Victim disarmament zones

banning classes of guns is just ridiculous. hypothetically, you can do more damage to a movie theatre with 7 rounds of bird shot than a fully auto AR that goes oom in 2 seconds

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.

And as for our rate of deaths related to guns. Not the highest in the world, but last for post-industrialized countries. Wow, we beat Mexico, Honduras, Brazil, etc at having less gun murders. Yay us. *Sweden, UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Denmark, Norway, Fucking Costa Rica, All Laughing*

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.
