  • When you get rid of guns we still have knives. In fact a man tried to chop up a bunch of 6 year olds with a machete. Clearly no more guns is not going to stop the idiot with a machete.

    Guns should be regulated not banned. Also simply banning guns is not going to stop crime.

    Anything can be used as a weapon. Even a kitchen knife. Now if you start removing kitchen knives what goes next? Pencils? Now doesn't this sound like it has the potential of rolling out of control? Or maybe bats for things like baseball or cricket. Pretty sure you can kill someone with one of those. Oh and dont forget bombs. Which terrorists make out of household products.

    So what else are you going to ban? If you really want to make sure people are safe you are going to have to take away a lot.

    Anything flammable, anything sharp, anything that can be used to make a bomb, anything electronic, anything too heavy, everything you can find a carpenter holding, canes that old people use, most sports gear.

    Yes some of this stuff is dangerous but how are we going to live? Oh and not to mention all meat factories must be shut down. You really expect us to function after that? We cant even fish if you take fishhooks away. Well maybe with catfish where you fish by letting them eat your arm.

    • So yeah the idea behind banning guns is incredibly unreasonable. Since we cant function if you take away every little thing that might create a possible danger.

      Some stuff is dangerous. We need said things to function as we do. What are we going to go cat fishing, eat an entire fish every-time we eat since we cant cut it with forks or knives.

      So yeah anyone who says yes clearly has not thought any of this through. That being said a gun held by someone untrained is very dangerous. So you should have a license if you own one.

      Also not having a gun does not mean the rest of the world is going to follow this. If you have 3 country's that say "No gun" and a 4th that invades with machine guns you are all pretty fucked right?

      If you really have the idea to make people "Safer" you have to look at everything. People are missing the bigger picture when they say guns kill. If I can kill you with a gun I can kill you with a bat or a knife.

      Sure guns make it easier but simply removing the guns does not remove someone ability to kill. If someone is smart enough they will find a way. In fact in prison people make knives and shit out of spoons. Do you think those people have guns? No probably not.. but I would bet you anything they probably still have the ability to kill you.

      • Instead of simply noticing guns. Why not notice that their is crime period. Take the man from the jungle and you are not taking the jungle from the man. If you move a killer away from a gun he is still a killer. He still can find a way to kill you. As safe as you illusion yourself into thinking you are. He can still find a way. So we have to look at the big picture not one tiny little aspect and ignore everything else.
