I'm curious as to your views on these people, you seem to be suggesting that just wanting a gun is a sign of mental derangement.
You`re an absolute plank.
:yeees: I want a gun
People assuming crap, again? budda?
I really have no idea what you mean, sorry.
"I'm curious as to your views on these people, you seem to be suggesting that just wanting a gun is a sign of mental derangement"
and I replied to that comment
meaning that you are saying people are assuming crap/bollox?
Yes, I think they are.
I do definitely think guns should be controlled, but mearly holding one doesnt turn you into a killer, there is a massive social aspect to it.
Canada has loads of guns, as do the Swiss, but their crime is much lower than the US, and the South Africans are even worse.
Falling into this category, a well known rapper sung, guns don't kill people, people do
Granted, but having wide spread unlicenced access to guns makes people killing people a lot easier.
Its very unlikely any background checks or periods of waiting before you get your gun would make any difference what so ever in the US.
The second hand market is almost totally unregulated, I dont know whether it has changed but up until recently as long as under 50% of your income came from trading guns you didnt need to declare it to anyone (except the tax man).
Very true, but then states who govern according to their set of morals rarely get it any better.
really ? I thought they did thst already but trouble still happens or "human error" hapens and the checks aren't done.
and from the little i know anyone can turn into one and we'd all say (the sychiatrest included) "well fancy that we'd never have guessed" but by then he's killed 20 students a couple of teachers and himself
And an escalation of gun ownership by the general public will only result in pretty much all criminals, from pickpockets to burglars, carrying a gun too.
While I respect that some rights are being infringed, the cost is simply too great IMO.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn
next.
as opposed to New Labour
So because any one of us without warning could turn into a mass killer guns should be outlawed?
What would happen if the aliens attacked and we had a limited supply of guns? :yeees:
Theres no reason to outlaw guns really, just crack down on the people who own them, if I owned one it would be mass murder
Given our puny weapons I assume we would all die very quickly. Guns really arent any more than just portable cannons, our technology hasnt really moved all that far since the middle ages.
theres little need for most of us to carry guns, and using them as bait for car sales is immoral are they buying the car or the gun ? what do they want the gun for ? if they wanted a gun they'd go and buy one. its like tescos saying for every 10'000 club card points you earn you can have a gun what do you thinkwould happen then ? hey I might even get the gun !

I found the statement by one of the dissenters interesting.
Perhaps Justice Stevens would do well to read the legal ramblings of Thomas Jefferson for self enlightenment
