It is true, American's have easier access to guns both legal and illegal in comparison to other G5 nations.
Not at all. I daresay it's just as easy to find a gun wherever you happen to be if you look in the right places.
*cue elvis*
(rep up for anyone who gets the joke and chews me out about it.)
Hence why I also brought up easy access to ammunition/guns. When someone is buying 400 rounds of ammo for a gun it's time to question whats going on. And no, one gun is a lot better than a duffle bag as far as efficiency goes.
OIC, so it's ok if i want to bring a revolver in to a school because we're now shifting to efficiency. Btw, I occasionally happen to go shoot targets for kicks with the grandad's gun, when i do i tend to buy a ton of bullets. Does that purchase somehow allude to me doing wrong. Should the guy at the counter grill me for it past my saying 'gonna shoot some targets'? See, this becomes the problem. No matter what you're up to there's a VERY easy cover story for it that doesn't lead to much questioning. There's an incredibly easy and viable counter to every concern raised.
You're essentially arguing for stricter gun control in this paragraph.
I'm for stricter gun control. I'm also for sending the president to war and marijuana legalization. Doesn't mean i think that those things would solve all my problems.
I wasn't countering your argument in my paragraph, I was countering previous statements brought up in this thread which I thought were ridiculous.
My bad, it just ... rawr. You know how it is.
Democracy is a government where the public elects it's officials, I know because we're also democratic country and effectively tossed John Chretien without a show of arms
See, this above all things, immediately shows you're not a US citizen nor have you spent much time here. While i agree and understand it's just simply not the case here. Sympathy for the devil?
Uhm....kinda a moot point since this isn't the first hundred years.
Exactly what i was saying. It is moot. There's not much point. If we were going to we would have, many times. Recently. But the founding fathers didn't imagine we'd make it this far. I'm sure they hoped. But there's no way you can realisticly sit there and say they had all this that the US is in mind when the wrote the constitution. They made shots in the dark and tried to provide their government with opportunities to avoid totalitarianism.
Did you know that it used to be law that if a peasant owned a greyhound they would be put to death? Do you know what england did? They changed it because it was out of date. No laws are timeless because society changes.
Yea, because that draws such a close comparison to protecting yourself from tresspassers, foreign invaders, and a possibly omnipresent corrupt and abusive government.
Meanwhile the monarchy is still in place over there. It does nothing, yet there it is.
Super bad example.
