Legalising guns has not done america any good with all the high school massacres that have happened in the past. To be honest people can't be trusts with firearms for defence or sport perposes only.

________________

If anyone can buy a gun, everyone who thinks they might like to shoot someone is going to buy one, and not many others(except hunters/hobbyists).

Look at knives. Those are nice and legal and if you have a sharp one you can defend yourself. Who carries sharp knives around with them in easy reach? Mainly people who want to threaten, rob or stab other people.

I am disappointed by this poll, how can the majority be so narrow-minded to think the idea of having a firearm should be illegal. Obviously there are many people in this world who shouldn't have guns, and the lengthy process in acquiring one weeds out a lot of those people... but the fact is whether it's legal or not, people will get their hands on them, so why make them illegal in the first place?

Just wanted to say, seeing as this topic started from the riots in England and someone saying the situation would be better if the citizens were permitted to be armed, if guns were legal in England then wouldn't this mob be armed as well?

we're not narrow minded
im just going to quote my previous post

there you have your answer

lol easy going attitude, dont think that everyone is so no afraid of having to spend few years in prison (more if you get a bad lawyer)
lol reminds of that song "kniving is la~ame get a gun and put the blade awa~y"-- nvm



my point exactly! --just about weed



and just as many ways of killing people which dont involve shooting so it's pointless why we are even discussing this?

lol bad ass imagination you have, such explosives aren't exactly legal as well haha killing with fireworks could be possible tho
yeah, nowdays everyone loves shotguns especially 12 year old brats who plays too much fps

Don't be a fuck nugget. you can make an explosive out of shit in your garage. unless you are going to power cars with solar or something.

even then its not hard to make gunpowder. Or are you going to ban taking a fucking crap you ignoramus?

calm down -.- even if you have a point noones going to listen to you if you talk like that

Well yes there is many ways to kill someone but if there's a way of minimising these risks I think It's a good thing. Like I said before in a previous post, what about all the crazy american high school kids just going around shooting up all their class mates?

yeah, figured, dont think if that kind of explosive would be able to kill anything, but your swearing is priceless lol



that's prolly cause they get bullied a lot and are mentally forced to do that. what i'm trying to say is that the problem isnt in guns it's in the society-- just let it be (the beatles)

Okay the amount of knowledge you have to have about making a garage exsplosive and mind you having these appliances I think is a lot harder to get a hold of than just going to a shop and buying a gun. Do you not agree?

This is where the whole argument gets pedantic. If guns were never invented there'd be firearm like restrictions on the next-most threatening weapon (look at Warring States era as well as modern Japan, Katana were/are illegal unless the right you go through the right channels/know the right people. Honestly guns are just the most recent evolution in a continually evolving threat/arms race where the idea is "I know X is illegal, so I don't want to use it, but the other guys might not think that way and they'll probably use X, so I will too."

95% of the time I don't even comment on threads like this since all it will turn into is a dog chasing its own tail where there is a lot of talk and no answers. I don't even know why I even chimed in in the first place...

Also whatever is going on in London has kind of gone over my head (focusing on College applications/manga) so this is just an off-the-cuff, over-arching, gun legalization vs. restriction opinion.

Nonsense, there's no point in thinking ifs and what concerns those who doesnt do shit thats illegal is that they are afraid of consequences (wise thing to do some would say)

lmao yea outlawing guns is gona keep them out of the hands of criminals. i mean seriously just look at how well prohibition and the war on drugs has worked out do you see drugs anywhere? no! in the 1920s was there a larger crime scale after the volstead act was passed by congress as oppose to when alcohol was legal? no! we should totally outlaw guns i mean what are criminals gona do then break the law and get a gun i dont think so ( just a quick fyi for brain dead people this rambling was sarcasm outlawing things just make it easier for criminals to get their hands on it its why drugs have sky rocketed into an industry in the US after the 1970 and why prohibition became a very sustainable industry in the 1920s criminals dont care about the law thats why we call them criminals)
