Actually if you use your mind and not emotion (fear) you'll notice a fucked up trend. The more guns, the less crime. I know, couldn't believe it myself. (example chicago, washington dc) But then again thieves and criminals aren't THAT retarded, they'd rather rob an old lady with no gun, then someone who's packing a semi auto with 17 hollow point bullets ready in the magazine.The only people who connect crime rates and guns are the gun supporters 'proving' there's no connection. I didn't even mention it. What I said was the when people are angry or frightened they'll use whatever's handy. If no gun is available, they won't use a gun, which is after all a machine for killing. And the victim can maybe benefit from bad improvisation.
If it took five month's per gun, you'd have made a point about impulse-control by statute. But that's all about the decision to become a gun-user/owner. Who can then buy a gun, like buying a car, pretty much as fast as the VISA terminal can process.
Nope. Just makes twice as many guns available. That may make gun use twice as likely some day. See above.
The crackwhore desperate for a $10 trick might have a different definition of "expensive" and what "…everyone can afford". Fortunately, a gun would be beyond his addled means. And even though I've happily been left with nothing more than memories after blowing hundreds of dollars now and then on dances, I can assure you that the carnival atmosphere where I purchased them had a lot to do with my decision-making at the time. Sellers have been using carnivals like the Sportsmans Show to juice their sales since the beginning of time. We need more thoughtful gun owners not more bedazzled ones.
Whatever the boat reference was intended to drive home, it missed. But I'd bet more than one spouse of a new boat-owner would support a drive for impulse control at the Show. But unlike cigarettes and guns, boats do not kill when used as intended. So extra precautions are quite sensible for both.
This idea that simply owning a gun will result in more crime is nothing more than hysteria brought on by people who a) know nothing about firearms (they'll call em automatic assault type weapons lol) b) are afraid because they look bad in a movie. There are over 10,000,000 legally owned guns in canada and nothing is happening. Responsible, like minded people do not pick up a gun and start killing others. They are forced to follow retarded rules, that really make no sense, so that others who are afraid of guns have the ILLUSION of being safe.
Yet on a weekly basis you hear on the news that Jamal shot Liroy at jane and finch with an ILLEGAL gun, which often they were PROHIBITED from owning in the first place. They didn't have a license to buy one, they purchased the gun illegally, didn't have the magazine limited to 10 rounds, like the law abiding citizens are forced to have, didin't have a authorization to transport the firearm and dint belong to a range, yet the politicians and people do NOTHING to prevent these guys from doing it again. Instead they'll put more restrictions on LEGAL firearm owners. Does anybody see the problem with this?
You are restricting good, law abiding citizens from protecting themselves, and doing NOTHING against the people who couldn't care less about any laws you come up with. At the same time you are making the lives of criminals much easier, because there is no risk to them, after all no one is gonna carry a gun on them, its easy picking.
When was the last time anyone heard of a cop get robbed at gun point or raped while in uniform and carrying their gun? Because i have never heard of such a scenario, because criminals, rapists etc look for a easy target, you know the 110lb girl walking home alone at night, no traffic around...
