Can you at least agree that, ignoring practicality, in an ideal world nobody should own a gun?


but there would still be mentally challenged/deranged people that would kill or steal just for the fun of it or because they wouldnt know better, so therefore yes, guns would be necessary.

how about hunters that kill animals to feed their families?

but to ignore practicallity would just be day dreaming. Therefore, not a base to outlaw guns. Hope is not a plan-remember that.

I don't agree. If people are so far gone as to be such a danger to society, they should not be allowed the freedoms that most people are from whatever stage in childhood their problem is first noted.

You make a good point here. I'm afraid I shall have to eat my words. However, I still do not think just anybody should be able to buy a gun.

neither do i, thats what a 4473 is for, which also doesnt allow mentally challenged Americans to purchase a gun. I also believe the 4473 could be stricter but it does a good job currently on people purchasing a gun. In an ideal world, the 4473 would be sufficient enough to ensure that guns are in the right hands. However, in the real world, people can obtain guns other than the legal way.

However, in a perfect world, i do agree with you that the only ones that should have guns are cops and hunters. Therefore, guns, in themselves are not evil.

Ask Australians what happened to the amount of murders committed with guns after guns were banned
Only 2 things are infinite the universe and human stupidity, but I am not sure about the former.

apples and oranges

Australia is an island, therefore not easily accessible

the United States is land bound with Canada and Mexico as its borders. If America is gun-free, Mexico isnt. Mexico has MS13 and Mexican Mafia and even the Mexican Army that can easily penetrate through our borders and easily supply more gangs with guns. Terrorists have also been known to fly into these neighboring countries and infiltrate our border. Completely different.

What I meant by "freedoms" was the freedom to live in society as normal people do. If they are that dangerous to other people, why should they be allowed such freedom?

I don't know very much about it, but from what I do know of gun legislation in America, I agree that it should be stricter.

Agreed.

I live in Australia, however I do not know when guns were banned here, leading me to suspect that it was before my arrival in the country.

In my opinion, the only people to carry guns should be police, and then only for use when someone is resisting arrest.

The 2nd Amendment was added to ensure that man has the right to bear arms in order to protect against enemies, both foreign and domestic. The Gestapo was also police you know. Any civilian who they found to carry a gun back then was summarily executed. Perhaps not a bad idea eh? Or at the very least torture them a little.

Back from Afghanistan, Marine shoots would-be carjacker

The Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala.(AP) - A Marine sergeant based in North Carolina who served in Afghanistan earlier this year shot and killed a would-be carjacker.
Sgt. James C. Lowery, 22, returned fire after being shot in the face  in the drive-thru lane of a fast-food restaurant. He was listed in fair condition Thursday at a Montgomery hospital. His father, James Eugene Lowery, said the bullet hit his son in the top left cheek and stopped near his voice box. "He comes back from Afghanistan safe and whole. Then he comes home on leave to have rest and peace and this happens," the father said.

Police said Lowery got out of his Chevrolet Suburban when approached by a gunman in the drive-thru lane of a McDonald's restaurant Tuesday night. The gunman shot Lowery, who was then able to get his .45-caliber pistol from the car and shoot his assailant multiple times. Dead at the scene was Thaddeus Antone, 19, of Montgomery.

The fatal shooting is viewed as self-defense and no charges were filed, police spokesman Lt. Huey Thornton said. It will be reviewed by a grand jury following routine procedure.

Lowery, who was on leave until Sunday, serves with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252, based at the Marine Corps Air Station at Cherry Point, N.C.

Lowery's father said the unit flies tankers than can refuel aircraft in flight. Lowery, who got married in January, went to Afghanistan a week later and served there for about two months.

So because of a few idiots who decide to fuck things up, guns should be made freely available to the general public?

Another objection I have to allowing people to own guns is their cost. Because America is such a capitalist nation, the result is that wealthier people can afford to protect themselves better than poor people. Why should people have more right to protection just because they have more money?

Also, why do you say "guns"? Surely if one gun isn't going to protect you, no amount of ammunition will? Why the need for more than one?

Dude, you can get a cheap ass shotgun pretty much anywhere. I'm sure when it comes to defending your home, you'll want close, broad shots rather than precision. A blast to the chest will do wonders. And I know a lot of people who have shotguns in their homes.

Now, to be perfectly honest, I can tell you were trying to think fancy and elegant. That only applies to assassination or long range killing, which isn't really something you can defend yourself against, unless you wear full body armor 24/7, drive around in an armored car and the assailant is a poor shot, the first two require lots of money to afford.

Its too late now everyone has guns.

Its all borne out of paranoia anyway, all of it.

You survived 100,000 years or whatever without guns then the last 300 years you "need" them?

Bullshit.

Same applies to oil, gas, electricity, technology... man evolved with none of this therefore it is not necessary.

Guns in themselves aren't evil, They could be used in many applications outside of killing. A highly efficient hole-puncher for example. It's people's use of guns which is evil.

I agree to this. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. With knives.

Most people don't own guns to protect themselves. They own them for target shooting, hunting, display pieces.

And to the guy before this, any gun can kill just as well as any other. More expensive doesn't matter when you're capping someone in the back of the head from 2 feet away.
