GUN CONTROL

[RL...]

Rape is illegal. doesnt stop rape.
Murder is illegal. doesnt stop murder.
Theft is illegal. doesnt stop theft.

8,000 home invasions happen a day in the US. 60% of all rapes happen during home invasion.

Making guns illegal would only take the gun out of your hand, not the criminal. If the government ever decides to ban guns.... then i suggest we all round up our guns..............................


and use them on the government
Petit Family Killings News - The New York Times

read this article about a family that was killed during a home invasion. A man who witnessed his wife and daughters get raped and murdered, then beat and left for dead. No law will ever protect you. No matter how good the police ever become, they will never be at every single house every single hour of the day. You're welcome to leave your life up to chance if you want, i respect your decision. If someone breaks into your house, call the police. If they break into mine, call a coroner.

You and your wife have a much higher chance of dying from heart disease than getting raped or murdered in your house. In my 24 years of life I have never had my place of residence been broken into, and I've lived in more than 5 different homes, in more than 5 states. So think your "1 in 5" stats are little off.

In regards to that article, it's truly tragic, but its hard to say if a gun would've saved them. If they break in and shove their gun to your face, you won't have time to get your gun. Even if you did, most people who buy guns aren't trained to use them properly.

So to your own admission, putting more regulation or promoting gun control will not stop crime. Crimes will continue to happen with or without gun control... So what is the point of it?

It's not guns that kill people... it's people who kill other people. Guns are amoral.

I also said it's a good start, a step in the right direction. Of course gun control can't stop crime. No one can be so obtuse as to think like that. The point is that it should help deter some, not all, some criminals from doing heinous acts.

BANNING GUNS WONT SOLVE CRIME, SO WE SHOULD JUST GIVE MACHINE GUNS TO EVERYONE, FUCK IT

I already said the banning on guns isn't going to happen and I i know we can't uninvent the firearm. It's far too late to ban firearms at this point. BUT I think the world would be a better place without them. Just like I think the world would be a better place without religion, but that's for another thread.

The answer to stopping crime is you can't. As long as guns are in existence people are going to get shot, and that fact will never change. But adding more protective and security measures to the sale and ownership would be a good start.

Don't we already have protective and security measures in place?

knowing that the people have machine guns and everyone around them has guns... I'd say that would deter the feint of heart or atleast the wannabes. Very extreme case but not suggesting no regulation either. Would people still get killed? Of course but I'm not saying banning guns completely is an option either. What I am saying is that if we got smarter about it, we could fnd a much better solution instead of guns or no guns. There are current laws in place, why punish law abiding citizens by making them the bad guys?

Clearly you dont understand statistics.

I've had 3 incidents in my lifetime that required me to pull a gun on my property. More importantly than any of those 3, my fiance deterred someone attempting to break in the house when she was home alone by grabbing my shotgun. Strangely......... yelling "im calling the police" had no effect.... but cocking and aiming a shotgun made them run away. She wasnt properly trained to use a gun and didnt even have to fire a gun, the presence of a gun prevented an attack.

8000 home invasions happen a day in the US. That is not a made up statistic. If you wish to play the odds and say "it'll never happen to me". good for you, someone breaks into my house while i am here, they will die. I wont shed one tear for them. I'll attend their funeral for the sole purpose of telling their parents that they did a shitty job raising a criminal. After that, i'll treat myself to a steak dinner to celebrate the fact that the world has 1 less scumbag in it.
