None of them buy new high-tech padlocks or install secure doors or find efficient non-lethal methods of protecting themselves. They just like guns. It's not about defense, it's about these fun little machines that look cool but can kill.
2. More guns will not solve gun violence. More guns will mean more gun violence. Adding more problems in no way will lead you to a solution.
3. The government has weapons far beyond what any citizen can access legally. They also have trained forces who have killed and will kill again. Using your little AR 15 to stop a cruise missile aimed towards your head is completely futile.
4. Gun control worked in Australia. In the 10 years before they banned the guns, there were 16 massacres. Since then (1996) there hasn't been a single massacre.
So why do these people decide to stay indoctrinated? The NRA is one of the scariest lobbyists out there. The NRA not only has donations from crazy paranoid conservative nuts, they also get money from firearms corporations.
Anyways, I would personally argue that firearms only instill fear and make it feel like a war zone. Any civilized intelligent human being would use rational discourse to solve a problem. These are not civilized, not intelligent, and their ability to have empathy is far from human. Just think about it: these people would rather have children die at schools than have their toys taken from them.
Sick inhumane bastards.
1. -Agreed.
2. -Agreed.
3. -Insurgents the world over would like to have a word with you...although - granted, the weapon of choice is the ak-series, and "re-appropriated" unexploded ords.
4. -And for 16 massacres, the government exerted quite a bit of power. Whether or not it worked has to do with what you hope to achieve. I thought we were talking about curbing gun violence..not trying to hedge our bet against the odd nutjob? 16 massacres may be a big effect,in australia..I don't know. Here - it's a drop in tjhe bucket...statistically insignificant...as those types of crimes are not in any way a meaningful portion of our overall numbers. Sounds good though. I'd prefer a solution that both allowed me to own my property - especially considering that I've never, personally, massacred any schoolchildren...but that -also- reduces gun crimes. Something along the lines of....oh...enforcing our gun laws -rather than a ban. We' have to enforce the ban anyway, so it's the same work in either case.....
