Do you think guns should be banned?

Whoever thinks guns should be banned has an IQ under 80

No. One of the reasons people think they should be banned is because when something bad happens the government gets a crisis actor on the news crying "oh lets ban guns please!"
 
No. I think that psychological assistance should be more readily available. I think that the problem is not the shootings, it's the people. People with deep issues. There's a problem when a young kid thinks that his only way out of his current situation is to kill lots of people, and it has nothing to do with guns.

No. Gun control will do nothing. People will still obtain guns. Chicago has the strictest gun laws in America, yet so conveniently has the highest murder rate in America. People in general want what they "can't have". I'm not saying that no gun laws would make a better difference, but having strict gun laws literally does nothing positive.

Chicago is right on the border next to Indiana which has much looser gun laws, so anyone can buy a gun or two or a hundred in Indiana and bring them to Chicago. So maybe it's Indiana's loose gun laws which prevent Chicago's tough gun laws from saving lives.

I think people should be able to have guns. If a big shooting comes people will be able to try and stop it.

That's true too. I don't know why people thought of that earlier. I do agree on having more mental institutions, tougher anti-bullying laws, and stricter laws against supporting foreign terror groups. Basically, get rid of the causes behind the shootings rather than the guns.
 
nah but there needs to be better regulation of them
 
Even if they are banned, people will still find away to get them. So if they are dumb enough to ban them, then they shouldn't be surprised to see a lot more shootings.

So you're saying over 80 is good enough to handle one then? Lmfao.

But yes they should, this freedom act speech that you are entitled/have rights to carry one around is just stupid. Yeah sure, go around and shoot then.

Pretty much.

Also there will always be a black market for everything regardless of if it's legal or not.

tbh yeah, when ppl use that argument it's just like.. ok ... so do you mean we should justmake everything legal because making stuff illegal "won't stop people from doing it"

letms legalize murder bwcause ppl will still be killed and making it illegal isnt stopping all murders !!!! logic level 100

But if guns are illegal only people who buy them in the black market will get them

What if they shoot up a place? NO ONE will have a gun to fight back with

the police?
ppl in general dont need guns "to protect themselves" because you shouldn't need to kill someone in order to protect yourself.
and in shootings etc u should let the police do the killing of the culprit, chances are that if u are a civilian in a shooting drama you'll just do more damage than good if you start shooting too
 
If you find yourself in an environment with an active shooter -- and you have a gun on you, too -- you'll probably make things worse by using it. You may miss your target. You may not only miss your target, but accidentally shoot an innocent. And even if you hit your target, they may not actually be the shooter. They could be a random person trying to stop the shooter with their gun too. They could also mistakenly make YOU their target...

Recently in the UK, A man entered someone's home and shot a one year old child with an airgun. Before this incident (and still currently), the UK laws on airguns and similar weapons was rather relaxed (anyone over 18 could purchase an air rifle as long as it delivered less than 16.2 joules of energy). Due to this event and a few other events, new legislations are coming into place, tightening the laws on such weapons (this law was first mentioned back in July 2015). Also in the UK, 1996, the Dunblane school shooting took place, this incident led to the UK having one of the strictest anti-gun legislation in the world, as before that the gun laws were more relaxed. Since this law was implemented, there has been 0 school shooting related deaths in the UK, unlike American where there has been 112 school shooting related deaths, (64 school shootings in 2015 alone) since 2010 (according to Wikipedia).

The point I'm making is, when something terrible happens, you make clear that you don't want it to happen again. If your child hurts another child badly using something, say a BB gun, you discipline them strongly and take away their BB gun to show that you don't agree with that type of behavior, it doesn't mean they won't do it again, but it means you aren't condoning it, you have clearly shown, by your actions, that you don't want it to happen again. By not banning guns (or at least making some sort of attempt to) America are being complacent to all the gun related deaths, they are not showing that they don't want it to happen again. (of course people who shoot other people are punished, but they are allowing it to happen again by still allowing guns). To me Sandy Hook was the turning point, the minute you see 20 very young children being shot and don't think that calls for a serious change, that's when you're well and truly ****ed. That's when you are showing that you allow this, and that is disgusting.

As Bowie said, in an ideal world guns wouldn't exist. My own feelings and anger lead me to wish that guns were never created in the first place, I wish it were simple to remove them all from the Earth completely, but obviously that is not at all possible. Guns will always exist and will always be used to kill people, no matter what laws are brought in. However, gun laws can definitely make a difference, I'm not saying take everyone's guns away and ban them completely (although I strongly wish that could happen) I'm just saying at least make an attempt, stop allowing this. It's about time something was done. Guns obviously aren't the problem, people are, but gun laws can make a difference.

None of that really makes sense but my in my opinion yes. At the very least stricter laws need to be brought in.

America is a funny place. not every law works in every place ,theres a reason its called United States. It may be 1 Nation but many times it is more like one nation with 50 opinions ( don't you mean 51? no shoo DC you dont count lol ) What works in Texas may not Work in California.
I belive this country was founded on right to make our own choices. the right to speak freely without answering to any King or Tyrant.

A person must do what is best for them and there family ,to protect them selfs ,within the boundarys of the law Some view this as Guns rights.
I think often we in this country (USA) often have our opinions run so hot we often stomp over the opinions of others regardless to get our point across and in process we forget True laws are not made with threats or Violence there made ,when to sides come together and do something that in politics has become a dirty word ( Compermise ). True Action Dares to put opinion aside, and do something far more Difficult Talk.
 
No, because even if you ban guns, it still won't solve all the world's problems. Criminals will buy off the black market instead, or use knives or bombs or something else to kill with, so no. Banning guns literally won't do anything except create another tear in the social fabric of america: liberals who hate guns and want them banned, and southern conservatives who believe in "guns are love, guns are life <3". If all guns do get banned from america, I can see a civil war between the north and the south. LOL not like a war isn't already going to happen with trump or hillary as president though.

yeah you're right, let's not do anything if it doesn't solve all the problems of this world. /s

bombs are hard to get
guns will be harder to get
knives aren't very great for mass killings, they require more of a person physically than using a gun does etc.

and guess what? not all people who do criminal things know 100 other criminals and have loads of Illegal Guns at hand lmao. it will be harder for criminals/potential criminals to get guns, while it won't be impossible it will be harder. n if you don't have a weapon,, well you're less likely to kill ppl arent u.....
 
The lax gun laws is the reason that there is an abundance of guns on the black market.
