  1. And here comes the fear mongering 1. What happens in Australia is irrelevant. Gun murders have been dropping in the US for over 20 years 2. The whole idea of a gun inside your house increases your chance of falling victim of gun violence is an asinine argument to make. I can stay in a padded room forever and not get hurt, is that a solution? Also, accidents are not gun violence 3. Who cares what other countries think 4. The idea that more guns means more violence has little to no evidence attached to it. As I said, gun murders have been dropping. Including things like suicides in those statistics is being deceptive

  2. What is a "sensible regulation"?

  3. The argument that every other modern nation does it is a very weak argument. For starters they have problems as well. The US has arguably the best healthcare system in the world. Also, they are countries of completely different societies. Denmark has mandatory military, Norway subsidizes their programs with oil, people who are pushing for universal healthcare in the US are typically opposed to fossil fuels and the military. It is a complex issue and making the hand wavy argument of "every other modern nation does it" doesn't fly which is why it hasn't been passed for decades.

  4. Do you know how hard it is to own an automatic rifle?

  5. What gun law would prevent these shootings.

  6. "The argument that the 2nd amendment can protect you from the government is a joke." It isn't a joke. The military simply can't go around oppressing people or enforcing domestic laws because that is illegal. If they did then the states would put a stop to it. What can happen is we the people fighting the state and local government who can't develop a military since it is unconstitutional. Study how our country is developed and ran.

  7. The 2nd amendment is the most important one we have

  8. "the govt doesn't want to take your rights, it's trying to protect you" That is a pretty scary statement you just made there. They are trying to "protect us", ok. "ou need background checks" Which we have. "and to ban assault weapons" Which is not a defined term.

  10. These recent mass shootings did not involve an automatic rifle. Also, you just can't sell one. If you did without proper paperwork then that would be a felony.

  11. As far as I know the club shooter had a semi auto which is different. I don't know about the PP shooter or the gay pride parade shooter. As far as armor piercing bullets are concerned, they are expensive but are fun to shoot.

  12. The PP shooter used a semiautomatic. You really need to learn some facts.
    1
  13. You are including semi autos as well. You do know that the vast majority of guns are semi autos? So yes, you are talking about taking away people's guns. That includes 2 out of 4 of my guns which are semi auto. To let you know the two semi autos I own, which is a .22 and a .38 (technically a double action but same results) will do far less damage than the bolt action rifle I own which is a 30-06. But I guess we should take away the scary semi autos from me while I own a gun that can do far more damage just because it is only a bolt action. I have a strong feeling you know very little about guns.

  14. Now you are talking about automatics? I thought you were including semi autos? Also most gun deaths are by hand guns. You want gun reform but you can't even get your argument or facts straight.

  15. Also I love how you wish ill will on my, how liberal of you.

  16. "the second amendment was also written when muskets were the only guns we had" Not true. Guns that can shoot multiple rounds Belton Flintlock were under developed.

  17. Gun murders have been dropping in the US for over 20 years.

  18. "In this case a proper background check would have most likely prevented this guy getting legal guns" This guy was a security guard and passed and extensive background check by his employer including a psychological check. Most gun sales involve background checks as is. Considering how this guy had no criminal record or recorded psychological problems it is safe to say he would have passed a gun background check. "See how using NRA type "standard talking points" backfire when they are used in every scenario?" What NRA type of standard talking point was used?

  19. If you are wondering why gun sales go up it is because we have one party that keeps pushing for more gun laws only after these shootings happen. If they try any other time to do so it won't happen because statistics go against their rhetoric. They have to appeal to emotions to get these laws to pass. The longer they push the greater chance they have. As far as none being passed, that is not true. While they get shot down at the federal level they get passed at the state and local level.

  20. There have been several laws passed at the state level.

  21. Watch Stefan Molyneux's "The Truth About Gun Control", both of them. They give out a lot of information.

  22. Automatics are not illegal, they just require more effort to get on. As long as you are not a criminal you can get on in most states. Chemical and nuclear weapons are not arms thus we have no right to them. The 2nd amendment is the most important right we have and just because technology has improved does not mean it needs to be changed. We have the internet now, should the 1st amendment be changed?
    1
  23. Even if you say a nuclear bomb is an arm chances are it is very expensive much like a tank which is legal to buy and own. When DC passed a firearms ban in there they become the murder capital of the world. High capacity magazines are not illegal in all states. Also 100 round drums are notorious for jamming up which is why the military does not use them.

  24. People of that much wealth are not going to just bomb people.

  25. The 2nd amendment is the most important amendment we have because in the end if the government were to become tyrannical we should have a way to fight back. We should, and do find civil ways to solve problems. But in the end the government should fear the people and not the other way around. If we don't have guns then what does the government have to fear? "and your argument about the first amendment is a logical fallacy. No one goes on the internet and murders 50 people with their words." One can easily argue against that. Words are very powerful. People have used the internet to communicate with radical groups or produce rallies that have done a lot of harm to property or has led to deaths. One quick example I can think of is when two girls stabbed another girl 19 times in hopes of seeing slender man. Or how many people did the Manson family kill because of the White Album and Helter Skelter? Maybe we should bad music. There have been a problem with online bullying and people committing suicide. The overall point is that it is the person that commits these acts. One can write a whole list on times where freedom of speech and press were at fault for a killing. But with that we simply can't remove our rights. I have asked to these gun control advocates if they would support removing the 4th amendment. Being allowed to monitor people or randomly search their homes would lower crime a lot. That movie theater shooting by Holmes would have probably been stopped. The FBI could have monitored this shooter more. So are people or removing our right to privacy? We can't just attack rights for our "safety".

  26. None

  27. What does the NRA have do to with anything?

  28. Most of those deaths are suicides. Also I am not scared, I feel safe. Most gun deaths are suicides and gang related. I live in a safe neighborhood.

  29. "What happens in Australia is irrelevant, how convenient." We are talking about a different culture, it is irrelevant. If you want to make it relevant crime went up after the gun ban.
    1
  30. What about crime? Would it decrease crime as well? You are so concern about gun deaths, when most are suicides and gang related, when I want to lower all crime. The question you asked isn't simple because you are remove one problem, that really isn't a problem, and creating another. You are basically attacking the symptom but not the disease.

  31. If gun control advocates were to try to push more gun laws at any other time they will get shot down with facts that go against their rhetoric. This is why the gun control topic only comes up after a mass shooting. They have people's emotions to go off of.
