why is "there still will be" a counter to "there will be fewer"?We should be more clear. When you say gun control, what do you mean?there will be less guns , so the solution is NO gun control just to understand ?The thing is "gun control" won't keep guns off the streets.
I fully agree it's far too easy in some places to get guns. Which in turn keeps trafficking high in the US from areas with lax laws to areas with tghter restrictions. I've seen NTers say they have no chance of getting a firearm and I literally went and got one on my lunch break one time.
At this point, in my experience with people I know, they're getting guns to protect themselves and their property. To say no one needs a gun is a statement I cannot agree with simply based on guns existing in the first place.
Will there be less guns if they are outright banned nationwide somehow? Yeah of course. But there will still be guns. There will still be mass shootings, there will still be home invasions, etc etc. There will also be an increased need for the firearm black market, because banning them or making them harder to get won't make people NOT want them, or stop trying to get one. Especially in this country where we glamorize guns and the military and the like.
Gotta start somewhere, I just have yet to see a plan that makes sense.
in many parts of europe they don't even know what guns look like. y'all can completely miss me with this we need guns for protection crap
If WE take the GUNS off the STREET, then these issues will decrease. We have to rebuild our communities, get the guns off the streets.
My bad, must have misunderstood.sea manup It wasn't a counter, I actually agreed with him |I read my post.
Like what is "gun control" to you? I always see that we need it but never a clear method of attaining these goals.
The goal is fewer gun deaths - What is the first step that people are afraid of taking? Australia is a good example of something that could work, but its a much different case. For one it's an island with like a tenth the population of the US. There are far more guns in this country, I'd wager there are more guns in this country than people in Australia by at least 10-11 times over.
A plan would be good here but it has to be realistic. Human nature is indeed human nature but to pretend Americans don't have an unhealthy obsession with guns making them an inherently special case doesn't make any sense to me.
Looks like gun deaths were already on a downward trend before the gun law even took effect. Actually, we have a similar decline of gun deaths in America too. It coincides with the overall decrease in crime from the 80's. Correlation does not always mean causation.
guns dont kill people
gun control will solve nothing.
My mans keeps two under each titty.
There are too many guns manufactured for there to be a successful ban on firearms. It's too far gone.
Dude shouldn't have touched the gun in the first place. Gun control won't solve a damb thing, I currently own 4 guns and have never pulled one out on anybody but I carry one everyday because you never know what might happen. I'm not scared to fight or anything but if Tyrone rolls up on you with a gun that he got illegally and you're not armed what would you do? Give up your stuff and hope he doesn't shoot, but if you are armed you have a chance of getting him away from you without even firing a shot. In most cases the mere sight of a firearm is enough to stop an attacker. Miss me with the gun control BS. The advocates for gun control are the same people who have ARMED BODY GUARDS, they're rich enough to afford body guards but common folk like myself can't defend mine.
there are other uses for cars, there are other uses for vehicles
guns are only used to cause harm
stats show that gun violence decreases after gun laws are put in place, the same would happen in the US
