Mr. Daystar
In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
And drunk drives, and medical practitioners, killed even more.

Yes, you are wrong. Laws only effect the law abiding. Most crimes involving a gun, involve a stolen gun. The fucknut in Oregon STOLE the weapon he used....this last asshole went to New Jersey. If I'm not mistaken, they have VERY tough gun laws. Gun violence is RAMPANT in Chicago....obamas home state...they have some of the strictest gun laws anywhere. Sure, you can defend yourself with a small pistol, but some guns are for sport, competition, the pure enjoyment of shooting...why should my rights be violated because some fucktard snaps a gasket. You don't take away everyone's car, when a drunk driver kills a car filled with children. The media, and the gun grabbing socialist that run this country, will twist this, and whore their agenda as a means to disarm lawful citizens, NOT FOR THE SAFETY OF SOCIETY, BUT TO MAKE US HELPLESS VICTIMS, THAT MUST OBEY THEIR EVERY WHIM, AND DEMAND.
So yes, you are wrong
Prove it !
Get the official numbers.

Rev, don't bother. You're talking to a couple of people that would rather have their government make all of their decisions rather than themselves as individuals. It's in their mindset and there is no shifting it. They think their socialist model should be the world standard. We believe that the individual should have the power to live their lives as they see fit.
Let me ask Johan and Assari some questions one at a time. Yes or no, if you could own a gun would you have any interest in buying one?

I can't necessarily say if I think it's wrong or not, but I don't see the point. Why does somebody feel the need for an assault rifle or an automatic shotgun, whether it's for hunting or for protection, when there are other, smaller, not quite as easy to let loose with guns that can do the job okay? Where does this wanton lust for owning weaponry that doesn't need to be in the hands of anybody aside from the military come from?

Once again, The Onion says it better than I ever could.

Nope
But if someone would like to get one, I think it's OK if he proves himself to be responsible and psychologicaly stable enough.
This means :
Weapon-registration at the town hall (or the police).
Psychological evaluation prior to the issuance of a permit to carry weapons, evaluation renewed every 3 years with cancellation of the permit and obligation to return the weapon failure.
Keep the gun (no ammo) in a safe deposit box.
Keep apart the gun and ammunitions.
Mandatory training in the use, maintenance and storage of his gun at home.
Automatic guns banned
Guns in the hands of adult citizens, stable and responsible, yes. In the hands of anyone, even if they are unstable and iresponsible, no.
The guy responsible for this shooting used guns belonging to his mother. If they had been stored in a safe-deposit box with the ammunition stored separately, the shooting would not have happened.
The guy responsible for the Aurora shooting had bought its weapons and ammunition few weeks earlier on the internet. It certainly would not have passed the psychological evaluation. In addition, he used automatic guns capable of firing many cartridges very quickly with a single press of the trigger. Without this kind of weapon, there would surely have had less people killed
Bob, I have used a weapon when I was in the army 1995-1996.
After that I have not needed any weapons.
So I say no.
I understand that this is a cultural issue.
If you live in a dangerous country like America you need guns.
*sarcasm*
I understand that someone acquires a small pistol to protect themselves.
But assault rifle...:wtf:

Well, you do know that the shooter in the Connecticut school shooting incident used two "small" pistols, don't you? So I'm missing your point. :dunno:
He also had an AR-15. But according to what I've read, he only used the "small" pistols (a Glock 9mm and a Sig 9mm).

OK. But why would it be any better to get shot with a "small pistol" than a "big pistol"? I assume that you know that any caliber firearm can kill you. And as best I know, dead is still dead.
About 12.000 fatalities caused by drunk driving. Ok, it a little mor than the 10.000 death caused by guns.
Imagine what it would be if drunk drioving was legal.
Imagine what it would be if there was some stricts laws about guns.

I guess I'm an idealist. I imagine a world and a society where people have a respect for human life and the property of others. So the availability of firearms wouldn't matter. When I was younger, other than the shooting by Charles Whitman at the University of Texas, you just didn't have these sorts of things happening. And there was a wider variety of guns available to the public back then than now. Sure, there were armed robberies and crimes of passion. But when I was in high school, it was very common (especially around this time of the year... with hunting season in) to see a pickup truck parked in the student parking lot with a hunting rifle in the back window and maybe a pistol in the glovebox. One guy even wore a six-gun on his hip into the gym during basketball practice. Now, either of those things would prompt a SWAT team to be called. Now, if you piss somebody off, they won't fight you. They're more likely to pussy out, grab a gun and shoot you. And it doesn't matter how big you are, no man (or woman) is bulletproof.
It's just gotten so crazy... too crazy. And I don't know what the answer is. I wish I did. But I got nuthin'.

What we can do is have you go to a bar, pay for your drink at a maximum of 2 and return to the bar 3 days later for your drink. Which is currently the law to purchase a firearm now.

Great point Rey. One of things I've discussed with the better half is they removed thermometers that had mercury because of mental health issues, but there is an amount of mercury that now they say we can ingest. Is it possible because of mercury, lead and other items that now mental and emotional ills are more prevalent?
Powerful assault rifle is a very different thing than a small caliber single fire pistol.
