Would better gun control help?

[Ilyanna]

I have several "BLACK" "MILITARY" "STYLE" "ASSAULT" rifles. I also have HIGH CAPACITY magazines.

So far I haven't even come close to wanting to kill people because of the configuration, look and capability of my legally owned and operated firearms.

Maybe somethings wrong with me.

Hey babe, there's a seat in my Leopard with your name on it. Interested?

[Duchess]

Bah. My hand is smaller & my fingers aren't that chunky.

Every time I even think of man hands I flash on an episode of Seinfield.

It's like a good friend of mine once said and something I've revisted watching the Olympics-

"Conflict will always perish in the brotherhood of flags."

Just think how many people you could take out at once though if you ever went bat shit crazy!!

Me too.

I also end up thinking about the other episode where the girl looks ugly in different lighting. That was pretty funny too.

All joking aside, I take the responsibility of gun ownership, safety and use very seriously.

But yeah.

Good thing I'm so sweet and cuddly.

RG, you and 99.5% population are not the problem. I understand the argument of 'Why should 0.5% fuck it up for the rest of us?'.

I guess we just chalk it up to 'wrong place, wrong time' if we/loved ones end up innocent victims of gun crime, just like getting killed by a drunk driver.

The risks of a free society.

Given a long enough timeline the survival rate drops to zero.

Nobody gets out alive.

If I lived in the U.S I would want stricter gun control, it might be a lot to do with the fact I grew up in a country where not even the police carried guns, only the special forces police etc, I know live in a country where the 'people' do not have the right to bear arms and yes there is still gun crime, but not as much, I hope I never feel the need where i have to keep a gun in my house or purse to feel safe.

[Riotgear]

If you lived in the US you'd understand better than you do. There's an oft time misunderstood and underappreciated taking up of arm that's deeply rooted in (at least the last) generation of men willing to do what must be done to secure society. I feel it. Many of my friends feel it. I've passed it down to my sons.

This is often mistaken for some sort of gung ho badass bullshit. More often then not, in reality, it's strong stable men who feel the weight of their responsibility to family country and fellow man who are willing to do what's required in even the most deadly situations to ensure _peace_.

People on the outside looking in rarely understand this IMO.

A simple trip though the statistical analysis of crime rates after the relaxing of laws prohibiting concealed carry shows without question that an armed society is indeed a polite society.

Another post brought up the suggestion that victims or families of victims of gun crime would advocate gun control. I'd be willing to bet a person or family of a person or people who were _saved_ by a citizen with a gun would tell a different story. They're out there. Just not as touchstone or incendiary.

Yes, you must be batshit crazy to own those things. If we were to listen to the pre-crime crowd, just having them might imply some future intent to commit mass murder. Maybe you need a psychiatric exam - by a lefist shrink.

Yes, if you have a gun (any type of gun), you're probably going to go crazy at some point and start killing people.

Jesus Christ, SS, I don't know how you inferred that from any of the prior posts. Reaching much?

The weird thing is if I set one of these scary looking black rifles fully loaded with the safety off on the coffee table it just sits there. Like some sort of inanimate hunk of metal and plastic.

Actually you're more likely to kill everyone if your gun is scary looking or holds more than ten bullets.

I appreciate ShitStorm's enthusiam, but, to quote of my favorite lines, from one of my favorite movies:

'She's crazier than a rat in a tin shithouse!'

-The Shawshank Redemption, 1994

Actually you're more likely to kill everyone if your gun [...] holds more than ten bullets.

well, mathematically speaking, that one's actually correct
