inane Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 They can and have.. it expired like 8 years ago and was not renewed. Studies released at that time showed no reason to. The federal assault weapon ban did not stop mass murders with those weapons. The Columbine kids that killed people proved that. I don't know in how many ways shapes or forms it needs to be pointed out and shown that weapon bans won't prevent murders in the US or prevent people from attaining these weapons.. but the one thing people are good at is believing something if they repeat it enough -- in this case, that banning guns or (lol..) removing the second amendment will suddenly make murderers stop being murderers..

Kamero89 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Then why is it so effective in other countries? If someone wants something badly enough, they'll do it. But at the very least make it difficult/illegal for them to do it. Why is that a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Referring to the tragic event in Connecticut on Friday (14 December), American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer said it could have been prevented if a prayer for ‘Christian values’ started each school day.

inane Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Well that's what I'm talking about, a federal law. Not banning everything, but these types of weapons. It seems like a no-brainer. No one needs these military grade weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inane Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I beg to differ: http://trib.com/news...3aaf64c900.html Love this consistent ignoring of how useful guns are when used properly. In this case, not even used at all. Safety prevails, thanks to the playing field being even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electro Rock Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I wouldn't go down this path. I'm sure there are dozens of examples of toddlers shooting other toddlers or say nfl players shooting themselves in the foot that could be used on the other side of this. I'm not sure about hand guns, but these automatic, military style weapons....there is no reason for normal people to own them. None. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Now I'm going to have to disagree with this. Most of the time a hand gun is used in this country it is a self-defense reason, or even just an enthusiast who likes to visit a firing range. When you say "If it's made to kill humans, citizens should not have one" that's pretty broad...I feel It is a matter of circumstance as to the discretion of the usage of the hand gun.

inane Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Interesting how you make up some fantasy scenario yet I'm the one in some bizarro world.. It likely wasn't everyone armed. It was one person. When you can address something without going to such extremes, you'll likely be taken a bit more seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ambien Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 What fantasy scenario? You're the one arguing you need a gun to protect yourself in the event someone attacks you with a gun. Then it's even right? So it's not much a fantasy to argue everyone should get a gun. Then everyone's even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inane Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 What I'm arguing was just backed up with an article, and the post before me was too. No one is suggesting every single person be armed. You're making this all up.. you should come back to Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
