Let's Talk About Gun Control

[MeachTheMonster]

I don't think they should be banned, but they should be regulated much more aggressively. There is no way it should be easier to go buy a gun than it is to get a drivers license.

I think the insane with money will to whatever they want regardless of the laws. They have the money to produce their own weapons if need be.

The people with money tend to be sane because they have something to lose. Most mass murderers have nothing to lose.

Guns do kill people. Their primary function is to kill things.......

Guns dont pull their own triggers. Guns are a tool for humans to kill.

 

[ill]

Did he commit a mass murder? Did he use an assault rifle to kill 50-100 people? Didn't think so.

Who said that if more people were armed that this a$$hole wouldn't have got shot down when changing clips?

Who said that if more people had guns that more people woulda been shot?

I dont even understand what you are trying to say. What I meant by that is this guy shot up a large amount of people. If more people were armed, than maybe someone could have shot back and prevented this mass murderer from killing anymore people. Its the old arguement. If you outlaw guns, only the outlaws will have them. They dont follow the law either way so you need to be properly equipped to protect yourself.

Oh and I'm saying if more people had guns, LESS people would get shot. Its a proven statistic that places with a higher concentration of guns have a lower rate of gun violence. Its a mutual destruction type thing similar to the Cold War where the threat of a nuke from one side meant the other would use theirs as well.

What I'm saying is if more people had guns more people could have gotten shot. People don't even have to get proper training to buy guns. They'd more than likely miss him and shoot an innocent bystander.

More guns is never the answer. More guns=more people dead.

The arguments in the thread before you were about assault rifles and mass murderers. Just because one rich guy happens to be insane doesn't mean that 99.9% of the others are. He also didn't commit mass murder. He committed a single murder which he could have carried out with a knife or by choking someone so gun control is irrelevant.

If more people were armed

there should have been more well armed people at the youth camp in Norway?

Yeah and a spoon makes you fat and fat people die from obesity problems so a spoon can kill people

See how stupid that sounds?

You are assuming gun owners are idiots. Most people I know with guns are very safe and practice shooting at the range. Its personal responsibility. Most states require training classes before you can get your license so people DO get proper training.

Link?

Yes. Dont you think that if there were armed people at the camp that they may have tried to fight back and killed this guy before he killed them?
