Gun Control (4 Viewers)

[Omium]

Do you support a right to bear arms ?

 

[jb_nc]

No, I do not support bears owning guns.

There are no bears in our country anyway.

You should get out of Austria

 

[Empyrean444]

No. We should maintain our strict policy of gun control, and the US ought to do the same - though it is unable to learn the same lesson from numerous mass killings.

It would be kinda neat to own a gun and carry it on my person at all times (attached to my belt)

But I accept that I must be denied this indulgence for the greater good

Gun ownership in a population and massacres are correlation and not causation.

Careful, silly.

I think people have the right to defend themselves and should be allowed to own firearms for sport/hunting and whatever fucking reasons they want to own them for.

Murder's still a crime.

I was more referring to the fact that ownership and easier access to firearms facilitates and enables mass spree killings to occur - ie more people may be killed faster and in the same place/short time period if one has and uses semi auto/deadlier firearms than if not. Whilst it does not necessarily 'cause' a person to go on a murderous rampage, it can (and generally does) exacerbate in the far extreme the resultant casualties.

Provided that the laws are strict and that application for ownership essentially operates as it does here at the moment, then hunting rifles etc ought to be allowed. Pump action shotguns, semi-auto pistols (and anything deadlier obviously) must be banned.

I can understand that people have the right to defend themselves, but I think that a) people don't need a gun to do so; and b) guns in the hands of civilians probably cause more deaths than they save. Far from being 'protected', people at a whole are put at greater risk.

We don't need gun control we need bullet control.

If bullets cost $80.00 each will you can be sure that is somebody shot someone then he'd really hate the mofo and be extra careful.

 

[hermand]

nah. i don't think we should be as blasé as the us about gun laws. i think they should stay strict.

Chris rock.

 

[SAVAK]

yeah buddy, imagine if another cronulla riots ticked off.
50 anglo saxons dead. 40 lebs deads. 20 cops dead.
is that what some of you want?

unless you play sport there is no reason for you to have a gun

 

[blue_chameleon]

What does gun control have to do with bear arms?

 

[tycho]

ahahahahahaha

On topic, no.

People shouldn't have guns at all in the first place. Just like cigarettes. Why the fuck do we still have cigarettes? Gun advocates = aiding and abetting criminals.

I wish there was a distinction made between low caliber weapons, of limited lethality and full scale murder weapons.

On Q&A they were going on about "guns are made to kill people". That's really not true of all guns.

Under current legislation, .22 weapons and even air rifles are subject to the same restrictions as caliber's that are far more lethal. A .22 is not a murder weapon. It is however useful for taking shots at rabbits.

Low capacity weapons should be easily accessible to all for sporting and hunting purposes.

 

[Graney]

Murder's still a crime.

Legislation and punishment aren't effective as deterrents.

 

[Graney]

A 9mm generally doesn't kill people, either.

I'm no firearms expert. The relative legality of various firearms should be decided in consultation with ballistics experts.

If a 9mm can't easily and consistently kill a man, then it should be legal.

Chris Rock rip off.

Why not finish the joke and make me Lol.

Haha funny story guys. I went for my shooting safety course last night. The guy gave us the marking sheet lol and it has in bold "dont hand out" etc and yeah he went through the questions with us and then for the written test gave us the answers lol. Im mad safe with guns so i would have passed easily without his enthusiasm, but it scares me to think about all the retards i know who own guns. Its wayyyy too easy to get a gun as long as you dont have a criminal record.

A .22lr can and will kill you very easily Graney. Dont make the mistake of under- estimating them. People already dont treat them with enough respect and thats what causes accidents. I shot a roo a .22 last night and usually it wont even hit them let alone kill them but i hit it in the chest and it dropped on the spot.

guns are a very effective and humane way to control the population of feral animal numbers. do you hate native fauna you sick fuck? why do you want it to be eated then?

A 9mm will almost decapitate you with the right type of bullet loaded. i dunno if you were serious or what but yeah



Edit: no but seriously they should atleast make the test harder in general,

I've heard that said before, and have no idea where that belief comes from... Our friend from Winnenden managed to kill two people quite easily, and then reasonably accurately shoot at police back through the front windows. And this glass of a car dealership, which I assume would be decent.

I would argue that a 9mm is actually one of the worst offenders simply because of the fact that it's usually used in either handguns (and rarely the sport/hunting type) or SMGs, and not rifles. I personally don't think that handguns, or SMGs for that matter, are necessary in hunting. With regards to sport, I don't see why it's considered to be unfair to keep your handgun in a safe where you do the actual sport practice or competitions. *shrug*

I can understand your view on correlation and causation, but I'd disagree simply because a gun will generally make someone's attempt of killing much easier and, in many cases, almost tempt them to kill. I'd really argue for causation in certain contexts.

 

[greekgun]

Nah man, Australia's gun control atm is fine the way it is. Look at other countries which enable the right to bear arms and see how many people get shot compared to Australia.

 

[Sentinal]

no guns!
