.

                        • I don't think that people will just start murdering with knives. I would just like to have a gun, in case the winds of revolution come around. I don't want to sound like a paranoid gun toting government hater, but a good government now (debatable) could turn into one in need of replacement down the road. My gun also gives me the feeling that I have control over my own destiny, something I know has my back just in case.

                        • The fact of the matter is Americans are protected constitutionally on the right to bear arms. There was a time when the rifle sitting in every Americans home was the only tool that fought off the redcoats, if such a time should ever arise in again, no one wants to be unarmed. The feeling of helplessness is one that Americans won't stand for, and if you think you change that, you'll end up with nine bullets in your chest from the .45 I keep on my bedside table.

                            • [quote]So please enlighten me MERICA? Please tell me why guns shouldn't be banned to the general public?![/quote] Simple. Because banning guns will NEVER keep them out of the hands of criminals. So by banning them from people who will never use them in a malicious way will NEVER keep guns out of the hands of those who wish to use them to inflict harm. Tougher regulations on at home guns to make it a felony if a child gets their hands on one and harms another individual, sure I am for that. (aka - Dad goes to jail if jr. shoots someone, making Dad more vigilant over the guns location and accessibility). Still, take away one form of weaponry, those who wish to use them will just resort to another.
