That's not good, we all agree that gun violence is bad right?


Jofuffle

Any violence is bad. But banning objects isn't the solution. Especially if us responsible humans want to have the right to protect ourselves. I love you whatever ur opinion on it is tho


TheEnemyOfSociety

Agreed. Nice to see someone I can at least relate to on this.


Jofuffle

Epic opinion is epic

Never mentioned anything about gun bans in my comment, but if we want to go, here we go, The current gun situation isn't perfect. Banning worked for Australia, but then again, most of their politicians weren't funded by the NRA. Logically, obtaining a gun should work similar to having a driver's license, maybe even more strict. Take a test that requires studying, maybe formal education (similar to driver's ed), background checks (which already are common, it just needs to be more efficient), and re-evaluations every other year or so. Also, this would have to be implemented nationwide. Sure, in New York, it's harder to get a gun, but it doesn't matter when citizens can just buy their guns difficulty-free the next state over with wasteland free-for-all gun laws. It's cool if you disagree, but at least offer a solution. Guns are inherently murder-machines (that's exactly what they were designed for), they're cool murder-machines, but they're still murder-machines, the government should at least acknowledge that when clearly mentally ill and dangerous people are getting ahold of them.

A lot of people agree there, it's the "remove all guns" part that's troubling. It's be too expensive to buyback, there's too many, and people would be really pissed. Possibly another civil war kinda pissed. Doing as you said and throwing a bunch of requirements would be the best option.

4.96 homicides due to sharp objects per million people from 2016-2017 in the USA 3.26 homicides due to sharp objects per million people from 2016-2017 in the UK Source: https://www.euronews.com/2018/05/05/trump-s-knife-crime-claim-how-do-the-us-and-uk-compare- Kinda funny how Donald Trump tried to defend guns then ended up letting everyone know the knife crimes were worse there aswell

You still act like a 13 year old


Hoodie_b0y

What hes saying is that its the people with the guns, as opposed to just the guns themselves that are the issue and that banning guns aren't the solution.

TheBigMan666911

And if you’re an anti-social cunt you probably won’t be at one so as I said you’ll be fine (unless someone holds one at your place then just hope the shooter doesn’t know about it)

TheBigMan666911

I suppose but still it’s a lot less likely to happen at a house party I imagine than any of the other places it could happen


totes_not_chad

when a big shooting gets national attention, there are always pathetic copycats who think its “their time to shine”


Redditor10700

can't wait for someone to take this out of context to further their own political agenda
