That would absolutly never pass, do you know how many hunters there are in the world? If every hunter had to go through a B.S. coarse and own a permit to use a shotgun, there would be an outrage. There's no way that would work in anyones opinion, whether for or against guns
i had to have a safty cours to get my gun permit

A safety course and some general training on how to use a gun would be nice requirements for a handgun license. It would probably decrease accidental handgun deaths here. I think such requirements would be better enforced by state and local laws rather than by the federal government, however.

VERY WELL SAID SIR, +1
Finaly someone else on this fucking forum has the common sense to realize that GUN CONTROL DOESN'T WORK!!
It's been shown to fail in countless other countries, and!!! one fact that most people overlook, is gun control and "outlawing guns" in general, is one of the FIRST steps to creating a communist country!!!
Do you know one of the first things Hitler did before he took over half the world? He disarmed all the sensible citizens of his country so that his military would have an easy time taking over and killing them.

I've got your back on this one Phantom.

Actually he has said that they are god and bad. Communist coutries arent formed in that way. Hitler was a facist and not a communist thus disproving your last point.

Your overlooking the point here, killing people is a crime, and i can garentee the crime is less likely to be commited if you think your target is armed. Therefore, less people would try to rob you or kill you, and you would have a country/state is low crime rates.

Look at Texas for example, anyone there can own a gun, and there crime rates? LOW! But you take a place like New York City, where the average person cannot carry a weapon, and they get mugged and shot. Yet the scumbag gangsters still have weapons, BECAUSE THERE CRIMINALS. Fight fire with fire

Yet the scumbag gangsters still have weapons, BECAUSE YOUR COUNTRY IS STUPID ENOUGH TO HAVE DIFFERENT LAWS IN DIFFERENT STATES.... they buy them in legal states or of the back of a lorry somewhere and then they are fine.

While inconsistencies between states are problematic, I'd actually argue America suffers more from an overbearing federal government than from statewide eccentricities.

As much as I hate the bellicose nature of my culture, ignorant generalizations sound just as stupid coming from a British citizen as they do from an American.

Ill take your word on that seeing as i know little about the way the laws are orgainised for different states.

Ill also retract my statement... "LOL your taking the piss? In america you dont even need a permit for a shotgun! WTF is wrong with your country, ffs no wonder you all love war so much."

and change it to "LOL your taking the piss? In america you dont even need a permit for a shotgun! WTF is wrong with your country, ffs no wonder so many of you love war so much."

We dont own guns and that is why are homocide rate is 6 times lower than yours.

Your homicide rate is 6 times lower because you have way less than 6 times the people smart one.
I heard UK is notorius for its gangs and gang related deaths.

Yes there are lots of gangs and gang related deaths but it doesnt effect anyone else because they are just killing each other.

We also have a 5th the population of America not less than a sixth... please go do some geography or something.

I'd say that you're both wrong, actually. While gun ownership is much lower in the U.K. than in America, less guns do not necessarily equal less murder. More guns do not necessarily equal it either.

Finally, statistics suggest that the difference in homicide rates mostly stem from differences in culture and in wealth disparity. This has little, if anything, to do with guns.

Ok lets debate gun laws.
--------------------------------------------
My opinion as I am sure you guys know is we need guns.
I will now explain why with various reasons.
----------------------------------------------------
Guns don't kill people people kill people.
Guns are necessary to defend yourself with.
There are MANY more GOOD people out there than bad people.
Guns WILL NOT stop crime. If somebody wants to kill you they WILL kill you, whether its a knife, baseball bat or whatever.
Criminals will ALWAYS get guns no matter what. Look at Canada. Criminals have tons of guns because they simply don't follow the law and never will.
Yet the civilians in Canada are defenseless.
If good people don't have guns they CANNOT protect themselves.
If somebody broke into your house with either an illegal gun or a knife, if you don't have a gun you basically have to fight them toe to toe.
Did you know guns deter crime? Criminals are more afraid to be shot by the home owner than get caught by the police.
Imagine this. Every woman has a nice little gun that they keep with them at all times and criminals know this.
Do you think there would be any more rape?
I know I would not want to mess with a woman pointing a gun at me.
Well that is just some of my arguments.

Debate away.

I would agree with all of those reasons. But for me, you missed the important one - with a gun, you don't know whether you've just shot a criminal or your wife on the way to the bathroom. At least with a baseball bat you see the whites of their eyes.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Let me explain somthing to you. If a chart says UK has 500 gun deaths and america has 1000. You will instantly go out and say how UK is safer. When accualy US is doing better because we have alot more people.

Fair enough. However i believe it has alot to do with guns. Even if not directly, your culture stems from your constiution which allows guns, you past has involved a lot of warfare, again guns. While the states was being founded people would still use force to gain wealth, again guns.

Phantom, you're talking about homicide stats, not the rates. If he were to look at a chart showing rates, the percentile would be higher for most American cities vs. equivalent British ones.

I think you missed the actual meaning of the post under the 'ahahahas'.

He meant rate as in, say 12 gun deaths per 1000 people. Of course that would translate to a much smaller amount of gun deaths in a smaller country - but that IS irrelevant. If the RATE is the same, if you scaled it up it everything would be EXACTLY the same.

Well, I can definitely agree that America has a more violent culture, due to our bloody past. England has been around long enough to have sated its bloodlust in a cultural sense. Two World Wars accomplished that. America is still young enough to have that aggressive nature within its mindset. We're sort of the cowboys of the industrialized world, but there are some advantages to it as well....

No im 18 and im laughing at your ignorance.

You still dont know what a rate is do you... You realy need to pay attention more in school. Lets do some basic maths.

England has 1/5 the pop of America. England has 160 homocides per year America has 5000 homocides a year.

160*5 = 800

5000/800 = 6.25

There you go... do you understand now... That is how you convert something to a "rate". Your homework for tonight is to read up on this, which can be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate

A person who is intent on Killing will do so with or without a gun. Thats an indisputable fact. Be it with an Ax or Knife or A Pick. What we need is stronger Enforcment on Illegal firearms and Better protection for our citizens who Carry legal firearms. Protection from Criminals who in there failed attempts can go back and sue and win cases against law abiding citizens who shot there behinds in the course of defending there lives.

We need to make the penalties of carrying an illegal firearm MUCH harsher, no one strike two strike deals, no plea bargains, Just manditory Jail. Ease up on the Drug laws, Thus cutting back on the crime in the first place, Alot of the murders are caused because of manditory life for even small amounts of even Pot, But Most shooters can plea bargain down to a year or 6 months and probation. Does anyone else see a problem with that?

Tougher enforcement on criminal possesion of illegal firearms would go a long way in this battle, or atleast be a good start.

so you wold have society based on fear, is that better.

Dezerteagal5: Texas and NYC enjoy differing social climates, therefore comparing one with the other relative to gun violence results in an invalid benchmark.

herrr_smity: I wouldn't base it on fear. I'd base it on "just in case." So far, none of my weapons have shot anything other than paper targets. Chances are, I'll never shoot anyone in my whole life (unless I reenlist) but firearms ownership is still an insurance policy.

I don't actively campaign to sell guns to unarmed folk, and all I ask in return is that my rights to self-defense stops being legislated away tidbit-by-tidbit. I don't really give a rat's ass what the UN has to say about it, for all they've ever been effective.

Keyboards don't mispell words; people do.

I'm going to make this really simple:
I live in Australia. In Australia, citizens are NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY FIREARMS. Every year in Australia we have 70-80 deaths by shootings. This is out of a population of 21 million

In America, guns are everywhere. Every year in the USA, there are around 28 000 deaths by shootings. I'll say that again: TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND!!! out of 295 million.

Taking into account the difference in populations between Australia and America, there are about 23 times as many deaths by shootings in the USA than here.

Can't dumb it down any more than that...

While that's true, federal law makes it illegal for a resident of one state to purchase a firearm in another state.

And just something to think about before you go blaming the gun for crime. Why is the homicide rate so high in California, which has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, but in the state of Vermont, which has some of the most lax laws in the country, (you don't even need a permit to carry a concealed weapon), the homicide rate is extremely low. If you actually look at homicide rates in the United States state by state, you will find that the states that have the most crime, tend to have the most restrictive gun laws. And the states with the fewest gun laws tend to have the least crime.

In fact, if you were to compare a state like Vermont to the UK you would probably find that Vermont has a lower homicide rate.
