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.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.
Chris rock.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.
ahahahahahahaWhat does gun control have to do with bear arms?
Legislation and punishment aren't effective as deterrents.Murder's still a crime.
I'm no firearms expert. The relative legality of various firearms should be decided in consultation with ballistics experts.A 9mm generally doesn't kill people, either.

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