I'm not a fan of guns but if you really think restrictions or banning them is going to make a difference...you're a dumbass. Idk how many times it needs to be said....CRIMINALS, MURDERS ETC WILL FIND A WAY TO GET AHOLD OF ANYTHING....all the bans and restrictions in the world is not going to stop it...in fact, I bet there would be a rise in other means of mass killings....like poison, bombs, etc....which will kill a lot more people ....which scares me more than someone owning a gun.
Simple: make poison, bombs absolutely impossible for access. That can be done. And even if it cannot be done, at least, the access will be heavily restrained. Not all murderers are that sharp anyway. There will be someone who could access, that's possible, but the stat will surely go down.
That's better than doing nothing.
That's not going to stop anyone....if you have money and access to the interent....you can get your hands on anything and people will.
👆 look at what he said.
Also don’t you guys literally sell guns at Walmart?? Like what on earth? Obviously the more easily available the more it happens. This isn’t rocket science it’s marketing 101.
Ever heard of the deep web, black market...I'm sure there are other places as well....its illogical to think someone won't find a way.
? I think you might not have understood what I said. I think it should be made as hard as possible not available everywhere you look. I like the restricting ammunition idea that makes a lot of sense at the very least. Just because you can’t solve 100% doesn’t give you an excuse not to solve 80% .
No...I think you may have misunderstood me. Try as you might and there is nothing wrong with trying but it will not stop criminals, murders and the like from finding ways and other means of killing or harming others.
It will not stop 100% . It will stop a significant portion. No one is saying anything different.
So you really believe....banning or restrictions is going to stop a portion of criminals and murders? Which portion exactly?
The hot headed impulsive type. You know the type to grab an available gun in the heat of the moment, that wouldn’t have been there with gun restriction?
Data has given us a lot of information on how easily susceptible we are to marketing and persuasion. You might not think so but having any product available everywhere will increase its likelihood of being purchased. The more people with guns the more wives shot the more accidental deaths the more the idea of using the gun is less vague idea and more easily executable plan.
You can look to other countries statistics to see how less available guns have resulted in not always 100% reduction but a significant reduction. It’s just data. 🤷♀️ I’d pull it for you but I’m just getting ready to go out and I’m sure you can find it for yourself!
Oh is this data that you personally conducted or that you saw on Facebook? You know most countries distort their data on things to save face....right?
Well now that’s just insulting. I don’t even have Facebook but I will go more in depth later if you still wish and if you really don’t know where to look for yourself 😬 nothing to say on my other points? I really don’t think I’m saying anything that doesn’t make obvious sense. It’s not unreasonable to expect more than is currently being done. I should make clear I have nothing against you personally... I just think believing nothing could possibly effect the statistics of such a large country at all is actually quite a bizarre thing to be persuaded of in 2019 and I just don’t know how you’ve come to that conclusion. Sorry I’ll get back to you later
Dont be condescending...it isn't cute.
It doesn't matter where you saw it...unless you conducted it personally...I dont understand how you could believe it to be 100% truth.
What other points? Knives are easily accessible (even more so) and used daily in killing others too....so do you want to ban or restrict access to them? Pressure cookers can be easily made into bombs....restrict access? *fill in the blank of anything a criminal or murder will find and get their hands on here*.....restrict access?
Guns aren't the problem....its PEOPLE and their actions.....restrict access? (I personally try this one as much as possible lol)
Not everyone owns a gun and not all gun owners are committing murders. You're blaming an inanimate object instead of the why and actions of others. And again...I'm not even a fan of guns but even I can see that.
Yet not everyone is a wreckless driver n they mandated seatbelts n airbagsclick to expand
doesn't stop people from not using seatbelts and in newer vehicles....turning airbags off...older vehicles, disabling them.....

Tell me a good reason ak 47 should be owne by the lay person
I too, question the reason for this.
I am not against people owning or having guns. But there is no reason in my mind to own an assault rifle.
I am very much pro that things need to change, it's too easy for people that shouldn't get their hands on weapons.
you can ban guns all you'd like. they will just use knives. ban knives, they'll use hammers. ban hammers, they'll use rocks. etc. guns are not the problem. psychopaths are. a murderer will always find ways to murder.

Not all people are the same. Not everyone is brilliant and could find ways whatever may be the situation. Not everyone has money. Not everyone goes to the internet. Not everyone is minor. Not everyone is demented.
But everyone can easily access guns.
Everyone!!!
Even if you restrict gun sales in one state, people can go to the next state and buy guns
For example we have heavy taxes in WA for liquor
Every time I’m in duty free I buy liquor
Or when anybody goes to Portland Oregon they take liquor orders
I try very hard not to buy liquor in Washington state
It's not the same thing (it's not a legit comparison). If they ban guns in your state - and you "smuggle one from another state (cause you won't be allowed to just carry it around in your bag - like alcohol)" - you're committing a crime. If gun laws become serious in your state (like they are in countries like mine / which btw it's as big as an American state) - you'll go to jail if they catch you with a gunclick to expand

That's true, and such attacks have happened. I remember hearing about some...in Japan, I think? But that narrows the number of people who would have the ability and nerve to pull it off. I'd say that a 1-minute automatic weapon shooting would be more deadly than a 1-minute knife attack 99 times out of a 100.click to expand
wrong. 100 times out of 100. simply because guns have power and range that knives don't have. it's apples and oranges, really.

If only you can change your gun laws, this madness would finally cease...
As they say, when you give power to a person, they will have the easy proclivity to abuse it.
I think the main cause for all the shootings lies in your absurdly easy gun restrictions.

Guns are both good and bad, depending on who is holding it.
You put it like a true American. Not that different than... "Murder is both good and bad, depending on who you're killing." It's ok the kill even innocent women and children - to bomb them into million of pieces "just to send a message..." That would only be bad (outrageous even) - if the tables would turn (if you'd get a taste if your own medicine).
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2019/06/04/american-cult-bombing-and-endless-war
"From Syria to Yemen in the Middle East, Libya to Somalia in Africa, Afghanistan to Pakistan in South Asia, an American aerial curtain has descended across a huge swath of the planet. Its stated purpose: combatting terrorism. Its primary method: constant surveillance and bombing -- and yet more bombing. Its political benefit: minimizing the number of U.S. “boots on the ground” and so American casualties in the never-ending war on terror, as well as any public outcry about Washington’s many conflicts. Its economic benefit: plenty of high-profit business for weapons makers for whom the president can now declare a national security emergency whenever he likes and so sell their warplanes and munitions to preferred dictatorships in the Middle East (no congressional approval required). Its reality for various foreign peoples: a steady diet of “Made in USA” bombs and missiles bursting here, there, and everywhere.
Think of all this as a cult of bombing on a global scale. America’s wars are increasingly waged from the air, not on the ground, a reality that makes the prospect of ending them ever more daunting. The question is: What’s driving this process?
For many of America’s decision-makers, air power has clearly become something of an abstraction. After all, except for the 9/11 attacks by those four hijacked commercial airliners, Americans haven’t been the target of such strikes since World War II. On Washington’s battlefields across the Greater Middle East and northern Africa, air power is always almost literally a one-way affair. There are no enemy air forces or significant air defenses. The skies are the exclusive property of the U.S. Air Force (and allied air forces), which means that we’re no longer talking about “war” in the normal sense. No wonder Washington policymakers and military officials see it as our strong suit, our asymmetrical advantage, our way of settling scores with evildoers, real and imagined.
Bombs away!
In a bizarre fashion, you might even say that, in the twenty-first century, the bomb and missile count replaced the Vietnam-era body count as a metric of (false) progress. Using data supplied by the U.S. military, the Council on Foreign Relations estimated that the U.S. dropped at least 26,172 bombs in seven countries in 2016, the bulk of them in Iraq and Syria. Against Raqqa alone, ISIS’s “capital,” the U.S. and its allies dropped more than 20,000 bombs in 2017, reducing that provincial Syrian city to literal rubble. Combined with artillery fire, the bombing of Raqqa killed more than 1,600 civilians, according to Amnesty International."

on paper, and supposedly on reality, there's one single gun store in the entire country, imagine that.
but what are the cops suppose to do? just detain a guy carrying a rifle?
but if you have never experience that weird sensation of something being really fucked up that you get when you realize the criminal got a rifle, sometimes an ak, while the law enforcement got a handgun, in many cases a 9mm, and just the though of asking that dude for help make you pity him, you wont understand how fucked the civilians life there is.
they have to call the military to deal with a drug cartel, a fucking dystopia.

Guns are both good and bad, depending on who is holding it.
You put it like a true American. Not that different than... "Murder is both good and bad, depending on who you're killing." It's ok the kill even innocent women and children - to bomb them into million of pieces "just to send a message..." That would only be bad (outrageous even) - if the tables would turn (if you'd get a taste if your own medicine).
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2019/06/04/american-cult-bombing-and-endless-war
"From Syria to Yemen in the Middle East, Libya to Somalia in Africa, Afghanistan to Pakistan in South Asia, an American aerial curtain has descended across a huge swath of the planet. Its stated purpose: combatting terrorism. Its primary method: constant surveillance and bombing -- and yet more bombing. Its political benefit: minimizing the number of U.S. “boots on the ground” and so American casualties in the never-ending war on terror, as well as any public outcry about Washington’s many conflicts. Its economic benefit: plenty of high-profit business for weapons makers for whom the president can now declare a national security emergency whenever he likes and so sell their warplanes and munitions to preferred dictatorships in the Middle East (no congressional approval required). Its reality for various foreign peoples: a steady diet of “Made in USA” bombs and missiles bursting here, there, and everywhere.
Think of all this as a cult of bombing on a global scale. America’s wars are increasingly waged from the air, not on the ground, a reality that makes the prospect of ending them ever more daunting. The question is: What’s driving this process?
For many of America’s decision-makers, air power has clearly become something of an abstraction. After all, except for the 9/11 attacks by those four hijacked commercial airliners, Americans haven’t been the target of such strikes since World War II. On Washington’s battlefields across the Greater Middle East and northern Africa, air power is always almost literally a one-way affair. There are no enemy air forces or significant air defenses. The skies are the exclusive property of the U.S. Air Force (and allied air forces), which means that we’re no longer talking about “war” in the normal sense. No wonder Washington policymakers and military officials see it as our strong suit, our asymmetrical advantage, our way of settling scores with evildoers, real and imagined.
Bombs away!
In a bizarre fashion, you might even say that, in the twenty-first century, the bomb and missile count replaced the Vietnam-era body count as a metric of (false) progress. Using data supplied by the U.S. military, the Council on Foreign Relations estimated that the U.S. dropped at least 26,172 bombs in seven countries in 2016, the bulk of them in Iraq and Syria. Against Raqqa alone, ISIS’s “capital,” the U.S. and its allies dropped more than 20,000 bombs in 2017, reducing that provincial Syrian city to literal rubble. Combined with artillery fire, the bombing of Raqqa killed more than 1,600 civilians, according to Amnesty International."

Well... it's not that uncommon for unscrupulous people to justify any kind of malice - if that works in their favor (as the saying goes "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"). At least for the time being (i keep hearing of people who changed their mind - after a family member end-up among the victims of a shooting).
How many innocent people died - for every civilian that used his weapon in self defense? 1000 to 1? 10.000 to 1? 100.000 to 1? 1.000.000 to 1? if you're to be honest... do you even care (or more like... fuck them)?! Even if millions die - as longs as you get to keep your precious toy - you seem to be more than ok with that (same goes for every weapon supporter). As mentioned in above parentheses... maybe if one day - you'll get a call from the police about your son being involved in a shooting (maybe just playing with a friend like they do it in the movies - after all "weapons are cool" ) - you might reconsider. Since then - this issue would hit close to home (unless they're affect directly - some people will never learn any better... or care).

Bull shit. "Everybodies" hearts went out to victims for like 20 years now.
The problem is the younger generation got manipulated by fake ideas (right, left, socialism, capitalism, cultural Marxism, religion, political parties, lbtg, banks, corporations, organizations pushing agendas, you name it).
Time to actually find the causes for all the aggression. Don't tell me it's sick people with guns. These sick people don't grow on trees. Antifa/Proud Prayer/Etc did not come from nowhere. Another Civil War is coming if we don't stop this madness. The shooting in the malls/schools that's just extreme incidents by maniacs that grew on that aggression.
People need to stop watching TV, politics, religion and start thinking for themselves. Soon there will be a revolution/contr revolution or both in USA.

bill clinton ban expired and the arms companies don't want it renewed, but I think the worse shooting during the ban was columbine, and 13 people died in that, so yeah, the gun DO matter, and they were two shooters.
I kinda prefer it to happen anywhere but schools.... but I shouldn't accept that mentality, that's the new low point JFC.

I’ve had 3 really good friends die from gun related injuries. I saw countless people shot in Afghanistan.
Never once did I blame the gun.
I would however like to see arrests made having to do with anything ARMED get an automatic death penalty. That should make people think twice before pulling a triggerclick to expand
I believe there are more good people than bad people out there.
so why do the "good" people need to shoot so many "good" bullets to so few "bad" people? while this only makes it easy for the bad people to be able to shoot more to good people.
I don't blame the guns but I wont trust most civilians with one, why do they need more than 6 bullets anyway?

If only you can change your gun laws, this madness would finally cease...
As they say, when you give power to a person, they will have the easy proclivity to abuse it.
I think the main cause for all the shootings lies in your absurdly easy gun restrictions.
It would only get 100 times worse. We aren't talking about the rest of the world. This is America, home of the mentally unstable.
This is sad, but I'll publicly admit it. Guns are at the least the most humane way to execute innocent people. Take that away and these lunatics will just start making bombs, and methods of mass killing that are 100 times more disgusting then a gun. It's sad I have to admit that, but its true. Solving the issue isn't taking away guns. It's stopping the people before they go crazy.

The only guy i know - whom went as a soldier in Afghanistan... came back with PTSD after witnessing those type of horrors... I guess murder is not for everyone (while for others is like a walk in the park). It is with what it is, after all... even psychopaths have a place in this world - as long as their functional members of a given society. Tho, to bad for Americans - that most of them love guns and are whiling to risk, accept and justify any amount of deaths - as long as they get to keep them.
I get that guns don't work on their own - but they're the easiest and most comfortable option to hurt others (even feeling "cool" about it - a common attitude among most of this shooters). And this guys would do it - even if there was a death penalty (since many of those - actually had that in mind... to kill themselves after committing the deed). Same goes for children "that play with guns (since they were just playing pretend - it's not like they intended to shot their best friend)".

Dont be condescending...it isn't cute.
It doesn't matter where you saw it...unless you conducted it personally...I dont understand how you could believe it to be 100% truth.
What other points? Knives are easily accessible (even more so) and used daily in killing others too....so do you want to ban or restrict access to them? Pressure cookers can be easily made into bombs....restrict access? *fill in the blank of anything a criminal or murder will find and get their hands on here*.....restrict access?
Guns aren't the problem....its PEOPLE and their actions.....restrict access? (I personally try this one as much as possible lol)
Not everyone owns a gun and not all gun owners are committing murders. You're blaming an inanimate object instead of the why and actions of others. And again...I'm not even a fan of guns but even I can see that.
