[Poll] Gun control - How much?

[Suicune]

Sort of an option 3.5? Let people have guns (rifles, not pistols, or whatever you call them, I'm not knowledgeable in guns) who need them. Farmers, armed police (not standard, regular, bobbies on the beat), the army and armed guards (for people like the PM, or whoever). Let the citizenry own pistols (or handguns, again, not gun knowledgeable), with an extensive licencing process, and strict control.

Citizens don't need guns.

For what purpose, exactly?

We don't but we sure as hell want them.

For stopping someone who would harm them.

For stopping someone who would harm them.

Or, you could make sure the person who wants to harm them doesn't have the means to? Instead of 'giving a good guy a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun', make sure the bad guy never gets a gun?

No, citizens should have the right to buy rifles and shotguns. I even own those guns.

Yes, we do. I even own guns, and we do need them.

I didn't know guns were the only way to protect yourself from harm. Thanks for the update.

Black markets will always be a thing, but at least getting one of the black market is harder than just walking into to a shop and buying a gun.

Yeah, but it ain't going to stop the criminals from using them. We'll be using knives while the criminals steal away the guns.

If we never made any laws because people would do things illegally, we'd have no laws.

So, murder should be legal because people do it anyway?

Not really as long as you know people and know what you're doing. I may not be down with all the shit I used to be into but as long as I have a few thousand dollars I'd still be able to get a full auto AR-15 with no serial numbers easily.

Even if we somehow removed all guns from American society they'd still come across the border from Mexico. It would just be opening a new massive market.

No, but people will do it anyways.

Not just people with guns, any people that try to attck me.

Well obviously, but trying to use that as an argument against gun control is just stupid.

I don't own a gun. I have never handled a 'real gun', only a air rifle in a controlled environment, and I have never needed a gun to defend myself. And, for that matter, never need to defend myself at all really.
