yes you should, I mean really....what do you think will happen? Do people think their great nation will go up in flames if they can't keep their precious Glock?
nah I don't think that. I do think things like hunting and home defense will be a lot more difficult though. random idiots and psychopaths should not ruin it for law abiding citizens.
Which is what the cop did/was trying to do...the only issue is the manner in which the prick in the video handled it but somehow there are fools in here "
what is "out in the open" to you? if a dude is walking through my suburban neighborhood waving his Glock around looking crazy, damn right I'm calling the cops. I'm just really convinced dude in this vid wasn't doing that seeing as how he didn't get tackled to the ground and clearly wasn't doing anything illegal since he walked away a free man.Originally Posted by Sleaze Jar Omens

You do know firearms were all but banned in the UK. They have actually seen an increase in violent crime. On the flip side Switzerland, Finland, and Sweden all rank in the top 10 in firearms per capita yet have some of the lowest crime rates in the world.Originally Posted by lexflex81
A constitutional right that might have been relevant in the context of the time it was set up (a dangerous, unstable time, birth of a new nation and all of that) but should have no relevance nowadays.Originally Posted by CreateDestroy

Taking away guns will be taking away one of our core constitutional rights.....
The VAST majority of guns used for criminal purposes are not legally registered to the user anyway. So banning guns will not stop gun crime.
And the fact that there are so many guns around (legal or illegal) ties in to the US mentality that guns are pretty much a neccesity. If people were not so obsessed with owning guns there would not be an extensive black market for illegal firearms IMO. I mean, look at gun crimes in first world countries where guns are illegal. I'll bet the yearly mortality rate would not even touch a weekly mortality rate in a major US city. Of course I realize the damage has been done; if you guys had outlawed guns say, 70 years ago you might not be facing the high gun related mortality numbers you are today. And now that this "right" is so ingrained in the nation's psyche, people would literally be up in arms if you try and take away their guns. But there must be some way to make it more difficult to own a gun or at least try to dam in the power of the NRA nutjobs . Or at least try and raise your children not to believe that a gun is a neccesity or even a right, any sane individual should realize this.

none of this would have came out of your mouth if son walked by you
The example given does not make sense at all and therefore is NOT relevant to this situation. We're not even talking about intent. We're talking about gun laws, holstered weapons in plain sight, and the law. Something that you're conveniently choosing to ignore.
