I'm not trying to be witty, I'm trying to speak in layman's terms so you idiots can understand. There has to be some form of regulation or these statistics are going to keep increasing. I'd rather put a band aide on it, then make the cut larger.
Sure it's the media, but it's also people that believe that guns aren't the problem, people are. That's just completely ass backwards. As I said before, how many mass stranglings do you hear of? None you say....why is that...oh because you can't strangle a large group of people from 30' away no matter how crazy you are...give that guy a gun though and well you get the point.
oh okay, so let me speak to you in laymans terms so an idiot like yourself can understand. HEIGHTENING REGULATIONS WOULDNT HAVE STOPPED THE FUCKING GUY, PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS. now that the generalization is done, we can continue. Stings a bit when people name call dont it. There is no way you can regulate a population of 7 billion people and expect a reasonable amount of them who are likely fucking looney to not get the firearm they needed to mass murder people, if they are going to commit an atrocity, then they are. I just cant think of a way other then to just outright ban them that would create the deficit in shootings that you expect. I simply asked you for a proposition, you failed to deliver, you insult me, and then give an extreme like strangling to continue pushing some glorious staunch anti-gun debate. Like i said, there isnt a whimsical law that we can add to the already twenty thousand gun laws that will keep stupid from being stupid.
The proposition is to keep things the way they are with cars where everyone abides by the same speed limits and restrictions because of the 1% who fuck it up, even if you're REALLY REALLY SURE that you're not in that 1% and can decide for yourself what is a safe speed. That's the restriction you have right now.
isnt that relatively what we have already and isnt working? I mean shit, the state i used to live in, Maryland, banned assault weapons and a whole slew of others just because the name sounded scary(no barretts, thats the name of the over glorified call of duty 50. cal sniper rifle, so you cant own that). They also have the large magazine ban, concealed carry is impossible to get, and every citizen who purchases a firearm applies for it, waits a month for a background check, and the firearm is sent to the state police where they first fire the weapon to take pics in case it is ever used in a crime. Yet we have the fine city of Baltimore, Murder capital of the country and none of that stops the barrage of murders that occur daily.
Obviously none of us here are going to have the correct answer to fix the issue, else we would be a fine politician working on capitol hill making a 6 figure pay check. I truly dont see the point in these debates is what im eluding to, they are fruitless, they never lead anywhere.
Well the main issue with this logic is that cars are designed to transport people and objects from place to place as their first priority. Yes, they can also be misused and therefore lead to injury and death. Same with plenty of other tools, be it an electric drill, saw, woodchipper, lawnmower, etc etc. Chainsaws are made to cut wood. Can they also be used by mass murderers going on a rampage? Yes, although not very effectively. Guns however are made primarily to kill things, people and/or animals. Target shooting and such are merely games/practice that developed to further people's proficiency with these weapons. A car can be a weapon. A chainsaw and a lawnmower too. But they aren't designed to be weapons, while guns are. Regulating cars and other tools in the same manner as firearms is literally retarded.
jesus christ, i didnt even bring up the car comparison debacle, and here i am being written to as if i did. Youre literally quoting the same thing that happens every goddamn time these threads come up.
If you're hunting for a living or some shit, then yeah, apply for a license and get certified to own one. Cars only cause deaths when they are misused... guns cause deaths when they are used as intended, lol.
thats what the laws in place already do, you apply for the gun because you want to use it for defense or hunting. Obviously laws differ from state to state, but that is already the intended feature. So you arent thinking of some new idea, just restating the already intended purpose of the laws.
Christ sake, gun debates....
