There are no such things as "semiautomatic assault weapons"

its just a dumb relic from the past and some idiots belive it is linked to their freedom to have a gun

16 Jul 10:25

those laws were made by people who just came out of a civil war and thought if you give guns to everyone you could prevent a dictatorship

Something about the second amendment and patriotism and identity, gets really mixed up with some basic practical stuff....oh well

i just dont see how it can be hard to get that us gun laws kill people every day, it's not even open for discussion

I don't think gun control helps reduce the crime rate

16 Jul 10:23

Mechanizoid

still have violence

16 Jul 10:23

Amit Dutta

we're talking about gun control...not knife control, or general crime

16 Jul 10:23

Mechanizoid

those countries still have beatings and stabbing etc.

16 Jul 10:23

Amit Dutta

--

huh?

16 Jul 10:23

Mechanizoid

I mean it doesn't matter what you use to hurt someone, it still hurts.

16 Jul 10:23

Mechanizoid

--

yes, but what about death and violence that isn't using a firearm?

16 Jul 10:22

Mechanizoid

--

and all the worst shooting happen in so-called "gun free zones"

16 Jul 10:22

Amit Dutta

--

it's just a plain obvious stat

16 Jul 10:22

Mechanizoid

--

in the past, it has led to higher murder rates, not less

16 Jul 10:22

Amit Dutta

--

Every other country in the world that made it harder to own a gun has less gun related death and violence

16 Jul 10:22

Mechanizoid

--

well I don't agree with gun control

16 Jul 10:22

Jan Kloidt

you give people guns, people will die

16 Jul 10:21

Jan Kloidt

except having those laws isnt a guarantee in any way that shit doesnt hit the fan sooner or later

and it is far easier to have an accident driving an object with as much kinetic energy as a car in crowded areas
