How many fucking times have you heard this and you're still all yapping away with this bullshit anti-gun rhetoric like you have a say in what our mother fucking constitution says.

'Murica!

So I guess your computer wrote that comment too?

Huh? I think you just failed at comprehension.

Yea, Aowen actually reinforced the point.

I think probably the biggest indicator is that the countries that are actually as developed as we are all have lower instances of gun deaths. I would attribute this to their gun laws, in addition to several other things like poverty and education rates. If you were actually overly concerned about your safety, you'd take away the incentives for crime and violence.

Any time there is a complex situation, the best answer is to shoot it, bomb it, or cut it off. Seems to be the mantra of a lot of idiots in this country.

Britain may have lower gun encounters. but way higher knife encounters. no? They just exchanged one form of violence for another.

Also, anytime there is multi-generational poverty there will be violence. Hard to break the cycle when you don't have anyone to show you the way.

Lmao, yes more knife attacks. Look at the murder rate of the UK, waaaaaaaaay lower.

I do agree with your comment regarding the multi-generational poverty.

You might injure as many, less will die. Also, clips in ARs are super quick and easy to reload. I figured owning a gun you'd know that

I agree clips [sic] are easy to reload, even with communist bullet buttons. Many shotguns are magazine fed too, I figured you'd know that

I would also ban magazine fed shot guns, as unless you're a suspected terrorist, you probably wont be needed to take out a force of invaders.

Aowen: When you were born into this country, you accepted a social contract that said everyone has the right to own guns. If you don't like it, you can move to one of those other countries with stricter gun laws, like Mexico (and no violent crime happens in Mexico from what I hear).

I don't understand the point of having a gun for self-defense if you have to retrieve it from a safe, and I seriously question the practicality (and mental stability) of carrying it around at all times in your own house. Anyone want to fill me in here? Or is it just a little security blanket for paranoid people?

Your imagination is poor. Not every situation will be the same. Sometimes you may have time to go retrieve the gun from your safe, sometimes not. Perhaps people who have guns for self defense believe that they will generally have enough time.
