Weapons in USA

[CLOUD 500]

^^^^^
What you suggest is paradoxical, if civilians cannot be trusted with guns what makes you think the government can be. What happened in Uvalde justifies citizens being armed. To put your life in the faith of police means you do not value your own life much or are seriously misguided about guns. People kill people, not guns. A gun is merely a tool like any other. A hundred years ago gun laws were not much lax but mass shootings were unheard off, so what changed? Explain this I bet you cannot. There is something else going on and it is not about guns. Progressives are just politically hijacking this to push their own agenda. Many other countries also protect the right to bear arms, so where are the mass shootings in those countries? I also bet you cannot answer this one. And one last thing, you also are misguided in thinking if more strict gun laws will do anything because it will not. Criminals do not follow the law, whenever there is prohibition the black market will fulfill those needs. And if you think mentally ill people will not be able to get a hold of guns, I suggest you think long and hard about that one because otherwise prohibition would have stopped all those regular people from getting heroin and fentanyl. The USA is one of the most Capitalistic countries in the world where the mighty dollar drives everything, a black market will always fulfill the needs where there is prohibition, I guarantee it.

Name a modern society that allows an 18 year old to buy an AR15 without restrictions. I bet you cannot answer this one.

I guess I won my bet. Lots of big statements but he is unable to back them up.

Update at High land Park:
7 dead and 35 injured.

He fired 70 times.
His father gave him weapons.

Your post does not deserve a response. I am still awaiting on Carmine Falcone's response. Do keep posting irrelevant posts, none of which will get a response. Perhaps you can answer to my original query I asked Carmine. I want facts, not more ideology. Time to back your big statements.

 

[gallantca]

Your post is nonsensical, it does not deserve a response. I am still waiting on Carmine Falcone's response.

Nonsensical ? You said "Many other countries also protect the right to bear arms".

I challenged you to name one that allows to purchase AR15s unrestricted like the US does. All I am asking is for you to back the "facts" you post. I ask you back them up with facts from the real world, not some imaginary world run by the UN and communists. I know that makes it hard.

You ask Carmine to "show mass shooting in other countries that protect the right to bear arms" but you can't name one of those countries. And i'm asking nonsensical questions ?

You never bother to read and comprehend do you? Always based on emotion. The right to bear arms does not mean to carry an assault rifle, it means to have the right to carry at least a handgun for personal defense (in other words any semi-automatic handgun which means one shot at a time or a pump action or bolt action rifle/shotgun). In Canada even using pepper spray is illegal. I never promoted assault rifles, you twisted what I wrote and this is the second time you do that! To sum things up when I say the right to bear arms, it means to have the right to possess a handgun for personal defense, a rifle for hunting, etc.. The way I see it no one needs any kind of automatic weapons for personal defense. These are not for self-defense, they are designed for the sole purpose to kill many quickly.

Debate what I asked with FACTS! I ask you too, a 100 years ago US gun laws were far more lax, where were the mass shootings back then? What has changed between now and then? Btw Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the US yet the psycho got an assault rifle attacking unarmed ppl that had no defense. Stop blaming guns, the psycho is to be blamed. He wanted to kill, if it was not an assault rifle he would have used something else. The facts point to some other issue going on in American society. Tackle the underlying issue instead of politically hijacking it.

NO, you specifically said

"Many other countries also protect the right to bear arms, so where are the mass shootings in those countries?"

those are your words

I simply asked you to name one. Can I make the question simpler ?


And BTW, if and when you name one, look at what restrictions that country places on weapons and maybe you'll understand why they have so fewer mass shootings.

 

[sene5hos]

Stop blaming guns, the psycho is to be blamed.

If an individual has a mental illness, depression, with a toy gun instead of an AR15, are there going to be deaths?

I posted this some time ago. I will not do the research for you. Look it up yourself. Like I said several countries protect the right to bear arms. Some countries on this list surprised me.

Right to keep and bear arms - Wikipedia

Yemen actually has more mass shootings then the US per capita. Difference? Is the media is talking about the US and sensationalizing it.

The psycho will rent a van and ram as many people as he can like the incel did in Toronto. If someone wants to kill they will find a way. Your point is mute.

Also this statement is nonsensical, a psycho will not use a toy gun.

Even if you ban guns, it will fail. That is the point. All you do is punish law abiding gun owners. When will people learn that prohibition is a big fail. See how well Prohibition Era worked in the 1920s. Did the war on drugs work? Those who want it can get heroin and cocaine easily. So banning guns will drive it all underground to the black market. The way the US is so Capitalistic, the Black market will thrive. Being a psycho does not mean stupid, he can be resourceful to get the gun illegally.

just type me 3 or 4 civilized countries that don't have gun restrictions.

It is restrictions you're against, right ? We should be able to carry automatic weapons to defend ourselves, right ?

You will find that even countries that allow to own a weapon have restrictions that reduce (not eliminate) the probability the weapon will be used to kill innocent people. The US could learn from these countries if they get their head out of their

So there is nothing to do.

We just have to watch the innocent die or suffer in the United States.

Cloud,
Yemen is a bad example, as they are one of the few countries that allow unrestricted access to guns, like the US, in fact they are the second most heavily armed country after the US! Thats y they have many mass shootings.
Most other countries with guns and "allow the right to bear arms" have sensible laws like licensing requirements.
Will it completely 100% eliminate mass shootings? Of course not, thats a strawman.
But you can bet itll at least make it harder for the crazies to obtain guns, while allow normal citizens to bear arms, and lower the number of gun deaths.

I am all for licensing requirements and background checks. Why I mention Yemen is because the point is that the problem is more deeply routed in society of that country. But you see how the media never talk about Yemen. Your last sentence is golden and it exactly what I am talking about. But some hardcore Liberals got very emotional and try to taunt and provoke me because it is the complete opposite of their political beliefs. I always base on facts, not emotions.

There is something to do, but a gun ban is not the right one. I think the gun ban is the easy way out, politicians want to appear as if they are doing something to get votes. To find a true solution now, that takes hard work. Got to tackle the real issues here. I get the impression that all these mass shootings are kind of suicide attempts, they know they will get killed or go to jail. So why do it? Still no one has been able to determine their motive.
