well guns are more fun.
[QUOTE=archangel125;22224081]Well, people like BlueSaint fantasize about a situation where they'd be justified by law in using it against another human being. I think the USA has a culture in some states or towns which is completely dominated by the gun craze.[/QUOTE]
BlueSaint is a 14 year old kid, an immature one, at that, and you can't really take him seriously.
There IS no point to having so many guns. All those second amendment fuckwits keep pulling up the constitution argument because they really can't come up with anything intelligent, or admit that they're all wannabe soldiers/cowboys.
When the second amendment was first put into effect, people were using muzzle-loading flintlock rifles that couldn't hit a man-sized target at 300 yards. Today there are semi automatic sniper rifles accurate at up to two miles, and handheld submachine guns that can fire more than 900 rounds a minute - that's fifteen bullets every second.
The people who WANT lax gun laws are usually middle-aged men in their midlife crisis who just realized that their dreams of becoming an action hero were never realized and they wasted their lives. With guns, they can still fap to the fantasy of turning another human being into a pile of bloody gore.

Hooray, stereotypes.
I've fired rifles before in training. Well, rifle. The C7.
I don't like it at all. Oh, it feels great when you feel it kick against your shoulder and see a nice neat hole appear in the center of your paper target's chest, but I use it with care and only handle it when I absolutely must.
Stereotypical NRA members, many of whom are decades older than me, don't seem mature enough to appreciate a gun for what it is. Modern firearms are tools that have been designed and perfected for one and only one purpose - to kill. Whether hunting rifle, machine gun, assault rifle, sniper rifle, machine pistol, SMG or handgun, they were made to kill another human being or animal in the most efficient, messy way possible.
But no, to most of the people in the NRA, it's all about making them feel more badass.
Just a poorly veiled attempt to compensate for their poor sex lives. They must all have tiny penises or be impotent.

Ugh, not this again, seems there's someone posting things like this in every thread that relates to guns.
The 2nd amendment was put into place so the people could overthrow an out of control government, as crazy as it sounds, and that right should remain there, for corruption in a government in always a possibility, it's happened before, and it'll probably happen again, for history usually repeats itself.
[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;22223762]I have a gun. When you can only shoot at targets, it gets boring really fast, so I can't imagine what the appeal is behind it.[/QUOTE]
Competition shooting, most people are in to the sport of shooting. (IE Trap parks, ranges, and hunting.) A small amount are the wanna be army men with dozens of guns and try to be cool. Others on the other hand are avid collectors and simply like the weapons because of their style and the story behind each one.
It's no different then any other sport. To be honest there are less accidents/injuries in the hunting category then most sports. Hell cheer leading has a higher accidents then hunting.

Cool way to stereotype the NRA bro. No shit Sherlock, of course weapons where built to kill. I thought that was common knowledge and not some hidden secret.
Sure some people are like that, but not all of them are. You're just as ignorant as the immature members of that club who try and act "badass."

No point in having weapons? Of course there is a point, defense mainly, but there are other uses for them. Hunting/sports. Just because someone owns a weapon and enjoys shooting it doesn't make them a wannabe cowboy. Gun laws have never been a problem, however to take them away from law abiding citizens would cause great distress, criminals wouldn't have a deterrent anymore. Criminal are not suppose to have weapons by law anyway but they get them anyway - they're criminals. They'll get them with weapon bans anyway.
But it is obvious from your posts that you're just another ignorant fool who believes all weapons are bad and should be banned.

Stop this bullshit, seriously, people own guns for sport, hunting(not everyone lives within 30 minutes of a nearby store, some people have to kill animals to eat), self defense and the reason stated earlier.
And most people in the NRA are very responsible gun owners.

I would also like to add that in order to get these select fire weapons legally, you have to have to go through extensive background checks and I think some mental screenings to insure you aren't fucking psychotic, the process usually takes around a few weeks to a few months, so it's not like you can just walk into a gun shop and buy a SMG or something on the spot.

Guns should be handled by civilian law enforcement, private security contractors, and the military. If civilians MUST owned guns, they should be stored at the local gun range under heavy guard. The odds of a crime being committed against you in which owning a personal defense weapon would be useful are very, very low.

Yet shooting are apart of 3 Olympic Sports.
Also way to sound like a snobbish stuck up cunt you asshole, that will totally make your argument be better.
Also you are a idiot if you imply a gun is accurate up to 2 miles simply because it's a gun and it's not the person aimming it.
Meanwhile so what if you could hit something a mile away?

For once, I'll disagree with you because thats idiotic. Governments shouldn't be trusted to be the only ones armed.
[QUOTE=archangel125;22224412]Guns should be handled by civilian law enforcement, private security contractors, and the military.[/QUOTE]
Because the police, who are just civilians who tend to have ego problems and rage issues really need to be the only ones armed.

Even in Europe they don't have such limitations, only places like South Korea and Singapore require that and that's because they are so built up.

How do you know the odds are low? Let me guess you're a statistical expert now and has compiled years of data to come up with this conclusion.
Not all places have local gun ranges, think about the people who live in small towns or by themselves in the middle of nowhere and their nearest house is 3-5 miles away. Plus such a idea is stupid and would cost more then it is worth.
But anyway, your ideas are ignorant. Just shows you have no idea what your talking about.

The DC sniper incident would totally have happened in a country like Canada, right? The VT school shooting? How about Columbine? Look at the bottom line.
There were two shooting incidents in Canada, in Quebec. There have been many in the USA.

NO.
You don't understand how easy it would make it for the government to push people around and do whatever the fuck they want, the government is supposed to fear the citizens, not vice versa, the government works for the people, not vice versa, guns are also a sign of control, as you said earlier, but not in the way that "OH MY GOD MY PENIS IS HUUUUGGGEEE BECAUSE OF THIS", and the people are supposed to be in control, for the most part.
You can call me a crazy redneck all you want, I don't care, I don't want to live in a country where the government pushes me around all day and night.
I would also like to add that the people having guns is also an additional deterrent to any foreign attacks, that way you have both the US Military and the Militias and any people who aren't involved in Militias but still have a collection of guns.

The countries are different though. You cant compare it like that. Want to go back in time? Ok, then do that, because at this stage, it is impossible, and WRONG, to limit guns. Its nonsensical, unreasonable, and impossible. You want to? Tell me how you can, and tell me under what logical basis it works.

Shootings happen in Canada too, so you can take that theory and shove it up yer arse.

The fuck are you talking about, Canadian gun laws are pretty much like American gun laws except you can't open or concealed carry, and I think the Pistol laws are a bit stricter, meanwhile they have this list of Weapons that are banned for being based on a Automatic Rifle's Design or something to that effect (AR-15s exempted for some reason) which means if you want a AK-type rifle, the best you can get is a VZ 58.
