Nothing to discuss Violator. Spot on.
None of my weapons have killed anything or anyone.
And I'm not Muslim.
Not all Muslims are bad. Well, an inanimate object is neither good nor bad. It's a tool. A bad craftsman blames his tools... Whole 'nother subject...
Less Muslims=Less gun violence? Meh. Not sure. Whole lotta black on black murder going on in the ghettos.
But yes, you are correct. Criminals DGAF about laws. They will get guns and do what they do.
This is what I've said countless times, they are simply tools. What one does with them makes them good/bad.
Chicago is the perfect example of that. Ban all guns and they'll just come in from somewhere else. We can't do what Australia did, mainly because they live on a freaking island and are somewhat isolated. That, and they have a completely different attitude towards firearms. They still have guns, they just don't get all horny about them.
I agree with what you say, but a line has to be drawn somewhere concerning who gets them and how to enforce it. Like all rights, you have them until it's been proven that you can't use them responsibly.
But why should the rights of law abiding citizens be taken away because of those who act irresponsibly?
Pardon the jumbled mess this reply may be, lots of posts to take in at once.
I feel for you lot, being so scared you have to carry a gun around to feel safe, and the constant feeling of needing to protect your self:lmao:
If the constant mass shootings don't change your views, dunno what will :shock:
We'll start with this. Whenever a gun discussion, this always comes up. I don't understand why people seem to think that those wanting to keep their guns are some paranoid cowards who undoubtedly have to have a gun on their person to feel safe. It's called being prepared. I'm no hiker, but I'd imagine that most take extra food/water along, ya know...just in case. Which is the exact same reason why people carry, just in case. That concert hall in Paris-100's of patrons, 2 shooters. Perfect example of where just in case would've saved lives. San Bernardino, same case.
While the difference is vastly different, at it's core, it applies, to me. Gay marriage. I can't recall how many times I heard/read/saw people shouting to all who would listen, "it's our(their) right!" and people applaud them for standing up for & demanding rights afforded to them. Why should it be any different to us who want to carry our guns?
As for loophole-whether or not it's real- I don't know, as I've never been to a gun show. IF that is actually happening, then of course it has to stop. But, as mentioned by a few people, private sales are private sales, regardless of they take place at a gun show or someone's living room. So, how do we deal with that?
Mental health. Nobody wants to deal with problems these days. "give them a pill" is today's prognosis. I can't even count the number of pill commercials I see for everything under the sun. Another problem is more often than not, the people who do the shooting go under the radar-nobody knew they were suffering- or they say something, usually 'net wise, and people around them reply, "didn't thnk they were serious". There's that 'see something, say something' rearing it's ugly head. "oh no! I don't want to be seen as a racist or that I fear Muslims!" *facepalm*
I think that's it for now.
