Yes, but I think the gun culture in the USA is so imbedded that people cant see "outside the box" that it could in fact be better if there were reforms.

No...

I was born and raised in a country that you had to be a member of THE ONLY hunting club in the country and all you could legally own was a smoothbore shotgun. No pistols or rifles. Periodically the state would come through and confiscate "illlegally owned" guns and often times said person would also be gone to gulag.


Currently the US can't even enforce the current guns law, why do you think more laws, laws that criminals by nature do not follow, be a solution?

Which is why the people in this country dont want the government to solely have that power. The people should be better armed than the government if we followed the founders ideology.

Brrrrpppp, that's my god given machine gun that requires no registration nor taxes.

No, we need nut job control. Lock up the nut jobs and guns are no problem.

And at this point, there are so many guns circulating that attempting to get rid of them will just leave the nut jobs armed and the average honest citizen defenseless. It's not like the nut jobs are going to turn in their ARs.

I don't know if you guys heard but in NYC, one homeless guy went around a subway train and stabbed 4 people randomly. Two died. They are calling him the "Subway Ripper". The police did catch the guy and guess what, he was already arrested twice for violent assaults and each time, he was let go.

The fact is that people now (more than ever) lack faith in the justice department and ability of police to protect them so that insecurity causes people to find ways to protect themselves and their families.

Nice! Keep it well oiled and clean it well every time you shoot it. Sometimes that ak ammo can be corrosive.

No, the only people who will be affected by gun laws are people who obey the law. Criminals will still get weapons illegally and law abiding people will be defenseless.

This. If they implemented some more controls and didn't make it so easy for mentally disturbed people to get weapons then probably mass shootings would go down. But now you can purchase a gun without any paperwork or license at a gun show or out of the trunk of a car without even trying.

It would take a massive effort to cut down on guns. Also, because the US is basically run on a state by state level for these things you'd never get all fifty buying in and it's a waste of time.

Look at the stats: A guy robs a 7/11 and shoots the clerk, he gets caught and goes to jail for like 10-20 years tops. Then he's back out and does it again. This is the problem, not guns.

An unprovoked murder should result in the execution of the murderer in my opinion. An eye for an eye. This is how it used to be in America and the second they started being lenient on murderers is the second it got out of hand.
Agree 100%. We should have straight out public execution of anyone who commits cold blooded murder or sexually abusing a child. Guns aren’t the problem, it’s the fact that our system has gone soft.

Take the Night Stalker killer for example, this guy killed soooo many people brutally and raped children. He died in jail of cancer before we killed him. One of the worst things is dental work is extremely expensive to the public, yet while this murderer was in prison he gets brand new teeth.... wtf even?

I still have a little over a case of Wolf 7.62x39 left from when Century would occasionally put them on sale for $89/case delivered.

cant sue the truck manufacturer but they think you should be able to sue the gun manufacturer when their product works as designed.

Knives and other cutting instruments kill almost 4x the people all rifle types combined in the US do. Per the FBI UCR.

.
Buying from a licensed dealer, even at gun shows, requires paperwork and a background check. Buying from a licensed dealer anywhere, even online, requires paperwork. Buying from a private citizen does not. It's not the government's business what goes on between two individuals. Plus, it's still illegal to knowingly sell a firearm to someone who cannot legally have one. It's still illegal to buy a firearm, regardless of who is selling, if you cannot legally own one.


Big difference and you're making it sound like it's all the same thing.

No. The US needs government, corrupt politicians, and lobbyist control, not to mention addressing Big Tech and Media control.

The reason they want gun control, is because people are waking up to ^^^^^ are the real problem in America.
Freedom of speech is a principle pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved and tyranny is erected on its ruins.

No. Gun control doesn’t work. It was never even created for safety. It was only created to keep guns out of the hands of minorities. It was never about safety.


It doesn’t work plus, and more importantly, there’s this whole 2nd amendment thing. So yeah get fuked

New guns shouldn't be made. The guns we have, let them be or give incentives for them to be turned in somehow.. New gun creation as a concept should only exist in the virtual world(ie video games)



Anyone who distrust the gov doesn't really understand that they are normal people like you and me


Look in the mirror before you make treasonous accusations and assumptions against your gov
