GUN CONTROL!

[Vazdania]

I just think we ought to have more control in big cities than in Rural areas.

I can agree with that.

YAY!!!! JOY AND HUGS AND WILD TACKLE HUGS THROUGH OUT THE LAND!!!

[Dracoria]

And if that were free?

I just think we ought to have more control in big cities than in Rural areas.

Couldn't that be seen as racist, as anything else that affects urbanites over ruralites?

[Vazdania]

The strongest weapon anyone (unauthorized civilians being "anyone") should own is a pistol. Specifically, a Mauser.

I'm gonna take the third option here and say I'd rather not be shot by any kind of ammo. Expanding, FMJ, marshmallow, nothing.
I'm a delicate and fragile flower.

I second þat.

AH! I see you are part of the order of the Thorn! Good to know there are others.

No it means you have more reason to use guns in rural regions

Absolutely not.

And yet the UK numbers say nothing about how many were by gun. Instead an irrelevant gender difference was cited.

Because it just proves that by gun doesn't matter, and suicidal people are going to find ways to kill themselves.

And I question anybody who says that suicide by gun is easier, because it really isn't.

Yeah, suicide by gun is very difficult, and in all truth you pussy out most of the time
As a nerdy bisexual pagan, I know this from experience

Oh boy, where do I begin?

I never really ever liked guns, or the gun culture that permeated the US. I always avoided first person shooters in preference for strategy games, and I never hunted. I believe I had only used a gun ever once, along with a bow and arrow, but that was so long ago my memory is fuzzy.

However as a libertarian I have certain principles, and keeping guns legal as opposed to banning them would be preferable, since I do not believe in "banning" anything, if a little bit of freedom has to be sacrificed for safety, I'd always go for keeping freedom. That being said, I do believe action must be taken to reduce guns using grassroots activism about the dangerous of guns and combatting "gun culture" wherever it arises, if not with legislation than with words and protest. The Newtown incident had spurred many people into giving up their guns voluntarily. Although I don't believe we should wait until another incident arises, I do think we should encourage more people to voluntarily give up their guns, as it is for the best.

And that is all I have to say on this topic.

A libertarian with an actual stance on gun control!
Sorry I'm used to a maniac who says the govt should stay out of business, but then guns comes up and it's all guns need to be destroyed, why doesn't the govt do more

Your arguement doesn't prove anything.

So in other words to hell with city folks who want to shoot guns recreationally, right?

[A Bubble]

Hand guns can be quite easy to concel and as you said, statistically hand guns kill more people.
There is no valid use for a fully automatic assault rifle.
Mid-range shot guns will well and are more sensible.

Yes, that is why their should be stricter laws for hand guns in large cities

So? People hunt moose and bears you know.

fine, lets discuss pools. Pools kill thousands of people a year in the US through accidental drownings. Where as all long guns, including the "evil" AR-15, killed less than 400 in 2011. Should the federal government step in and restrict your right to own a pool?

Oh, that's right, you don't have a constitutional right to own a pool. Or a car, or a dog, or bees, or hammers, or lumber, or any of the other hundreds of things that kill far more people every year than guns.

Neither pools nor dogs nor cars nor bees nor hammers were designed to be weapons. Guns are. Target shooting is an after-effect, essentially. And you gave the point away in your second sentence with the word "accidental." That's what those deaths are.

The liberal media just covers up stories of mass drownings, silly.

[Sammy Ryden]

There should definitely be gun control. It's kind of scary thinking about someone having an M16 in their home, even if they're very careful with it. I just don't like the thought of people being able to freely own an automatic weapon. I'm totally fine with people having a small hunting rifle, or a 20 gage shotgun for clay pigeons.

You can also point out, how well that works in cities like chicago, detroit, etc.

So if the majority of firearms deaths were accidental you would favor firearms be regulated in a similar matter as pools ?

I see, so people need to forgo their right, because of your fear? How does my ownership of such things affect you right now?

[Gauthier]

Wow. Four.

As opposed to...checking FBI...928 by guns.

"Moreover, they commonly kill livestock"
There was more than one point in that post.

If the livestock want to feel protected, they can go buy guns themselves.
