"^ I don't understand this logic. That's like saying evil is evil...people will always kill one another so legislating murder is pointless...and in fact we make it more complicated for those who happen to kill an evil person."
People WILL always kill one another. No gun laws will ever stop that. If someone wants to kill, putting a ban on guns wont stop them from getting them. Most people in the US that have registered weapons have them to protect their loved ones at home, some are collectors, others just enjoy target practice or hunting.
Most crazy people and thugs that kill others dont have registered weapons, so laws are irrelevant to them anyway. You cant even get a license in any state if you have any prior arrest record. They're very strict about it. They do background checks, send letters to people that know you (not family members), so it's about as safe as it can be, and if they ban it well then a lot of people are going to make a lot of money illegally importing weapons.
Many drugs are illegal, and how many millions of people do them? You can go on a killing spree with a kitchen knife, we can't ban all those. Laws are not the problem, crazy people are the problem, and there's no fixing that.
- You must be pretty stupid if you don't understand the logic. Its pretty simple.qTime
- Rather have a kitchen knife spree, or seatbelt spree (as they're for protection), than machine guns and bombs.Peter
- Just look at the evidenceqTime
- Very simple.
Most of developed word - very strict gun laws - low level of gun crime.
USA - promotes buying guns - high level of gun crime.qTime - USA - promotes buying guns - high level of gun crime.qTime
- AGAIN...so why have laws at all? Murder? Jail? Not a deterrent to crazies so why bother? Makes no sense.monkeyshine
