Go america! You do it so
Go america! You do it so well, all in the name of freedom and liberty, and not just for yourselves, but for the rest of the world, from the barrel of a gun. Violence is probably one of your best exports. The amazing thing about all this violence, is that you can never understand, 'why us', when it comes home to roost in your backyard. Wake up - not likely!
Meanwhile Europe continues
Meanwhile Europe continues to see higher crime rates as guns are banned.
The vast majority of American crime is in states with tight gun restrictions.
This video is like a joke
This video is like a joke told by a special education pupil.
Duh, I get it. You think everything would be sunshine and
bunnies if only we banned firearms. (Then hard liquor, then
cars that went over 50 mph, ect.)
A sure sign of a weak comic, is reliance on stereotypes (gun owners as "homicidally insane?" They actually tend to be better educated and more law-abiding than non-gun owners, statistically.)
Safety Nazis and nervous nanny types (your typical ant-gunners)
are never funny; at best they can tell the occasional mother-in-law joke, or get a big belly laugh out of "Family Circus." This video bears ample testimony to that, and I pity the schmuck who made it.
Hey, at least you didn't use
Hey, at least you didn't use any stereotypes...
individuals with disabilities, liberals, anti gun people, conscientious people... ok, well maybe a few, but who's counting, RIGHT?
the video is not saying that
the video is not saying that gun owners are homicidal maniacs but it is wrong to give guns to people who are homicidal maniacs. For example,would you have the guy who is a responsible gun owner who is straight in the head and is what society deems as normal get a gun, or the guy down the street who has a history of violence, killed small animals during his childhood, and has psychotic episodes when he thinks someone looks at him the wrong way? Even though taking away peoples right to own a gun is wrong, you didn't even try to look at both sides of the issue
P-L-E-A-S-E PIPE DOWN, YOU

IT IS PROBABLY MY OPINION THAT THESE NUTS WHO ACT OUT VERBALLY ON THE INTERNET ARE MIRROR NARCISIST'S WHO WET THE BED AS KIDS---BUT ON THE OFF-CHANCE THEY BELIEVE THAT CRAP---"FORGETTABOUTIT!" THAT COMES FROM THE BIG FISH--NO HAVOCK IN THE STREETS, PLEASE! GO SHOOT A TARGET ON THE RANGE-DRESS YOUR GIRLFRIEND UP LIKE BONNIE PARKER AND LET HER SHOOT THE SUB-GUN ON THE RANGE----ANYTHING---BUT DON'T OFFEND OUR SENSIBILITIES THAT YOU ARE BAD-ASS-BOYS!

i am a 30 year guard, carry all licenses known to mankind-the FEDS SEND me permission to shoot expensive and crazy-cool prototype SBR'S AND FULL AUTO MACHINE GUNS AND CLIP ON THE SILENCERS---BUT I DON'T HARDLY CARYY ARMS AT ALL-LOVE THE TARGET RANGE-AND KEEP MY GODDAMNED MIDDLE DIGIT TUCKED DOWN WITH THE REST OF MY NOSE-PICKIN' OTHER DIGITS BECAUSE STARTING WORLD WAR III OVER A ROAD-RAGE INCIDENT DOES NOT FURTHER THE HUMANITARIAN GOALS OF SOCIETY.

CHANGES MUST COME-THE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK WELL-AND WE , OF THE OLDER GENERATION, ARE AS PERPLEXED BY THE SITUATION AS MODERN HEADS! WE ALWAYS PREFER TO NEGOTIATE-BUT WHAT, AND WITH WHOM---AND TO WHAT ENDS?! ONE THING WE DO N-O-T DO IS SIT IDLY BY AND WAIT FOR A HITLER-TYPE GOON TO COME ALONG AND TELL US WHAT OUR BUSINESS IS---UNACCEPTABLE-GUNS ARE IN PLACE TO PREVENT THAT CRAP-"NEVER AGAIN!"
If you support Gun Bans then
If you support Gun Bans then you are nothing more than a Useful Idiot helping to usher in the New World Order.
If you do not believe in the NWO, that's ok because the rest of us will continue to fight it in spite of your ignorance. The evidence speaks for itself.
Here is a link to help educate those who seek the truth.

Stupidity because of a lack of education is excusable,
refusing to be educated; however, is a whole new level of stupid.
"New World Order" was Bush
"New World Order" was Bush Sr.'s term, a fact conveniently forgotten by right-wing gun fanatics and paranoids for whom everyone not in line with their obsession is "ignorant" or "stupid."

Paranoia was also used by the USSR as an excuse against dissidents.

It is not the gun; the society is the problem.
It's funny, how other
It's funny, how other countries with the same level of firearm availability such as Switzerland, Israel, Czech Republic, Norway, Finland, etc... all have immensely less violent crime than the US. Also funny, is that firearm VIOLENCE in the US is a disproportionately represented statistic, accounting for single digit percentages of homicide and accidental death, reports of firearm "Crime" are usually reports of minor administrative infractions of possession. Perhaps the problem with firearm crime in america, is that americans need to stop being jerks to each other, and our legal system needs to stop putting people in prison for administrative infractions. Then our numbers would match those other lovely safe countries. Banning guns will never EVER happen, productive people would focus on the root issue of "why the hell do americans all want to kill each other so much in the first damned place?" because even WITHOUT guns, over 90% of homicides would still occur, and the remaining single digit percentile would pick up a claw hammer or something and swing repeatedly. Seriously, guns dont kill people, Americans do. I guess we should be proud of ourselves, at least we still stand out among the free world for SOMETHING! Rational thought doesnt seem to be our forte. Take away guns and we'll just look like cavemen clubbing each other constantly.
In a nation governed by the
In a nation governed by the people themselves, the possession of arms to defend their nation against usurpers within and without was deemed absolutely necessary. This right is protected by the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. A gun was an everyday implement in early American society, and Jefferson recommended its use:
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion of your walks."

Why not bring back slavery and revoke women's rights? Oh wait, that's the GOP 2012 platform.
oh, wait, it was the GOP
oh, wait, it was the GOP that gave women's suffrage and abolished slavery.

It was certainly not the MODERN Republican Party that did anything of the sort. Abraham Lincoln would disown the thugs who have perverted his party into the monster it is in a heartbeat.
Blacks were banned from
Blacks were banned from owning guns in the south that is why there was slavery. DUH!
Actually few civilized folks
Actually few civilized folks kept guns in their homes back then.
A fact that is suppressed by the gun lobby is that most American cities had "armories" where citizens kept their firearms for their safety and their families safety.
In addition, before the civil war guns were relatively rare as they would often cost about a month's wage. It was actually the end of the civil war that made gun ownership a common occurrence when the government allowed soldiers to keep their side arms.
thx
mt
how can you compare a civil
how can you compare a civil rights issue with an amendment that was designed to keep the power resting with the people and not with the government ie to defend yourself from tyranny
as to why we had slavery its called special interest! ie men who want to make money regardless of who it affects just like with credit card companies being able to get around usury laws
Do you want to revoke your
Do you want to revoke your independence from Britain? What about the Bill of Rights or the Constitution? Both were penned 200 years ago, and they're still valid today as they were then. Just because you don't think you need a firearm doesn't mean you should judge for everyone else. It's a hobby, like collecting stamps or owning fancy cars or golf. Firearms have nothing to do with slavery or women's rights. I can own firearms, they're an object not an idea. You just compared apples to happiness, something tangible to something intangible and that affects the ownership thereof.
you people that want guns
you people that want guns illegal are f--ing idiots if we make guns illegal and good american citizens turn them in its not like criminals that buy weapons illegaly are gonna turn them in to. that would be there advantage cause the rest of the good citizens are weaponless and defenseless. f-k every retard that believs guns should be illegal
So in your little fantasy
So in your little fantasy world, all of the guns all over the world just sort of cease to exist and violent criminals all over the country suddenly decide that they're going to be good law abiding citizens and turn their guns in, right?
If you're worried about saving lives, why don't you fight heart disease as it kills 29 times more people than all "violent crime" put together.
you are a grade a number 1
you are a grade a number 1 idiot. You really do need to get out more and live in reality instead of that little happy world you have created for yourself...

Canada has crime problems too:

Actually, Canada has a
Actually, Canada has a Conservative party in power right now.
God forbid we live in countries that allow free will, education and a difference of opinion so it's people can strive for the best in themselves. Maybe you would be more comfortable in a Communist country. And you may want to work on the 'education' part before you attempt to hurl insults.
Nice try, though.
I just came across this
I just came across this site, and I like it. All the arguments provoke thought and that’s a good thing. However, I pretty much do not agree with anyone totally. Since this is an opinion blog; I will give you mine. For starters, the whole argument is a bit pointless. I would compare it to abortion. Regardless of all the talks, debates, protesting, ect… nothing really changes to make one side happy or the other. For all the republicans reading this, you had a R- president, congress, senate, and a couple added supreme court judges and nothing changed, but that’s the republican hot button issue and that was their chance. Yet everything basically stayed the same. The main reason, $$$! The medical industry is to big and to wealthy to go up against. Their money would largely go towards the D-party if the R’s put to much regulation on them. Democratic party has just recently been put into power so the jury is still out on “how much more pro-abortion” they will get. I believe abortion will get less regulated with this party in power now, and the reason? To get more women on the D-side and prop up the medical industry for more donations. On the other side of the coin - All you democrats, everyone hated the patriot act (which I do too), Gitmo, troops in Iraq, ect… and yet nothing really has changed. The party before Obama gained more power and that’s something that this administration is not going to give up. Unfortunately, the next president after Obama, will continue this same trend and that trend is to gain more power just as each has tried to do. Two things control both parties, MONEY & POWER - period…
Anyways, Back to guns!!! I personally do not like to much regulation in any aspect of government, but that’s not going to happen. Each year, each party tries to gain more power. I would ask you all to ponder, if 1,3, 10 or all the passengers on 9/11 had been carrying, would all that took place on that horrific day turn out as it did? Would a plane full of people, been able to be taken over with 1 inch box cutters? I doubt it. That being said, should there simply be no rule of law on guns? I think some rules are appropriate. I had read on this site an analogy about 10 year olds buying guns at 7-11, I have to agree with him/her, that would not be a wise move. I would also ask, if only police and military carry guns (in our civilized country) how would the events recently played out in the holocaust museum turned out if security guards didn’t have guns? How many more lives may have been lost? I’ve been to states that have liberal laws on guns; I have walked into stores and seen people carry guns openly; I personally felt secured about it. My thoughts were, if there is 1 or 2 crazies in here (in the stores) right now and they are about to snap, they will not make it long. There is something about an exposed gun that deters most criminals. If I were a criminal and I had a choice to go after the guy with the gun or the guy without one, the choice is obvious. I have no political sides to be on or be against - both are equally as bad. If I could give one analogy about the guns issue, I would give this: Nuclear weapons - Enemies of ours with them haven’t pulled the trigger in fear of us retaliating the same way. There is a certain “fearful respect” you gain by having the capability of retaliating with equal or greater force.
Lastly, to the person who wrote about how socialism is a good thing… Really? Have you asked people from socialist countries if they concur? In my college days, I had professors talk about how socialism would work if it were a perfect society, but there is one major flaw with that, none of us are perfect, and we definitely do not live in a perfect society.
Good commentary here, but we
Good commentary here, but we must remember one important thing that few talk about. The architects of the constitution guaranteed legal gun ownership as a right. They did this to protect us FROM government. There will always be bad people who do bad things with guns, but we should not imagine that extreme gun restriction will solve that problem. Reasonable restriction should include criminal background checks, but that will never stop criminals from acquiring guns. So long as there is poverty, poor education, injustice and social inequity, crime will exist. Banning guns only guarantees that law-abiding citizens won't have guns. Gun-ownership rights are essential for maintaining a balance of power between honest good citizens and the criminals on the streets, and are absolutely essential for defending against the criminals in government.
i think a possible solution
i think a possible solution would be to remove the protection the manufacturers have been given this would force them to be more selective of who they sell to. However you would have counter this by saying to them if you can prove you didn't sell this gun to this person or to the legal dealer who sold it to them your off the hook this way black market guns are not included in the witch hunt.
For those who are arguing
For those who are arguing that the public must be armed in order to resist tyrannical government, consider this: The Weavers and the Koresh people had huge arsenals. That didn't stop the government from running roughshod over them.
The government has everything from magunms to nuclear bombs. As things stand now, if the government wanted to wipe you out, you'd be wiped out, period. So if that's really what you're worried about, you need to stop worrying about arming yourselves and start working on a way to DISARM the government.
Fool... The insurgents in
Fool...
The insurgents in Iraq/Afghanistan are basically armed
civilians. Last I heard, they were giving our Marines
an absolute b!tch of a time.
Israel's military has been stymied by armed civilians (Hamas,
anyone?) for decades now. (Where's those roughshod riders
when you need 'em???)
If you'd be supportive of a government which you believe
would nuke its own citizens, then I don't want you or
anyone like you anywhere near positions of power, or even
a voting booth.
Somehow I think that if the U.S. military can't "run roughshod"
over the insurgents in Iraq/Afghanistan, and the Israelis have failed to do it with THEIR insurgents - well, I'd wager Americans would be just as difficult to tame by a rogue government. (Unless they all magically became pussified liberals like yourself.) You need to stop watching the idiot box 24/7 (when you're not hanging
around on liberal blogs, that is) and educate yourself about reality, and human nature.

But thanks for your concern! I just think your jealous being stuck over across the pond cause your family didn't have the courage to sail over here. But then whom are we to judge?

I agree guns should be taken
I agree guns should be taken away from the law abiding citizen,we live in such a civilized world these days that we don't need guns anymore,hu wonder why they want them taken away if we live in such a civilized world you'd think they wouldn't even give guns a second thought like you don't give a bread stick a second thought because you don't expect someone to get beaten with it eh,strange why they want them banning considering it is such a pieceful world out there,
anyway just look how safe the UK isnow they have banned guns a marvelous place and very safe,
for anyone stupid enough please don't come to the uk and think it is really safe,please do bring a stab proof vest
