Weapons in USA

[Womaniser]

Probably not but what good does allowing them do?
Guns kill, period.
I agree banning them will not stop criminals from obtaining guns but luckily criminals usually kill other criminals it is the lunatics that do mass murders. Criminals are too busy trying to gain power and money and an advantage over other criminals.
Why make it so easy for these lunatics to obtain guns, yes they may and can use other means to kill but an assault rifle will always be first choice if it is readily available.

Legally possessing and using handguns in Canada is complicated. It is not USA.
Rarely legally possessed hanguns are used for murders.
Knives and other weapons are used as often for murders in Canada.
Drunk or under the infliuence of drugs or high speed drivers kill more than legal firearm owners.
Should motor vehicules be banned becaused they are responsible for death of innocent persons ?
Should ATV and snowmobiles be banned because they cause the death of hundred persons in Canada ?
They are mostly used for sport not transport or work.

I would rethink what you wrote. A lot of crimes in Canada has been caused by hanguns. Only difference is mass shootings by psychos is not common in Canada but then again the US has ten times the population of Canada so the chances for more crime is proportionally higher including mass shootings by psychos (the US is the center for social media I think there is some relation between that and mental dysfunction). Crimes are usually caused with purpose, there has been a rise of gang violence problems caused by poverty (also caused by government with mass immigration (high population creates more poverty and wealth inequality), excessive taxation, printing too many bills to send money to foreign countries, and victimless crimes like illegal drugs).

As per this stats it tells all. And also you see how rapidly gun violence has increased but that is normal the population in the big cities has increased exponentially. Population density is directly proportional to crime but many other factors are also involved. A handgun is also a tool and can be used for home defense. If someone breaks into your home how do you expect to defend yourself? In Canada these things are not so urgent as crime rates are much lower here but the way things are going on in the US I would say owning a gun there makes sense and it is ideal for home defense. These are all socioeconomic issues and has to be resolved to curb gun violence. More gun laws will not change a thing. Look at how Prohibition Era worked? Someone mentioned, politicians needs to stop thinking about themselves and their image and to get votes, they are serving the people and for once they should do the right thing (but that is wishful thinking).

NRA delegates reject calls for stricter gun controls as Trump speaks at convention.

You cannot outlaw tragedy, but we can make America safer.
That's what President Biden declared today - promising to take the necessary action to protect lives in the wake of Tuesday's school shooting in Texas.

 

[EagerBeaver]

The only way to make schools safer is a variation of what Trump is proposing. Each school has to hire an ex Green Beret type as full time armed security, equipped with guns, grenades, tear gas, taser and assault rifles. Think Rambo. And then these punk school shooters will be stopped as they will know somebody will go Rambo on them if they try anything. The best offense is a good defense. That's the solution. The Constitution says what it says about the right to bear arms and too late to change it now.

You can see many openly carried guns in Israel everywhere, but practically no gun violence except by the Arabs in terrorist attacks. Because of many armed and well-trained citizens, the response to any terrorist attack is almost instantaneous. The problem with gun violence is not in the guns but in the heads.

Yes I have heard these same arguments time and time again. about motor vehicles, complete bull shit.
Drivers don’t go looking for people to kill, it is an accident, huge difference, people with guns in their hands do
First time anybody brought up snow mobiles though good thing you didn’t compare it to Australia.
Guns are designed to kill whether it is an animal or human being period, I have no use for any guns and wouldn’t mind if they were wiped off the face of the earth.
Perhaps we should be sending snowmobiles and Honda Civics to the Ukraine.

You actually think Israel is a safe place to be and it is because everyone has firearms.
Terrorists don’t give a fuck about it they are willing to die for their cause, suicide bombers are not exactly deterred by citizens carrying guns.
There is a terrorist attack just about every week.
I have been there a couple of times on business, last time it was a company just outside Haifa.
Stayed at Hotel in a small town 20km out as I thought it would be safer. Two days after I was home the restaurant across the street was blown up by a suicide bomber the one where we ate at several times.
It was really strange to see gorgeous young women with assault rifles as if they were carrying purses, that I admit.
Another big difference is these women are militarily trained in the use of these weapons and not a bunch of red necks going to a rally.

Yes the US is full of Rambo types most of them as nuts as the punk shooters.
Green Beret at every school, mall, restaurant, sports event, what else out side each church, laundry mat kindergarten, daycare
What a wonderful place to bring up a family and children.
Perhaps maybe the fucked up political parties and politicians can instead put aside their differences and their hunger for power, money and control and get together and establish some laws and controls for guns as well as mental illness to protect their country and their citizens, what a fucking novel idea that is,

Will an assault weapon ban stop these tragedies? Negative. They will just cause a black market to develop and the Dark Web is already full of such markets, and these incel/wannabe school shooter types all know where to go on the Dark Web to find what they need.

What you have to understand is that these individuals are cowards, and cowards are frightened by Rambo types with the same weapons as they have a real man actually on the trigger. It's called the deterrence rationale, perhaps you never heard of that, but another fucking novel idea. But one that will actually work.

Exactly my point. If they followed the Liberal narrative the terrorists would take over. This is a perfect case to see that it is not a gun problem this is a terrorist problem and to be fully armed is for self-defense. A gun is a tool. In Israel military service is mandatory. As with the US especially with so many mass shootings the right to bear arms is practical.

 

[CLOUD 500]

The stats do not lie. Mass shootings is almost always an emotional mental problem and I consider this as a suicide attempt. As per the stats suicide and gangs is the top cause for gun violence. The Liberal narrative is false. America does not have a gun problem, they have a gang and emotional health problem.

When I read sentences like that, yes I have emotions, but I don't have gun.

That is total BS Rambos everywhere instead of gun control and banning all assault rifles everywhere in the US.
Only someone from the US can come up with something like this, it is no wonder that it is a fucked up country with millions of guns everywhere and daily mass shootings there was another one Saturday night they didn’t use snowmobiles.
Yes put more guns in the hands of lunatic Rambo types.
Why is it that this type of gun violence is happening 100 times more in the US than any other country compared to population.
Is it because the US has that much more lunatics per capita than any other country, I would say they have more but not by that much.
What they do have is 50% of all the firearms in the hands of private citizens in the world, there lies your fucking problem and politicians, citizens still hide their heads in the sand and keep coming up with these bull shit arguments instead of addressing the problem.
A country out of control and still will never look in the mirror.

The fiction that gun control will work is just that, total fiction. It's not effective because you cannot control the black markets. Schools are low hanging fruit for incells/mentally unwell persons because they are full of harmless students and teachers. What needs to change is to change the quality of schools as being low hanging fruit targets.

What will control the problem is raw displays of defensive power like this: do you really think some cowardly, emotionally troubled incel wants to have to face and have to deal with this:

You are living in your own private little dreamland and have watched maybe one too many movies.
How many times have you ventured out of the US and seen how the rest of the world lives and behaves besides coming to Montreal for pussy.
How an educated man can have views like this is mind boggling.
Name one other country in the civilized world that has the magnitude of gun violence per population capita that the US has.
Does Canada, Germany, Australia, France, Spain, New Zealand, Japan, Norway, Sweden, etc… I can go on for ever.
What they do have is gun control and very few guns in the hands of private citizens.
Is their crime rate, murder rate anywhere near the US , no why is that.
