yeah, it's sad, but this is why it's not easy to fix gun violence in America.

If you want to fix gun violence, it’s better to address the violence rather than the guns. Guns are a tool. Someone is always behind the gun pulling the trigger. Guns don’t just go off on their own. One way to reduce violence would be to close and enforce the borders. Cartel violence is a big issue in both Mexico and the US. Though, that would mean less cheap labor and the politicians love that. Another way to reduce violence would be training more people to use and carry guns, in addition to getting rid of gun free zones. Police can be unreliable in shooting cases, and shooters obviously don’t care if guns aren’t allowed in some places. If people actually learned how to use them properly and carry them with them, they would be more likely to be able to defend themselves. Carrying pepper spray won’t cut it all the time. It isn’t an easy one-size-fits-all solution, multiple problems would need to be addressed.

I'm unaware of any such attachments being used. Which attachments are you suggesting are 'overkill?'

 

[GuntPunt]

The guns have been the same technology wise and in number since the 1960's, yet the number of shootings increased.

What has changed in the US since then? Because it isn't the guns.

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

So, what do you suggest?
You sure like to critique gun ownership but I want you to tell me, how do you stop people from killing each other?
If it's not guns, it's gonna be explosives, if it's not explosives, it's gonna be poison, if it's not poison, it's gonna be suicide cults...When someone wants to hurt a large number of people, they just find a way.
You're not addressing the root of the problem, nor providing any useful arguments at all. You're just defending your stance on "guns are bad". Have you ever thought in-depth about your stance?

I find it rich when people who on paper want a more egalitarian society try to restrict access to weapons and often get pissy over cars/suburbs. Historically, the more well armed a society is, the less centralized and egalitarian it is. (The same applies to mobility).

Texas doesn't have magazine limits

hasn't done a damn thing in states with mag limits.

nor owners licenses or registration you fucking mongoloid.

Murdock v. Pennsylvania: “No state shall convert a liberty into a license, and charge a fee therefore".

I know you hate that pesky Bill of Rights because it gets in the way of your Mugabe mob rule wet dream. If you're so hellbent on ensuring your political foes can be defenseless, call a constitutional convention. Alas, you won't, because you can't, because half the country knows you and your ilk are power-mad Stalinist psychopaths.

Uneducated here again. Are there any countries in the world that actually have full on gun bans? Seems that a lot of ones like England are propped up by liberals as gun free havens but actually have lots of hunting rifles and other guns owned by civilians especially in the countryside. Not even Australia actually took back all of them. Might be really wrong here though

China and North Korea.

 

[FunPosting101]

You’re right. I forgot about all those mass stabbings in the UK that resulted in 20 dead kids.

Replace UK with China and you will see the actual problem. A further hint for you: Britain has a massively lower homicide rate than America in general. You rarely if ever see mass-killings there because the average British person isn't all that homicidal in the first place.

UK has always had a lower homicide rate than US. This goes back earlier than the 20th century.

 

[WelfareNiggerQueen]

Probably because no other countries have this problem

I'm trying to find a video of this guy unloading his gun into some fat lady's back. I used to have it but Hard Drive got rekt and i upgraded to SSD. Anon's on /gif and /pol should still have it. Might ask for it in a wrekt thread if any pops up in that coomer hellhole

 

[Nazrin]

And he was a radical who went online for it, not your average crazy person. Easier access to guns still leads to more deaths, there is objective proof in other countries around the world, dipshit.

"And he was a radical who went online for it, not your average crazy person."
Kill yourself please.
HE WAS CRAZY but NOT YOUR AVERAGE CRAZY....

 

[Uncle Meat]

The common denominator is the age of these mass shooters who target children. They're all around 18 years old. Back in the 50s and 60s, perhaps people matured faster. They went through the crazy age in middle school, and by the time they graduated from High School, they were balanced and dedicated to reach goals. Today, people can be 22 years old and 15 in their head. It may be necessary to raise the age of adulthood to 21 again. America doesn't have a cultural rite of passage for young men like other ethnic groups do. Maybe we need some sort of test of maturity.

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

When it comes to murdering students, Mexico’s government holds the all time high score.

 

[Full Race Replay]

A bunch of you guys have touched on this but it is disingenuous how leftists only focus on curbing gun violence and not all violence. Which shows they are 1) biased towards high-profile events amplified by the msm and 2) not going to address the root problem.

Don't you fucking talk to me about Murdock, you who probably wants Voter ID which Southern States would no doubt try and charge for. You and your ilk of low iq wannabe Christian Crusaders can continue to think you are not fucking over the common man.

Cry some more, retard. Treating all criminals the same is stupid. Stopping the stupider ones through regulation will lessen crime, not catch the dedicated terrorist types. Or do you honestly see no difference between an angry high schooler from the US and a zealotous Taliban Suicide Bomber?

 

[Not an_ime g_irl]

It's not going to be explosives or knives, fucking look at Europe. Knife attacks are bad. But explosives require far more effort. These countries contain millions and millions of people yet how often are explosives used in Germany a la Syria.

And he was a radical who went online for it, not your average crazy person. Easier access to guns still leads to more deaths, there is objective proof in other countries around the world, dipshit.

I'm sorry, you're right, it's going to be acid:

In 2016, there were over 601 acid attacks in the UK based on ASTI figures.

Or maybe some other incident involving chemicals.
I understand your point on how banning guns makes it more unlikely for the mentally ill to get access to guns, but I would argue that's the responsibility of the gun owner, a gun should be locked in a gun safe.
I could go as far as to argue a car could be used as a weapon to end many lives before it is stopped, there are many, many ways for an individual to bring harm to many, many people.

 

[Common Shadow]

The problem is non of those countries have any kind of culture around guns. In the US, our country was created in large part because of everyday citizens using private arms to fight back against the British. This is why the right to have a gun was enshrined as the second amendment, the UK/Australia never had a right to a gun, they had the privilege to have one and that privilege was taken away because of a few nutjobs. Stripping millions of people of a fundamental right isn't close to the same thing.

Right people forget how much America was molded at the barrel of a gun. Our constitution has given us the right to bear arms and to ratify that amendment after centuries of patriotism, rebel flag wavers and god fearin' yokels that think Democrats want to seize all weapons would create anarchy and civil war. The major issue is this country is too strict and too lenient at the same time with guns and most of the public is afraid to teach their children about the history of firearms, how to properly handle them, Educate and don't shelter them first of all. Second of all, we make sure they aren't being exposed to misinformation regarding laws and history. Third, we screen for any issues with their feelings when exposed to firearms to catch early signs of sociopathy, psychosis, etc. In this capitalistic system, these ideas are a good starting point, but they will probably never come to pass.

 

[Coldgrip]

You’re right. I forgot about all those mass stabbings in the UK that resulted in 20 dead kids.

Did you also forget about the attacks with trucks or the purposely underreported rape-gangs?

 

[pwnest injun]

If we're going to disarm the populace, just start with niggers first, and then try the spics and if the problem hasn't been solved by then, we can talk about it some more, okay?

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

Nobody wants to spend the money necessary to give quality health care to the crazy and the last time we had most of our crazy people in asylums they were subject to all manner of abuse.

Better they get abused than the mentally ill abusing others.

Voter ID

Don't all the euro countries have voter id?
