Opinion about gun control?

[rockslide26]

Kids get stabbed because killers always have a way to kill.
Drugs being legal doesn't change that people who do drugs will do them.

Here we go, more quotes for you guys

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” -Cesare Beccaria

Gun's being illegal doesn't mean people won't get them. What if said someone with a gun snaps. We suddenly have to rely on a protection force that not only will not be on the scene immediately, but might not be as well trained as some of our citizens. Soldiers, contractors, enthusiasts. Those are the real people who help me sleep at night. Not some average guy in a uniform.

Those people will not have guns to protect us. The cops are miles away.

To lazy to edit: Nothing is scarier to someone with the intent to kill than return fire.

This is true, but there are also other nations much like the United States (the UK for example) that are much less violent than us.

I will say this is in part due to the fact that Europeans in general are much more trusting of their government due to the devastation that 20th century wars have on them (kinda like how Germany gets freaked out over any gun in a game), and also the fact that European countries overall tend to have more centralized economic sectors and social groups, which heavily reduces tensions due to the lack of differences.

I'm not talking about guns. I didn't mention guns at all, your views on murder and drugs were just off.
I agree with your stance on guns, but not murder or drugs.

In fact, the whole psychology of drugs is just plain silly to me.

I agree, social classism is a very preventable driver of violence

You sound suspiciously like a paranoid teabagger. Our government happens to be made up of everyday people, and not a furious tyrant on another continent. This doesn't really apply any more.

are you kidding me? the government has tripled in size over the last 12 years alone.
and during that time the presidents have spent great efforts creating executive order loopholes to Annoying Orange every constitutional right there is.

there is no better a time to have big guns then now

Why would there be a rebellion if the government isn't actually loving stuff.

[Bisjac]

probably when the dollar crashes lol.
no one cares about corruption until they are super broke.

The right to rebellion is what's promised. If you'd like to kiss the government's ass and be systematically stripped of your rights, be my guest.

Mr. Mitt Romney has loads of money.

So when exactly does defying the government start? And how?
