Is there REALLY a solid argument to NOT have gun control?? cuz I just don't see it...

[Maschine_Man]

I really don't understand why so many ppl are AGAINST gun CONTROL....not banning... not eliminating but just good responsible gun ownership.

I just don't see ANY argument why gun control is a bad thing.

Gun training, gun licensing, weapon safety, etc. should ALL be what EVERYONE wants.

Also, completely banning automatic weapons and assault style weapons should be an automatic. why on earth is it necessary to own an assault rifle?



One argument that I find completely stupid is the one where ppl keep saying that shyt like what happened in Orlando wouldn't happen if everyone had a gun...

first off.....right now guns aren't illegal and this shyt is still happening.
and secondly...who in their right fukking mind believes that drunken party'ers should be carrying weapons?

alcohol and drunks doesn't sound like a bad idea to anyone?






Can ANYONE realistically tell me why gun control is a bad thing?

Well Prohibition pretty much failed at stopping everything else Alcohol , drugs, etc and I'm sure guns would be the no different

Cause criminals (shooters) don't follow the law

Is that not true

I'm not talking about prohibition though.

I'm talking about gun control and responsible ownership.

for example: you need to be 21 to legally be allowed to drink. that is a control measure to keep ppl safe

you need to be a certain age and have a driver's licence before you can legally drive. That is another control measure to keep ppl safe.

this isn't prohibition, its just control.


Gun ownership should be no different.

someone should have to take a safety course, show to be mentally good to go, and then it shouldn't be a problem to get a licence to own a weapon.

What does it have to do with this thread?

 

[SchoolboyC]

Cause criminals (shooters) don't follow the law

Using that logic, why have any laws at all? Since criminals will just break them anyway

 

[Maschine_Man]

Cause criminals (shooters) don't follow the law

and?

we are making arguments for ppl that don't follow the laws now?

should we stop issuing drivers licences, cuz criminals will just drive them anyway?

should we just take away age limits on smoking and drinking because ppl will just drink anyway?

what is the point of having any laws then, cuz the very small minority of ppl will just break them anyway.


It's one of the weakest arguments.

Look how ineffective gun control in Chicago is, people who want guns will get guns.

The main problem in the USA is the culture of paranoia, hatred, and discrimination that makes people (mainly non-black) turn to mass killing.

Gun control wouldn't accomplish anything because crazy people will still find ways to harm people.

there is no gun control.

and gun control can't just happen in one city. It has to be national.

no point in having gun control in one city when ppl can just go to another city to buy them and come back.

for example: you need to be 21 to legally be allowed to drink. that is a control measure to keep ppl safe

and we're the only dumbass country with that rule. Everywhere I lived overseas has been 18 and up. Some places 16

do you know how hard it is for a regular person to get a gun in Canada?...somewhere where it is legal to own guns?

ppl think that anyone can just walk down the street and buy guns off some guy on the corner like it's nothing....that ain't true.

you are missing the point. 21/19/18 the number is irrelevant.
I agree that 21 is a stupid age limit, but that is a different argument.
