Those high prices have got to come down, sorry couldn’t resist.
Seriously though why this insane love of fire arms in the US I will never understand.
An american teenager has been condemned to life in prison for the murder of 4 schoolmates in 2021.
He brought the 9mm pistol his parents gave him for his coming 15 years old anniversary.
He also injured 6 teenagers and his teacher.
His parents are indicted for involontary murders.
He is a white teenager from Michigan.
His teachers had been informed of their son search on pistol ammo but they didn't do nothing.
Israel is trying to arm his population to counter Hamas attacks.
Americans arm themselves to counter attacks by Americans.
Small difference but same effect !
Big help by the Supreme Court, Bump Stocks on semi-auto assault type rifles (AR-15, AK-47) that literally transform them in Full Auto firearms were prohibited during Trump Presidency.
The SC Judges reversed the ban.
Theses Bump Stocks were used by the Mass Murdered in Las Vegas that killed 60 and injured hundreds others during a country music festival.
Based on a technicality, the trigger must be moved for each shot. However, the shooter doesn't need to pull the trigger after the first shot, the Bump Stock does the job.
There videos on Youtube that show how it works.
Combine that with high capacity magazines and you have a weapon that should never be in the hands of Civilians.
Laws are ineffective against those who break them and enacting legal bans only hurt law-abiding citizens.
It’s not a coincidence that most mass shooters choose locations that have been designated as gun-free zones.
What exactly is “high” capacity? And if I am not a criminal why should it matter how many rounds my magazines hold? Maybe I need those extra shots to defend myself against multiple attackers. If I'm being attacked my assailant(s) likely planned their actions and have plenty of ammunition on hand.
In any case, putting restrictions on the responsible gun owner is not a viable solution.
I’m presently living in a city where you may find yourself on hold when calling 911, where the police recommend that you are prepared to defend yourself because they can’t respond quickly, you cannot impose a bunch of laws that will only be respected by the good guys. It would be all lovely and utopian if by declaring a law everyone would magically follow same but we all know this is not reality.
I mostly agree with you. I am a sport shooter and hunted most of my life small game, varmint and big game.
My government put almost extreme restrictions on the rights of law abiding citizens because he believes that criminals will respect them.
You may know where I live.
there is however a proven fact it is that there is infinetely more deaths and injuries by firearms in countries with the lowest restrictions on types of firearms, magazines capacity.
The best examples are our South neighbours, Usa and Mexico.
When did you hear of my shooting in schools in Canada ? Firearms don't kill by themselves, crazy peoples use them.
