What will happen to the black market if guns stop being sold legally?

Who purchases stuff from the black market, the good or bad people?

Ever wondered why folks are scared of robbing people anyhow? especially in their homes.

Who robs people? the good or bad. wink

What moronic junk nonsense.

Here is the crime stats between Austria and USA.

I specifically choose Austri because it is landlocked, hence should have porous borders where guns can be smuggled in much more easily unlike the UK which is an island.

Which country has more robberies and murders? The one that makes guns-ownership widespread?

BuddhaPalm:


On the surface, it sounds like a wack decision. But if you look closely, you'll see it's sound and will be effective.

Mass shooters tend to choose soft targets.

What's a softer than a school full of kids, and designated as a "gun-free zone"?

Why don't they go shoot up police stations?

The mere thought that you could meet resistance will discourage all but the most determined of school shooters.

What moronic junk!

Teachers being the line of defence against mass shootings?

What utter idiotic junk!

First of all, there is already a report of a qualified police officer at the school who sought safety for himself first instead of engaging in a gunfight. Is it teachers you think would then put their lives at risk when a bust of automatics is ringing out from 1 or 2 individuals? How many people would have been killed before they come out?

Secondly, lets even state that these teachers are some fcking Rambos who take delight in taking part in Die Hard 8, how effective do you think they would be?

According to statistical data, even police officers who fire their firearm during duty at a non-firing target have less than 35% hit rate.

Talkless of those that are firing their firearm on duty in a gunfight who have about 18% hit rate.

https://www.myajc.com/blog/get-schooled/gunfights-trained-officers-have-percent-hit-rate-yet-want-arm-teachers/mDBlhDtV6Na4wJVpeu58cM/

So how do you expect teachers to be more effective in shooting than those that probably use it every month and are more used to being shot at?

BuddhaPalm:

Gun control also disarms lawful citizens AND makes it possible for only criminal to own guns.

Get it in your head that gun control in the US does not even necessarily mean "don't have any guns". The first frontier is "don't have a gun designed for mass shooting/warfare".

BuddhaPalm:

If most homes in Nigeria had guns, do you think these 2-bit miscreants that invade homes will be as rampant?

Don't compare an advanced nation to a 8th world nation. That is moronic.

Compare it with Europe.

BuddhaPalm:

Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the US, yet they are the murder capital of the US.

This year alone, 321 people have been shot, with 62 dead and 259 wounded.

Mind you we are just in the second month of the year!

What an idiotic statement.

Chicago has border security in a country where guns are easily gotten?


BuddhaPalm:

Also, you need to look at the significance of guns in US history and culture.

They earned their independence with guns.

And so?

That is an excuse for this stupidity?

BuddhaPalm:

Their framers, having just fought off a tyrannical government, knew all too well the importance of an armed citizenry.

Power corrupts absolutely - as the saying goes, and the founding fathers of the US were very distrustful of big government's potential to encroach on people's freedoms.

The role of guns, in the US, becomes very clear when you look at the first two items in the Bill or Rights:

First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Second Amendment: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."


Here are a few quotes from some of their founding fathers:

1.) "The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear ar as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." --- Thomas Jefferson[/center]


2.) "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence." --- George Washington[/center]

What a purely idiotic statement.

Please tell us when in the last 100 years the US have ever come close to ever needing for the citizens to raise a gun against their government.

If there is ever a case of such a government, you think gun owners would be able to stop that government?

If they gave you a gun in Nigeria and you know your neighbours and many others have a gun too, you would have stepped up to fight the likes of Abacha?

What moronic nonsense are you chatting?

Funny how folks who claim to be civil resort to insulting anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Hope this ain't how you argue offline? undecided...Quite unfortunate.

Gun laws still stand whether you like it or not, no amount of insults will change that. wink

Stop chatting crap from your arse!

Where did you get your "facts" from?

Here are stats for you:

http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Nigeria/United-States/Crime/Violent-crime

And not to even factor in that the US has a better trained, equipped and paid police force than Nigeria. Yet, the crime there with guns and the murder rate per capita is worse in the US.

Product of a failed education system and their "facts". Those children are 500 times more intelligent than you.

He was shouted down. The Republicans will hear none of it.
