Why make gun laws if criminals don't follow them?

really? because its fully logical

Laws dissuade criminals from committing that crime. But laws also shouldn't put innocent people in danger.

Notice how no one is arguing against you right now? This is the truth they're trying so hard to deny. Because I think they know it, too, they just don't want to admit it. That's why I'm saying they don't care about kids dying if it means they have to give up their toys.
2 ups, 7y
Thank you. Weird stuff isn't it. Here's some food for thought. The subject isn't easy. But in this modern day and age, having toys at a gunclub or gunrange is ok, but for self protecting? C'mon we don't live in the middle ages anymore. If we want to move forward, things have to change. It all comes down to trust, trusting yourself and your neighbour, police and government. (don't hit me with conspiracy shit, have some trust and think for yourself)

If we turn it around, there is something that needs to change, several things actually. It's not a single problem. The thing that baffles me is why no one is asking why he shot up the school, because there lies the real problem. Bullying, exclusion? If we want to change it, you also need to change the envoirnment we live in. We people are a weird kind, we don't want to change and wanting to protect it and habits whatever the costs.

Argument for having guns: to protect yourself- ok, then why are crazy gunmen never shot by people that have a gun to protect themself.

have guns because we don't trust the government, well that is a problem in itself. Why is that, old thing from the wild west when the settlers came from Europe?

We'll never stop illegal guns, that's a non-argument, but we sure can minize the wrong people having them. Having a firearm permit, Phyc checks, background checks, only semi-automatic guns, gunclub registration for beeing skilled owning one, police checking your gun and ammo storage. You can't stop the people that snap and go nuts. There are more nutsjobs on the streets, then that are locked up.

It goes on and on. But we have to start somewhere if we don't want our children to die unnecessarily.
I'm afraid the replies will come in now.

I've seen people mention Chicago but I'm failing to see anything other than a no open carry law there. Unless you're talking about that ban some years back that didn't last very long because they're surrounded by red states where people from Chicago could go and buy guns anyway?

The Left always tries to use the argument of other european countries that have banned guns but this isn't europe. Let's talk about North America. No one mentions El Salvador, Guatemala, or even Mexico..where guns are banned or heavily restricted but they have the highest murder rates and gangs rule. Do they not count? If not, why? Is the Left not citing them? Because they are shithole countries? To not include them in the stats the Left is admitting they are shithole countries and that is racist.

Those countries have weak and corrupt law enforcement, guerilla militias and drug cartels controlling politicians and assassinating them left and right. Our society is different. It's not an apples to apples comparison.

We have corrupt law enforcement, or Hillary would be in Jail. We also have MS-13, bloods, Crips, Hells Angels and so many other gangs and we have the Largest drug cartel in the world. Big Pharma. ALL of the school shooters and most of the other mass shooters were on some kind of psychotropic drug like Xanax, Ritalin, or something similar. If you want to stop school killings then quit giving pills to kids.
1 up, 7y
Hillary would be in jail for what again? (Still waiting for the axe to come down on Trump's collusion with Russia and taking bribes for treason). Corporations are different from cartels for obvious reasons. Suburban gangs are different from jungle militias for obvious reasons. You can try to draw comparisons but our country is still a lot different from those or so many people from there wouldn't be trying so hard to come here.

Guns aren't legal to protect you from your own government. That's still treason. They're legal for arming militias against foreign invasion. (It's like they only read the parts of the constitution they like. Kinda like the bible.)

That is the concept of the Social Contract. Governments exist to serve its people; if it fails to do so, if it breaks the contract by failing to serve the people, then they have both the right and moral obligation to replace the government with one that will.

Well... There was a comment in another meme about armed people ready to overthrow a government which becomes tyrannical: imgflip.com/i/24r4fl?nerp=1519235113#com2134111 So which is it? Washington D.C. going nuts, or the commies invading U.S.A.? Why do we need the 2nd amend?
2 ups, 7y,
1 reply
They aren't invading. That's too costly. They're just helping us tear ourselves apart from within. We're literally doing the dirty work for them. All the guns in the world aren't going to change that. By the time we're done we'll probably welcome them with open arms (POTUS practically does).

So 2nd amendment and all the AR-15's in the world won't help against the enemies of U.S? Geez, sounds almost like the 2nd amendment might be a bit outdated.

well sadly i'm not an expert. :( but what i do have is a brain and sense of logic. so all you have to do, is give security guards at school, guns so things like Columbine and the Florida Shootings wouldn't happen. guards at the school couldn't do anything because they didn't have any guns.

true. a very good point. although, we already have limited gun laws. ridding us of our ability to own them, makes the criminals the only ones with guns, because they are the ones that break the law anyway

the meme was showing that making something illegal, doesn't mean people will still use it. drugs are still a problem even though they are illegal. making guns illegal wont solve any problems. if the gun is responsible for me murdering people, then my pencil is the reason i failed the test. know what i mean?

But that's assuming banning guns and making a concerted effort to eradicate them won't work and we can't say for sure that's the case because we haven't tried it.

People are physically addicted to drugs. There are people who will get sick and turn suicidal without them (opiates) which puts them in high demand. While guns might be an addiction of sorts, you're not going to get the chills and vomit if you can't have one. And no one is going around mass OD'ing people against their will like how innocent people are getting shot. So comparing drugs to guns is not apples to apples.

drugs should be handled with care and instead of alienating our people because of it, they should provide it in and a stable environment and ween them off it for treatment.

No. I respect every ones right to choose to own and carry a weapon. But I also have the right not to. I am borderline suicidal and worry about what I would do during one of my worse depressive episodes if there was a quick convenient means handy. There are also other reasons I don't want a gun in my house. In my personal situation, not owning a gun is a responsible choice. But I would never presume to make that decision for others.

In Grind's America you would first be ticketed for failure to carry a firearm in public. You could either immediately talk to a judge or if you are a repeat offender you will be required to appear before a judge where you could present your 'depressed/suicidal' case. The judge would order a psychological evaluation and if you were found to be suicidal/depressed you could apply for a no-carry liscence.

In grinds America what do you tell the parents of the children killed by accidental shootings? the deliberate ones? grind you are not right in your head. You belong in Tucson AZ in 1883

2 ups, 7y,

There would be way less accidental shootings in Grind's America because children would be educated about gun safety in school. Not just proper handling, but scenario training as well. Incidents of deliberate shootings would decrease also because potential shooters would know that they're going to have every one around them pointing their piece right back at them. The transition will be rough at first, but once society adapts there would be unprecedented peace in the streets.
