[quote]The Chicago, Illinois, City Council in a 45-0 vote approved a new gun ordinance Friday, four days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the city's 28-year-old strict ban on handgun ownership was unconstitutional. Among other details, the ordinance allows only one operable firearm per household, meaning all other guns would need to have gun locks or be in locked cases. It also requires owners to have a state firearms permit, to register weapons with Chicago police and to take four hours of classroom training and one hour of firing range training. The plan also bans assault weapons and gun shops in the city. Continued...[/quote] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/07/02/illinois.gun.ban/index.html?hpt=T1[/url]

Why does 70 percent of facepunch like guns so much? I understand if you want them because they're cool, but pepperspray/folding knife is a much better self defense method.
[QUOTE=JDK721;23071079][url]http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/07/02/illinois.gun.ban/index.html?hpt=T1[/url][/QUOTE] Bans assault weapons. Seriously. YOU JUST GOT TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS OVER BANNING HANDGUNS YOU FUCKING MORONS. It's like they don't get it. That is even assuming assaults weapons were used in crimes. Handguns make up almost all of gun crime. The majority of the rest are shotguns and rifles. "Assault" weapons usually make up less than a tenth of a percent, if not totally zero. This is now flat out illegal for them to do. They have crossed the line and Federal intervention is now needed because they just don't fucking get it.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but are civilians allowed to purchase rubber bullets or those bean bag shotguns that riot cops use?

I haven't seen any rubber bullets around though. [editline]08:21AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Lemonator;23071156]Why does 70 percent of facepunch like guns so much?

Honestly with stupid god loving, gun owning retarded shit kicking rednecks in Texas owning tons of guns, I don't think it should be a civil right when you have millions of cousinfuckers running around packing heat.

Cool, cool. Also, many handguns don't have a safety. Like Glocks.

A knife is useless for self defense unless you're in a situation in which you can entirely anticipate the attacker's presence, like a home invasion. Still a lot easier to shoot someone down a hallway then try to bumrush him with a knife. Pepperspray is a joke.
[QUOTE=mastermaul;23098921] Pepperspray is a joke.[/QUOTE] I really meant pepperspray/teargas in general, It can be easily used and its much cheaper than a gun.

Raise your hand if you own a gun and have had to use it in self defense.
[QUOTE=DrMonumbo;23099131]Raise your hand if you own a gun and have had to use it in self defense.[/QUOTE] What's the point of asking us this?
Don't worry about it, you've answered my question.
[QUOTE=DrMonumbo;23099293]Don't worry about it, you've answered my question.[/QUOTE] You could also use this argument against vaccines, which is obviously totally smart
Except that instead of receiving an overwhelming answer of "no", people would be able to tell me "yes, I have fallen ill" Don't make hyperbolic analogies, please, it doesn't help your case.

I like how you came to the conclusion of what you'd find before actually doing the research, by the way.
Because this is the matrix and you actually have a chance to shoot someone who has a gun trained on you, right?
